I feel like your fic explores this for Louis, but from what we’ve seen in the show and know from the books, how would you characterize show-Louis and Nicki’s different attitudes toward Lestat’s light, or how they love him?

Honestly, I think a huge part of it comes down to the fact that Louis never falls out of love with the light in Lestat in the way that Nicki does. They both love him and hate him, but I don't think Louis ever resents him in the way that Nicki does. That's not to say Louis doesn't (rightfully!) resent parts of Lestat, or get wounded or pissed off about the things that Lestat does - he literally kills him! - but I think Lestat's enamourment with the world around him, his generosity, and his endless ability to find a silver lining might frustrate Louis, but I don't think that's ever been the part of him that Louis wanted to kill.

I think Nicki's in love with Lestat, and I think he hates Lestat, but more than that, what becomes so clear in their break-up in the book is that Nicki resents him. Not things he does or traits he has, but the best parts of him. He talks about the creation of the theatre, then the money Lestat gives to starving children - knowing Lestat was a starving child once himself - and calls him 'a mindless beam of sunlight', and like - - GOD. Lestat is shallow. He's silly, and superficial in so many ways, but he's also deeply feeling, and full of intent, and compassion, and the idea of him being a 'mindless beam of sunlight' is so specific, but it always lands for me, and I just - -

Can't imagine Louis ever calling him that?

Louis does call him shallow, and he calls him stupid, and I think he probably believes that at points, but at the same time I don't think he doubts Lestat at his best. He didn't doubt Lestat's wide-eyed admiration with the soprano at the opera, he didn't doubt his generosity with the money for The Azaelia, I don't think he ever actually believed Lestat was involved in Paul's death, which I've talked about before. Lestat is an endless source of frustration for Louis, but Lestat is still the first person he turns to for advice, comfort, support, which is reiterated through Dreamstat, and even when Louis thinks Lestat was involved in the death of their daughter, he still remembers the light in Lestat as something good.

Nicki loved Lestat, but he didn't want the light in him, Nicki wanted to kill it.

He wanted to take Lestat from a town he'd never left, and he wanted them to die together in Paris. He wanted the world to crush Lestat like it had crushed him, and he hates that it doesn't. Like gosh, the line from the book - "You turned everything upside down! And for every aspect of our proposed damnation you found exuberance, and there was no end to your enthusiasms and the passion coming out of you - and the light, always the light!"

Nicki took them to Paris to die together, and the fact that Lestat survives it is, I think, the full-stop on their relationship. Lestat would not die for Nicki, but he died for Louis, yet Nicki wanted Lestat to die, and Louis tried to kill him only to save him. It's the love you'd bury vs the love you'll never stop digging back up, and sorry, that's just gothic romance, baby!

OK THIS IS NOT A FUCKING DRILL EVERYONE FUCKING REPEAT AFTER ME. THIS IS WHAT YOU WILL DO WHEN YOU WATCH MUPPET CHRISTMAS CAROL THIS YEAR:

You will navigate to the page on disney plus (and it has to be here. Unless someone has actually uploaded the REAL movie anywhere else you cannot get it elsewhere)

BUT YOU WILL NOT HIT PLAY. You won’t do it. Because it’s NOT THE REAL VERSION OF THE FILM AND DISNEY IS FUCKING LYING TO YOU AS IT ALWAYS DOES

You will scroll down HERE. To EXTRAS instead. You MUST GO HERE. This is non -negotiable

THEN YOU WILL SCROLL DOWN TO THE BOTTOM OF THE EXTRAS AND YOU WILL THEN HIT PLAY ON THIS BAD BOY: THE FULL LENGTH VERSION

And you will watch it. And you will thank me for having been so blind and led astray by that stupid fucking mouse. You’re welcome.

my favorite scene in all of literature is when Neil Josten wakes up in Columbia after being drugged, hurls an alarm clock at Aaron, dumps his water on the floor and throws the cup at Aaron, stuff his clothes down the toilet and squeezes out through the window, has the foresight to call Matt from a pay phone to protect his shit, hitch hikes back to campus, eyes back to brown?? shows up on Wymack’s door like 😜 and reveals he could speak German the whole time?? CHARACTER OF ALL TIME, that is a protagonist who knows how MOVE THE MFING PLOT ALONG

Small reminder that you should really download your favorite fics off of AO3. We are seeing mass censorships well as the chance that anything, such as another severe DDoS attack can shut down the site making works unaccessible and possibly lost for good.

If you do not know how to download fics, it is a simple 2-button click. I've written a tutorial here.

You think your stuff is safe until it's suddenly not, and then often times it's too late.

This post starts with AO3, (because it seems to be the common denominator across all users on this website /joking) but I recommend extending preservation efforts to anything online if you can manage to download it.

I'm not saying panic and start buying tons of storage devices to hold immense amounts of stuff. A cheap usb can hold plenty of things. You don't have to stop using services still available if it's more convenient to read books on your phone than to fill your backpack with 7 of them.

But you should still get (either buying or creating) physical versions because nothing is guarantee that it will remain forever. From shows being pulled from streaming services, to banned books, to losing access to digital copies of media because the service doesn't support it anymore, the account is lost, or the company goes under. This goes for messaging platforms as well. Your role-plays with your friends on discord can be lost forever, your photos can too.

This doesn't even include media most vulnerable to censorship and how quickly it can be removed, and quietly.

You think it will not happen to you, it will. Do not wait for unforeseen circumstances. Go back up and preserve what you can, your future self will be happy that you did.

Tim: Batman needs a Robin!

Dick: okay, then be Robin.

Tim: I-you can’t-

love how murph made up a guy and named them Baron from The Baronies for the bit because haha riz is too hyper focused on investigating and cool adventures to even care about romance and brennan went hey watch this and made a personification of the aro struggle of wondering if once your friends will fall in love they will just leave you behind once they no longer have a use for you because romantic relationships will always be above platonic in the social hierarchy.

and then brennan also went i äm yöurr römancë partnüürr rizzz gückkgaäackkk :3
