I fucking LOVE that Donna is not immune to being a little starry-eyed over The Doctor in the way that many of us get a little starry-eyed over our best friends but she IS immune to being that way in front of them lmao. Double love that this appears to also be Catherine Tate and David Tennant's dynamic
#catherine in solo interviews: davids a phenomenal actor and genuinely one of the best people ive ever worked with and a dear friend#catherine when shes with david: oh my god. this fucking guy again#donna talking to wilf: hes absolutely brilliant and honestly a little magical and i miss him a lot i think we should be at each other sides#donna the second she sees the doctor: SUP DIPSHIT#doctor who#donna noble#tennant doctor

It is driving me…cuckoo bananas that Daniel uses his job as a socially acceptable way to chase the high he used to get from drugs and Armand not only is fully aware of this, but he himself then PROVIDES that very high when Daniel beats him and exposes his lies to Louis.
#i think i need to be put down#interview with the vampire#armandaniel#devil’s minion#daniel molloy#armand#daniel’s addiction is such a cornerstone of DM and his relationship with Armand- this being a way it manifests is utterly brilliant#and like sure Daniel’s taken down many powerful people but what can compare to the high of beating a 500 year old vampire?#no other high will be enough…and we haven’t even seen him drink Armand’s blood yet!#and like!!! Daniel’s never gonna want anything less than all of armand in his monstrous glory#because like hell will he accept armand making himself small and palatable- better the unfair fight than a hollow victory#true monster soulmatism#freak matching on levels never before thought possible#gonna need these two surgically removed from my brain at this point

You’ve done it. You’ve made me go watch an Anne Rice novel adaptation and it’s batshit insane in a way that would make her rotate in her grave like a turbine in the Hoover Dam.
It's genuinely and seriously the best thing on television right now. Like, I think that shouldn't get lost in the fantastic messy drama of the narrative itself: the writers' room is simply on another level. The way the show moves through time and theme and doubles that all back into character exploration is enormously confident, and it has all the skill to back it up. I don't have a ton of hope for it to be recognized this season in television awards, since genre shows really need to pop with Respectable Critics for that, but I've noticed a sea change in the critical conversation around it that's long overdue. Astonishing stuff to get on my screen every week.
#it's brilliant and I'm not just saying that#I watch a lot of television and I know the real deal when I see it#interview with the vampire

“It was difficult to be one of the first women to sit on the pit wall. You have to tell people what to do—they have to trust in what you’re saying and have faith and belief in you. So, it probably did take a bit longer because of that. Not because of anything personal, but more because of people’s perceptions of how women are and whether they think they can deal with those environments. And I think that was the main thing of concern—of whether you’d be able to deal with the pressure.
People often feel women are more emotional, and I can be emotional. I’m not at all when I’m on the pit wall, but I can be in other things in life. That is a strength. And as more and more women get into positions of responsibility, we can show how good that is. Empathy is so important, and a really valuable trait for a leader.”

there's one thing i need to share with IWTV fandom
bc book Armand is originally Andrei, which means nothing in particular (it is 'masculine', end of story), albeit looks like a nod to Andrei Rublev, a painter-who-became-a saint (wiki link if you'd like to know more)
tv show Armand is originally Arun, which is, ok, it's beautiful in Sanskrit
a boy named after the sun, right? RIGHT?
wait for it
practically the same word in Armenian is BLOOD
if it is an Easter egg, it's a brilliant one; if it is a coincidence, it's still amazing
and i am looking at Eric Bogosian rn
i hope the amount of language he can actually understand allows him to know this and privately cackle about this
#arun amadeo armand#iwtv#interview with the vampire#vampire armand#fun fact for the fandom#also go read Bogosian's book on Armenian genocide#i shit you not it's brilliant#armenian#sanskrit

