Hey I saw your post about iwtv turning fails and just wondering if you wud be willing to expand more on that, what the root of the problem is and how Louis solves it? Sorry I don't wanna read the books but the lore is so interesting

Hey!

Soooo this is likely a huge spoiler for the later books and likely the show, too. Fair warning;))

In real short:

In the later books Amel, the spirit that propels them and initially made them vampires (through a fusion with Akasha) wakes. He is in agony, spread too thin, and he makes vampires burn others to “thin their ranks“. While he is spread too thin turnings fail, as one of the symptoms.

Louis, in the books, recognizes what is different for him than for the others wrt to this spirit - he is “disconnected“ from the web because of his suicide attempt in Merrick (which is also why that suicide attempt is so important, not only for Louis‘ personal development (and it is!) but also because it does disconnect him).

He suggests the theory of “the silver cord“ (remember the “cord“ comment in ep7?^^) - and also a way to sever the cords for all vampires.

They manage it by temporarily halting Lestat‘s heart (who carries the core at that point) and everyone (except Lestat) gets disconnected.

Afterwards the existing vampires all have their own… piece, or copy of spirit tendril, so to speak, and can successfully turn again.

I‘m not sure how exactly they will implement all this in the show (since they‘ll likely omit the replimoids I think), but I am pretty sure they will go there.

There have been quite a lot of hints already, and also re Amel‘s awakening, imho, of which we might have seen something in ep5 (Lestat says “I don’t know what possessed me that night“) since Amel‘s awakening is a violent one and he is drawn to blood and violence - and loves to look at Louis through Lestat‘s eyes.

We‘ll see ;)

But there’s actually quite a lot hinted at already, and I bet when we‘ll rewatch in a few years we’ll all playfully groan bc it was alllllll set up ^^

Some Scripts of Sidney Howard

We’ve had numerous occasions to mention playwright and screenwriter Sidney Howard (1891-1939) on Travalanche. Today he is best remembered as the principal screenwriter of Gone With the Wind. He won an Oscar for that script. It was received posthumously, as Howard had died in a tractor accident on his farm prior to the event. Gone with the Wind, indeed! He also adapted two Sinclair Lewis novels…

here's my vocal resume lol. i can also contribute professional-level mixing/mastering as that's what i'm college trained for but you'd have to pay me for that part 👍

i know this is maybe a weird thing to ask but can i provide backing vocals/harmony if you keep working on the silver cord? i can give you vocal examples if you like. or you can say no and that is fine too 👍

omg yes of course!!! this goes for everyone actually, if any of you want to collab on gizz covers me and bennie would be thrilled. you dont have to have any fancy equipment, we're just recording these on an iphone mic to be so honest hahaha. silver cord might be a little while away because we have like 3 others in the works currently but i'll let you know if/when we get started on it :]

Do you think we're going to learn that the ''vampire-bond'' is all fake? It was just Louis not wanting to face his true feelings. Claudia doesn't seems to be affected by that,I wouldn't be surprised if it was an invention from either Lestat or Louis.

No.

Because while the "vampire bond" is different than it may be in other vampire media (Louis is not shackled by it, neither is Claudia, etc), it is very much real nonetheless.

Both the direct bond between maker and fledgling manifests itself (by mental interference for example, which makes it impossible for these two to hear each other with the mind gift), but also there is the "silver cord", which will be a plot point in the later books. (I talked about this here and here).

So no, it's very much real.

Just not... as you probably think of it.^^
