I stumbled on this really interesting tv movie that's an adaptation of Anne Rice's second Novel by the same name. She wrote right after IWTV and I think the writers may have used it as inspiration when coming up with Louis's family history.
It's really interesting and I learned so much about the complex history of the Creole free people of colour, the seedy system of plaçage and the colorism and racism that went along with all that.
I watched it on youtube (from what I could find, it's not available anywhere else) so the quality is iffy, but I still highly recommend checking it out.
Missed warmups cause I psyched myself out and also wanted to eat real dinner instead of arena food but I did wander near Yotes warmups on my way to my seats and grabbed some video for @reavenedges-lies
Shout-out to Yuki and Vofi for helping me think of the last two!
If you guys want to know more about my OC's, I wrote some lore on their Toyhouse profiles (you can find it in "more info" of my pinned post). They are all WIPs, tho. If you want to know more specific questions, the ask box is open and I'm always happy to talk about them ^^ maybe some day I'll do a Q&A with doodle replies.

The things I said about my mother…about placage- // I haven’t seen him since Martin was born….He couldn’t give my baby his name because he may have another son someday. He said my baby had to know his place, that he had to be taught from the beginning to never go to Bontemps like Marcel did, to never mention the word Bontemps, that I can never mention that name to him….I do love the baby. I thought I loved his father, but it was something else. Something false. Something you called evil. You were right Marie. You were right. It was wrong, to do the choice that I made. And now, I wonder, when my baby is grown, what will he think when he looks at me?
