i grew up reading the romanian fantastic and the thing that makes interview with the vampire FUN to read in spite of anne being racist and xenophobic is the mythology and the way it suspends belief enough to where the books can be cohesively be seen as fantastical and narrative, as opposed to commentary on the real world. which is also why rolin jones should literally NOT tackle random shit he knows nothing about.

#i picked up miss cristina from a friend and like...#i bet you don't know but miss cristina is a short story about this sort of thing and it really made me think of #the straight magic #of a fictional vampire #like louis de pointe du lac isn't a fucking commentary on slavery on the south or on fucking romanian people #he's just a sad vampire man #sTOP GIVING SOCIAL COMMENTARY IN MY VAMPIRE GOTHIC NOVEL ROLIN #I DONT CARE #like i don't hate jacob anderson as an actor - i think he tries #but the whole idea of... the vampire chronicles giving social commentary #is so ironic to me #LIKE THE BOOKS ARE SO REMOVED FROM REALITY THERE'S LIKE TWO AND A HALF WOMEN IN THEM #the world in the vampire chronicles is one inaccessible to us and independent of like. concepts similar to ours.#it's like if succession tried to give racial commentary.#tHE CHARACTERS ARENT LIKE THAT OR MEANT TO DO THAT
