me prior to watching iwtv amc: i don’t know, i just don’t like that they had to recast claudia, i mean, she’s a BIG character and it seems like it would be difficult to just replace her with a new actor, im so big on consistency, i don’t think it’s going to work for me :/

me after watching iwtv amc:

louis still hallucinating dreamstat is just an INSANELY good twist because we're lulled to believe that Dubai is objective. we're supposed to believe that what happens in that penthouse, between the grey slab walls and louis' neutralised accent, is the truth and the whole truth, that the lies and recollections and shifting points of views is about the inherent fallibility of memory, how we try to contextualise and justify grief, how we make stories out of what we can't make sense of. but the end of the story never came, louis might be giving us a "previously on" of his tragedy, but he's still inside of the tragedy.

The unreliable narrator show is so good it tricked us with the goddamn framing device.

[davestriderwithabowtie]

listen I know it's heartbreaking that Claudia dies and it's understandable to wish she didn't, but let's please not accuse the writers of fridging her. to do so is a fundamental misunderstanding of the story and is frankly insulting to the intelligence and skill of the writers of the show.

Claudia's death, and the overwhelming grief and regret her parents experience because of it, is quite literally the point of the entire story. she dies because Anne's daughter Michele died of leukemia when she was five years old and there was nothing she or her husband could do to prevent it.

writing IWTV was how Anne coped with the unimaginable loss of a parent losing her child. she created a story about a little girl that could not die and then killed her anyway. Claudia's death is a senseless, unavoidable tragedy, just like Michele's was. the grief that haunts Louis and Lestat for the rest of their lives is the same grief that haunted Anne and her husband.

so when you're accusing people of killing Claudia off to benefit a story about two men, please remember that in real life sometimes parents lose their children. please remember Michele Rice.

she's the reason Claudia exists.

she's also the reason Claudia cannot be saved.
