Lestat first victim of biphobia

[creativelycomplex]

Whenever Louis gets really mean it’s not because he’s tapping into his true vampiric self, it’s actually him channeling the hating ass spirit of his mother.

[jaypentaghast]

we're celebrating claudia this week right??

[jellyfishcharm]

it is absolutely fucking wild to me how louis in the very beginning of iwtv wasn’t phased by lestat at all. lestat can read his mind? he got tricks is all. lestat can talk to him without moving his lips? he’s french. lestat can LEVITATE? the dick is just that good!

his brother, mom, and sister all tried to warn him and he didn’t want to hear shit. he really said my man is my man i don’t wanna hear it.

and the fact that he stopped talking to lestat, not because he realized “oh this shit is crazy i’m out” no it’s because lestat is a man. YOU HAVE MORE PRESSING ISSUES. HE SUNK HIS TEETH INTO YOU, FLESH AND ALL.

i think people don’t realize how big a freak louis is like that man was throughly dickmatized by the time he was turned.

INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE 1x2 | 1x3 | 1x4

[jameslongforjimshortforgabriel]

love how lestat's immediate reaction to seeing a cute guy was "omg I'm gonna sleep with your favorite prostitute. yeah the one you use to convince yourself that you're straight. which ur not. btw. let's have sex"

Interview With the Vampire is like...

Here is our protagonist hes going to tell you a story. But some of it he's remembered wrong -- was it raining that night? And some of it he's obfuscating or skirting or deliberately lying about. He's admitted the first time he tried to tell this story was a performance. Also he hallucinates, sometimes. Oh, and there are characters who can erase and alter memories. When does he mix up a detail? When is he lying? When is he telling what he thinks is the truth but he's just wrong or being lied to himself?

Here's Claudia's diaries. The written word, in her own words. Surely we can trust them! Except she knew her diaries were being read by her fathers/brothers/jailors. She had reason to present her life in a certain way in those writings, reasons to not write down everything. And same as any other person,even if she was writing the truth, she was limited by her perspective of what that was. Here are her diaries but some of the pages have been ripped out, censored by other people.

Here is Rashid. Except no, he's really the vampire Armand. He can erase memories. He was pretending to be someone else. His name was never Rashid. It isn't really Armand either, he doesn't even know his own name, or all of his own story, Armand will do.

Here is Real Rashid. Even Rashid isn't what he appears to be. He works for a shadowy organization.

Here is Daniel Malloy, our journalist, our interviewer. It is his job to ask questions, provide evidence reveal the truth. But even he can't trust his own altered memories. He has time he can't account for, gaps in his memories from years of drug abuse and one bad trip from a week of drug AND vampire abuse. He is not an objective observer, he too is a part of the story he is trying to tell.

Here is Lestat de Lioncourt. Except not really. maybe once at the end. Here he is through memories, and other peoples stories and hearsay. Here is the seducer, the boogieman, the abuser, the victim, the Vampire. He haunts the narrative, and starts the narrative, and is, in many ways, the bleeding heart of the tragic narrative and he never tells his own story in his own words.

Here is a trial. Except its a play--prewritten, rehearsed! the accused can barely speak for themselves. The audience has no choice but to laugh along to the story being shoved down their throats. its only a story. You can see the fake limp rope, when that one vampire 'flies' - its all pretend, its all a show...right?

[genderrage]

It just occurred to me that there is an added level of irony that when Louis tries to deny the vampiric part of himself in 1x3 he drains a cat. A gay man "eating pussy" to deny his identity/nature is quite the interesting choice.

[rodrickheffeley]

happy anniversary to louis’ confession scene that would have gotten jacob anderson multiple Emmys if we lived in a perfect world

[creativelycomplex]

Lestat didn’t baby trap Louis. Louis didn’t baby trap Lestat. In fact Louis baby trapped himself bc Lestat wasn’t going nowhere. The man couldn’t even leave Louis alone during Paul’s funeral, he is a persistent brat who doesn’t let go.

We are joined by a cord, by a cord that you cannot see. But it is real. It is real.
