#tvlspoilers
Okay, so I’ve finally gathered my thoughts around past Lesmand in the show, why I think everything points to it happening in S4, and why I have my doubts it will.
I’ll post the reasons why I believe it will in here, and the doubts in the reply.
no one is required to like the season obviously but to act like it’s a filler season and there wasn’t a lot of stuff that happened is a little disingenuous.
I think it’s pretty hard for any adaptation to please everyone, and I have my own opinions about this season too. But seriously, some of you need to let it go. If you hated EVERYTHING, maybe it’s time to move on instead of spending all day insulting people who enjoyed it
#tvlspoilers Garbiella forcing Lestat into, according to her, strictly masculine roles (man of the house, leader), and Lestat’s gender fluidity/non-conformity, and how this cycle is bound to repeat with Akasha.
This was one of the best episodes of the show. Period. Everyone who get it, get it.
Just fucking incredible and so beautiful.
DIVINE! As David Lynch’ works fan its everything I ever wanted. The long table. Loumand. Paul and Lestat. DIVINE.
3x07 you always will be famous.
tvl presenting a good portrayal of a victim of incestuous abuse and grooming coming to terms with the abuse inflicted on him after a season of trying to avoid grappling with what was done to him and finally taking a stand for himself against one of his abusers

or guilty. The decapitation makes that process literal. Armand separates Louis from his own mind, memory, and authority to interpret his life, then replaces them with his version of Louis. He has been cutting off Louis’s head for seventy years or +. The series merely stopped 5
That is what Armand does to Louis. He takes Louis’s real guilt & turns it into a total identity. Louis is not allowed to be someone who caused harm, suffered harm, loved, failed, was manipulated, & remained larger than all of it. Under Armand’s authorship, he becomes guiltless 4
society inventing “the Black man” & then forcing Black people to live inside it. Not being permitted to move beyond that world’s account. The prison is not only what others call you. It is being made to see yourself through the identity they constructed to contain you. 3
understand all of that, yet somehow can't believe he would also weaponize the amends? Or do we only object because he used it against Louis? Does the image of cutting off Louis’s head make 7 decades of psychological violence too stark to ignore? Baldwin writes about white 2
Armand uses AA: an anonymous space organized around confession, vulnerability, & recovery as a recruitment ground. He can feed among people on society’s margins, manipulate desperate minds, build a localized network of human followers who mistake his control for purpose. We 1
@amadeogroomer@salamanderzz09 YES!! He doesn’t leave situations that he doesn’t enjoy, even though he’s the one w the most power in those circumstances & can absolutely walk away at any time. But when those things are destroyed & he has to walk away, he still punishes others for ruining what he WANTEZ ruined
it’s important to me everyone knows armand could have left louis literally whenever he wanted to, the same way he could have left the CoD or the TdV whenever he wanted to, and him not leaving these situations is not due to his inability to do so
