Some days you just need to listen to S. E. all day long, even if it means you get nothing else done. A day spent with Rogie is a day not wasted!

im not american so as a result i thought that the counting thing was “one mrs sippy two mrs sippy.” i’m not quite sure when i realised that it was the american state.

Bad day can be a good day if you let it (sometimes you have to step away to breathe, to see)

The Great Flood of 1924 or 1927?aka, a bored trivia post

s1e05 has become the boogeyman of this fanbase for events that largely occur toward the very end of it, but the flood that leads to claudia’s makeshift burials being exposed is very fascinating in terms of chronology. it speaks to how amc iwtv only slightly shifts around history to situate its immortal characters deeply within the environment of a city thats largely viewed by many, including the source material itself, as an ahistorical pleasure garden with no past or present worth caring about.

from @diasdelfuego’s s1 timeline, we have already seen an example of how the show moves with its environment, altering the release date/place of jelly roll morton’s wolverine blues from 1923 indiana to 1917 new orleans [and it be a record the fictional lestat played a role in creating — lestat aiding in a notorious trickster’s story, one of the most oblique lies on louis’s end to make lestat look more sympathetic or one of the funniest historical movearounds on the showrunners’ end, who knows].

this great flood that brings the living situation in rue royale to a head for claudia is another one of them. when lestat and louis read claudia’s diaries, they discover how shes kept careful record of the people shes buried, killed, and mutilated. they interrogate her to ask where the bodies are, and only toward the end of the confrontation does she reveal where she buried them all.

LOUIS: Where are the bodies?

CLAUDIA: Chalmette. Now get out of my room!

LOUIS: Chalmette's three feet below the river line—

CLAUDIA: So what, get out of my room!

LOUIS: What happens when the next storm comes out the Gulf?

and sequenced near immediately, in classic amc iwtv didactic fashion, the next storm comes out the gulf and unburies the bodies claudia buried on very low-lying ground.

now, temporarily exiting the show and into reality, the true flood of southern louisiana in this period occurred in 1927, when the missisippi river valley experienced heavy rainfall.

where disaster stops, and where segregationist city engineers enter, is that bankers and business leaders in new orleans lobbied the governor to intentionally broke the levee outside of new orleans proper, and so he did, ensuring that the city itself would not be flooded, but flooded out much of the low-lying areas in st. bernard parish. remember chalmette? it is in st. bernard parish.

the subsequent conversation lestat + louis have with tom anderson confirm this even more, with tom describing the number of bodies, the 56 ‘floaters’ from the ninth ward [a neighborhood in new orleans that borders chalmette], all people who have been mutilated in some fashion.

tom anderson notes this as well:

Most of the poor fools they hooked out of the bayou are former inhabitants of the Quarter, so don't be too startled if the police come knockin' on your door.

indicating that most of the people claudia killed, mutilated, and buried there were the wealthy, white neighbors of the rue royale mansion and not residents of low-lying parishes that were seen as fodder by the state of louisiana. now why didnt lestat, who was able to hypnotize an entire room of soldiers in episode 3, hypnotize the 3-4 officers that came to inspect their mansion? questions, questions… (that have very obvious answers but are secondary to this post)

referring back to the s1 timeline linked, this great flood of 1927 was either moved up to 1924, matching the decision to move up + alter the creation of the wolverine blues in episode 3 for narrative reasons, and/or refers to the odyssey of recollection, aka., how keeping exact dates and recalling the numerous historical events u have lived under after 145 or so years of misery become difficult. this post is just a fun little trivia bit + something i found to be interesting

thinking about The Characters again. i'm going to drive a cybertruck into the missisippi river

[its-been-rose]

I just think it’s funny how Kiler Frequency takes place in 1987 and NOT 1988, a much more thematically appropriate year for the game to take place. Having it take place in 1987 means that it is the 19th anniversary of George’s death, not the 20th. Realistically it was chosen cuz 1987 is a banger ass year and has such vibes but like I’m just imagining Marie sitting wherever they live (I imagine it to be either be like Oregon or Washington or California or somewhere quite far away since Clive said that the murders literally spread across the entire country and we know GC is somewhere near Chicago but west of the missisippi because the K radio call sign in KFAM means that they’re west of the missisippi river. If I had to guess it’s probably in Iowa. Is it ever confirmed what state they’re in?) and just going “fuck it, I can’t wait another year. HENRY, HONEY GET IN THE CAR WE’RE GONNA GET THOSE SONS OF BITCHES”

how are the southern states (minus texas, so louisiana, missisippi, alabama, tennessee, and North & South Carolina) doing?

texas and florida are holding soviet back at gunpoint like you said, but does he have any power in the other southern states? does the strength of his control depend on the harshness of the climate?

sorry for the paragraph of an ask lol (ᵕ—ᴗ—)

Hey I don’t mind longer asks!! :)

The south has been hard for me to categorize. Soviet certainly isn’t used to the weather there. So his push forward had been slow.

I want to say that the southern states are the least susceptible to Soviet influence (despite being under Soviet rule) solely because Soviet hates swamps. A lot. They scare him.

I’d imagine they all give him a lot of headache because to me, the Southern states have always been the MOST anti-communist (for better or for worse) of the states.

So… to answer your question, yeah, the strength of Soviet influence is very dependent on climate. It doesn’t mean you’re safe if you’re hot (temperature-wise) because Soviet’s control over states like Arizona, Nevada, and California is strong. It also helps that Soviet forces would have to move through a hostile Midwest, or a hostile rest-of-Europe to actually get to the southeast. It’s more of a chore than it’s worth. The only reason Soviet keeps pushing is to try and quash rebellion
