I feel like a lot of English les mis fans are missing out on some devastating detail. Did you know Turning’s title and chorus is actually a reference to a french nursery rhyme « tourne tourne petit moulin ». They are singing one last song to their dead children.

honestly early chapters Nathan deserves more credit considering how much bullshit he has to put up with from Kishiar’s side

being told the just off age commoner is hot

the weird commoner has to be a spy because he’s entirely too good at everything

Kishiar not leaving the suspicious guy alone

Fucking assassination attempt he wasn’t there for and the incredibly fucking weird powerful commoner dealt with on his own

Looking after the cavalry while Kishiar is doing hot girl shot

Kishiar using the powers to fix the commoner’s weird funky wound

Like I’m only praying he never learns about the whole ‘propositioning Yuder to see how he reacts’ thing bc while I think Nathan is too professional to slap Kishiar, I think he would oversteep his tea

… I see a pattern in my favorite Korean novel MCs. It's the resting bitch face but with an expressive inner voice. Also unreliable narrator for real lol.

Another Jacob interview!!

(And InCreative Company once more with GREAT questions and therefore very interesting answers!!!!)

the show exists in different versions of the truth

Jacob has the most fun presenting a certain version of Louis in Dubai, because Louis modeled himself on James Baldwin

As he loosens up the NOLA accent comes back (slowly) and in the end the versions of Louis come together

There's a level of deception to Loumand that Louis didn't realize was "possible" until that moment, and he did not feel safe in the relationship

Louis holds the accountability at the end of season 2, is able to look at his mistakes, (also) with Paul and Claudia, who he really loved and was changed by

Louis is constantly lying

Louis is super vampiric, he wants blood, he wants to kill humans

Louis is always overcompensating, there is a primal rage in him, and the only way to control it is to be elegant about it

Louis really missed Lestat

The trial was as close to a lynching as it could get

But his love for Lestat was just trickling in and it was incredibly confronting to feel that, combined with the "I can't believe you're doing this"

Louis is not overly defensive about what Lestat says about their relationship at the trial, because the bits that are true... are true

the flashback to the coffin room was very surreal

it was a "new Louis" - it was the rage that Louis usually hides, that "primal" rage

Jacob was not used to letting it out, and it was very interesting to do that

He and Sam manage to find the fun in those days regardless

Claudia's birth scene felt almost blasphemous to revisit

Jacob didn't want Louis to kneel... he didn't like the optics, and it wasn't scripted - he didn't want this image of Louis - but when rehearsing he realized it had to be that uncomfortable, fearing, "little-boy" Louis, prostrating himself

He said to Rolin "I didn't want to kneel" - and Rolin said: "I didn't tell you to"

Sometimes "something else" is taking over and going against every instinct he has for the character

Re Louis' revenge: madness looks different for everyone of us

Louis is going through a manic episode, Jacob wanted it to feel real and faithful

Letting loose and allowing things to come out for it is kinda fun

On the reveal: Louis always had an inkling that there was something untrustworthy about Armand

That is why he had Dreamstat commenting the way he did

Dreamstat is indeed giving clues how Louis is really feeling

Louis and Armand do care about each other in Dubai - they do not have the intense love though

Louis gaslighted himself a bit because he did not want to trust that inkling - with help of Armand of course

Louis takes his part of the responsibility for Claudia

What Louis and Lestat have is undeniable, in the ether,

Louis had just wasted 70 years of his life in an effort to spite Lestat - with a person who was just keeping him as an object, "cut off his nose to spite his face"

Louis took his frustration out on Armand (and Jacob thinks that's fair :))

Louis has found peace at the end of the season

He always felt "wrong", he had to "present himself", and in vampirism that continues and builds into eternal shame

And in that final moment of s2 Louis reached self-acceptance through accountability and responsibility for his part in it all

That was deeply satisfying for Jacob, because he hates how much Louis is hurting all the time

He thought that very beautiful

Peace and self-acceptance is a really difficult thing to get to in any lifetime

you ever start reading something trusting every word the main character says only for that mf to drop a nuclear bomb information fifty something chapters in and you realize you've been fooled by an unreliable narrator
