No Because I'll Be Having A Good Day And Then Remember Armand Turned Daniel Into A Vampire. 500 Year

Do you think the show will let us know Lestat becomes a rockstar to try and shield Louis? Or do you think they will try and make it like Lestat wants Louis to know he is fine without him? (He’s not)

I think the ending of S2 was a deliberate setup to coincide with how TVL begins — Louis is in danger, and Lestat concocts the rockstar career in an effort to shield him.

They let us hear all those threats against Louis for two reasons. One, it was meant to show that Louis is owning himself finally and is not the same as he was before. He is now The Vampire Louis. Two, like I said, it was setting up Lestat’s main reason for doing what he does with the rockstar shenanigans.

I also don’t think Lestat will be actively trying to convince Louis that he’s “fine” without him. It will be more like Lestat doesn’t want to burden Louis or be “too much” for Louis and will only want to give what he thinks Louis wants to receive.

In other words, he will be at Louis’ feet…..just like he’s really always been at Louis’ feet.

Old man yaoi

This post ate so hard. I don’t know why I’d never thought about the lamps being used for this reason…

My Sunshine Court Trilogy bingo!!

I am an absolute supporter of the theory that Daniel and Armand were together in the seventies and that Armand erased or altered Daniel’s memories of it. It would add so much nuance to their characters and their relationship. There’s just this bittersweetness within their interactions that I couldn’t quite explain otherwise. I think Assad’s performance in this scene especially supports this interpretation:

Imagine seeing the love of your life again after 50 years—seeing how he has changed as a person, how he has grown from a silly boy into this amazing reporter, how he has matured both physically and mentally. You are forced to remember your relationship and the feelings you buried deep within yourself all those years ago, while he’s staring right back at you—with no recollection of it at all (which was your doing).

Not only is Armand forced to see the love of his life again and grapple with the resurfacing feelings that come with it, but Daniel is also dangerous to him. Daniel is smart enough to uncover Armand’s carefully crafted web of lies—lies built to maintain control, something Armand desperately needs. Armand has meticulously built himself a life where he gets to keep Louis, and Daniel has the potential to tear all of that down.

It’s such a rich, layered dynamic: Armand’s love and guilt for Daniel, his need for control, and his inability to resist the pull of someone who could destroy it all. It creates such incredible tension and emotional depth.

went through the IWTV q&a thread on reddit for season 1 where Jacob and Sam answered questions and here are some of my favs 😋

seems like they’re both excited for Gabrielle next season

Never beating the lestat possesion allegations

Part 2?

"If I were orpheus I wouldn't look back"

But we look back everyday- rechecking emails, making sure a friend is still behind you, checking to see if you remebered to pick up your keys. It's second nature, a habit of care.

It was second nature for him too. He looked back, not out of weakness, but love. For what is love, if not to look back?
