Genuinely what outside consequence from the publication of the book has lestat faced? Louis's apologizing to him, he has a documentary coming out, he has all these adoring fans like maybe they touch on it later in the season but so far it feels like this nigga got off scot free
daniel publishes the book without consent and leaves louis to deal with the consequences, fareed leaves, rashid leaves, lestat is angry at him for something he didn’t do. quite the accurate experience of everyone you know dropping you after you come out as an abuse victim.
so, let me get this straight: both lestat's brothers and gabrielle had the perfect natural hair for the role, but they decided for the wigs because......?????????
because we do not live in a world where women a taken seriously about their abuse and the second yall learn Claudia lied about one thing yall are going to call her equally as abusive as Lestat and take all of his word as gospel while calling her a manipulative liar
"why won't yall let claudia be evil!!!" and the "evil" in question would be her lying about her abuser abusing her some more in order to convince the other person he's abusing to run away #hmmmm
So tired of the fandom coddling helaena she does literally absolutely nothing but stare at her ugly ass bugs and mumble shit while wasting everyone's time
why is the way she perceived her relationship with him not real? why is his version the one that's the truth?? I think that's my biggest problem with this fandom bc why is lestats "truth" treated as gospel as if he hasn't been lying why isn't her truth the truth I hate it here
this is so annoying cause book rhaenyra is a femenine woman, and it was never the point of the story that she had to perform masculinity to make up for her being "weak". she just was the chosen heir and that's that. i'll judge when i see it in context but It feels weird
Ryan Condal is a blatant misogynist & racist, with delusions of grandeur
he is a narcissist; he genuinely thinks he's some sort of woke feminist king, meanwhile he is incapable of writing a female character who 1) has agency, 2) isn't a wishy washy wet wipe or 3) isn't "crazy"
