#daniel said in s1 after reading claudias diary that he likes her

[mossycakes]

and voted the peoples princess of the month is madeline, who read all of claudias diaries which detailed the last words of all of her kills while smiling, who then offered claudia her wrist and encouraged her to try a sip, who laughed in armands face when he said she would lose everything, who complained about her last ever drink of wine while drinking it, and who has done nothing but give zero fucks and provoke and flirt with her vampire girlfriend. she definitely went to the daniel molloy school of dealing with hot vampires

Just some rambling IWTV season 2 flashback to the dreadful ep of Lestat throwing Louis from the sky...

⚠️ SPOILER WARNING ⚠️

In the trial episode, when there was a flashback to what happened that night with Louis and Lestat...well...from what we know now, they beat each other. And when Louis just smashed Lestat's face on their coffin so hard, they fell to the opposite sides, I laughed so fucking hard. Like WTF 💀💀 I was actually reluctant to watching any flashback to that episode but I am glad that they didn't make it what I thought they did back then. Anyways, back at them vampire boyfriends having a meltdown while they give zero fucks about their terrified, traumatized daughter, I calmed down a bit,, it's getting serious...

Then Louis tried to get up, looked at Lestat's face, and started laughing while saying "look at your fucking face". Cut to Lestat's face--bruh I was laughing like a psychopath at the man's bloody face 😂😂 coz he did look fucking horrible like a bloody clown, mouth half open! Eyes all like this: 🩸👁️👄👁️🩸

This is extra weird to me when I think about how the same event but in season 1, from Claudia's POV was so fucking horrifying and triggering to me. I almost wanted to shut the show down. Oh lord, I feel like I just enjoy seeing Lestat get beat up sometimes. That's ok. He deserves some beating. Louis gotta put a leash on him with how fucking feral he gets.

One thing tho, this was also Louis's retellings, right? In season 1. So, why did he say the story in such a way that it looked like, Lestat was just beating the shit out of him. Louis wouldn't lie just to make Lestat look worse than he already is. I don't get it coz, regardless of whether Louis did beat Lestat back or not, what Lestat did after that, by dropping Louis from sky high...that reaction from Lestat was already horrible enough on its own. Nowhere near a proportional reaction to what Louis did or said to him. So, Louis just...wanted to keep Daniel in suspense or what LOL Or was that scene from s1 supposed to be from Claudia's diary POV? I don't remember now if it was flashback to Daniel reading the diary. And I don't wanna watch that episode again. Might be that it's simply the show keeping us on our toes. If so then idk what to feel about the show doing that. I also don't think Lestat's face looked as bloody in s1 during this happening. Probably a continuity error. Or...a memory manipulation by Armand? Louis didn't at all notice the different retellings of the same night tho, neither did Daniel. Or maybe Lestat did have a bloody face.

Introducing the memory manipulation and memory erasing power gives some new meanings to previous events. Definitely, makes things more interesting. I do hope the seasons ahead are just as good as season 2 was. Even new powers. Show us Magnus and Akasha too. Armand looked shooketh when Lestat almost whisper-said the name 👀

I know that Akasha has a movie called Queen of the Damned. She looks...majestic. The Lestat beside her tho, looks like budget Edward Cullen. The movie has low ratings too. Idk if I should watch it and potentially spoil the future seasons. Or just wait for the next season and then watch it. I have seen a little bit of this film tho, on television. She just sauntered down vaguely in a disco. Hard to forget her, in that sexy attire and just fucking amazing look over all. Hot af

I already know some minor spoilers about Lestat. Well, one spoiler. That Lestat had...Alabama mommy issues 😭😭 what is this wrong with this French dude. Louis and Claudia really got paired with the most unhinged vampire...

[IGNORE EVERYTHING I SAY. I FEEL LIKE SHIT. I KNOW NOTHING.]

Well I got to episode 5 in my IWTV S1 rewatch…

Truthfully I probably won’t say much about this episode since there is so much of it in season 2 that I think will be revisited. On top of that I am at the end of my semester at school so I probably won’t say much because of that too. Also out of all of the episodes of s1 this the episode that I have seen the least.

But we still have 3 more weeks until season 2 where I have no doubt that s1 will be tame when compared to it. I’m getting more and more nervous each week not going to lie.