A quick snap of the Jon magazine that came through my mail box today. The interview itself isn't all that insightful. I'll put some interesting bits behind the cut for length.
Leigh (interviewer): Is it a bit of a relief when you walk away on that last day and you get to leave Louis behind?
Jacob: It is. But then I'm missing him immediately. Like, it's funny. At the end of season, the last day we were shooting something, a scene where Louis is just so tired. He's just reached this point where he has nothing left in him. Right? And this was at the end of six months of nights. We did 100 nights and I was working every single one of them. So it was great to do a scene where I had to be as tired as I was. But then we wrapped...and it sounds so dramatic, but the first thing I did was literally fall to my knees, lay down flat, face down in the middle of the street and just had a cry.
==============================================
Leigh: We should campaign for that. We need a political party that advocates a 3.5 day work week.
Jacob: I'm down for that. Like I found great purpose and great joy in playing Louis and enjoyed being there every day. I only had a few days off in season two, and I don't know ow much my partner loved that...It was a lot for my family.
==============================================
Leigh: Well, I have got just two fun questions for you - our issue theme is FAB. So I wanted to ask you about two things that are FAB in your life - what's your most fabulous pair of shoes? And what's the most fabulous dish you cook?
Jacob: Okay, I'm going to say the most fabulous dish I can cook is a brown stew chicken. [...] It's a Jamaican dish. You do it with rice and peas and it's basically like a stew where you cook it for like, four, five, six, seven hours. You cook it for as long as you want, basically. And the longer you cook it, the more the meat just falls off the bone. The reason I think it's FAB is because there's such a freedom to making it, you can do it with real flair and eccentricity.
Leigh: Really FAB. What's the basis of the sauce? What's the brown?
Jacob: This thing called 'all purpose seasoning', which is very common in Jamaican cooking. It's beautiful. It's quite hard to describe it, but it's a little bit sweet. It's very salty, and has a tomato flavour.
Leigh: And then your favourite shoes. Most FAB shoes?
Jacob: I did like a recent cull of shoes because I realised I had too many shoes [laughs]. I got some Clarks recently that are really beautiful. They're like, kind of a high, chunky feel.

A Palestinian man is asked in an interview by a white woman if he condemns Hamas while his people are being slaughtered in the open, and HE is the one condemned when he yells that it's injustice to insulate that his people deserve to be murdered, because "Hamas chose this."
A black woman is attacked first in a fight and SHE is the bad guy when she strikes back, she is the one whose face is plastered all over social media to be condemned and shamed for "aggression."
Two sisters are appropriately reacting to their oppressors by ripping off posters promoting their propaganda, and THEY are shamed and attacked for their lack of politeness when their people are being killed for existing.
An American democrat watches her colleagues cheer on genocide and ethical cleansing, the murder of children and the rape of women and the slaughter of families, and SHE is the one censored for speaking out in defense of them, despite her grief of losing family members.
Zionists are not condemned for enjoying the thought of children being killed, for calling Palestinians "animals" or saying Gaza should be "turned into a parking lot", Israeli doctors can get away with demanding that Palestinians, HUMAN BEINGS, should be murdered, that their only remaining hospital should be crushed.
They are not condemned for saying they wanted nuclear weapons unleashed on Gaza, they are not condemned for the imprisonment and torture of children, for desecrating dead Palestinians' corpses and mauling their bodies, for mocking Muslim Palestinians by rubbing their bullets against pig's skin before shooting them, for bombing Palestinian churches, for bombing universities, for shutting electricity from Gaza, cutting Palestinians from food and water, not letting them access to aid, for bombing CANCER hospitals and CHILDRENS HOSPITALS, for turning the sky of Gaza RED from explosions, for killing enough students that the entire school year was canceled, for annihilating families, for attacking Jewish people in Jerusalem, for cutting dead fetuses off dead mothers, for STEALING THEIR SKIN AND ORGANS and using them for their benefit, for forcing CHILDREN to hold a press conference to say that hey, they want to live.
Insinuating that this is about religion is the basis of Zionism. 60 members of Hamas were killed, and 10,500 civilians killed, 4000 of which are children. Over 800 bloodlines erased. Israel says they aim for "damage, not accuracy." Implying this is about Hamas is lies.
When white people in power tell you from their air-conditioned studios this is Israel defending itself, refuse to let Palestinian journalists explain things happening from their point of view, watch those journalists lose their entire families for speaking about what's happening to them, demonize Arabs who rage about injustice, ask Palestinians grieving if they condemn Hamas, know this is propaganda.
You shouldn't need them to tell you they're parroting lies to you. Their lies kill people. Their lies destroy people. Their apologies are insincere and their "sympathy" is limited only to those who look like them. It is unjust. It is cruel.
If I was were to narrate to you every atrocity Israel commited that I am aware of, I would never stop typing.
#and no matter how much people will yell about this#zionists will only listen to other zionists#no matter how brilliant and educated a non-white person#can be#their opinions and thoughts are disregarded#cnn only aired an interview from a nurse working at the Indonesian hospital in gaza because she was white#no matter how many people yell for the world to free Palestinians#how many humans with heart and grace do so#the congress and biden are the ones with power.#listen to people and be patient#we should not quiet down once a ceasefire is called.#we should keep yelling until every man and woman and child and tree and house in Palestine is free#until the birds chirp again without being shot down.#palestine#free palestine

