How many takes do you think Sam Reid ruined by breaking down in tears at the thought of Lestat dying

absolutely no way Louis and Lestat didn’t fuck nasty sometime during the Mardi Gras party. did y’all see Louis in all white? in that gorgeous jacket and those incredibly flattering pants with his eyes lined and cheeks all rosy?? absolutely no way Lestat could resist him, no way. you just know that man had to get on his knees at some point during those last few hours and worship his beloved Louis one final time

Daniel is clearly exhausted. Give this man some decent sleep

And a boyfriend

watching Rashid take off his gloves and contacts in the back while Louis and Daniel talked was so so so cool

I still can't stop thinking about that stupid Armand reveal

No shade to the actor at all but he doesn't feel like Armand to me and I found him really interesting as the character Rashid.

I had thought that maybe he was one of Armand's followers/part of the Children of Darkness and that Armand was using him as a type of vessel

That maybe all the people in the apartment that wait over Louis were some kind of Armand hive-mind which I think would've been a much more interesting and frightening.

I really hope they recast him next season or separate his character from Rashid.

This is one of the issues I'm having with this showrunner. On one hand the changes are great and fresh and new but on the other hand I feel like he doesn't get the characters very well.

I think the cast of the trio are brilliant and have so much more to give but some of the directions they are given for the characters they play don't always hit. Especially with Claudia, who I love and I love the actress who plays her and I do feel like this portrayal of her is much more sympathetic and has much more depth than the 94 film but I feel like they stripped a lot of Claudia's personality to make her more likable. But truthfully she's not a likable character, she is all the things that Lestat describes her as but she is also intelligent, witty and loving. 📢🎤 Female characters can be all these things!

The way they were making so much noise about Louis and what would happen if you give a disenfranchised black man supernatural powers? Ermm WHAT DO YOU THINK WOULD HAPPEN IF YOU GIVE AN EVEN MORE DISENFRANCHISED BLACK GIRL SUPERNATURAL POWERS???!!!!

A girl who cannot grow old but also a girl who was never given a chance to girlhood at all when alive growing up in an extremely racist Jim crow south? A girl who was never really a girl but adultified straight out of the womb.

White Claudia will always be seen as weak, fragile and asexual because she is forever a little girl to which others project on to which makes her angry and bitter.

Black Claudia will always be seen as a threat despite also being trapped in the body of a little girl, never receiving protection or the benefit of a doubt and adding her vampiric nature to the equation makes her monstrous as a result.

They NEVER explore this apart from one scene in which these women make a comment about her on the street and that's it.

This makes me worried for future characters like Gabrielle, Marius and especially Akasha.

A lot of people are comparing IWTV to Hannibal but really it's more like Tru Blood 👀

I'm not confident with season 2 which honestly hurts because there was so so so much potential with this show and ep 1 was soooo good.

at the risk of sounding like playa hater of the year or (worse!) repeating myself. i think ep3 w/ louis telling lestat off about jackson square & the scenes with jonah&louis truly sold me on the whole color conscious casting. i think ive talked about or at least mentioned the real history of lynchings , how black charas r typically depicted in a horror & how louis killing the alderman was playing off both of those things there b4 so i wont repeat myself too much in regard to that lol. itll be abt jonah+ louis scene here. n ep1&2 was great of course & this is by no means disparaging that. but seeing how louis + jonah interacted truly was .. a lot for lil ol me. like i think that sold me on the colo consciousness of this show bc it truly did feel like these were black male characters, not black characters w/ white faces or pawns for white guilt overcorrecting . like these are characters. keith powell, a black man, directed this episode and it shows. there was a lot going on there w/ the body language, flirting, the use of vernacular, that all set a stage in a few minutes for a true sense of past intimacy these characters once shared and how this scene is both a hello & goodbye to that. one: giving louis a ‘past love’ with some of the same sentiment as lestat’s ‘past love’ with nicki was definitely profound. (bc babette was definitely not that. tho i do think how jonah&louis meet in europe later will be inspired by that?). even if it was a few affairs in the dark the show did a good job with the implications of jonah+louis being once past lovers+shared confidants in their sexuality/race. and drawing upon how modern louis viewed this: while the domestic front simmered on [vampire] diet and sanctioned infidelity, the western front started receiving american troops… and city ordinance 4118 [jim crow law] ensured uncle sam’s money went in ‘the right hands’. hes saying a lot in those few sentences. the historical situation of ww1, a transitory time in western history that these black men (& vampire) are situated in and how they choose to survive going forward. jonah going to europe to fight the war as an ‘escape’ from the repressive regime u live under to be ur ‘truer self’ v. past!louis rly believing his newly bestowed immortality & companion in such can give u some more time to hold onto what he has , even as the clock strikes twelve. anyways got off track here all is this to say i rly loved this scene btwn jonah+louis cuz they felt like real black men from the deep souf flirting w/ eachother in the dark and that along w/ what louis said abt jackson square in the beginning of this same episode sold me on the color conscious casting bit. like these people know how to write complex black characters & how they maneuver in a semi realistic setting for real.

