girl help i’m going insane thinking about iwtv and black sails parallels. everything is a story you can’t trust anyone’s words. memory is a monster it remembers you don’t. a story is true a story is untrue as time extends it matters less and less. there is no corroboration of louis and armand’s stories about claudia in season 2, the same way there is no corroboration of silver’s story of what happened to flint. can we trust armand’s story of how she died? can we trust silver’s story of how flint didn’t die? will we ever know the truth? is there such a thing as the truth? was it raining louis?

#black sails #interview with the vampire #i was rambling about this to my roommate last night (trying not to spoil black sails bc we are 3 eps in) ITS HAUNTING ME #i loveeee an unreliable narrator i love when there is no way of telling what the truth is. can we trust a word out of anyone’s mouth?#the odyssey of recollection…..#ALSO THE FULL CONFORMATION THAT LOUIS DID NOT REMEMBER EVERYTHING CORRECTLY #him admitting he was wrong about claudia’s turning??? but then also of course how much do we believe him either time. what does he want out #of this truly. but also the transparency that they are playing with the truth here UGHHHH