GEOFFREY: Do you think you were ever Paul McCartney's best friend?
DENNY: I don't know. I felt we were friends. Whether I was his best friend ...
GEOFFREY: Well, there wasn't anyone else who was around anymore, was there?
DENNY: No. But I mean he had his brother, he had his family.
GEOFFREY: Was he very close with Mike?
DENNY: Yes. But in an elder brother sort of way. I mean he certainly wouldn't spoil Mike, but he'd still buy him a car once in a while or help him out. I don't think they were the best of friends all the time. There's a competition there, but then you get that in a lot of families.
GEOFFREY: Personally, I think Mike is extremely talented and his McGear allbum was brilliant. I always look on that LP like a Wings album.
DENNY: Yes. Well, we all played on it. Paul was very much the main man there, the producer.
GEOFFREY: I don't quite understand why it didn't do anything.
DENNY: I know. That's always upset me as well. Let's put it this way: if Paul had pushed that like he did his own albums, it would have been big, and it deserved to be. Frankly, I was a little bit disappointed that Paul didn't get behind that. I think he mainly left it to Mike. We all know that Mike hasn't got his kind of money and couldn't have promoted it properly.
GEOFFREY: It's funny how he never drew Mike into the family business.
DENNY: Mike might not have wanted to, you know. There's that brotherly rivalry there.
Source: Geoffrey Giuliano Interview with Denny Laine, 1989. Transcribed in Blackbird: The Life and Times of Paul McCartney.
#this is literally the most ridiculous conversation#Paul literally cowrote and produced the entire fucking album#and they're both like wow Paul is such a bad brother#GG is like 'the McGear album was brilliant'#hey who do you think made the entire thing Geoff#no shade to Mike honestly I adore him#and it was definitely a collaboration between the two of them#but I just think it's ridiculous that they're focusing on the fact that Paul didn't promote the album enough#when he's the only reason it exists in the first place#that album got made BECAUSE Paul wanted to help out his brother#and then last minute Denny is like 'oh maybe Mike didn't want Paul to promote it'#yeah no shit#why do you think he changed his name to McGear?#Mike confirmed that he was the one who didn't want Paul to promote it in an SDE interview in 2019 by the way#'the fact that he’s the producer is quite enough thank you' - Mike#my quotes#beatles

Really beholden to the idea that at least part of why Louis was fascinated with Daniel initially was because of his project of interviewing citizens of San Francisco, documenting their stories and voices, in much the same way Louis was trying to do with his photography in Paris.
#interview with the vampire#louis de pointe du lac#daniel molloy#danlou#one of their connections being an artist’s appreciation for the stories found in the lives of everyday people#is such a brilliant one#and something that separates them from armand#who directs and controls the theater but doesn’t perform in it (that we see atp)#and when you consider how long it’s been since Paris and when louis was practicing photography#it’s easy for me to believe that louis being reminded of his past and his flirtation with art and when he was still in love with humanity#was enough to not only sit down for that first interview but to actually open up to someone about his life#it ends poorly of course#i do love danlou parallels#and am chomping at the bit over the idea of them aligning against armand#even if it’s only for one episode it could be really interesting
