It’s almost impressive how they manage to do this.

Btw, how come war crimes are only counted as war crimes during war? You're telling me in a government sanctioned & internationally agreed upon war, it's illegal to bomb civilians, but if it's just colonizers bombing the indigenous people of the land they intend to claim as their own, then bombing civilians is fine???

Chemical warfare is illegal when a soldier does it to another soldier but when a cop does it to a protester, that's fair game??

Attacking medical centers? Kidnapping people in broad daylight and denying them food, water, a fucking toilet? Opening fire on civilians in the streets? Destroying shipments of food to starving children?

Explain to me like I'm five how that's not criminal warfare.

did miku contribute to the agreements made upon during the 1949 geneva conventions?

miku fun fact #134

we cannot find any pictures of miku attending the 1949 geneva conventions but she could have been in disguise or maybe hiding from cameras so we cannot say for certain.

There is no such thing as a 'human shield'.

They are called civilians.

We need to put pressure on our governments to change their stances and aid Palestine.

Find you're local MP's.

Find you're state representives.

Contact them.

Be it through email, telephone or through the post.

Tell them their needs be a ceasefire in Gaza.

Tell them that what Israel is violating the Geneva convention.

The government may be the ones incharge but they do not speak for us.

We are the people, we have a voice and the power to change minds.

And we owe the Palestinians to at least try.

Here is a google document of templates you can use for the UK, US, France, Sweden, Germany, Denmark, Ireland, The Netherlands, Spain, Portugal.

And if you live in another country you can amend them to fit.

And I, for one, welcome our Canadian overlords.

im sorry because i know my thoughts should be focused on palestine right now. but i can't stop thinking about what all this means for the future. my parents, my grandparents, me, we've all taken for granted a world where even in war there are rules adhered to. there have always been war crimes but in general all across the world it was safe to shelter in schools, temples, hospitals. anyone bearing the red cross/crescent could be trusted. no side would disguise their soldiers as humanitarian aid and invade a refugee camp

palestine will be free, but even when it is those rules of war will still have changed. now we know the US will not abide by the geneva convention who can risk following it? my children will live in a world with a free palestine one day, but they will never get to live in a world where shelters, medics, and aid mean safety. and every death caused by this rewriting of the rules of war is directly attributable to israel and the US's genocide

Hey Nalyra, how is it possible that Claudia never noticed that her most compromising diaries were missing? In 2x06 she even let Madeleine read some of them and she didn't notice?

That's a good question.

And I think the answer to that lies with the trial and the way Armand (and therefore Louis) narrated it... because I think the series of events is mixed up, rearranged to make sense in the tale, sense to LOUIS.

It would take weeks for Lestat to get to them. And I don't think he would be rehearsing the play with him right away.

Louis says in 2x06: "The Berlin Blockade ended in May. The Geneva Convention was agreed in August. Some of the front pages from that year. But if you look in the filler, in the back pages. Strange crimes reported."

So... the theater burned in August or later, is my takeaway from that?! (I believe that is a banquet with king George VI at Saint-James that is referred to there?! Google was surprisingly unhelpful though, so if anyone has further knowledge here...)

Armand then says: "A telescopic lens stolen from the Observatory at Meudon. A film company shooting the crime thriller 'Porte D'Orient' delayed when its inventory of color film stock is snatched. Then Louis again: A gang of drunkards, hanging off of the side of the Eiffel Tower, all facing south by southwest, all muttering in unison gone by the time police arrive by elevator."

These crimes were supposedly in the time before, in fact they must have been, obviously, since the theater burned at the end. Supposedly throughout during that year.

However, Claudia says: "We've been burying our meals outside Saint Denis. Flowers are starting pop up out of the ground. Lavender, sweet iris, peony. Flowers growing from the dead. Cold things becoming warm."

If we take this as true, then this indicates that the abduction night happened in spring - and that they had been away for quite some time.

Now, we know Louis went a little mad after the trial and the starvation period (no telling how long that was either), which is more than understandable, imho.

IF we take the theater burning in late 1949 as correct (as filed by the Talamasca), then it likely was towards the end of it.

I think Claudia and Madeleine died in late spring.

I think they left Paris in autumn 1948. Louis and Armand both wear coats in Montmartre, but there is no snow.

I think they only took the diaries after Claudia had left.

Because yes, I do not think Claudia would have not noticed if especially those diaries would have missed. But if she left them behind... I mean, she thought she had left it all behind, right, had started a new life with Madeleine.

And, it makes more sense in the whole tale as well, because in order to shift the blame to Santiago, he must have done it behind Louis' and Armand's back... and that is utter BS, imho, since there is no way someone like Armand did not know about the vampires watching them, for example.

I think it makes a lot more sense that Louis didn't notice the diaries gone after Claudia had left - he had probably put them on her desk or into her coffin or even put them away since Armand apparently used her coffin(! She asks him "How do you like my coffin?") and left them there.

And I think it makes a lot more sense that the diaries were taken in the months after Claudia left, as the coven was preparing, and rehearsing. It makes a lot more sense with the time they would need to find Lestat and lure him over, too. It would make a lot more sense with the time they would need to make him do what they wanted. It would make a lot more sense for Claudia to feel like she wanted to see Louis again, too.
