Imagine you’re a 14 year old orphan living in a rooming house in 1917. And one day your building is set on fire during a race riot. And you get caught in the fire and you’re pretty sure you’re gonna die. And then out of nowhere a complete stranger comes along and carries you away. And next thing you know you’re a vampire and the newly adopted daughter of an interracial gay vampire couple that turned you just to try to fix their marriage.

reminded me of this

“Listen to me. And listen very carefully, my infant death. It was never you.”

“…Catherine Earnshaw, may you not rest as long as I am living; you said I killed you—haunt me, then! The murdered do haunt their murderers, I believe. I know that ghosts have wandered on earth. Be with me always—take any form—drive me mad! only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you!’”

(on claudia, self-imposed hauntings, and life beyond the body and the physical record)

“Doesn’t sound like him? Oh forgot! Love makes you stupid! Makes you fickle, and weak, and blind! Let me guess, he’s your companion finally? Well good for fucking you! You and him, him and you! You and fucking him! Picked another one over me!”

And if you go, I wanna go with you

And if you die, I wanna die with you

I REALLY hope they bring back Louis' photography in s3 because like...truly all the hurdles that kept frustrating him —trying to nail down an interesting composition while maintaining distance from the subject, low light/night shooting, being unable to see if the shot was good until after it develops—would be solved by a modern digital camera with a few specialty lenses?

And HONESTLY I don't like the "vampires are incapable of art" thing? Like. Yes they are impatient and quick to frustrate. But they also...TALK like that? Like Louis' DIALOGUE doesn't really reflect it, but his narration does, but he has the mind of a poet. He's brilliant, he's studied, he's very pensive and thoughtful, knows exactly the right words to use to evoke the exact emotional response he wants. That would absolUTELY transfer well into visual medium! He knows what to evoke, and how to "set the scene" to do it. The technology of the camera and his own impatience was the real hurdle.

Pretty sure Armand is a classically trained painter/s apprentice? On top of directing some very avante garde and deliciously ghoulish and whimsical productions way ahead of their time with the theater.

And LESTAT sorry—like obviously it is not uncommon for someone to just have a good ear and the autonomy to manipulate their own voice to how they want it to sound, but I reFUSE to believe all the TVL lyrics will be as "campy" as Long Face. Do you hear how he Talks. The romANCE. Come To Me was SWEET! especially the 40s version, the crooning sounded so easy breezy for Sam's range I reFUSE I REFUSE to believe all the songs will be bad by default.

(also this is from the 94 movie but I liked that Claudia had like a Da Vinci level amazing sketchbook )

[knownoshamc]

INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE (2022 - )

Little Birdie Lu's caught in a trap. But she's flapping her wings and getting free!

[shhhhimwatchingthis]

My favourite underrated thing about Louis de Point du Lac is that he truly is the least curious vampire to ever be made and he does not give fuck about vampires despite being one.

Its Claudia who goes to libraries, reads the folklore, tries to learn as much as she can and pushes Lestat for answers about who made him and where the others are. Claudia says Vampire Pride and Louis says hmmm Vampire Tolerance.

And Louis...truly does not care about vampire history,law, culture. He's never even thought to ask. There are vampire laws?...ok...Lestat never cared about them and he's not going to either, lol. He's broken a few and he will continue to do so. Oh you have a coven? he's not gonna join it, he's gonna do his own thing. but good for you good for you.

the 500+ year old Coven Leader, he's gonna call Louis, Maitre, actually.

He has fire powers? thats kinda cool. he'll learn that but only cause it lets him vent his feelings about Lestat.

Lestat and Armand say the name of the vampire queen in front of him and Lestat straight up says, "Louis has no idea who that is" and do you think Louis cares, outside of the fact that for some reason it means he can't kill Lestat? No! Do you think in the 77 years he's been with Armand he ever took 5 minutes to ask a follow up question? No!

Do you think he will care about Akasha in season 3? Doubt it! Outside of her obsession with Lestat, who is the only person left on the planet he seems to be able to filter Caring About This Shit through

He blatantly breaks the 3rd law and publishes a book about being a vampire and when the other vampires get pissed not only does he not apologise he literally sends them his location and says 'you wanna fight? lmao don't miss'

I love him. Daniel Molloy is gonna need to bring his A game because Louis will not be solving a single mystery next season, nor would it even occur to him to try.

[elainiisms]

female protagonists will literally go through 30 life altering traumas at the age of 16 and you ppl still have the audacity to call them annoying bc they cry about it and act like teenage girls
