Commentary on Interview With The Vampire - Episode 1 (Spoilers)

Shorter thoughts vers

Barely fully in and it already looks beautiful. Was the budget in the billions because this shit is so crisp, fuck!

Hannah Baker was out-fucking performed. TAPES RO HARRASS A DYING MAN WHO DIDNT USE YOUR VAMPIRE SECRET? Lestat would be so proud!

I am so happy this is the direction they chose — brining us to modern time, the only time I wanna hear about the pandemic in entertainment media. And all while humanity does, Louis is stuck in his high tower with some high tech ass Dubai apartment? Purr.

Nvm, Mans seem sick of it lmao. Stuck there in his own personal house-coffin (I’d still prefer a coffin, and I feel like Lestat would have never chosen a place penthouse. He’s too French for modern builds. “Louis? NO QUALITY WOODEN COFFIN?” He’d say, in a French accent, in disgust.

I am a whore for period piece and they’re taking us to 1910 AND New Orleans? Spoiled. We’ve been spoiled.

Gosh the vulgar language, I am shaking from excitement! Pls!

I know a lot of black folks hate it when they have the white say the n-word, but that ‘unhand me nigger’ comment killed me, that white man forgot where he was for a second

I too agree, anal without consent is against god (I screamed, the whores are funny)

Not Paul tryna play captain save a Ho, man’s brough a Bible Too — I love him.

THE BRAWL! And this whole time Lestat is watching like it’s forplay for later.

HE PULLED A SWORD ON HIS OWN BROTHER? That’s cold Lou, but I respect it, gotta do what you gotta do.

Lestat watching, BRICKED UP, and I cannot believe nobody’s falling in love like this ANYMORE. WE USED RO BE A SOCIETY! (How I imagine Lestat internally, as he watch his man pull a whole sword out of his Pimp 3000 Cain)

Pls not the disgusted faces on the white men watching Louis walk in!!! Fighting for their lives to not say sum — TRY IT :^b

The lines should have been “damn so they just letting anybody in” so I could have really lost it. His racism wasn’t racist enough — I predicted they’d make him a proper French (racist) but they didn’t drive it all the way, and I get why. Can’t have the protagonist calling the other protagonist a nigger after all (well I haven’t seen Ep. 2 so perhaps) but it would be accurate. I just don’t believe white ppl weren’t racist, even the DOCTOR was sliming it around and that’s the homie, y’a know?

Awww Lestat is like a tarot girlie after watching one Tiktok reading and suddenly she sees 11.11 everywhere. “Ah Louis?! I was heading to St. Louis? Hahah so you’re my saint haha”, Lestat pls you look desperate pls breath baby breath (same tho)

His French is so good!  Ça m’a pris par surprise! Qu’est-ce qu’il est français ou il est juste un bon acteur? I could Google it, but how else will I flex that I too, speak French. Lestat is actually my cousins neighbor, oui oui baguette.

LMAOOOO “that explains the attire” SHOTS FIRED. Man’s came for his whole fit, and Lestat laughed it off cuz he’s in love, wow.

Lestat is such a scorpio sun libra Mercury scorpio mars because who tells a story, LEANS FOR A SLUTTY KISS and continues with the same elegance? He’s such a slut, I love it!

The way he just had foreplay and the whole time Louis fighting for his life to not bust. Cuz what? Watching a man touch a woman that way with their gaze fixed on you only? He’s playing with you Lou! RUN (not to fast tho, make it clap as you go tihi)

Am I wrong for thinking Louis was not just mad that Lestat froze him but that he knows without much effort? He knows Louis a raging homosexual and it’s been what? Minutes? Pls!

“I’ve emptied a bank volt to sample” LESTAT! He’s a whore but I’m still shocked, I knew this BUT IM STILL SHCOKED!

He really saw Louis in the act for seconds and decided to not just stay but get a home, furnish it, get a wardrobe, ignore that it’s basically a red light district (sure there’s buisness but he comes off too french to ever accept to live near the sound of cheeks being clapped) JUST cuz Louis is there. When will it be me god?

“You are his destiny Louis”— istfg if I do not experience this soon I will combust. PlS!