Ok… here we go!

IWTV S1 E5: A Vile Hunger for Your Hammering Heart

The episode starts with Daniel reading Claudia’s diary and how she records the last words of the people she kills.

But then Daniel is interrupted by Louis feeding on ‘Rashid’. It is pretty nasty for Louis and Armand to do this in front of Daniel. He even reads his mind to try and throw Daniel off his game. I notice that whenever Daniel tries to talk about something negatively about Claudia, Louis will always try to do something to throw Daniel off that even holds through in the ‘Paris sucks’ clip we have in s2.

It’s funny that Armand tells Daniel he would not let him anywhere near his neck. He must still be mad at Daniel for something maybe Devil’s minion related? 👀

Then we go back to 1923 where Louis thinks that she has gone on a hunger strike because of Charlie but Lestat knows that she is just escaping when they have to go feed. Since they are so similar Lestat knows that Claudia would not skip out on meals.

Also the line “I know what I’d do, but you cut my hands off.” Like!!!!! Fucked up Nikki reference. 😭

Also Lestat reading the diary and the dairy being so graphic ugh… 🤢

Everything is just such a mess… oh boy… with all the bodies coming up

And of course Tom Anderson is trying to distract Loustat since the Police chief is there in the speakeasy.

I feel so much anxiety with all the cops in their home! And Claudia is not helping! 😬

There are still some comical bits such as the “We sell… incinerators.” Louis’s little shrug at Lestat. “To various American cities.” The delivery is actually very funny.

Also what’s funny is Claudia’s acting when the cop opens her door. Her face when she drops the blanket and the closet door opens to show the rotting man.

But all the fun and games stop when the cop is homophobic.

Yes Lestat is a jerk and treats Claudia like shit and still sees Antoinette so Claudia only feels like she has to leave.

Also establishing that Claudia is unable to turn people is a great thing to set up now.

And even though it’s heartbreaking I do love that Claudia gets mad at Louis for not just taking her to a hospital but made Lestat turn her into this monster. Bailey’s acting is just so perfect here.

We go back to Dubai and Daniel is telling Louis some harsh truths about what the public could do with Claudia. Yikes

And their home turns into a ruin after they wake up from their long nap

Man…Fuck Bruce

The part where Louis makes Daniel’s Parkinson’s go out of control as always annoyed me even if Daniel was stepping out of bounce it just never sat right to me. And of course Armand is there to ‘calm Louis down’

We go back once again and we see the scene of Louis saying his final goodbye to Grace and his makes Claudia come home after everything.

Lestat is such a bitch when she comes home. I understand what he is trying to do but it’s just all wrong.

And the fight happens. We will revisit what happened during the fight in the coffin room that we don’t get to see. But as an indication by some parts of the trailer we have already seen a glimpse of it. Hopefully the writers handle it well…

Also the during the drop scene it sounds a lot like what Armand said to Lestat before pushing him off a tower in TVL so I guess we’ll see what comes of it.

Okay good got through that one. Now I can get back to some class work lol.

I cannot believe that we are now 3 weeks away from seeing the premier for season 2 and for some of you, you will be seeing it in about a week and a half. Good luck to the NYC people that get to see it early.

Interview with the vampire Season S2E6 Liveblog

"Like the light by which God made the world before he made light"

Oh my God Daniel and real Rashid.what the hell are they doing together?! Does he is think Rashid is with the Talemasca at this point or does is he questioning him thinking that the vampires are have been tracking him this whole time?

I was not sure that I agreed with Rashid was with the talamasca but now we have Ragland James saying don't worry about Rashid so he's definitely one of them.

NOW Daniels  worried about making it out alive?!? after they've peace together the past? Was he just hiding his fear really well earlier in the season/series or did he just really think he did not have much to fear? I'm not sure.

"You fear Armand you should fear the other one"my guy they're BFFs Havent you heard👂👨🏼‍🤝‍👨🏿

IF I COULD SWAP BODIES!!!!

I love how they got this scene from the books between Louis and Lestat made it into TDV play

OK Roget 100% knows Lestat is a vampire, Louis is a vampire, and the theater is full of vampires. I wasn't sure how aware he was when we first met him.

How did the theater run for 150 years when our unholy family could barely stay in New Orleans for 30? Is lack of societal ties? Changing out members?  Is the coven keeping tabs on who visits the theatre and how often?

