I hope they keep Gabi up front and center to make the audience confront the way we moralize/sentimentalize motherhood. Yep, she's a monstrous mother! She's Medea, a womb that's a tomb, she's inverts the natural maternal order, and Jennifer is acting her ass off.
the tongue poke is so playful and tender. it’s a performance but also intimate for his lovers ghost, like that’s a little glimpse of the kid in lestat that only nicki knew omg it’s getting me so emotional
#tvlspoilers i saw that moment of louis reading pages from claudia's diaries to bruce as him believing he is about to have some grand moment of vindication, but bruce not feeling any remorse just made it absolutely pointless. he read it for nothing
everyone being surprised daniel is truly vicious when he’s been like this since s1e01, meanwhile to me this episode made me MORE interested in him. i really do love that even before he was turned, he’d always been a bloodthirsty vampire ready to drain the story out of someone.
Borderline sociopathic how ppl talk abt claudia and Lestat's trauma everything boils down to how their fave character is looking morally baby all of them are fucked up
Show/book: lestat has been assaulted
Ppl on here: so why are the writers trying to make it seem like lestat has been assaulted to make him seem likeable
That man had 77 years of isolation+100 years of sleep and has genuinely apologized and has gotten punished for what he has done ... Now it's time for characters around him to start picking up on their slacks
louis should not have read claudia’s diary entries back to bruce and the parallel shouldn’t have been made with lestat’s turning they were both disrespectful to claudia and used as a way to be redeemable points for louis and lestat #tvlspoilers
ridiculous doesn’t even begin to cover this bullshit. nicolas is in the middle of a paranoid break down when he implies lestat is fucking armand. lestat denied and rejected armand’s love in the exact same episode u cannot be this willfully stupid
It will always be lestat and that's claudia's tragedy with loustat she will always be on their mind but if it comes down to that situation again they will choose eo
something i’ve been thinking abt is that “you got your song” like lestat saying that’s it. i thought abt you enough, i have u ur song, i exorcized u, u demanded to be felt & i did. but he didnt, he romanticized the assault & now the reality comes crashing down on him #tvlspoilers
cant think of a more perfect song to end the ep. its such a cathartic moment for lestat after he spends so long suppressing his trauma. it feels like a love letter to the vampire chronicles itself & how anne rice was able to heal from her grief over losing michele by writing iwtv
And also Gabi being dismissive abt claudia and the family he had in NOLA he genuinely gave her so many chances 💀💀and he kind of understands her exploitative nature subconsciously won't say it but knows how she views him
Ppl will say he was jealous but I think remembering the horror and seeing her dismiss him AGAIN for the umpteenth time after ignoring his cries for help he genuinely grew frustrated lol
Sé que van a pensar que él estaba celoso pero yo lo veo más decepcionado porque al final esa es la forma en la que su MADRE solo puede verle………………………como algo sexual