The bidding war was so hot and then he placed his ring and I felt it in every fiber of my being. Can’t beleive Lilly didn’t say ‘just get y’a cocks out and let’s do it the proper way’ the way they were slinging

Louis’ idk if I wanna be him, beat him or fuck him moment was real, man’s was fighting gay thoughts with all his might (and looses, later)

His mind filled with just Lestat huh? So the gay thought’s won? I wonder if he tells Lestat that? If he does I think lestat’s head will grow too big for his hats.

Thé poker game was smooth and I love how Louis just went meh, and didn’t question the time freezing, the voice in his mind or the enormous compliment — you are worth more, king. Big ups.

Pls Not them having put and Louis bring smt to read, he’s such a weirdo bro we know you know he’s basically taking you out on dates and you love it! PUT THE BOOK DOWN AND FLIRT BACK *holds up a gun*

THE CINEMA! Such cultured lads! I love them. Out here watching while Lestat watching his snack, I MEAN HIS MAN, I MEAN HIS BUISNESS PARTNER

‘He’s not white he’s French’ — this is what all white Man’a whore tell themsleves. Didn’t I fucking predict they’d say that? Lmaoo I did!

NOT HIM CALLING HIS MOM MAMMA DU LAC! He’s tryna fit in and Paul fighting back from saying sum (not too hard tho cuz now he’s going in lmao GET HIM LIL BRO)

“What’s the nature of your relationship with my brother” All my mind can think off is ‘everybody knows… everybody knows that he fucks you’. Cuz why would he ask that? Clearly that’s your future brother in law AND PAUL KNEW! The voices told him he was amongst the gays tihi

Okay Lestat pls don’t trauma dump on Paul lmao, answer the question or politely ignore it cuz I feel like Paul has some ‘you’ve got the wrong time but the right bitch’-him and just swing cuz what? But I think he’s being pulled in so he couldn’t even move if he wanted to.

NOT LOUIS SETTING IT STREIGHT! Idk why I thought he’d be a pushover after all the dreamy stairs Lestat has given him:)

This is all I can imagine Lestat thinking as he dinned with black ppl probably for the first time ever — rich and educated at that.

Please! A Lilly for his front pocket and a Lilly for Louis to do nothing with but entertain him, tihi

Not her revealing he’s gay, girl, bffr. “It’s okay” this strange white man now knows too fucking much babes but whatever

THE ALMOST TOUCH! I had to close the screen sorry I am used to fluff only (no I am not, but that yanked me)

now he’s in his head, fucking his mind and eyes and watching him get hard for him cuz Lilly ain’t doing shit but be a buffer. A pretty buffer getting a taste of Lestats man FOR NOW! Good *gets closer to screen* IS THAT FINGER SUCKING? Even pulling away in disgust was not convincing babes, !BE WHO YOU ARE!

THE FIGHT FOR DOMINANCE! MY GOSH AND THE RELEASE! It’s like he was pretending before going full ‘yeah now after we’ve kissed and touched titties, you know I’m into it so let me chill’ and he went lax, and now they floating, fucking and sucking. Gosh, this better win an award.

No because I fully beleive being drank from by a vampire is the closest thing humans will ever get to experience true euphoria and that’s why I will not simply be turned immediately. MAKE ME YOUR BLOODBAG FOR AT LEAST SEVEN DAYS AND SEVEN NIGHTS PLS I need to feel the THRILL

That was the most romantic, tender yet agressive love making bloodsucking scene I’ve ever witnessed. I’m bricked up, down there and up here (holds heart)

The wedding! This about to be good cuz y’all know black ppl know how to celebrate!

ARGH THE MONEY TO HER DRESS! The diaspora is ALIVE!

Thé dancing! Arghhhh this show is so freaking black, I love it! Anne is probably rolling in her grave, arguing with Satan to be resurrected so she can sue. Love it here

THE THROWN MONEY! YAAAAAAAS! Y’all don’t understand! This how we really be!!!! Black folks RISE! This one’s for us!

Now they climbing a whole roof just to … see the sunset? Babes… bffr.

Awww “I love you-“ why did that sound like a Goodby! Where is HEGOING NO-

NOOOOOOOOOOOO

Noooooooo! I’m fenna cry, PLEASE NOT PAUL! (I knew he dies but I also forgot but I also was just enjoying myself and they caught me slipping. Now I’m pausing to take deep breaths…)

And that was his last sunrise? Yeah, cuz the fucking cameras.