Everyone is like oh my God "how did Armand not know this, how did he not know that" he's not all-knowing!  He's powerful but he's not all-knowing and especially with wilful ignorance.  Specifically when he thinks he has a situation under control.  Santiago is plotting literally right in front of him. He thought if he could keep Santiago in his sights everything would be fine but Santiago is literally ACTING and telepathically communicating with his minions right in front of Armand.

I'm not sure why Louis and Daniel did not immediately confront Armand with their knowledge instead of Louis making a backhanded comments

Not Armand looking a little prideful when Daniel compliments his drink making abilities

Oh s*** Claudia did not play no games.The scissors in the throat fuck

Why would Madeline assume that Claudia was a vampire instead of a weird serial killer?

Sis said just a little snack before I leave. Was Claudia hoping Madeline would find her?

Claudia looking like a baby lion with blood all over her face.

Take off you clothes * me* passes the fuck out

Louis got a new hobby business. Armand, like Lestat, is being a little too dismissive for me.

Everybody is around sir! what the hell is this voyeuristic behavior?

Madeline asking if drinking blood was like drinking life itself reminded me of Lestats line in S1"You will be filled with all the life you can hold. You will see death in all its beauty?'

Claudia being like nah its just food fr. Never honoring the blood as she should if you will.

I would really love to know how much time has passed between this and Armand telling her to stay away from Madeline. Bewtween the shop incident to her reading Claudia' diaries. Then later how much time to they spend out of Paris before they come back.

I love this blouse and skirt combo Claudia has on. The symbols on the shirt remind me of koi fish. The shirt!I loved the colors. Reminded me of African American flag

Claudia's like telling Louis she didn't didn't cry, she just watched me kill and clean up the mess..girl that's not normal!

They are literally bringing Armand in on it?!Wow holy s*** and then ahhh! That's so wild that Louis thinks that he has such a hold Armand that he could force hand and influence him to bend the laws like this.

But at least they're asking and not breaking the laws first that counts for something. right? RIGHT?!

Does Louis not want Claudia to know he has the fire gift?Why does he use a lighter to light her cig?

This scene between Louis and Claudia feels like the first time they are truly siblings

The chrysanthemums on the wallpaper during Armands interrogation of Madeline 👀

Louis willing changing Madeline without Armand influence and seeminly no guilt behind it. This is one change from the books that I don't like actually. But I guess we still have Armando being manipulative in the 70s so we don't really need it in the 40s but I really liked what happened to the books in regard to the Madeline. But Louis being so human is so core to his character in the books. I don't know what his motivations or conflict is without it really...

God Louis and Armand are so hot together. Are you asking or making me?This is my favorite kiss between them even though its probably their least heartfelt

Louis does give us a hint to the year with the major events list -1949

Louis monologue on Madeline's turning was really beautiful especially Claudia being seen through Madeline's eyes. I thought that shot of Claudia in the sun was gonna be her haunting him but it was really beautiful how it actually came about

'Claudia In an impossible afternoon light she could not survive in.' So ironic. I took some closet cosplay pics in the sun as Claudia and was like I cant use these BUTwith this quote that was a perfect excuse to

She is a difficult one but one worth having. LMAO yeah right. Now if that don't sound like an implanted memory i don't know what does

Daniel telling Louis to Stand up!

I really liked the moment from the movies when Louis said (and I'm paraphrasing )'what I did in there that's the last bit of my humanity' and Claudia says 'good, now we are even'. It like that's what they're getting at on the show when Louis says I didn't feel anything, 'I thought it would feel like losing Claudia but I did not care'. It doesn't really work because we've seen Louis embrace being a vampire more fully in the show so him being cut off and hard before he loses Claudia or has to turn Madeline for Claudia- it's not giving.

At the cafe Claudia mentions Sweet Iris, Peony and Lavender as flowers they have grown .Goggling how long these plants take to flower, its been at least a year since they have been gone from Paris.

The family convo in the cafe was everything. And here comes Santiago strutting through the streets😭😭😭😭 This is the betrayal that Armand can never make up for  he called Santiago. This was the choice.

