Hello Void!

I posted my thoughts on the 5th episode of Interview with a Vampire to my YouTube!

I’m trying to keep the videos around the 15 minute marker.

Talking points include:

Claudia’s resentment for humanity

Louis despair of Claudia’s absence

Troubled marriage between Louis & Lestat

The Fight

CAUTION: I misspoke and called Mr. Anderson, Mr. Alderman. Oops…

Thank you!

I’ll be leaving a link to my video down below so, please give it a watch and tell me your thoughts!

Hello internet void!

I posted my thoughts on AMCs Interview with a Vampire to my YouTube channel! Season 1 Episode 4: Pursuit of Blood with all a Child’s Demanding!

It took a little while longer due to me learning more about photoshop and A LOT of editing. I’m a blabber mouth and originally put too much into my scrip making the video unacceptably long.

It would have been twice as long if I didn’t cut a lot of my thoughts lol

I’m pretty happy with the outcome and I’m hoping it keeps the audience attention more than my previous videos.

In this episode I utilize the graphic novel. Some of my topic points include:

Claudia’s Transition

The relationship she has with both Lestat and Louis

Her struggles with coming into womanhood

And Charlie

Please go ahead and give that video a watch and get back to me with your thoughts! As always, I appreciate honesty and good old fashioned constructive criticism. Be kinda nice please (:

Thank you in advance!

Hello Internet Void!

So, I am working on Episode 4 of AMC Interview with a Vampire The Ruthless Pursuit of Blood with a Childs' Demanding.

I'll be discussing Claudia's Journals, her transition into vampirism, her relationship with Louis & Lestat, her struggles with never aging and her resentment building within her own body.

But!

I am playing around with Photoshop and Thumbnails. In your Opinion (Please be super honest and criticism is encouraged) which one of these thumbnails would you be more inclined to click on? The one with a title (The Making of Claudia vote 1) or with out a title (only Which one of you Did it vote 2). Or neither one?

Please, leave a comment and let me know which one is more enticing or if either one of them is too much (too many visuals) or too boring.

I am super excited to hear your thoughts on this!

Thank you!

Lestat is my favorite character.

Preface: I am not excusing what he did to Louis. It was 100% abusive and his attempt to love bomb him with gifts was wrong.

Moving on.

If any of you have been in an abusive relationship

(hopefully you haven’t, I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy)

Lestat snapping after giving his love and devotion to Louis to only be met with detachment and silence is hurtful and abusive itself. It’s a level of stonewalling and exhausts all effort from the other partner.

Seeing Lestats side of the fight from season 1 episode 6 in season 2 episode 6. I can resonate with Lestat.

Unfortunately I’ve been in a similar situation to Lestat with my own version of Louis.

I put so much into that relationship, I was the shoulder to cry on, the one to ease emotions and build them up just for them to pick something/someone else and throw the blame onto me.

Blaming me for not doing enough, when they shut all of my attempts down… years of trying, years of taking the silence and passive aggression… years of taking the snide remarks. Years of dropping everything for them because I wanted nothing more for them to get better and being patient with their inner turmoil hoping they see the light. Staying committed to them.

I’ve taken the verbal abuse of being told I was nothing, they took pleasuring in hitting me, spitting on me, saying the most vile things to me… me having to hold back, not wanting to stoop to their level.

It became too much. They beat me down with their words and their hands when all I ever wanted to do was love them and be loved in return. To see the joy they had destroying me… then I snapped….

Im not proud of it. Im not defending it.

But, I do… deeply… understand it. I understand Lestat.

To be abandoned and ridiculed your entire life and wanting to be loved. Wanting to love, only for it to be thrown in your face.

I love all of the characters in IWTV because they show the complexity of being a beast (human).

Lestat was and is the only one who is honest up front when it comes to their mistakes…

I respect Lestat for admitting when he’s wrong, I respect him more for not broadcasting his good deeds because, that’s when it becomes superficial.

It’s a hot take, I know. I’m a deep defender of the complexity of Lestat in the book and in the show. He doesn’t lie, and when he loves, he loves deeply.

Thanks for reading.

Here is Season One Episode Two - Phantoms of Your Former Self!

I discuss Louis First Night as a Vampire

Louis and Leatats attachment to humanity (Lestats father in the book and how it relates to his love for music in the show . Louis sister in the show and his family in the book)

Louis first Kill - Tractor Man and The Overseer

And the conceptual twist of Louis race interacting with Mr. Carlo and how this change in the show could possibly play homage to the slaves in the book.

Check it out if you’d like! I know it’s long! If you have any criticism or advice on anything please do not hesitate to tell me! I love hearing your thoughts! (:

I also included some throw backs to the 94’ film!

Thank you in advance to anyone who watches/listens to it!

A millions billion times thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Till Next Time! <3

Hello Internet Void,

I took a pause on Episode Four - The Making of Claudia.

I’ve spent this week re-editing Episode 2 because, as mentioned, I did not like it. At all. I didn’t re-record my audio but I did revamp some of the editing. With an honest recommendation I received…

I took it to heart. I’m am very thankful for the honesty and constructive criticism (we never get better if we are surrounded by yes men) so thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Your honesty is worth its weight in gold and I’m eternally grateful that you took the time out of your day to watch the video and get back to me with honesty. I’m eternally thankful for that.

I’m still new and improving and with that I’m excited to continue expanding.

I removed the old video, re-edited it and am reloading it at 11am 17th of September.

Yes views matter but I value quality over monetary. My main goal is to share my thoughts on something I love and hope that someone or anyone can connect to it in similar ways that I have.

Again, thank you from the depths of my soul for giving me a chance, taking time out of your day and giving honest feedback.

Till next time!

Out into the internet void!

First off, thank you to anyone and everyone who watched my video! It means so much to me 🥹 you guys have no idea!

I’m working on Season One Episode Four “The Making of Claudia”

I’m practicing with photoshop because I absolutely love the graphic novel that was published in 2012.

The art is incredibly done by Ashley Marie Witter and I can’t help myself to not include her artistry!

I’m going to post a few photos in the next few days and I’d love to get your opinion for which is more appealing for a thumbnail.

I appreciate all of you who have been supportive!

Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!

Here is my third episode Is My Nature that of the Devil season 1 episode 3…. I feel pretty proud of.

I just want to share it and see if anyone would be interested in it or could give some constructive criticism (:

[chaibunbao]

So I went out in a limb and posted my first YouTube video.

I’m going to go out and try and show my work to those who might enjoy it.

I’ve always been obsessed with Interview with a Vampire by Anne Rice and decided to break down the book to screen adaptation. I used examples from the book to see if the show keeps true to the characters.

I don’t have any other social media but I really wanted to share my work.

If any of you do decide to watch it, of course you don’t have too but if you do… please tell me what you think. I’m open to criticism and improving. I know it’s the internet and maybe I’m throwing rocks down a dark tunnel but please be kinda nice but I appreciate honesty above all else.

Thank you internet void. (:

I use to write stories all the time and have an active imagination… my life took eventful turns which kept me away from escaping this world and creating another. I’d like to dive back in.

I’ve been held back by my own fears and self doubt. Now, at this point, I’d like to try again. Even if my work starts off rusty and blatantly not good, at least I can say I’m trying.

Even if no one follows along nor do they ever see this, I know in my heart at least I tried.

Thank you in advance and looking forward to sharing and creating. Cheers to reigniting passions!
