I don’t even fuck with Anne Rice as a writer but even I can respect that she wrote the book as a way to deal her grief as a mother and used the character of Louis as a conduit for her feelings of motherhood and the loss of a child so it’s insane to me that these cunty mother Lestat bitches who worship her books refuse to respect what was an essential aspect of her writing. Like I don’t even respect her as a person but I do respect her grief in losing her daughter and what the story was meant to help her deal with. I truly do not care if your mom was mean like Lestat like your fucking childhood is not the story we’re talking about.
And in the show’s context where they’ve made Lestat even more of a patriarch, enhanced his powers and made him 200 years older, put him in the most father knows best situations known to man, made him wear like 4 different wifebeaters, and explicitly called Louis the wife multiple times.. and yet you’re still that dumb, racist or both. I have no clue if this cunty mother shit was a thing before the show but it sounds an awful lot like they became louder and more obnoxious once Louis was black.
#iwtv#interview with the vampire#waiting for the day when lestat goes bald so these people stfu#also if you cannot emphathize with black characters and have to project your own femininity onto the white patriarch abuser#maybe this adaptation isn’t for you#maybe you need to stick to white Louis in the books#since you’re incapable of engaging with black characters except in a superficial manner#I have more respect for book only fans at this point#at these they are self aware enough to not inflict us with their bad show takes