Pls not death is boring… Speak for yourself, some of us have yet to try >:( ( but I’ll probably agree. It’s so inevitable like boo, give us smt fresh, smt unexpected!)

Not his mama tryna blame him… pushed? Babes be fucking Fr rn. Fuck sakes. And his sister not defending or nun. She probably wanted him gone and now she got it.

I just feel bad cuz suicide is a sin and still he did it :/ sad.

MANS PULLED UP TO THE FUNERAL! Lestat you are sick (I love it). PLEASE NOT HIM ACTUALLY NOT GAF! Didn’t even wear black, even tho I know that wardrobe fully stocked!

“Not here” Louis says and Lestat is on sims ‘I texted, I called, I send a pigeon and nothing, ignoring me huh?

THE GASP THAT LEFT ME! NO LESTAT YOU CANT SAY THAT AT THE WALK TO THE FUNERAL! All in attempt to ‘pick me, choose me, love me’ into Louis’ heart, now Louis ready to fist fight you in the same streets you fell for him tsk me tsk tsk. Maybe y’all should step to the side and kiss. Cuz clearly Lestat was NOT leaving …

This is the lvl of toxic and possessiveness I thought I’d see in twilight… y’all fooled me. Cuz Bella would have loved this ngl and I’d have loved it more but Edward is a runner and a track star. Lestat tho? He’d probably kill the whole town for Louis to notice him.

This man went to the burial, didn’t even wait for his obsessive fangirl behavior, AND he killed Lilly leaving nobody for Louis to turn to. Now man’s fighting for his life and all I’m wondering is why no other vampire in history has ever been this obsessive so I’d know this is how fucked up I am (derogatory) wow. Went to every fucking limits just so Louis wouldn’t know peace.

NOT THE CONFESSIONAL WITH THE PRIEST! Louis you don’t even beleive! It’s giving “Ariana! What are you doing here!”

Did Lestat not think of the priest? Tsktsk didn’t even eliminate all sources of outlet! Should have burnt the church, house, brothers and had every townsman flee just to get a text back. For legal reasons I am joking…

Nvm, he barely got into the juicy bits before man’s was dragged out and is now being devoured. (Kinda hot. Didn’t even let Louis finish)

At this point, whenever Louis doesn’t breath is Lestat direction it’s PICK ME CHOOSE ME LOVE ME. He’s so obsessive *plays obsessed by Mariah Carey*

All I see is Lestat being so angry and hurt that Louis went to confess to a god he does not beleive in before he came to Lestat. Like damn. You’d rather come here then come to me ? “Do I mean that little to you-“ type of hurt. :( Aww babes, he’s just afraid cuz once he comes to you, it’s over. That’s the beginning of a life he doesn’t beleive he can have and he’s want all of you … can’t be gay and black in these parts (time + place) I fear

Please not the stabbing! 😭 babes pls you know this man isn’t a regular man, he drank from you and you decided to never speak to him again for a reason.

Pls not the slowmo! It looks so fucking cool! Even when he eats ppl it’s so agressive and looks so painfull! Love messy eater vampires.

“I’m not the devil- but I can give you death-“ Pls why has nobody offered me this ?? It’s not fair! “I love you Louis, you are loved.” Nawl I’m fenna cry. (And I am crying)

Envious that this is not my character arch, I am stuck consuming it rather then being CONSUMED! He wanted to create an infinity Between them. Remove death AND life from the equation!

That was the most beautiful asking ever. The way their just :’) This is such a tender, romantic, loving moment. That moment was … beautiful. I have no words! I too forgot the barbaric scene (lmao as did Louis ofc)

AND THEN CAME THE NOD! THE KISS AND THE BITE! The way he kissed him, alone, I could tell he released all fears and pain he had in this life. Fear of loving a man, of being who he was, pain of being at fault for things — for his role as a pimp, him as a son, a brother to his brother, a provider for his family. The one who promised his father strength without truly ever wanting it but doing it because he was good at it. He was hurting so much and Lestat just liberated him (too bad Louis doenst realize this too is a prison, but with a nice view, unhinged love of your life and a future daughter, have fun)

That was perfect. The description of the transformation — THE HAARTBEATS! Gosh I wanna be able to have senses heightened this much! ImGAINE!

