Louis wore a Brain Dead Book Club T-Shirt in White at Glastonbury recently.
Brain Dead is a catalyst for creative minds from around the world. With its unique, disruptive approach, it interprets the cultural landscape through clothes, objects, and art.
Watching IWTV for the first time and this is the funniest fucking moment to me personally in S1E6 (despite being the uh, less bombastic successor to that scene very dear and near to ppl on here). There are soooo many implications which are making me insane here because:
A. Dr. Bhansali is a Gujarati doctor to the Prime Minister of Dubai like yes western shows usually ham in on the Asian doctor character but him being Gujarati is just a fucking hilarious decision. Not to mention that this multi religious king has a Muslim first name but a Hindu last name.
B. Louis' over-prononciation of "alavida" which is goodbye in Urdu and the confidence with which he's butchering it
C. Dr. Bhansali's over-prononciation AND response. It's not Urdu or Arabic nor does it have any Farsi dialect it's purely Hindi, and that too a very flowery version to just say "until next time" to somebody. Nobody is using "punah" in everyday language let alone that saying that sentence to any other person, especially in Dubai jxnxhd
Which brings me to my last point, and two questions that result in equally hilarious answers - did the writers just cook up some generic yet overly formal interaction that the vampires usually indulge in and just hit Google Translate? OR did they purposefully do this to highlight how contrived and thinly rehearsed Louis has made his life in Dubai? I'm Daniel typing in my notes asking if Louis enforces this kind of language
Someone just sent me this receipt from Twitter and I’m a little choked up. 😭

The friend they’re talking about is this one who met H when he was in Argentina in 2018 during his HS1 tour. She was wearing this shirt at the time and he signed a bunch of things for her. I believe she told him at the time that Louis was her favorite (she has a Louis tattoo).
just saw someone comment on a photoset of jacob and assad with "he's looking at that old man" even though there's no confirmation of assad actually staring at eric like... really?
can fans stop reducing the identity of a south asian actor to being about some pairing with a white character? especially on posts about two actors of color? i know it's a struggle for some of them to take a break from their shipping posts but jfc
I cant describe how much that makes me tick lmaooo. I am as excited to see developing relationships between loustat/armandaniel but it once again circles back around to white people being uncomfortable not being at the center of attention + unable to see the appeal of two brown people who are legitimately into eachother.
I haven't seen the comment you mention here but it makes me think of the common sentiment coming out of ep 6 that "what Madeleine was feeling wasn't Louis love for Armand but his love for Lestat" which just! I can go on all day about the ways Louis and Armands relationship is blown off and the romance misattibuted to prop up their white love interests.
I can only hope they will be allowed their agency in s3 but....well I guess we will see
Mordecai probably lives in an apartment or something, but my first thought when you brought up the Caves on that post was that he won’t tell us because he’s been living in the Caves the Whole Time. Even tho he’d hate the slime mold.
yeah a Whole Damn House would be a bit much, and probably not as useful for the nightly bootlegging related goings on: see, freckle needing to stand around waiting for a ride before he can go shoot people. whereas mordecai can show up to the maribel hotel on foot, or at least have started out somewhere he could get a cab or whatever....and this is probably the closest to any relevant Living Situation Glimpses
someplace with a bed, and one with an art deco headboard....a modern style, so it's neither Antique nor unfancy enough to have less identifiable stylings at all. like just by guessing surely he lives in some apartment that's unassuming enough to live unassumingly in, with whatever alias, so something large & fancy would be unhelpful....plus if he's gonna be fairly rigorous in his domestic upkeep, it wouldn't really help to have a huge place, even if for the same reasons it wouldn't be too small (or old or otherwise unpleasant; hard no to slime mold, slime, or mold....) and like re: the rotating aliases, maybe he moves places fairly regularly for good measure, been at this like, a decade....tl;dr probably has some apartment/s that's roomy but not huge, nice but not Fancy fancy, at the nexus of practicality, resources, and preferences
but it's important to think about "what if mordecai's been living in the caves the whole time" b/c that's funny lmao
Someone on Twitter said "I like to watch" is a show where drag queens Trixie and Katya react to Netflix series. I doubt Harry's shirt relates to it but I'm watching it now and having the best time. My head canon is that Harry and Louis watch it when they see all these waves and waves of green and they cry laugh together. Like the gogglebox episode but with kisses.
YEEESSSS, exactly, it's how long and slender his fingers are, how elegant his hands, and how gently he touches Lestat's face while Lestat looks at him trying not to cry....yeah I can't wait for more of that too, however they do it
Yessss. I just know they're going to make them so insane in s3, especially given we have no idea how Armand and Louis are going to factor into the modern timeline while knowing exactly how delightfully Daniel and Lestat are about to collide. Like we can make educated guesses on the flashbacks based on the books, but the modern timeline really is unchartered territory now given the changes they've made.
