FOR THE NEW FANS OF IWTV JOINING US FROM NETFLIX, PLEASE KEEP THIS IN MIND:
-
This is an adaptation. This is Rolin Jones’s interpretation of IWTV. Some things are from the genius of Rolin, other things are direct parallels to the source material.
Nothing is black & white. The show is complex in its entirety.
A reoccurring theme is “Memory is a Monster”. Contradictions, delusions, lack of recollection, and discrepancies in each character are applicable. It is solely up to you, the viewer, the consumer, to determine who/what is reliable and who/what is not.
Another reoccurring theme is “Evil is a Point of View”, a direct quote from the 1st book.
S1 is Louis’s point of view. S2 is Louis’s point of view, with other pov’s included.
THE ENTIRE PREMISE OF THE CHRONICLES IS AS FOLLOWS: Humanity vs. Vampirism, Good vs. Evil. MEANING — 2 things can be true at the same time. We humans have our way of life just as vampires have their way of life. What we deem as good vs. evil is based on our nature. What vampires deem as good vs. evil is based on their nature.
Most importantly — IT IS OKAY TO ROOT FOR A VILLAIN. EVERY CHARACTER IS FLAWED. IT IS OKAY TO LOVE A CHARACTER AND HATE THEIR ACTIONS AT THE SAME TIME!

There is no right or wrong answer. It is all subjective. Everything is based on perception so contrasting opinions are inevitable. That is literally the point. But let us not forget that at the end of the day, this IS still in fact fiction.
happy lesbian visibility week
Movies about black trauma is literally mockery and I hate it
Hollywood just loves to see us for entertainment
I agree--and I say this as I was jamming to the Candyman soundtrack. But I think folks saw Jordan Peele's take on horror and ran with it. But even before then, we've had so much of media focused on black pain. It's devastating.
I can't wait for the next generation.
And in general I want more exposure for dark skinned black women.
STRESS OF FATE
i hate that our love is literally written in the stars.
planets, nodes, aspects
all connected by stupid lines.
i don’t want to be connected to you.
not because i don’t love you to death,
maybe because i feel as if you don’t love me.
sometimes i’m not even sure if you ever did…
all i can do is wish you the best.
whether we’re together or not,
you’ll need it.
Remember to make space for the heteros this month too - yes, really.
Lesbians who became straight men
Gay men who became straight women
All straight drag artists (note that not all of them are cis!)
People with complex identities who thusly encompass multiple orientations (like genderfluid and multigender people who, yes, are sometimes straight, or even simultaneously with other labels)
Hetero aro and ace people. Especially. Seriously.
People with fluid orientations
Gnc people who find joy in their straightness
Many queer people are also straight. Queerness is note solely reliant on gayness. These people too, are a part of pride. Remember that.