I am SCREAMING it was so quick! I’m a whore for varsity in transformations! Some vampires die and require burials. Some are dead for much longer! EVERYYING! EVERYTHING

This was dead ass the best vampire tv show I’ve ever seen. They gave me black ass moments and I am living! TENDERNESS, POSSESSION! OBSESSION, trauma, laughter, depth! Script was INCREIDBLE! These are really good writers! What a team! And the actors? Give those two their fucking awards RIGHT NOW!

I cannot believe we’re witnessing the best vampire show unfold right before us.

Do you know of any articles/posts discussing the fact that the majority of shows with a diverse cast are primarily police dramas? Brooklyn 99, The Rookie, L.A.’s Finest etc.

Hmmmmm so on the one hand the television industry is a bit of a hellscape but honestly I would question this assertion like yes the correlation is frustrating but just because police shows often feature actors of color, doesn’t mean that most shows featuring POC are police shows. Like okay off the top of my head, here are a few:

Harlem on Prime

2. Run The Burbs

3. Quantum Leap

4. Abbott Elementary

5. Interview With The Vampire

Honorable mention to NBC’s Found starring Shanola Hampton, imo the show took a little bit to find it’s footing and it’s only not a police show on a technicality but the core cast has done a solid job in their first season and they got picked up for a second season, so I’ll recommend it on this list

Anyone reading this feel free to send in an ask to shout out your favorite show featuring a majority non-white cast and ideally not a police show, always happy to boost 📨

• mod dyr

p.s. for the folks who enjoy/prefer YouTube video essays, Skip Intro has put out a ton of work re copaganda in entertainment https://youtube.com/@SkipIntroYT

#show recs #@atopcat fwiw i def remember some commentary articles addressing copaganda = poc casts when b99 was ending #but idk if there’s comprehensive / broad view articles yet about the police show = diverse cast correlation #also there is something to be said for venturing outside the mainstream but also the mainstream has options #like those first two might be niche ish but i think ? quantum leap and abbott and iwtv are all pretty solidly mainstream #but yeah like i said. always happy to boost this audience’s recs for shows or movies (esp featuring majority poc given the blog topic lol)

Some Catholic commentary for Louis' dates (and name)

So I've recently got to rewatch IWTV again and wanted to dive into a whole bunch of meta posts, with my hope to eventually make a master post of everything to add to my pinned post, but essentially if you'd like to follow along to any, you can find these and a few previous ones (as well as a few reblog geek outs) under "Kats Catholic Commentary" on my blog ❤️

But let's dive right in, shall we?

Now, to add a quick disclaimer, who knows if these are just happenstance or were done intentionally, but my Catholic senses are tingling and allow me a moment to geek out as I try to connect some of these points to a full circle ~

October 4th - is the feast day of St. Francis, a date set by the Church way back in 1228, and at first I was going to make some tongue in cheek reference to the patron Saint of animals and Louis' diet of animal blood lol, but then -

I figured well, let's see if St. Louis' feast day is on the same day, because sometimes Catholic families like to give their kids the names of the Saint's feast day they're born. But nope, St. Louis' feast day is back in August, HOWEVER guess what???

St. Louis is co patron of the Franciscan tertiaries (yes, as in St. Francis) and the Archdiocese of New Orleans!!

I'm already geeking out, and then I look up October 18th, and it's St. Luke's feast day - the Evangelist and Gospel author of the Book of St. Luke - the disciple who traveled with Paul

Why yes, Paul, as in Louis' brother in the show - and part of me wonders if Grace knew the significance of the date she picked? Wanted to imagine her two brothers traveling together in the after life? If that was easier to imagine then her current reality?

