ugh ok i just wanna get my thoughts out bc i literally feel like im about to explode.
one. no i didn’t read the book. no i didn’t watch the movie so idc about accuracy or retelling. i honestly don’t think those things are necessary to tell a good story. coming from a place of fandom and fanworks, some of the funnest adaptations are the ones that take a different route. like druck.
two. ima need them to break up. im struggling to grapple with how this relationship exists in a vampire context. like if they are spending eternity together does that mean that anything that can happen between them will happen? even if that includes love, abuse, marriage and separation. like how bad does bad have to get for them in order for us to actually classify it as bad. bc this is feeling pretty bad to me. but like a vampire fight where they know they’re both going to heal? is that still bad? i feel like yes.
three! louis stresses me out but we love an unreliable narrator so ONWARD. i feel so bad for him. i also feel like him being black adds so much interesting and fucked up nuance. i think that’s why it’s so jarring and fun to watch as a black person. like i keep thinking about claudia telling louis that they are lestat’s slaves????? he escaped one thinly veiled form of oppression to go into another one?!!! fuck man.... like he’s not just black he’s creole. his family owned a plantation. so he has this power that affords him many pleasures in life. he gets to hang around all those big time white guys and pretend he’s one of them. but at any moment if he steps out of line it can easily be taken away from him. as we saw the night of the riot. it was a reminder. a violent one. and now if we look at louis and lestat they are in love. like louis said “he has a way about him”. they live together and have a kid and dance and sing and.... but he has to pretend he’s the help when they go to the opera. even louis’ family calls him big daddy lestat or whatever the fuck. because louis is a pet. at any point he deigns to fall out of line. lestat comes back with a “i heard your hearts dancing” or a near death experience. and they too are violent reminders. “i’ve given you this position”. “i put you on this earth.” and both of these actions can be easily reversed.
so excited for the next episode tho! gen

Champagne?
I'm uncertain whether you're asking if I drink champagne or if you're inviting me for a drink, but sure.
I do consume alcohol on special occasions if that's what you're implying.

Reasons why I should write BBC Sherlock:
No Benedict Cumberbatch. Never again
Moriarty pov episode
We should have had Sherlock reveal himself as an addict just by stopping in the middle of an explanation to snort a line of coke. It's ten times funnier and can you imagine the look on Watsons face
I would have treated Irene better. Let her be a proper lesbian, don't let her thirst over Holmes of all people
This is not to say lesbians can't like men, just. Not Holmes. Not in a million years. Also SHE dupes HIM, not the other way around. Reread the books, Moffat 🙄
Also button your shirt properly you dumb slut
Moriarty does come back but like properly this time
Not replacing Scott as Moriarty. He served tbh
Mary is written as a human person
Watson does not cheat on her. He would not fucking do that
Don't know if I can fix Abominable Bride tbh. Flawless episode in my humble opinion
Instead of jumpscaring Watsons date, Sherlock reveals he's alive just by showing up at the apartment at midnight like in the book
The missing Holmes sibling is a proper plot point and not a last minute twist
Hear me out,
The missing Holmes sister is Moriartys right hand man Sebastian Moran
But the Holmes Brothers never suspect
Because Moran is transmasc and they only remember having a sister.
