#it's only the date they were looking for wrt the cars that throws my a bit off wrt that

[cbrownjc]

Can I also throw out another possibility?

The hug might be from the reunion between them from toward the end of The Vampire Lestat.

Now, granted, that would mean that:

Rockstar Lestat happened in the past, probably in the 1980s still. And that,

Louis going to the Moss House would have to have occurred way before the year 2000. Like, at least before 1985 or thereabouts. Or, his going there might actually be about something else altogether.

For the first point, I've always felt that Lestat's rockstar career already happened in the past. And that the setup for it would be quite easy to do IMO, even without the ITWV book having not been published. And that it just makes more sense to me for it to have still happened back in the 1980s instead of happening in the present day.

But what you said here about the jacket Lestat is wearing in the hug scene is what just made it click for me that this very well could be from when Lestat and Louis finally met again during Lestat's rock career; which he not only did to try and protect Louis but to find Louis again as well. Because that jacket looks pretty new-ish and, as you said, modern. Not worn, old, or threadbare, which is what I would more expect from a Lestat living in an old moss-covered shack.

Now, as to the second point, I'm not going to pretend that I know a lot about cars. But is there any possible way that by at least getting cars from before 2000, they could fudge the exterior shots a bit, to at least make it look like Louis is there in the late-70s or even the very early 1980s looking for Lestat? And, if not, then maybe Louis goes to that house for another reason than to look for Lestat which, whatever it may be, becomes the reason why he stops trying to feed on humans in the year 2000? I honestly don't have any idea why or what that could be, but . . .

Anyway, I do agree with you 100% that the scene isn't Louis and Lestat reuniting in the present day with him having left Dubai. For the simple reason that, unless the show is going to break its own setup with this that it established in Season 1, all the present-day scenes are seen from Daniel's POV. If Daniel isn't around for it in 2022, then we, the audience, don't see it. So for that scene to be Louis and Lestat reuniting in the present, with Louis having left Dubai to go find him then, as the show has currently set it up, Daniel would have had to go with him. And I really don't think that is the case here.

So yeah, at the moment, I think that hug is from the Rockstar era, which still happened in the 1980s, just like in the book. And that note about the jacket, and the style of it, is what clicks it, at least for me.

Heeey , Nalyra !!! If Louis's suicide scene occurs, how would it work with that scene where he hugs Lestat, possibly in NOLA? I'm confused . Would the suicide event occur before or after the meeting in NOLA?

Hello dear!

The suicide attempt will likely be the cliffhanger of season 2. IF they go there. So that will be modern Dubai.

The hug...

It could be NOLA, yes, if it is, then it's likely the disputed-to-have-never-happened-in-the-books scene... and if that is it then I think that is in the year 2000. (They were looking for trucks for the street which are older than that, which was interesting.)

So it would be after the NOLA meeting.

I do not think we will get a full Loustat reunion this season, at least not in the sense of the word.

But, of course, Lestat has to show up somehow for season 3. :)

If that hug is not NOLA though then I take it for an hallucination.

Possibly during the travels.

Because Louis will miss Lestat, terribly.

That said: However, while I was making the gif I noticed the jacket (and therefore threw a screenshot into the editor):

That is a floral pattern on a jacket.

I have a coat by Desigual that has something like that, too, here is a similar one:

Now, we know Carol Cutshall is on top of her game (and I am no expert), but that jacket calls back to "velvet jacket / court cut / pattern" for me. In the books Lestat would wear red velvet, but we know Sam likes black, and I mean...

I think that's modern day (or at least closer to modern day) Lestat.

So. I'm staying with NOLA (for now), though... I mean... could be... like... the possibility is there... 👀

IF they're not mean and do a cliffhanger again.

And I am quite afraid they are that mean *laughs*

[the1312daysofchristmas]

hey dils!! was listening to sunshine riptide and thought of u so i wanted to say i hope ur taking care and also ask if u have any favorite fob videos/interviews?? lately i have been obsessed w the promo video patrick did for the honda civic tour where he drove around LA and said the only reason they got the tour was because he already drove a civic ahsjdbd

first of all it is SO flattering that listening to sunshine riptide made you think of me 🥺

secondly i was molded out of clay to answer this question, 100% i have a lot that i think about like way too often

the one where petes giving a tour of his parents house where he lived at the time and was showing off his stuff and was particularly very excited about the fact that his band was turned into action figures and then half way through andy shows up and is like "were best friends forever!" and petes like "yeah andy comes over for sleepovers a lot, we hang out in my basement and make zines and stuff" and then at the end he gets all excited cuz he hears his moms car pull up and he goes out and shes coming out of the car and then patrick gets out of the car carrying groceries and petes like "here mom me and patrick can put the groceries away you finish the interview" and shes like "no- pete i just got home from work im a mess" and hes like "what? no! no mom you look great, you can finish the interview well take in the groceries" and then she did and the camera crew came back to the two of them messing around and putting groceries away.