So, again, maybe it's just all a random coincidence, but I think it's nice to imagine Louis' family applied some meaning to both his name, and the chosen "death" date to reflect their faith.

bruh

#sometimes i hurt myself by rereading absolutely random snippets of iwtv #i LOVE all of louis' commentary on their early relationship though!! #it's both heartbreaking and fucking HILARIOUS #louis is the king of shade i swear to god #'all i wanted was to know lestat and see this tenderness in him. too bad he's a BIG DUMB IDIOT LOSER.' #'a man of even a little thought' I'M FUCKING HOWLING #god i love him SO MUCH #*【 ❛What can the damned really have to say to the damned?❜ 】 ➤ Isms

[nereb-and-dungalef]

yeah i think i'm just gonna factor "waiting until the hype dies down" into all my media experiences. watched some of the iwtv tv show and i get to keep all my opinions in my head. it's great

#i'm processing it. there's a degree of processing that also has to go in before posting. by the way #but i'm gonna post my commentary in the tags in case someone wants to idk. block me for my takes or something #very funny like. ppl saying the show is bad. like. as a fan of the originals: did you think the originals were *good*??? #(amendment: i fucking love the books. i just don't think they're good) #the show made some cringe choices. the episode where claudia fucks was a Very cringe choice #however. louis owning slaves in the original was also cringe. so #i think the vampire chronicles are some fantastic raw material #there's some really awesome concepts going on in them #the musical interprets it very well imo even if the songs are shit #the show making louis interesting was good enough to forgive lestat character assassination #also okay. the line they gave lestat like. 'well if you only want to kill evil people how can You tell who is and isn't evil?' #is. justification enough for lestat character assassination. so #idk. i'm only like four eps in #the episode where claudia fucks reaaaally turned me off the show tho it. might take a bit to get back into it #but the first episode was a religious experience i stg #even if i'm tired of the dead crazy brother trope #cw iwtv tv show #anyway. like i said this is really just for you to block me about. if you try to start drama i will block. i don't even post abt iwtv

[jellybellyblimp]

I know everyone is losin there good damn minds over the end of the episode but are we just gonna gloss over the show runner saying Claudia’s SA “toughened her up” Because that was so rancid I had to turn the show off and dry heave.

#like to be clear I thought actual scene was handled well #but that commentary ain’t it #amc interview with the vampire #interview with the vampire #rolin jones #claudia de lioncourt #iwtv claudia #iwtv

[wolfkller]

"is this character an abuser?" ends up being a boring and ineffective question when having the Right™ answer becomes more important than coming to coherent conclusions with that information. like... so what? genuinely, where are you going with that?

is choosing that as a framework encouraging you to challenge your perspectives about the balance of rights and responsibilities in relationships, both interpersonal and societal? does it give you richer insight into the story? does it cause you to reflect on your own experiences in a new way? does it cause you to reflect on others in a new way? why is that question and its answer compelling to you in the context of this material?

i'm not even saying it's never an important question but i am saying that it's been discouraging that much of the conversation doesn't go anywhere

#tvc #amc iwtv #daniel as audience meta commentary is superb! #wish more people were paying closer attention to the dynamic and dialouge happening in the current timeline

[yvtro]

it's so evident that rice she was one of these westerners absolutely enamoured with dostoevsky, and you don't even have to look at how she incorporated her take on "grand inquisitor" into one of the books to notice it. she took so much from him in terms of the literary tradition and themes such as endurance, she crafts her characters in a way that is so strikingly similar, she has this weird obsession with religion that makes some of her novels absolutely unbearable. her style is so similar to certain translations of his novels, you just can't tell me he wasn't her main inspiration. but i think it's really important to get that she also inherited his narrow and imperialist influenced view on the rest of eastern europe, and that she took everything he said about russia at face value.

#i was rereading brothers karamazov recently after skimming through tva and it just hit me #she must have been obsessed with him and it's evident even before you see that she name dropped him in some interviews #anyway one thing about me is that dostoevsky is my guilty pleasure #there's so much absolute bullshit in his novels and he's so overhyped in the west #his social commentary is just so superficial and perpetual #his narration is HORRID #but his characters and the way they interact with each other #they are so alive and earnest #so full of love #even at their worst! they are enduring #and rice does the same thing #vc #vampire chronicles #the vampire chronicles #iwtv #interview with the vampire

[tyrannuspitch]

can't stop saying claudia's name in lestat's voice for some reason.

[audibly smirking]

Claudia.....