Kill your lover or f*** your mother👀 Coming for Lestats head

And there he is Lestat de Lioncourt-10 minutes to curtain and I'm not ready

Definitely the calm before the storm type episode. Again cheers all around for this amazing cast.

[lou-iz-stat]

4 more weeks or 1 month left until the new season starts and I feel like we are currently in the calm before the storm and I am definitely nervous. 😬

This is my rewatch for episode 4 of season 1 and I absolutely adore this episode as shit pretty much hits the fan after this relatively sweet episode. I have a feeling that we won’t have an episode as happy as this one in season 2 so it’s best to enjoy it as much as possible. 😭

Also spoilers for everything!

IWTV S1 E4: The Ruthless Pursuit of Blood With All a Child’s Demanding

This episode starts out with Daniel talking on his phone to I assume his agent for the book he is going to write about this messy vamps. I wonder if this will be important later?

And of course the sleep paralysis demon that is Armand/ Rashid is just standing there.

Some of the lines he says to Daniel are so archaic it’s crazy people didn’t think he was Armand.

But he has the important job of bringing Daniel to Claudia’s old diaries.

Daniel makes a remark about the tree and Armand says something about an architect which I wonder if that will also be someone from the book that we did not know yet.

And he tells Daniel where to start with the dairies but of course he doesn’t listen and starts reading one towards the end. 😂

Now we are finally starting Claudia’s pov

“You were ready to abandon our home. Now you want a third” Lestat was so hurt by Louis leaving :(

In this version it’s Louis that wants Lestat to turn Claudia instead of Lestat just out right baby trapping him. But that doesn’t mean that Lestat turned Claudia without selfish intentions. He knows if he does this for Louis that he will no longer want to abandon him.

God that look on Lestat’s face when he thinks he’s getting a family. ☺️

Also! No secrets my ass!!!

“A funny way of being nice to each other.” They’re gay dear.

When I first watched the pleated skirt line it took me out! They are everything!!! 🤣

Claudia is Lestat’s daughter alright. Claudia said ACAB and that is why she is an icon.

This episode is comedic genius!

I LOVE when Lestat sneaks in Louis’s coffin. It’s so sweet and since it’s from Claudia’s pov we can more objectively see the good parts of their relationship. I’m sure if Louis was telling this part of the story that he might have not mentioned their coffin-sharing almost every night.

I also really adore the scene with Louis and Claudia in the boat. In the book Claudia doesn’t actually know why or how she was made but in the show Louis tells her the truth that it was because of him that she was hurt so bad in the fire. I like that he just tells her outright for how she was made. I also really love that when Claudia asks Louis how love works between two men and Louis makes that adorable face. It gives me butterflies!

After that scene, Daniel takes a break and walks in on Rashid/ Armand praying and he notes that he spoke a language that is from the Crimea which is a call back to the book since Armand’s character is originally from that area in Europe. So I think that they will still incorporate that part of Armand’s background in the show too.

This makes Daniel sorta suspicious of Rashid also because of him referring to Dubai as a ‘child’ Also Daniel’s notes on ‘Rashid’ is so funny.

We go back to the unholy family and they are just having a grand old time just being hella cute~

I wonder if the marquis Lestat mentions at Claudia’s birthday is his dad or his oldest brother? It sucks either way because they got guillotined during the revolution.

Loustat dancing is so sweet~

Movie theatre scene 🥰

Oh shit Mama Du Lac is dead

They look so good in their formation as the leave the wake.

Lestat bringing Claudia to the lovers lane for some dinner isn’t… the best but he is trying to bond with her and he does treat her so sweetly in the scene.

This does awaken something inside her like her sudden need to grow up.

And in her need to grow up she finally meets Charlie as her first love.

In classic vampire fashion Claudia accidentally kills Charlie

And though I hate to admit it Lestat is right when tells his fledglings to stay out of human goings on. He should have just been more sensitive about it when she brought Charlie’s body home.

Louis finally shows back up in the interview! I wonder what was doing other than ‘resting’

Louis so sad about Claudia. 😢

This episode ends so sad and miserable… Poor Claudia 😔

Okay with that ends my s1 episode 4 rewatch.

I am definitely not looking forward to episode 5…. It’s a tough watch but I’ll try to do it next time.

Thanks for reading this! We have only a month left and between this show and another show that is coming out around the same time I am losing my mind but I would have it no other way.
