no because i'll be having a good day and then remember armand turned daniel into a vampire. 500 year old vamp who never made a fledgling before because the thought 'repulsed' him, drained daniel of his blood and then fed him his OWN blood to complete the transition. and the worst part? it happened OFF SCREEN.
Disclaimer!! this does NOT belong to me i simply found the QotD comic and made a pdf of the complete Devils minion chapter
lmk if the link doesnt work 😭
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.
This post ate so hard. I don’t know why I’d never thought about the lamps being used for this reason…
Thought experiment, just hear me out:
So Daniel “I don’t remember, that’s why I’m asking” Molloy could be remembering bits and pieces of 70’s-80’s Devil’s minion now that he’s remembered the majority of what happened in San Fran. BUT instead of it being memories that make sense, it’s all out of order and they don’t make any sense similar to how he remembered San Fran.(this is usually how memory loss works, but not how it’s often represented in media) so what if he’s remembering Devil’s minion except for the important stuff. Then you layer on the fact that his memory has been erased so what if, even with all his will power he can’t remember Armand’s face while all the dm stuff is happening. And I can imagine the horrifying feeling of trying to explore these memories and seeing the soiled sheets, feeling the bite on his neck, feeling his hands tangled into someone’s hair and telling himself “turn your head, look at him, all you have to do is turn your head, he’s right there!” But he can’t because the man’s face is just a black hole, an erased memory, an identity he can never confirm on his own. UGH it’s violating, it’s horrifying, and yearning for more all at once.
I’m theorizing that erasing a “whole” memory(multiple events, faces, feeling, actions, etc.) is a lot harder than erasing one persons face from someone’s memory. So what if that’s why there were so many cracks in Daniel’s false memory that allowed him to recover what was lost PLUS this was made easier because Louis was helping with his own memories. I really think that if Armand just tweaked Daniel’s memory to forget his face, it would hold longer since Daniel would still remember fucking up his life, all the lows, all the highs(literally) and of course he would attribute any lapse in memory to “well I remember being high so I was probably on another bender” when in reality there is a nightmare twink standing behind him the whole time but he’s just so perfectly out of frame so Daniel doesn’t see his face. And it’s everywhere he looks, a picture has a perfect smudge to cover this man’s face, his memory has literal black spots over this man’s face, and then none of his friends remember this strange man. Like could you imagine being haunted by a faceless man that you feel a magnetic pull towards. AND even when you can’t remember, you still feel him there, he’s in every corner, every room, every bed, every lover, every town, every city, every state and every country. So it’s so real when Louis says, “You were there, Daniel.” And all he can say is “I don’t remember, that’s why I’m asking.” Cause he’s so painfully aware that he was there, he just can’t shake the feeling that someone else was also there.
some more of my fav answers from the iwtv q&a thread 😋
Sam Reid on lestat😭
Jacob Anderson on Louis/certain scenes
Bonus+ Proof that everyone wants devils minion 🙏🏼
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
Jacob Anderson the n1 Louis x therapy shipper 😭
Part 2?
I can see why 1970’s Armand felt the need to microchip Daniel (collar him with a blood filled amulet). Look at this face, 0 survival skills and not a thought in his head
i hate gay halloween because what do you mean you're vampire chappel roan and her helpless gorgeous victim
PRINTS on my bio!
Just started interview with the vampire and Louie and Lestat are giving me EXTREME will and Hannibal vibes. I’m so living for it 😋😋😋
just finished episode one of interview with the vampire !! i absolutely fucking loved it, this is the exact type of show i’ve been looking for HOLY SHIT.
so captivating, haunting and beautiful and that was only ONE EPISODE.
this is it. this is the last somewhat coherent thought I will ever have.
i think about this a hundred times a day
ERIC BOGOSIAN and ASSAD ZAMAN in Official Season 2 Blooper Reel | Interview with the Vampire
Brad Pitt as Louis de Pointe du Lac in Interview with the Vampire (1994) dir. Neil Jordan
On a scale of Louis/Lestat to Joe/Nicky, how toxic are your immortal husbands?
What I love most about the finale is how it shows Louis finally on his own and content. Claudia calls him out for it multiple times, “who are you without me” who is Louis alone, because he never gets a chance to find out between his relationships to his family then lestat then Claudia then armand. Louis is always having to perform a role for those he loves and he has no idea who he is alone. The whole “yes maitre” roleplay with armand divorces him even further from who he is, forcing him back into the role of Louis the pimp.
But instead of going back to lestat Louis decides to be on his own, to fully be himself, and the redecorated apartment full of colour and pictures of Claudia and his brother is a beautiful expression of this.

chapter excerpt under the cut:
I don’t care for vampire vegetarianism. It feels like an awfully strange thing to desire demons just to defang them.