[sweetblood]

making louis & lestat smokers (despite them being vampires who do not breathe) just so they could light each other's cigarettes at crucial moments was one of the THEE sexiest decisions iwtv made

SPOILERS

YALL IM OUT OKAY? I CANT WITH THESE MFS HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO SURVIVE UNTIL SEASON 2??? LESTAT A WHOLE BITCH, CONSPIRING WITH ANTOINETTE?? CLAUDIA ONE UPPED HIM AGAIN😌GO QUEEN CLAUDIA

full rant here ⬇️

Daniel was right about Louis purposefully not burning Lestat’s body, he did that shit with all intentions and hopes that Lestat might’ve survived.

Something I do wonder about, “Meet the vampire Armand. The love of my life.” UMMM so he don’t know Armand the one that orchestrated Claudia’s death…yikes rip Armand’s relationship😭😭😭 guess Armand/Rashid finna be out of a job when Louis finds out💀

The way Louis started panicking when Daniel said that he did what he did on purpose and that even after all these Louis was still lying to save face…yeah Louis got enough fucking money to go to therapy instead of paying Daniel to be his knockoff therapist. Why aren’t there vampire therapists??? They could make a whole fucking lot of money just off of Louis and Lestat alone never mind all the other hundreds of fucked up and traumatized vampires.

Also I now see why Daniel pointed out Louis taking out pages from before, because he wasn’t taking out those pages to be respectful towards Claudia(if he was even the one that took them out cause Rashmand actin kinda controlling😬) he took them out because HE didn’t want to remember them. Like he did with the pages that talked of them getting to Europe. Claudia had clearly wrote some mean shit about him and probably even worse stuff on the four other pages that got removed. He couldn’t accept reality THEN and still can’t accept it NOW. That little sanctuary area is for him when he’s having meltdowns and needs a calm place cause he’s still, after all these years, suffering.

And ngl but Rashmand turning out to be exactly who we thought he was kinda starts raising more red flags his way. Cause if he loves Louis as much as Louis apparently loves him then why won’t he let Louis experience emotions/memories like he wants to?? Him coming in at every moment when Louis starts getting overwhelmed creates this unhealthy codependency that will eventually(if it hasn’t already) cause Louis to feel like he can’t control himself without Rashmand. There are multiple times where he speaks for Louis or speaks over him, and then him trying to shut Daniel down when he was making Louis confront the truth of his actions/story…(wait and Daniel saying that Louis needs sessions of EMDR, what they put soldiers through after seeing one of their partners get killed…he’s not wrong cause the way Louis had reacted to Lestat’s “death”…)yeah so season 2 is gonna be A LOT.

iwtv ep 7 rewatch thoughts

Killing with extravagance is back in the De Lioncourt household. Lestat swirls blood in a glass chalice like a finely aged merlot. a meal provided to the family by Lestat’s very own slow drain exsanguination tap.