"pete wentz is honestly the only way to describe pete wentz. hes the most complicated guy i know." [cut to] "if anyone can make a strike without touching the lane i will pay you $300" *throws bowling balls straight into the air* *runs down the lane*

ok but in all seriousness i love that interview not only for that iconic moment but because later the footage is like blaring i dont care and pete goes and grabs a stuffed giraffe out of the prize thingie and hes like "what do you mean :)? we bought this with our tickets!!" and the editors are very much trying to make it a bad boy rebel without a cause moment except if you looked the woman behind the counter had a smile on her face and was laughing and then afterwards he gave it back and said "we werent really gonna steal it" but it really seemed like she knew that already

and then at a different point a couple fans showed up and they were all shy and excited to meet him and he was just like "hey are you guys coming to the show later" and they were like "yeah" and he was like "cool! thanks for coming out :) do you want a picture?" and they took a picture and it seemed like he was still kinda excited that people were excited to meet him. marcus (their bodyguard) was like trailing behind him and smiling and laughing throughout most of these antics and i just think thats sweet.

later in this same interview once again as they were on the ride back to their hotel or whatever theyd brought back a fake moustache and patrick put it on and did a bunch of dumb impressions.

patrick: if i wasnt doing music i think id be like a music critic or music journalist or something

andy:...i thought you said youd work at walmart

theres this one srar era interview thats just joe and patrick riffing for like 15 minutes. like it looks like they just straight up forgot the interviewer was there its so funny theyre such good friends.

this one joe and pete interview where i dont even really remember what they were talking about but theres a moment where joes talking about music with this intense passion and pete just kinda looks at him with this level of brotherly pride that keeps me going

this one andy and pete interview where 1) there were waterfowl chillin behind them which was deeply fascinating to andy and 2) they took a moment to swivel their chairs and hug each other bc theyre besties

band superlatives, specifically the moment where theyre all separately like "technically marcus isnt in the band but like. its marcus." bc that was sweet, unofficial 5th member of fob. and also "whos the most talented" "patrick. patrick. its patrick, hands down." "hm. petes like a really good soccer player" like thats a moment out of a fucking sitcom

halloween asmr with pete wentz. the man cant act but god can he commit to a bit.

there was this like live text chat that they all were in with fans on some radio station website. there were a lot of very fun moments, including joe saying "this is very current technology." as a comment on how very dated the live chat was and andy being like "can we set an icon i wanna change mine to an XVX" and pete and joe being like "oh are you vegan straight edge? we had no idea." and then pete was like "actually i wanna change my icon to andy hurley" and andy was like "no pete im not gonna send you a picture of me" and he was like :( and then a minute later he changed it to andy and he was like, and i swear this is almost a direct quote "BOOM! i love my life haha" and andy was like "goddammit" like i have no idea where to find this but it was so good.

theres this one "this or that" interview with joe and andy wherein the interviewer was a woman and like she seemed pretty at ease around them and got to the last question and imo seemed kinda uncomfortable and kind of established (in a way that seemed like she didnt usually do that) that it was a gross question, which was "would you have sex with a super hot celebrity but shes just died" and both of them were like "hey. what the fuck. absolutely not." and shes like "oh thats a first" and they are both like "do people say yes to that????????" and shes like "youre literally the first people to say no haha" in a way that made it seem that she did not find it funny and i just find that to be an interesting moment and i hope shes doing well and has a better producer now.

theres this one interview w andy on a hardcore podcast where the interviewer asks andy "do you every wish fall out boy were more political?" and he said (paraphrasing) "fall out boy is political, in its own way. we may not be as explicit with our politics as my other stuff, but kids find fall out boy, and through me, with all my other bands, or through joe, since he does a lot of metal, find heavier stuff, and are introduced to this stuff and to being vegan straight edge or anarchist or just more radical politics, and i dont think that just because we arent being super political in our music we arent a political band" which was really something to me bc i had just been thinking about that as a concept i call "gateway punk"

theres this one interview i recently found of a very small chicago music news outlet where a young lady interviewed pete and asked far more interesting questions than any other interviewer id ever seen and one such question was how he felt about the legalization of marijuana in illinois and he said that it was cool that it was legal but everyone locked up for it right now should be released and i like that he got to be political

theres a moment on the badass jew podcast episode joe was on where the interviewer whomst i do not recall was espousing some veiled antiblack sentiments wrt some antisemitic comments some famous black people had made and joe just completely rebutted it immediately and pointed out that black people not only are not a monolith bht are at a greater disadvantage

and also he made a joke that i could never make and cant fully get bc im not jewish but it was very funny and i love hearing people make jokes that arent for me.

this one interview before patrick had kids where he was saying how everyone kept asking him and elisa when theyd have kids and he was like "you cant just make that happen yknow? how do you just do that?" and pete immediately grinned and leaned over and mock whispered "you have sex" and patrick punched the air and was like "i hate you so much"

that one interview about abap where pete was like "we actually got the guy who did the whistles on patience by guns n roses to do it on this" and then he looks over at patrick and patrick shakes his head and petes like "you couldnt let me have this?" and he was like "i was gonna but then you looked at me and i just couldnt."

"whats the most important thing to you right now?"

patrick: star wars

joe: my daughter.

patrick: ...my son?

the puppy interview. everyone involved including the puppies was having the time of their goddamn life.

i have to stop this is too much its been like an hour

The Obros funny scene and pillow fight 😂😂

Gauri questioning Omkara, if he would have forgiven her if she had done all that, he did + tearing off the dupatta at the temple, and telling Omkara to GTFO. (the point at which Rikara story should have ended, with their separation, because Om’s redemption is not possible).

Annika and Gauri sleeping together like old times after the AniRi reunion. 😭😭

Omkara gifting Gauri the trophy saying ‘you are my hero’. The context was stupid, but I’m all here for Omkie Shomkie stating the facts. 

The AniRi scenes from redux  

Yeah, I can’t remember anymore and I’m exhausted. I’m sure there are others, but my memory is hazy now. Do we have any in common, anon?
