Might be one of the most beautiful moments in the episode.
“Don’t burn alone” looking Nicki straight in the eye, the playful gesture after. He loved him so much.

gabriella being put on the same level as lestat’s literal rapist and abuser. but some anon blog on tumblr told me the incest is “consensual” and “they didn’t make it clear enough lestat didn’t want it”

daniel visibly getting off on pulling truth out of people the same way armand compulsively lies is so important to me. match made in the place below hell.
even though their story is different, sam’s performance is exactly how i imagined lestat while reading tvl when it comes to his feeling of powerlessness wrt nicki’s mental state. it is just giving your all to help someone you love who is struggling, and still not being enough
#tvlspoilers gabriella laughing every time lestat had an emotion, leaving when he sings about the loneliness he has to endure. lestat is too human, too preoccupied with love, acceptance, things that they should've transcended. vampirism was a freedom from caring for gabriella.
i wish yall could have seen the loook on my face during this scene. he has me held on the edge of my seat so bad- im crying with him, im laughing with him, im mouth agape shocked at him like ouuuuu SAM REID THE ACTOR YOU ARE!!!! #tvlspoilers
every word every beg every cry from lestat here highlighting how attached he is to human emotions, how much love he had inside of him, the staggering contrast of gabriella laughing and armand’s stoic presence while lestat is literally falling apart & asking for help #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
“bruce’s death was unsatisfactory and they violated claudia with the scene” the scene is not about bruce – and barely even about claudia –, it’s about louis taking revenge thinking that it’ll fill the claudia-shaped hole in his soul, yet once he’s done he feels absolutely hollow.
that ‘are you gonna teach me to be a man, lestat de valois’ was delivered so nastily it almost made me want to see lestat fuck someone that isn’t louis, which isn’t like me at all