Commentary on Interview With The Vampire - Episode 4 (Spoilers)

Now why did I think that was a cotton tree. Does Cotten even grow on trees? Okay

Omfg diaries! CLAUDIA MA CHÈRIE!

Black Angel :) he is beautiful! Pls, I love this!

From a young person perspective, I’m with Lestat. Imagine being a child forever? I’d loose my mind. @ vampires pls don’t turn me till I’m a crisp 35 pls and thank you.

“I dont know” I know this pisssed Lestat off. Like why you bring her here WITHOUT ANY PLANS? But also? Same Louis, same.

And ofc begging will help because Lestat would literally do anything to make his man’s happy, king.

Louis trusting Lestat and not saying anything as he nearly drained her —- iktr

Pls not a street cat, I love her.

“If you want it to be” Louis where will she go if it’s not pls he’s so nice, giving options and not tryna scare her. Lestat would have said yes ofc, and if you need anything else, tell me because I’m very rich.

“That make him the dumb one” not me weezing, child pls. And all while Lestat in the dark.

I love this tho, them communicating like this and watch Lestat be jealous as he should.

“What’s he saying” he’s so irritated! This is the reality Edward Cullen thinks he wants but trust, he doenst. Nobody does.

Relying on Louis words alone would make me anxious cuz it’s not like they understand eachother most of the time. And now miss C has access ? Yeah hang in their Lestat.

Not him calling her his lil Milkweed — IM SCREAMING

“Family secrets” awwwww. And Lestat got so happy! I’m so exited.

Uncle Les and Daddy Lou are the cutest nicknames!

I love how she plays in the light! She’s such a kid Argh same.

Yes Daddy Lou is cute but Lil waif? Lmao not him calling her a fucking abandoned neglected poor orphan to her face 😭names go hard tho tho — they should drop a track

‘The book is her friend’ not Louis translating to Lestat who still don’t get it. She talks to books cuz she her daddy’s daughter hello? What’s not clicking.

And they squished in the coffin like sardines! MAMA,WE TRAPPED INNA THIS BOMBOOOOOOOO! WE CANNOT ESCAPE WE CANNOT GET OUT! WE TRAPPED LOKE A PACK OF SARDINES

NOT Lestat tryna threaten her and she unbothered, PEIROD. Nobody cares if your tiers uncle Les, answer the question 🔫

Pls not her testing the coffin, same.

Hahahahahahah not his feet in her face, baby was traumatized!

Not catching them get it on, ‘you miss me’ 🤓 yes pookie, hahaha I loved that

Glad Claudia realizes the hypocrisy, but don’t question him too much 😭 glad Louis set her straight cuz he’s been yelled at now a lil too much.

Pls not him explaining queerness, purr. She’s so freaking cute! Perfect casting!

Pls Claudia looks disgusted THAT FISH LOOKS NASTY INDEED. He’s tryna convert her and she’s still frowning, lmaoo. I lowkey don’t like this cuz he’s confusing her because he’s so tightly connected to his humanity still vs her adjusting so well already.

Pls not the call for prayer, mashallah. i could go on a 7 day rant about vampires and Muslims, and how Christian’s should step aside cuz their religion does not have the full facilities to hold such supernatural creatures to begin with! PURR

Claudia was out here on some author shit. Wrote all down like her life depended on it.

Her room is so nice. Lmao not her throwing stuff at him I’m screaming!

I’m glad she explains how time flies, cuz some ppl think eternal immortality is = boredom. YOU FOOLS!

Aww she truly is a child! Gets between her dads when they fight? Many of us are having war flashbacks, I bet.

Pls not his sister thinking Lestat pays for it all.. he does but Louis pays him back :/ put some respect on his name. And the threat. Pls! Their like a lil family of killers.

NOT THE SMELL! She was stood up there like that picture of blue Ivy

Lestat pls be Fr! cuz he acts however he wants and doenst care, and that’s why her behavior was fine lmaoo

Uncle Les and you are Evil Twins lmao, iconic evil twins.

Not him having the most convekyrrd complicated sex talk 😭 even i was slime huh? So he’s teaching her how to drive and what love and sex is? Iconic.

