the way lestat instantly bewitched my soul and heart with all his faggotry queer energy that french accent that cunty bob it was like taking the first sip of water after a week in the desert love at first sight and nothing has changed i loved him back then and still love him now
It’s interesting to see negative/shocked reactions to Lestat’s flamboyance in TVL. He was always like that, it’s just that he used to have to wear a suit.
It feels like there was only 7 of us who understood during the first watch of the pilot that Paul committed suicide on his own. Nothing about the storytelling suggested Lestat was involved, and 3 seasons in, people still believe it.
literally the only and infinitely more compelling reading of it is that it was simple and straightforward as a mental health tragedy that could happen to anyone, that paul couldn't get any help for at the time period and his loved ones couldn't make sense of
I kept wondering why she was looking at Lestat when asking “you back with him?” But it makes perfect sense that that question was actually intended for him. She’s surprised he’d go back to him after Louis plotted to kill him. “Love makes you stupid” applies to Lestat too.
Also of note, Paul’s presence in the finale was different than the others’ there. Everything from the timing of his entrance, the way he moved, the silence, the communication with the entity, etc. suggested he was more of an angel visiting. Context matters.

I really need AMC to give them 10 episodes for S4. It seems like there will be so much content to touch on, and I’d like them to have the space to really dive in and explain everything.
I haven’t read the book, but I do keep seeing this sentiment that Gabriella is so different. Based on what we came to learn about S1’s biased lens about what Lestat was like, I’m curious of how they’re going to expand her character and what’ll be the reason for how we see her now
This was so true and sad. The methods he constructed to survive early on have not been necessary for a long time, & they keep hurting people that he’s (maybe?) trying to love. They’ve shaped how he views relationships, and his refusal to break the cycle will keep causing damage.
