#claudia du pointe du lac

does anybody want to hear about what fragrances each iwtv character reminds me of. as somebody who is absolutely not normal or casual about their interests at all

[onlymurdersintheafterparty]

On Twitter today there was a tweet about Lestat prompting a discussion of a Loustat Dance Moms au and I would LOVE a fic of Lestat being a menace over Claudia taking part in some sort of performance. Whether it’s a dance class, school play, or pageant we all know he would not be messing around and Louis would be stressed out from having to console Claudia bc of the pressure she’s under and talking down Lestat so he won’t cuss out everybody 😭

Also I can’t shake the image of Lestat pulling an all-nighter at the sewing machine to make a young Claudia or Viktor a Halloween costume that he designed himself. I wish I were a talented artist bc the pic or comic of this would be so adorable bye (if any of you see this post and are inspired to draw it can you please tag me?)

One of these days I’m going to have to just start writing fics for myself even if I don’t post them just to have an outlet for these ideas 😩

I am a strong believer of Claudia being "wronged" again by Louis' memory and cast changes to show it

[kaitcake1289]

Who are you, Louis?

[favouritefi]

She’s still alive to me because I’m still on season one

[atarial]

iwtv is fast becoming a real fav of mine, first season was great and the second just kept it up

so had to do a proper bit of art after the more simple portraits i did for the first season

really happy with this final result; tried a few things with this one

hope you all like it too :)

Everybody let's not sleep on the fact that Claudia's *entire* arc is not only about her discovering her queerness, but it's also an allegory about disability and ableism.

Claudia is "disabled" in a vampire sense. She has a weaker, slighter body, and looks younger than she is. She can't physically turn vampires, and must rely on help, having to beg for something other vampires can do freely.

She is sexually abused because of her percieved weakness by Bruce, a sad fact that the disabled are more likely to be.

But when she wishes to express her own sexuality she is mocked and patronized by her inability to control herself and not kill doing the act (something the physically older vampires are able to do), and again not able to turn one she wishes for her companion, and have to humiliate herself in the process (having to endure Louis calling her a burden in an attempt to convince Armand).

She just have to shut up and take it, just have so many disabled people have to endure abuse from the caregivers they rely on.

Her ability to decide for her own life, are constantly questioned, as are those with disabilities.

She is patronized, disregarded and systematically ridiculed just for wanting to be a part of a group.

Only Madeleine view her as an equal, and neither coddle her and patronize her.

So remember, when you write about Claudia, and how her relationship with Madeleine gives you "the ick" despite Claudia being a mature woman mentally, just because she has a physically slighter, younger body, remember that many disabled people, physically or mentally, can appear much younger than we are, yet still have fully formed sexual desires, and inner lives. Remember the people who's bodies outside of fiction who's sexual desires gives you "the ick" because they fall out of social norms.

And remember, that Claudia in this series is not only a sapphic woman of color, she's a *disabled* sapphic woman of color (and I love her for it).

The proud look of Lestat when Claudia says that she'll come somehow back and kill them all.

She's really his daughter and it shows.
