“Do battle with Sam Reid.” Like Rolin really said Sam and Jacob are the standard all other actors have to meet in order to be cast. And the fact they’ve already written for Nicki, I literally can’t wait for season 3.

*taps mic* is this thing on? Yeah okay so every vampire in the vampire chronicles is turned at critical a moment in their lives and beyond just the body they are in when they are turned, their mentality stays at that standstill for their entire immortality, Lestat was turned against his will, he was clinging onto Magnus begging him to be freed, so he’s constantly seeking freedom and only finding loneliness and thus turning back to people again and again, however he can’t STAND being told what to do, since he desires agency in his life so desperately, Armand was turned after years and years of abuse and lack of control but such a desire for genuine love, by a man he ‘loved’ so wholly who he felt was barring his love from him, he needs control in his life, he needs a ‘master’ but he does not desire it, it does not fulfill him, he is trapped in a room but the door is unlocked! Louis was mourning his brother, he felt like an utter failure and so he’s always seeking family, seeking people he can care for, he can coddle, he can prove he is good too, but he loves people who either cannot stand coddeling and need a sense of looseness to live (Lestat) or people who grow out of coddling who prove to Louis he will always fail the people he loves (Claudia), Claudias turning, in many MANY ways mirrors lestats in that it was against her will, she was stolen from her home, and in her immortality she desires freedom but unlike Lestat does not have the agency/ form to get it, she will always be small, she will always be looked down on, even by Lestat who cannot deny how much she is just like him *taps mic* ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME!! NONE OF THEM CAN BREAK THE CYCLE!!! TO BREAK IT WOULD BE TO UNDO THE VERY FIBER OF THEIR IMMORTAL SELVES!! THE CYCLE IS THE BLOOD THEY DRINK IT IS THE HEART IN THEIR CHEST AND IT ROLLS AND ROLLS DOWN THE MOUNTAINS AND VALLEYS OF THEIR LOVE FOR EACH OTHER AND IT CAN NEVER BE STOPPED BECAUSE THEY WILL NEVER STOP LOVING EACH OTHER!!!!!!!!!!!!

WITHIN 30 SECONDS, THE FINALE CHOOSES VIOLENCE

just found a potential Nicki depiction while strolling in the Louvre 🤝

also definitely not me caring more about the Adoration of the Shepherds than the Mona Lisa 😭 this is what one would call ✨addiction✨, right?

"louistat is the best lestat ship!" "no, it's lesmand" "no, it's davidstat" lestat and nicholas were each other's first best friend and first love. think about the countless hours they spent talking nonsense to each other, because they were the only ones who understood. even when they fought, it was all put behind with a kiss. nicki's violin calming lestat from a panic attack. they ran away to paris together with nothing but the will to prove their parents wrong. they lived on the streets, surviving with tips, but they didn't care. they started living in a bad house in a bad neighborhood. but they didn't care because they drank wine and slept together every night. lestat wanted distance from nicki when he became a vampire, so he wouldn't hurt him. as soon as lestat got the money from magnus castle, he gave nicki a shit ton of money, a new house, violin classes, and a new expensive violin. but nicki didn't care because all he could think of was if lestat was well or not. lestat didn't care about armand and the coven, but went there as soon as he knew nicki was being held captive. armand was jealous of the love lestat gave to nicki. lestat transformed nicki into a vampire because he was too afraid to lose him. even when they weren't in speaking terms, lestat gave nicki the theater of vampires. lestat went under the dirt when he knew nicki killed himself. he went under the dirt with the violin he gave nicki. the first reason lestat fell for louis and antoine (maybe even quinn) was because they remembered nicki, both in appearance and personality. hell, he made antoine into a nicki carbon copy. lestat never forgot nicholas. there will always be, playing in the back of his mind, the sound of nicholas violin.

i talk a lot about the absolute horror that daniel went through in s2ep5 and how, all twink and gay jokes aside, just imagining that night and the 5 subsequent others from his perspective is CHILLING. but the other night i was thinking about nicki, and how his entire life was pretty much an absolute horror story, complete with the idyllic happy relationship at the start that completely dissolves into horror.

