I feel like many people have a fundamental misconception of what unreliable narrator means. It's simply a narrative vehicle not a character flaw or a sign that the character is a bad person. There are also many different types of unreliable narrators in fiction. Being an unreliable narrator doesn't necessarily mean that the character is 'wrong', it definitely doesn't mean that they're wrong about everything even if some aspects in their story are inaccurate, and only some unreliable narrators actively and consciously lie. Stories that have unreliable narrators also tend to deal with perception and memory and they often don't even have one objective truth, just different versions. It reflects real life where we know human memory is highly unreliable and vague and people can interpret same events very differently

don’t get how you can watch iwtv and be a sincere diehard lestat hater. like the world’s biggest lestat hater is louis and that man can’t even commit to it for more than five minutes before literally hallucinating lestat wearing a wedding ring and talking pretty to him. this show is about louis and every road leads back to lestat for that man

something i thought would be interesting... the 'lestat call' from 2.05 but with the main audio channel isolated so you can't hear lestat's voice. so what it was like from louis' POV really

“I was the leader of my coven!” “No. You were the slave of Marius and then of the Children of Darkness. You fell under the spell of one and then the other. What you suffer now is the absence of a spell. I think I shudder that you caused me so to understand it for a little while, to know it as if I were a different being than I am.” “Doesn’t matter,” he said, eyes still on the fire. “You think too much in terms of decision and action. This tale is no explanation. And I am not a being who requires a respectful acknowledgment in your thoughts or in words. And we all know the answer you have given is too immense to be voiced and we all three of us know that it is final. What I don’t know is why. So I am a creature very different from you, and so you cannot understand me. Why can’t I go with you? I will do whatever you wish if you take me with you. I will be under your spell.” —THE VAMPIRE LESTAT

The thing for me is that Marius won’t let Armand have anything. Oh, Riccardo is your best friend? Let me whip him in front of you. Oh, you’re having an affair with someone other than me? Let me shun you and shame you for it. Oh, you met Lestat and he permanently changed who you are as a person and how you see the world? Yeah, he’s daddy’s favorite princess now. Oh you made your first fledgling? I think I’ll keep him for 50 years. Oh, you finally formed a meaningful and loving relationship with two humans and succeeded in not turning them into vampires? Well you see….
UGGGHHGGGGGGHH!1!!1!1!11!!!!

Horrific psychological abuse and lynching plot aside, Armand was just not a nice partner to Louis. Always interrupting him, extremely dismissive of Louis’s concerns, super mean about his photography to the point where Louis became extremely insecure about in the span of 2 episodes, super insistent on a serious relationship when that's not what Louis wanted or something that was even feasible for the two of them since Armand slept on the floor with 16 racist roommates who hated Louis bad, mean as hell to his daughter, always made things about himself, stopped Louis from going to Rogets and gwtting his husbands money but had no money of his own, made shitty plays and made louis go see them, like the list is endless.

The status I enjoyed in Storyville did not extend itself to the operators and patrons of the French Opera House on Bourbon and Toulouse. We did what we always did to avoid conflicts there. I performed as his valet, walked a pace behind him, took his overcoat once we found our seats, remained standing in the back of the box until the lights went down, and only joined next to him once the overture had begun.

I will say: it is a testament to Delainey Hayles, the show writers, the other actors, and even the original book itself, that Claudia's death was THIS gutwrenching for us all, despite having originally being written & published almost 50 years ago.

Like, I knew this was coming. I first the read the book twenty years ago. I've seen the film adaptation. Lots of people who watch the show have. And yet it feels like we're all still in collective mourning all the same, and that's powerful.

i know we talk about chuck chair armand but have we ever talked about daniel not really being that into it? like all daniel wants is armand and yet he sleeps with these people armand brings back and why? if he doesn't enjoy it, why do it? i think daniel sleeps with these people to please armand because he believes that it's what armand wants but what armand wants is daniel. i think, in some sick twisted way, armand is echoing his relationship with marius.

saying louis could never forgive armand for claudia is fair and valid and true. saying lestat could never forgive him is crazy and shows a complete misunderstanding of those two’s relationship. did you see how casually they had that vampire phone call in san fransisco? how easily and naturally lestat responded to armand’s call? as if no time at all had passed between them? as if they kept in touch regularly?

It’s not that Louis doesn’t have at least some amount of a natural dominant side tbh I think it’s that his natural dominant style is both not necessarily that aggressively forceful and is also wayyyy more predisposed to dealing with brattiness. And then Armand is making big wet eyes going “of course maitre whatever you say maitre I would never disobey you maitre” and Louis is like ://// (but also ofc would never attempt to communicate this bc god forbid)

I’m sorry but I need Armand’s perspective on what the fuck happened in that apartment. There’s just too much shit that does not add up without it.

The camera slowly panning to Lestat when Louis says "if you were the last vampire on earth, it would be enough" does NOT mean he's talking to Lestat, instead of Claudia
He IS talking to Claudia. and that makes it so much sadder because he beleives it when he tells her. and he WANTS it to be true so so bad. The camera panning to Lestat shows that it will never be true. No matter how much he or Claudia wants it to be true, Lestat will always be there, if not in body then in Louis' mind. And if not Lestat then someone else (read: Armand).
And the worst part? Claudia definitely knows this. That's why she didn't say anything. That's why she looked away. Because as he said that, Lestat was present in his mind. And Claudia most definitely could sense it bc Louis is shit at blocking his thoughts.
