#But what else is new

[qvert]

We interrupt our normal broadcast for my journaling that got COMPLETELY out of hand

I DID mean to take out my ink… and do a little title page for this month or smth and then… I got possessed?

(Also please ignore my fortune cookie thing on the first page)

the thing about langdon is that i understand him. and that's what makes the portrayal of his addiction so raw and scary and new. this is a guy who needs to run a mile per minute: for his job, for his family, for himself. so, when an injury stops that from happening, maybe leaving him with chronic pain that requires indefinite management, it's understandable that he would try anything to make it stop.

and maybe the running and ice baths and adrenaline-seeking were already ways for him to cope with the pressures put upon him; the expectations to be a good student, doctor, husband, and father during an unprecedented pandemic were probably crushing him.

and when you take away the ability to have healthy coping mechanisms, the unhealthy ones creep their way in.

the thing that's scary about langdon is that i can see how i could've been like him. as a former competitive dancer who got overlapping severe injuries that caused me to quit something that i thought would be my career, i'm still dealing with the ramifications. i am living with chronic pain, it interferes with my acting, with my life. there was a time where i would've done anything to have it stop. and thankfully it didn't get to the point of substance use, but there was a very real risk. and there still is.

it's so refreshing to see an addict portrayed in a way that doesn't condone his actions, but treats him with empathy. it's a disease, there are so many things that may cause someone to go down that path. and it's obvious in the way patrick speaks about it that it's important to him to approach everything with empathy first and foremost.

basically i just have so much love for langdon as a character, and for patrick in his portrayal of him. and i cannot wait to see him in early recovery in s2, and to see him navigate everything that comes with it!

Rolin Jones on IWTV s3 (going forward) and POVs:

"Everybody’s free to judge the rest of it. If all goes right, we’ll have six or seven more seasons to work on you coming around to that, or the redemption of that. [In season one,] the audience wants to kill Lestat along with Louis and Claudia. But we had to sit on it for a year and a half. So it’s okay for people to think that we made a supervillain out of Lestat and then to come around to a fuller portrait. In season three, [Lestat is] front and center, and Jacob takes a supporting role. And it’s not all about point of view. We got 80 to 85-percent of Lestat pretty solid. Retribution is easy, right? It’s being contrite. [There’s] the idea that forgiveness should be part of this cycle, too. That’s something I think we’re trying to sell." "So, what am I interested in? I’ll be less interested in point of view and memory as much. The challenge of the books is that there’s not a lot of forward story. I don’t think that you can probably mine the arcs of those for origin story after origin story after origin story. But that doesn’t mean you can’t take the same material and in very inventive, exciting ways move it forward."

And:

“The big difference moving forward is Lestat will be front and center telling the story, so it should feel like this show has been taken hostage by Lestat,” Jones says. “Aesthetically, it is going to feel different. It is not going to feel like two old guys in a room trying to figure out what brought them together. It is going to be over the shoulder of Lestat de Lioncourt, of whom you have probably seen about an 80%-accurate version of who he is — on fire and reckless. So it should be fun and dangerous.”

Dichen Lachman having her photo taken while THAT Markgemma scene just happens to play over her shoulder?

Iconic. The universe speaks. Mark and Gemma, your love story continues to haunt us all in the real world as it should.

Dichen Lachman was meant to be Gemma Scout and we will see her story continue in the next season as the main character, so help me God.

Narrator: did you actually think you had a loving wife-

Stanley: no, but that may be because I’m gay

Narrator: oh OH! My! im sorry for assuming Stanley so rude of me, please forgive my impoliteness (ruffles around with the script and changes the mannequin into a male model) there you go, a loving husband then …you can’t get that either

…how pathetic

Stanley: -_-

been thinking a lot lately about how I'm not convinced Nancy would stay in journalism long term because of the utter frustration she would feel at reporting on things she couldn't get actively involved in or the all-around constrictions of the sort of red tape you run into working at a newspaper or a network or anything and THAT has me thinking about what one (of many) careers she might transition to when she gets fed up with it.

hear me out. Nancy Wheeler the private investigator who gets to use all of those investigative reporting skills, who has a bit more wiggle room to bend the rules, who doesn't have to answer to some higher power for the things she says or does, and who can maybe actually help people in a hands on way.

She can find the people who go missing instead of just reporting when their bodies turn up. She can help people stuck in abusive homes escape their abusers. She can help people who were betrayed by business partners or friends or family get money they need to survive back.

She can find people. She can save them. Before it's too late.

Nancy Wheeler, who lies to cops with a smile and asks forgiveness not permission taking a mystery and running with it? Working just enough outside of the law so people don't have to deal with the police if they come to her instead; working to understand what it looks like when the person she's looking for needs protecting from her client instead of being handed over no questions asked?

Not every case has to end like Barb's. Not everyone left standing has to grieve like Nancy. She can change these people's histories before they become tragedies.

Nancy Wheeler will always be a storyteller, she'll never stop putting pen to paper, but maybe journalism was just not the arena for her to do that in. Maybe it's two different things, the stories she tells and the people she helps.

Maybe she gets to do both if she just finds the right avenues.