think about it, one morning you wake up and your boyfriend is just GONE. the only trace of him is the open window and the bedsheets thrown back. you wonder, what the fuck happened? did he leave me? surely not, we're on like, the third story? but the door is still locked... is he dead? your friends tell you not to worry, and that this is just lestat, especially when a few weeks later lavish gifts sent in his name arrive for you and your friends. they take it at face value and suggest he just got bored, as he so often does, but something just isnt right. and to make matters worse, you feel haunted by him, by his presence, you can up and down SWEAR you keep seeing him around.

and then one day he returns, and hes fine...? and everyone is so happy to see him but hes a bit. weird. and they push him out on the stage and the next thing you know the audience is fleeing and your ears are ringing. you cant make heads or tails of this, so you follow him as he runs into a box, only to see him get shot. your ears are still ringing but youre pretty sure you screamed, and he didnt even flinch. he just stands there, like a walking corpse, and smokes vaguely from the wound. and then hes gone again, and youre still not convinced it wasnt a horrible dream, still not convinced youre not being haunted by a vengeful spirit in the shape of someone you loved.

well maybe you could get passed that. (not really). but maybe. maybe your life could possibly return to some sense or normality, shrouded by grief but nothing that you cant recover from. and then something worse, YES, WORSE! happens. something beyond nightmares. something passed describing. as youre taken kicking and screaming by a horde of... what even are they??? corpses??? husks??? suddenly this starts to make a little bit of sense, in the way that you were trying to be reasonable about this entire situation, and theres absolutely nothing reasonable or sane about it in the first place. and your boyfriend is, predictably, at the centre of it (because he always is) and now whatever hes got up to, whatever supernatural fucked up bullshit hes been dealing with, has started spilling over into your life and may just be the cause of your death.

well finally, after that fuzzy but harrowing ordeal, he takes you... home? to a dark and cold stone tower on the edge of paris? and holds you and talks to you and you think he still loves you, you think he thinks nothing has changed and that youre fine and this is fine and everythings fine, and that just pisses you off. but he holds you and talks to you and maybe you nod and agree with something. maybe you shouldntve, because then shit gets WEIRD and after everything, EVERYTHING youve been through your emotions start to spill over, and youre a vampire now, and you didnt really want to be, oh and vampires are real, and you didnt want any of this, you wanted to play violin in the theatre with your boyfriend, but now everythings fucked and youre the tragedy of a gothic horror. youre the tragic waste, you were doomed from the start, from the moment you stepped foot in paris or picked up that violin, it was already over.

and sure enough, after misery and torture and more misery and madness, long after youve accepted your position, accepted his, you make up your mind and seek out ways to bring the immortal to mortality. maybe you can finally find peace in this insanity. and the only way to do that is to leap into your own funeral pyre.

the most annoying part of the social media response to Nosferatu (2024) is having to deal with the same tired, recycled, boring discourse that we’ve ALREADY HAD about Interview With The Vampire (2022-), Hannibal (2013-2015), The Phantom of the Opera (2004 film and previously stage), Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997-2001), IWTV (1994 film) -

like, I’m going to say this from the bottom of my heart: if what you want in your heart is a wholesome sweet monster romance, The Shape of Water (2017) is right there and delightful. You do not have to force yourself to engage with gothic/horror media that you know you won’t enjoy - and doing so on purpose in order to demonize it, ignore all inherent nuance of the genre in favour of severely reductionist virtue signalling takes, and pearl-clutch about the people who did like the story is deeply, severely unhealthy. there are other things out there for you, and this is not one of them

“Please let him live, please my love. Please, please, please…”

“… I can offer only time”

“Please I’ll be anything. Please please please please please please please please…”

“… you will regret this for the rest of your life”

Lestat and Rio, powerful beings with a temper and a mania for theatrics, who fell in love so hard that they ended up defying the laws of nature to give their lover a child, but also ultimately being the last ones to see that child alive. Lestat and Rio, whose love and jealousy and empathy and protectiveness are so deep, but who are fully convinced that their beloved hates them.

Louis and Agatha, powerful and arrogant and cunning but also gentle, hiding behind a mask that will protect them from a world that hates them, hardened by time. Louis and Agatha, who love their beloved so deeply but never managed to fully express the magnitude of their love, and who end up resenting their lover for the fate of their child.

Claudia and Nicholas, doomed to die from the start, whose new life was given by a parent, and whose affections were given by the other, but whose lives were never meant to last, as they were never meant to live in the first place. Claudia and Nicholas, haunting the narrative centuries after their death, whose fate is universally masked by a lie.