If someone called me belladonna I’d scream, that’s my fav nickname for her — why is he comparing her to drugs like this? Sir? 😭

Pls not them hunting together how Louis said he hated. Louis did tell her she hated it for a reason and I see why, but I see why Lestat loves it. Creepy, weird, enticing snd perverse.

Lmao not her just jumping him, I love this scene. “She’s with me” purr.

She’s realizing! I love it! But realizing too hard cuz now you playing grown.

‘Jumped a girl’ LMAO period, Lestat is so proud of her and Louis is terrified 😭I’m both 🫶🏾 Except that outfit is giving elderly, she truly is lestat’s daughter.

Pls, not darkie, I’m triggered y’all. 💀 NOT DARKIE. Almost had her commit homicide.

Omg he kinda looks like Louis’ brother :) omg.

Oh my gosh, she’s like a fanfic writer her thoughts hve be giggling.

She reads so fast she doenst even look down, me when? All so she could go see her man’s do his rounds!

THE FLOWERS! PLS! Not the blocking! ‘This is your father speaking’ LOUIS GET OUT OF HER HEAD! Can a girl get some privecy in here ?

Omg she’s matured so much! WAIT! I need a timeline cuz she said 19, is she lying or has 2. Years passed? If so, it took her almost 2 years to complete one diary? That seems fake.

Pls not the horse 😭 she’s finally getting what she wanted. But now I’m scared. ‘Your an Angel’ leave that man’s neck alone baby girl, cuz it cannot end good! YOUR KILLING HIM! CLAU! CLAU! NOOOOO! The horse fighting for its life in the back cuz she killed him!

I love her and I’m so sorry baby girl but not taking him home knowing your uncle is Lestat…. He’s gonna hurt your feelings Fr

‘He’s dead’ thump — I AN SCREAMING.

Louis: Lestat :/ — translation: be empathetic pls

Lestat: :) what? :)? — Translation: I keep telling y’all we vampires but everybody in this fucking house wants to mess around and be entangled with humans so this why y’all get, bodies bodies bodies..

‘Clean up after yoursel’ AND IM SCREAMING AGAIN. Y’all don’t understand this is him when he’s angry. When he’s yelling and shit? That’s him hurt and frustrated. Smiling and smooth and snip? Yeah y’all have him pissed.

Talk about taking actions for your responsibility. Lestat would be a ‘let it cry itself to sleep’ type of parent. He has to teach her tho or she’s gonna be miserable. And I love how harsh he is with her cuz this is exactly how Louis would have had to face the music if Lestat wasn’t so in love and so afraid of loosing him that he forced gentleness and patience out. Lestat fed up tho, he cannot have a Louis 2.0 situation, Mans 159, he’s tired.

“I don’t want you” 🤨 Louis, quickly, who does this remind you of? Option 1. You? Option 2. toi?

Not Anne Frank and Stephen king, Daniel…. 😀

‘I had two and their—’ lmaooo Daniel finish the sentence 💀

They have a lot of dark eras of their lives, ngl.

‘Bandaid for a shitty marriage’ DANIEL😭 this man must be an earth sign cuz what’s this brutality. Taurus maybe ? Or a

Coffin scene smacked. Omg the flavors! Me at 3am having yet another mental breakdown nBUT WORST. She’s realizing everything and it’s rushing thru her, poor baby about to end it. Pls and the nock on wood, CLAUDIA

LESTAT! LOUIS! GET HER! Their truly parents to an emo child cuz she basically cutting and venting to paper and I cannot beleive that’s how it ends :/ GIVE ME MORE DAMN IT!

I hope you guys are watching the creator comments after the ep that sort of thing can go either way but he’s always so good and shares things I love to hear

#his Claudia commentary really went off #iwtv

Do you wonder if after the Mardi Gras murder, as Louis and Claudia stepped onto the boat and sailed away into Ash Wednesday - . . . If Louis reflected on that? Did he feel as despondent as ever, and wish he could run to the church that was burned and collect the ashes and make the sign of the cross on his forehead? To enter the forty spiritual days of Lent seeking repentance and absolution - recoiling internally until he could face every dark thing inside of himself keeping him from God? Did he view Lestat as Jesus, himself as Judas, and betray him with a kiss? Did he view it the other way around, bracing for facing the Devil in the desert of his soul?

Was it raining Louis?

