I can't stop thinking how it would be like if Lestat had his interview with Daniel instead of Louis:

"He was the most beautiful man I've ever seen. He also hated himself, which always helps."

"And then he accused me of killing his brother. As if I didn't wait respectful three days after his death to ask Louis back to my bed."

"His mother was hateful. I could smell it. Great fashion sense though. Dark green was in season at the time."

"I turned him in a church. It was...Oh Daniel, the English language fails to capture the picture. Mainly because it's a garbage language."

"He was really freaking out about the baby, like they can't make a new one."

"And then he went into the woods with him. Like a common prostitute."

"So, Daniel, wanna fuck?"

"Naturally Claudia was an ungratefull little brat, who would be nothing without me. But she at least hunted people, which was more than what Louis was doing. Do you have any idea how humiliating it is to live with a vampire who hunts vermin? Like a glorified house cat. Which he also ate. I was disgusted and yet I never judged him for it."

"I record one duet and suddenly I am cheating. I mean I was and he did catch me in bed with her, but he was such an over-reacter Daniel I am telling you."

"She didn't want to finish THE GAME?!!! Who does that?!! What kind of self-absorbed, inffuriating- NO I WILL NOT CALM DOWN!!!! *French cursing*"

"So, I turned her into a vampire. In retrospect it was a waste of time and blood. She lasted like two months. And ugh, the attitude."

"Louis cried, he still loved me I could see it. I could feel it. Claudia just used me as an ink bottle. I had to respect the commitment. Follow through was something Louis always strugled with."

"No, but seriously Daniel, I think we should fuck."

"And he put me in a light oak coffin that opened from the inside. After I specifically requested Rosewood. I know it was Claudia's doing."

"In the end *dramatic pause* I ate the rats. When I was younger I thought I would rather have been dead than to stoop so low, but here we were."

"I miss him Daniel, he was the reason I wanted to survive. Claudia hopefully perished in Central Europe somewhere. With her mismatched skirts."

"I won't turn you, but I can give you a night you won't forget until the end of you pathetic little human existance. You can top I don't care."

I can’t believe I hadn’t heard of Goncharov (1973) before!!!! I watched it last night and was blown away. Truly ahead of its time.

Goncharov Lore Thus Far, based on the top tumblr post results

Main cast are Goncharov himself, his wife Katya (née Michailov), and Andrey 

One side character is named Mario Ambrosini. He is described as a “sad boi” and is involved in gambling. 

Set in Naples and involving a drug ring/mafia. The plot seems to involve Russian organized crime attempting to get a foothold in Italy. 

There is a Boat Scene. Katya survives via resourcefulness. 

Andrey and Goncharov have a substantial amount of homoeroticism. Andrey also has an internet in Katya. This forms a true love triangle. 

At some point, Katya threatens to shoot Goncharov. This is framed as a Girlboss Moment. 

There is also a Beer Bottle Scene. 

Katya fakes her death.

i'm calling it now, they're going to have sam reid's lestat break the fourth wall in his own season. not even in the narrative model of talking with daniel, he's going to straight up address the audience. he's gonna look deeply into the camera with his beautiful blue eyes, smile with that fucking mouth of his, and beg the audience to love him. lestat is a first person omniscient character. he pauses multiple times in the books to tell the reader (directly!) about what he's wearing. he speaks directly to the reader about what is going on, asks the readers to please! please love him. i want sam reid's lestat to just full on reference real world shit. i want it like how they did in fucking blues clues man, i want to be totally under his spell. if lestat isn't looking directly at the camera, adressing the world, then is he really lestat?

I was talking with @everyonewasabird about Cosette’s situation towards the end of the book, and realized that,from Cosette’s POV:

-Marius told her he was going to need to miss seeing her for an evening; that meant two days. He refuses to tell her why, and he gives her Courfeyrac’s address. (4.8.6) He makes vague allusions to some men he knows, and gives her Courfeyrac’s name and address, because something might happen, one never knows” .   When he is convincing her of the need for him to leave for an evening, he tells her, in doing this , “ “Let us sacrifice one day in order to gain our whole lives, perhaps.”

-the day after Marius and Cosette skip their nightly meeting for the first time ever, the June Revolt happens. 

- the day after that, Jean Valjean is also gone , the whole day and until early the next morning. There is absolutely no way Cosette doesn’t know he’s gone. But she’s used to her dad disappearing for a day or two, she might not think too much about it….

- except Cosette learns after the revolt that Marius was severely wounded on the barricades.  She pretty much has to learn this from her father; no one else she knows even knows who Marius is!

- after Marius wakes up, everyone, including Cosette, reasonably now assumes him to be a srs bsns republican revolutionary. She also must learn that Courfeyrac, and all Marius’ other friends, have died in pursuit of that revolution.

-the only thing Valjean and Marius really talk about to any degree is politics. (5.5.7)

-Hugo notes several times that Marius and Valjean have an obvious air of two men with a secret between them. (5.5.7, 5.7.1). Cosette has gathered enough to believe the things they won’t talk to her about are political (5.7.1).

-Valjean does his best to convince Cosette that all his strange behavior after his confession, and even the condition of their meeting room, and the short time they meet, is his doing and according to his wishes entirely.  He won’t elaborate. He’s just. Meeting his daughter. In near-secret.  and refusing to meet her any other way.

Under a name Cosette doesn’t know. 

HMMMM.  

- What I’m saying is, it would be completely and entirely fair for Cosette to think that her (known revolutionary!!)  husband and her (always mysterious!) dad are involved in political conspiracy  that they are refusing to tell her about for reasons for all the usual reasons people might keep a political conspiracy secret.  It would even be very reasonable for her to conclude they met through the uprising. 

A household with Political Conspiracy happening would even fit in comfortably with Hugo’s own life experiences!–his mom and her lover had plotted against Napoleon, without him knowing. 

What does this change? I don’t know. Nothing, necessarily?  but Hugo doesn’t really consider Cosette’s  POV and interiority at all here, so I want to do it more, and that led me here, and now you too.