He’s making a very pointed statement/reminder to Louis here. In ep 6 he proposed the two-legged meals for all rule bc the structure of the household at the time made him feel inferior. it was framed at the time as a way to create a sense of familial unity and acceptance with Claudia voicing her own feelings about Louis superior approach adding legitimacy to the claim and need for change, but really it was for this—what we see in ep 7. It’s not that no one should be made to feel inferior amongst them, it’s that if anyone is superior between them its the provider of the household— the patriarch Lestat.

Ep 7 reveals the fine print of the proposed two-legged meal rule terms Lestat’s preferred flavor of extravagance and humiliation. The way he likes to do it. The way he enjoys it. Only now Louis will also be humiliated along with the victim. Just like forcing the tenor to sit through all the ways he displeased Lestat by not hitting the correct notes during an opera he loved, Lestat forces Louis to sit through all the ways he displeased him by choosing to retreat in books rather than fulfill his role as Lestat wife and immortal companion. He’s saying you think you’re learning from books when they are insufficient “relics before they even make it to the print shop.” He emphasizes the unspoken reminder of the real hierarchy. Lestat is the head of house. He is the provider of the meals, the keeper of knowledge and the rule maker, and he is the real protector of the household as well (Claudia is back in the coffin room under his supervision).

All this echos of:

“Well, I don't say that you have to enjoy it!!!”

“Embrace what you are!”

Only now don’t only just embrace the nature of their vampirism, but also of his companionship and marriage contract for Louis and for Claudia the nature of being Lestat’s fledgling and child, whether they like it or not. Lestat is truly Father.

All this and Claudia is scheeeming. She really is defiant youngest child avenger little sister. i live.

Deliciously, all this is paralleled with the scene showing Louis does eventually embrace the extravagance of bloodletting only to the his own preferred flavor of his moral code/lack there of. He consumes his blood in a glass bowl with a silver spoon, the meal being provided to him like fine dining at a 5 star restaurant. In his own extravagance it’s served to him by Rashmand, prepared by staff (a thread to his human experience at the du lac estate) and sourced by his very own blood farm (plantation parallel? i think so, but lmk). He’s not killing and outright humiliating victims, but he’s still exploiting and over-consuming and he has distanced himself from it enough that it does not challenge his defined moral code with all of its blindspots (similar to Florence at the table in ep 1 not paying mind to the business of Storyville but enjoying the spoils of it). He really is Mother.

going back to my roots

I can't wait for daniel hart to release another soundtrack album for IWTV and then i'll choose which one is my favorite and it will turn out to be used in the most devastating scene again

#it was an Experience you know #it went from #Vicious is my favorite track 😍 #to #Vicious is my favorite track 😭💔 🔪 #still would slide some money to Hart to release the ep 7 version #iwtv #interview with the vampire #moi.txt #Spotify

[memes-saved-me]

I think they've intentionally hidden a lot of the fight, not for the gore of violence but because its what Claudia didn't see and her bias towards Louis sees him as the pure victim of the fight. When they're in the bedroom Lestat tells Louis he doesn't want to fight like this and that he's restraining himself then it goes quiet. Louis talks to Claudia and says its all over but then it suddenly escalates and gets much worse. We didn't see/hear something on purpose and I think Louis will either keep that hidden or reveal it in episode 6.

Let us not forget they've been physically violent since the beginning. Louis stabs Lestat in the back three times in the church, Lestat throws him across the room. Louis throws Lestat against the wall in episode 2 before going outside. The fight was brutal but vampires are brutal. Lestat punched through a priest's head in episode 1, if a random human was in Louis' place no one would have flinched.

They do physically fight in the book and even in the movie, not to that level but still. That is the pov of a 14 year old vampire seeing her father get into a fight with a man she calls her uncle but hates. The narrative is biased just like the first book is and I love that. Hopefully we get Louis' thoughts in the next episode.

#I'm just rambling #iwtv #lestat de lioncourt #louis de pointe du lac #iwtv spoilers #iwtv 1x05 #loustat #I'm intrigued by the next episode #I think it'll end with Claudia deciding how she'll kill Lestat #or even end with his 'death' #the ep 7 will be them running to Europe after Lestat comes back to get Claudia
