Not counting just refreshing myself on the stuff I was already familiar with (first two books + movie), I've now read two books, two scripts, a graphic novel, and the synopses of no fewer than three operas, AND I've watched an entire goddamn opera, all thanks to the new AMC show.

Also I was going to pick up the next book in the series while I was out today and the only reason I didn't is because it wasn't in stock at the bookstore

#ignore me #every time a piece of media contains significant/intriguing references to an opera #I think to myself ''ooh maybe I'll watch that. that should be an interesting activity to partake in''#forgetting until it's too late that I have NEVER ONCE really enjoyed watching an opera lmfao #anyway yeah I sat through all of Pelléas et Mélisande and it was... fine.#dull and way too long like every opera is but the story was fine I guess #it was fun watching it with Lestat's ''Come to Me'' song in mind though because there definitely ARE parallels to their relationship #(if you kinda squint and look at it through Lestat's victim-tinted glasses lol)#... also YEAH I'm probably gonna read Memnoch soon WHAT OF IT #I can't be stopped I'm riding this vampire train straight into the abyss
