Antoinette smoking a cigarette watching Lestat and Louis fuck while the other woman plays.

People complaining that Louis and Claudia have no right to demand Antoinette's death is so funny to me. They're VAMPIRES!!! They have killed a lot more people for a lot less. Sure, I feel bad for her but to Louis and Claudia she's just another way for Lestat to hurt Louis again.

what if Antoinette

[greedandenby]

They are one and the same.

(also both their daddies have a thing for cutting off fingers and toes, so there's that)

[labelle-dame-sansmerci]

Claudia is the queen of restraint because I would have put Antoinette to ground as soon as I realized Lestat had turned her.

“A bond like that makes you believe there are only two of you on the planet. Freedom and chastity wrapped in one person.” “But there were three of you.”

crazy how Lestat spent like, twenty years fucking a woman that he didn't even really like on a platonic level because he was so genuinely deranged that he was like, "well if my husband really loved me, he'd want me to fucking KILL her! and the fact that he hasn't explicitly requested that I murder this woman is proof that he actually hates my guts and is waiting for the soonest opportunity to rip my heart out and leave me." and Louis, who is equally as insane but slightly better at pretending that he's not, knows what Lestat is waiting for. and he wants Lestat to kill her too! but he could never ask, because he refuses to lose. lose what, who knows. and so for twenty years, he stows away in his coffin and repeats a nightly mantra of, "I want her dead I want her dead I want her dead I WANT HER DEAD-" and then he wakes up and is like, "of course you're welcome to see her, Lestat my beloved, I'm totally cool with this!" because he's a total liar.

So....with Armand saying stuff like "We'll do it together, just like we've done everything for the past 70 years! :)" and Louis not acknowledging any weirdness between Armand and Daniel, even when they're alone...

...I am definitely kind of wondering: if Devil's Minion already happened (which it absolutely did), if it was less 'relationship that happened while Louis and Armand were separated (and Louis is fully aware of it)', and more 'secret affair behind Louis' back (and Louis is gonna be piiiiiiissed when he finds out)'.

Love love Delainey's answer, because just in case anyone forgets, Lestat is not the only person we haven't seen their "real self" so far; there's Claudia. And *spoiler warning just in case* unlike Lestat who will have his chance to speak for himself later, Claudia won't. Yet these men (derogatory) keep violating her privacy, editorializing it, or even put words into her mouth, to fit their narrative or perspective or whatever. and THAT is Claudia's biggest tragedy imo. Even in her (second) death, she never gets the respect she deserves.

things in IWTV season 2 i'd lose my mind if it actually happens (or when. because some of those things will happen.). sorry for the mistakes btw

1. Claudeleine romantic relationship

Claudia finally having a vampire lover she can be herself with. the romantic & sexual tension. the heart to heart Louis and Claudia would have before changing Madeleine. the yearning. the tragic ending. the change of dynamics in the De Pointe du Lac family. the disruption of it all.

2. an exploration of Armand's relationship to religion, faith and God

specially in 2022. past religious crisis. how he articulates his vampire nature, his faith and his despair. lots of hints of TVA. God and art. religion, Armand and Louis. his religion (conversion from being christian to being muslim in this universe? if so, why?). "i serve, a God," would you mind to develop?

3. dramatic irony about Daniel's past and Devil's Minion

the rent boy. Daniel actually realising he had been a dick about that. "oh." after understanding the irony of it all. Armand talking in riddles and hinting at something Daniel is totally ignorant of. young Daniel's life and messy, loving and weird relationship with Armand. some activism. 2022 Daniel getting old, sicker and sicker. laughs. angst. tension. yearning. longing stares. petty remarks. revelations.

4. Loumand complex relationship

the love and the suffering. how they are both deeply attached to each other. how they show their care. the place Lestat holds right in the middle. how they deal with Claudia's death. what Louis really thinks about it. the tension. the yearning. how their relationship actually developed. the extent of Louis' memory alteration and how it plays a role into their dynamics. the after: how Armand helped Louis. messy divorce vibes. petty moves. to what extent their relationship is doomed. how one person can love several persons and in different ways, and how complex and delicate it is.

5. The Groan™

what is that. a metaphor for sexual arousal? Lestat scratching the walls? Rashid trapped? some clues. what the fuck.

6. Antoinette alive and kicking

and coming back right on time for the trial, because it would be 1) so fucking funny 2) utterly tragic, considering Claudia would be killed for killing nobody.

7. amazing outfits

amazing outfits

8. lots of french

i'm french

9. Claudia and Armand's relationship

Claudia being protective of Louis. Armand dealing with it. some sort of bond rivalry. both of them aware that something's wrong with the other. Armand and Claudia's similarities being acknowledged (age, killing a human they loved — Charlie, Ricardo — and complex situation regarding their maker), even a possibility for some kind of understanding and compassion (making the end more tragic). Armand seeing a some of Lestat in Claudia. Claudia seeing Armand's love for Lestat. a common love for theater and spectacular shows. that awful experience before Claudia's death.

10. Louis and memories

the photos he takes (where are they in 2022? will they clash with Louis' tale?). the metatextual dimension of themes such as: unreliable narration, memories and perspective, autofiction. Daniel calling out Louis' avoiding strategies. Louis calling out Daniel's rudeness and biais. how Louis really sees his relationship with Claudia? the gap between Louis' and Armand's recalling. a deeper exploration of his superimposed identities (black, queer, american man; in 1940, 1973, 2022). learning how to trust someone new after being abused. the rain metaphors. Louis saying the most poetic and heartbreaking thing you'll ever heard. his relationship to vampirism as he joins Armand's coven. grief and loss of a family member. hallucinations and how they are filmed / manifesting. guilt. loving Claudia and Armand. loving Lestat, still. etc.

tysm for coming to my tedtalk. it was very self-indulgent but very much pleasant. i won't be mad if it doesn't happen (obviously!), or not like i imagine. still, it's fun to imagine and put that here on tumblr. no shame on lestat, i just have no special things i'm waiting for about him, and will be very happy indeed to see him again. salut

Interview with the Vampire (2022) | 1.07, "The Thing Lay Still"

[winepresswrath]

Louis, 100 years later: My goal in this interview is to be honest with you and present a nuanced portrait of a complicated situation. I want to be clear, so I’m going to share something very important: Antoinette had a flat ass, and it’s not me who said so. A third party specifically pointed that out. It’s crucial that you know how flat her ass was, so you can have the full context of what happened. I hope you’re writing this down. Your readers should know.

[ghostfoolish]

I mean yeah I know people are like “Loool Louis ate a rat in front of Lestat and he still wanted Louis to give him the ushy gushy 5000” but like,..I live in Louisiana. I drive by the Mississippi River often. I know of her. You guys don’t understand how gross and polluted that river is. So yeah Lestat still wanted to play tickle dick with Louis after he saw him eat a rat and then toss it on the floor but he also knew that Louis swam through what is essentially a river of piss and was still like “my love..my fucking skrunkly dunkly..the light of my goddamn life…I don’t care that you breast stroked your way through the same liquid that can turn normal humans into super heroes..I want you and only you 😍😍❤️” and idk man that’s LOVE.

INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE 1x03 Is My Very Nature That of the Devil He would do his killing away from me now, out of respect, he said, for the choice I had made. The frolicking repeated itself every night for two weeks. They would add another song to their set and work on another at night, while I tried to adapt to my new diet.