#I had just reblogged a post about Mardi Gras and IWTV and of course don't mean to derail from that - #but as I was rambling in the tags I realized I wanted to put this in a post in and of itself too #WAS IT RAINING LOUIS #louis de pointe du lac #iwtv meta #s2 thoughts??? #kats catholic commentary #look I'm stepping into Ash Wednesday tomorrow and I'm having ✨️ feelings ✨️ #tw religious themes #iwtv #interview with the vampire #amc iwtv #iwtv series

Also though I think via last post, emotional silly liveblogging is kind of expected anyway. Nice pretty well weighed meta is impressive but it's not liveblogged in the moment usually. (Also people liveblog being angry at a scene in the moment Because it's meant to make u angry, even as in the long term they appreciate it for making them angry and making a brilliant thematic point - like Bai Lin being so awful and abusive and violating I coukdnt stop screaming seeing him, an excellent subversion of the usual xianxia romantic lead turning it into the villain. Or people love waxing poetic on a ship when it's overall a very small part of their appreciation of the material, like me with pingxie I do care about it but it's a very small part of my enjoyment of dmbj, or even weilan while written to hit very specific things I enjoy I actually love the mutants as metaphors and commentary on society Guardian does and that alone would have made it one of my favorite shows so Zhao yunlan being bi like me and a romantic relationship hitting as much I enjoy as theirs and as close as spirk like theirs is just extra wonderful but not the only thing I care about by far, etc. Liveblogging just tends to skew emotional reaction and quick fun tidbits one notices - or painful ones lol). At least that's what I assume is sometimes the case...

#rant #also fyi i love when mutuals liveblog. bothing makes me intrigued by a show #like incomprehensible but interestjng commentary on something ive got no context for but sounds Intriguing #all the cang lan jue liveblogging prepared me zero percent for how GREAT #it is as a xianxia doing things nuanced and not traditional and doing them exceptionally well #jnstead the liveblogging was very surface level demon king and fairy tropes. but it got me to check it out so im very happy it did!! #gay vampires being messy is gonna get people into iwtv #and i do enjoy that part. but i think the meat of iwtv #is more louis grand view of morality and good and evil and guilt and himself ans his loved ones and furure and past #which i relate to greatly. and its interaxtion with and contrast to lestats broken relationship with belief in other things #to lestats impulsive here and now and good is what we want and outside of that morality is unimportant #and claudia as a character study all her own is intricate and emotionally a lot #thats the real draw. but if gay fucked up vampires is an intro. it def would get me to chexk it out. u know what i mean

It's a shame no one kisses me, really. My bubble fruit toothpaste makes my lips taste gooooooooooooooddddddd.

#I've made this exact same post before. With the exact same commentary I'm about to have. #That chick in the IWTV movie who is like 'My lips taste even sweeter still.' confuses me. But if sweet tasting lips are the goal- #-then babey I'm the winner. #I don't know. I don't get it. Like what did you do? Why are sweet lips your pick up line? #If these tags tell you anything it's that I'M the one not kissing anybody and not the other way around. Yuck. #BUT IF I WANTED TO KISS ANYBODY I think I'd win the competition with my toothpaste covered lippy lips. #This is an unnecessary post.

Woke up in the middle of the night from a dream in which Lestat requires daily feedings from Louis.

Watched a smug episode where Lestat suffered from a sort of inarticulate codependency bad writing. It's a bad episode not necessarily because it's ooc (but also somewhat that; the rendering of Lestat as a conventional villain is inexcusable) or that it handwaved the events of episode 5 (which it still sorta did), but because it made them trite and the amount of ...background..shots. It's a "mood" episode. Episode was barely *endurable* punctuated by fan-theory Rashid-as-vampire to be made true.

So, time for revenge. Might brighten things up. The actors are better than the script. But how weird is it that Louis has a character-development storyline but somehow Lestat is a standard "niceness to protagonist is a just a pretense" villain? Unreliable narrator theory shot down I suppose, probably for the better.

I will *not* be waking up at 4am suddenly to watch episode 7.

#loustat #what endgame #this is just a trite abusive relationship atm #louis lestat iwtv amc #i still think this show tried to do too much social commentary #without going into the existentialism crisis #spoilers
