Random thoughts while re-reading 'Dark Rise/Dark Heir' #1

Okay, knowing what I know after reading both books, I wonder *why*. His mother obviously didn't send Matthew to help Will out of the goodness of her heart. She told him to run when she was dying.

Not to save Will - she would have killed him herself if she could. So ... to keep him away from those who actually want to bring Sarcean back?

Why send him to the Stewards? Did she hope they would figure him out and find a way to dispose of him?

Ugh, I love how everything makes perfect sense when you first read it, and still make perfect sense - just in a completely different way - when you re-read it.

Since we were talking about Gabrielle, it reminded me of this thread on twitter, great thread. But I actually wanted to get your opinion on this tweet specifically

https://x.com/cspacat/status/1801571373468553508?s=46

It is an interesting thread, anon, and that's an interesting tweet! I agree and I disagree with the thread overall - like I agree with their comment that Gabrielle is where Lestat learned to pour his love out to people who'd emotionally withhold from him, but I actually disagree with the note about Antoinette, especially given it kind of undermines their point about her being a Gabrielle substitute given Antoinette does nothing but give Lestat the love and validation that he thinks he wants. It's literally why he goes to her for comfort, and Gabrielle has never had any capacity to give Lestat comfort at all to the point it's explicitly stated multiple times in TVL.

I do understand the reading people have of her being dressed as a man in the finale as being about Gabrielle, and I do think it's a wink to book fans in some respects, but as a narrative beat in the context of the episode, I actually tend to read her dressing as a man as being about Louis. I think Louis and Antoinette share an insecurity about the things they aren't to Lestat, Antoinette being a white woman, and Louis being a Black man, and I think her dressing as a man is a way of signalling herself as Louis' ultimate replacement. She's kind of pitching herself in the same way Daniel does with Louis in 2.05 - he can be his Lestat, he can be his Claudia - I think Antoinette's doing the same thing - she can be Lestat's husband, she can be his daughter, if he'd only let her be.

As for the note about Armand, I kind of agree, but I do think it's an extreme read, as they identified, especially because Lestat does want Armand, and the fact that they never consumate their relationship is tied up more so - to me - in the assault in the 1700s and the triggered association to Magnus, the mutilation of Nicki a few years later, the imprisonment, and then the murder of Claudia and attempted murder of Louis. Does Armand want him too much for Lestat to ever truly want him back? Yeah, I think it probably comes into play, but I actually don't even think that's the primary reason they never got together. Lestat did initially want Armand, and it seems to me like a part of him still does from what I've heard of the later books (my forever disclaimer, haha - I've only read through Memnoch). I think Sam was right in his interview with Autumn where he said that they're just not really compatible in that way, and while Gabrielle and the way Lestat was taught to love is probably a part of that, I think it's a pretty small one.

After reading "The Song of Achilles, Captive Prince, Kaze to Ki No Uta and all for the game" and crying my eyes out for suffering gays, I kind of think they are the height of love.

Do you know any other gay couples that have a traumatized blonde and a loving, adorable brunette?

Random thoughts while re-reading 'Dark Rise/Dark Heir' #2

Okay, I need to know what this passage looks like in the physical book

Because if it looks like this too, then you cannot tell me it isn't intentional. Like ... what is that odd formatting of the ingraving? It made me stumble over the sentence the first time I read it. It just wouldn't be like Pacat to use this awkward formatting without a reason.

The position of the linebreak is completely off. At least if it's meant to be read the way Will reads it (as do I - usually).

I cannot return when I am called to fight So I will have a child

Whacky theory: What if it isn't?

I cannot return when I am called to fight So I will have a child

If you try to read it like that, the capitalized 'So' doesn't make any sense if it's a preposition. And the whole sentence doesn't make a lot of sense anyway - why fight to have a child?

I can't help but wonder ... what if the 'So' is capitalized because it isn't to be understood as a preposition but as a noun? A name or an object?

(Yes, I know I'm most likely reading too much into this, thank you hahaha)

If this wasn't an entirely different type of script I would have even entertained the idea that Will might have read it wrong. That the 'I' is actually a lowercase 'L' and belongs to the 'So'. Which would make it:

I cannot return when I am called to fight SoI will have a child

What is this nonsense? I have no idea. But I will eat my joyfully eat my kindle if the formatting of this little text will be important in any way whatsoever.

Oh, and if it actually looks different in the physical copy of the book - forget I said anything ... at all. I wasn't even here.
