A new play for you and the ladies.

[laniidae-passerine]

don’t get how you can watch iwtv and be a sincere diehard lestat hater. like the world’s biggest lestat hater is louis and that man can’t even commit to it for more than five minutes before literally hallucinating lestat wearing a wedding ring and talking pretty to him. this show is about louis and every road leads back to lestat for that man

[platoapproved]

Well, you don't talk about your mother very much.

Claudia is ready to ask the hard-hitting questions.

[jaggedjot]

There is a deep rooted bitterness underneath Claudia’s immediately infamous “two blood fat cocks slapping hands” line. After having spent more than a cumulative decade of her life searching for another vampire and being met with nothing but silence or pain, Claudia was welcomed by more than a dozen in one night, only to then be told by Louis that she should not see them again. It must reignite the resentment Claudia felt towards Louis’ open pessimism and misery while they travelled through Eastern Europe. The purposeful crudeness of the line, a sudden sour note after her teasing Louis’ fear “of your own lust”, suggests her frustration at being unable to fulfil her sexual desires. The disagreement the pair have in this scene about the significance of Lestat’s portrait reflects the larger rift in their relationship over Louis’ unwillingness to move past Lestat (“He's a hundred-and-something-year-old painting in a frame.” “They got a fսcking shrine to him!”). Claudia’s life was forcibly shaped time and time again to better serve Louis and Lestat’s love for each other; turned into a vampire so that they could repair their relationship, intimidated and hurt when she encouraged Louis to leave Lestat, made prisoner by Lestat ostensibly for Louis’ welfare, and now the memory of that relationship threatens her newfound kinship. It is galling enough that her long awaited introduction to a vampire community comes as an afterthought tacked onto Louis’ hand delivered invitation (“Come. And bring the petite beauty with you.”, “Monsieur de Pointe du Lac. Our finest seats.”), but the realisation that even that was determined by another man’s attraction to Louis has to be beyond infuriating.

happy father’s day to the worst fathers ever ♥️

Just a quick reminder than in the Devil's Minion chapter, we are told that Armand shaves Daniel and gives him baths when Daniel is too tired and takes care of him <3

louis knew he had to give claudia her weird little white lady because correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t he fall in love with a weird little white man…oh ok

[camaelczarka]

The unholy family tree is fucking funny because it’s like the human side of it is Lestat and Louis as adoptive fathers to Claudia and the vampire side of it is like Lestat is the single progenitor of Gabrielle, Nicki, Louis, Claudia, Antoinette etc. The visual is hilarious tbh
