#its interview with the vampire... again

[librarygf]

thinking about iwtv like damn it's really that good. it's an adaptation about adaptation, a story about story and memory and lies, an interview about another interview which reveals how entrenched we are in our own perspective and how we deceive ourselves and others and how much we convey anyway without meaning to. it's a vampire story about vampire stories, oscillating between the other as a villainous soul-sucker or as someone defined and tortured by their outsider status. it engages with its own history and predecessors and cultural context with every choice it makes. oh and also it fucks

#interview with the vampire #its october now so im here again lets goooo #its an adaptation and a story and an interview at the same time it's all about recollection and narrative #and its the sexiest thing thats ever happened to me #m

I will think on those moments every night for as long as I go on, and of the chasm that opened under me, the plunge into mortal death that was nearly mine. Claudia gave me that.

“'You care about nothing…' he was saying. And then he sat up slowly and turned to me so again I could see that dark fire in his eyes. 'I thought you would at least care about that. I thought you would feel the old passion, the old anger if you were to see him again. I thought something would quicken and come alive in you if you saw [Lestat]… if you returned to [New Orleans].' 'That I would come back to life?' I said softly. And I felt the cold metallic hardness of my words as I spoke, the modulation, the control. It was as if I were cold all over, made of metal, and he were fragile suddenly; fragile, as he had been, actually, for a long time.“

Jesus Christ I just realized my two tiny sources of serotonin right now are Candela Obscura and Lisa Frankenstein. What untold horny horror-romance will this wring out of me just enough to write 2/3 of a book all my friends will adore and tell me they can’t wait to read more until my self destruct button kicks in and I can’t write any more of it ever?

#extremely specific #my adhd #funny how every few years cosmic horror or gothic horror gets its claws in me once again #i blame reading interview with the vampire at age 14 #also literally any werewolf thing I could get my hands on pre True Blood/Twilight #honorable mention to Penny Dreadful #candela obscura #lisa frankenstein

been slowly making my thru the vc books and i can say now, with certainty that the show is in fact superior in almost every conceivable way. i think nostalgia was clouding my judgment but apart from iwtv and tvl and maaaybe qotd....these books are fucking ridiculous

#yaz reads #yaz has thoughts #interview with the vampire #not to be mean but as a body of work they have zero structural integrity #each book is a long meandering mess of the most outlandish plot and the most contrived workaround established canon to suit her whims #she hates women. like deeply. #there's a disconnect between the character she thinks shes writing versus what ends up on the page re david talbot #the interpersonal relationships bar a few like lestat and louis and lestat and gabrielle and nicky are laughable #coz they never stay consistent. its like she's afraid of anyone actually hating lestat #even armands hate is blunted coz he's in love with him #plot points and character arcs are dropped entirely between books for no discernable reason #look i maintain book 1 and 2 are modern masterpieces esp book 1 #and book 3 is a fun romp #but the rest are wow some have nuggets of brilliance but are swallowed up the sheer absurdity of her plots .and i can do the absurd #i love the absurd but she treats it with such solemnity that it gets me out of the story again and again #there's obvs a huge following for the series as a whole and kudos to you who stuck by her but what was she on #when the plot is weak i can focus on the intra character drama and the characters are stale i can focus on the plot #when both are done abmysally!? #rolins and co had a great task ahead of them and i think they elevated the material #so good on them #and note this isnt me bashing her for her dark themes and subject matters i can handle all that and then some #vc is quite tame insofar as being dark for a gothic series #its everything else

[zombie-bait]

not me getting a lil teary eyed after reading Devil’s Minion and thinking about Armand, fellas I think this is what they call 🙏 mental illness 🙏

#Im doing very •—• rn #Why did Anne make him so fucked up #He’s just a pile of tragedies and trauma #My favourite fucked up problematic son #I dont have time for this #I have so many assignments #iwtv #interview with the vampire #vampire chronicles #iwtv armand #the vampire armand #queen of the damned #anne rice #Guys i think im gonna write an essay about him #Its gonna be long as fuck #But im determined #and once again mentally ill

People really don't seem to get that regardless of whatever feelings they have about Daniel, he's in Dubai because of Louis. Think of him however you like but he said it plainly, "hire a transcriber. I don't do puff portraiture anymore". Louis had the complete option of simply not contacting him, simply letting Daniel die in his own oblivion and irrelevance that even Daniel himself points out.

"Legacy? That's for board members and assholes in loafers". Armand doesn't seem to want Daniel in Dubai either because of what Louis may want Daniel to do (publish a book, risk other vampires to come after him). So for all the questioning and sarcasm Daniel throws at Louis, he's still an old man in his 70s with a developing disability, locked in a penthouse apartment with no way out with two old vampires who are more than capable of tearing him to shreds. That's his choice but it's also Louis' choice to even have him there. If Louis didn't want the sarcasm, the bitterness, the relentless questioning and invalidation of his (blatantly constructed) narrative, he wouldn't have taken to asking Daniel to interview him again. If this was solely about Armand, Louis' life story has absolutely zero to do with whatever went down with Armand and Daniel. Louis has followed Daniel's work, has read his autobiography. He knows Daniel's work even has a motif of unreliable memory that becomes obscured with time (or another vampire's mind-bending ability). Again, Daniel is in Dubai because of Louis. No one is demanding he continue an interview with an old mortal man whom he could just as easily kill with no one questioning anyone else about it afterwards. Daniel is of no importance to even his own family now, yet Louis still wants their interview to continue. Frankly for all of Daniel's dismissive comments, Louis has had every opportunity and chance to kill him already or shut him up, have his mind wiped and send him home. The fact that he doesn't is more glaring than anything else.

#interview with the vampire #louis de pointe du lac #daniel malloy #honestly I feel like the way some people refer to Louis in this fandom makes it sound like Louis isn't and wasn't a grown man in his 30s #when he got turned #'Louis is feminine!' Louis pimped out WOMEN when he was still human #and continued to do so even as a vampire #Louis is an adult man who's made some extremely awful choices and is now obviously trying to face that in some way #that's why Daniel is even here in the first place #like I'm sorry but if Louis didnt want the cold biting comments he should've killed Daniel by this point #and gotten a well-meaning therapist who gets paid 1000 per hour to deal with a vampire...... #the fact that Daniel is even here has nothing to do with the omnipresence of writers and everything to do with Louis wanting him to #do the interview with him again #think of Daniel however you like but the reason he's even here now is because of Louis #Louis WANTS him to listen to his story while deliberately knowing Daniel has a history with him and last time they did this #Louis killed Daniel in anger.......if Louis wanted to finish the job again you wouldn't have Armand interfering when its clear he lets #Louis do whatever he likes despite Armand not agreeing #and before anyone jumps to conclusions I dont think Daniel was right to ask for specifications re: Claudia's rape #but then again I think that entire subplot was handled abysmally and looks just like the white female writer going #'hmm I need to traumatize the black girl in order for her to come back into a codependent relationship with Louis......' #'let's have her raped and then taunted for said rape at least twice over'
