OH critics choice awards i am coming for you because what do you mean jacob anderson wasn’t nominated for a show he is the STAR in mind you he’s THE vampire don’t piss me off
I do want to touch on one more thing. When black people were stolen from Africa and put on those ships. They stripped us of our culture, our language and our history. A lot of us in present day can’t even say where our ancestors came from exactly, we can’t speak the language, we don’t even know the names of our forefathers.
That music scene was so moving because it highlights that despite all of the terrible atrocities, we are connected. Past, present and future. It’s in our soul, it’s in our very bones. We will always carry each other. It’s spiritual and it’s unbreakable. That power is our birthright.
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.

things we need to address:
gen z men getting pulled into alt-right pipelines through andrew tate, joe rogan, elon musk, jordan peterson etc
the gullibility and stupidity of half the country voting against our collective best interests
the broad effect social media has on public and common good
lazy minds and lack of empathy
outside-country interference (trump and elon’s connections to russia and the amount of bots from other countries spreading misinformation)
the long-term effects of AI and rampant disinformation
