The fact I haven't seen that many people talk about how lestat did the exact same thing his father did to him to Claudia by forcibly removing her from the train in ep 6 is a real disservice to both Claudia and Lestat

(from this post) the fact that claudia seems to enjoy the stage the smile she has watching the coven perform when she sees them for the first time and her being a natural performer as well….. she is her father’s daughter alright his inverted mirror the photographic negative of his insides the evil of his evil i need lestat to see her at least once bc he’d be so proud

claudia’s birth allows louis to believe that he and lestat have become The Parents (equal status) and so the teacher-student power dynamic has gone away, but really it’s just been repressed and it comes up again like wack-a-mole

It's very funny to stumble across old social media posts from when Interview with the Vampire initially announced Assad Zaman being cast as Rashid, and it is very very funny how it was full of people griping about "UuuuuUUUuuUUUUUuuugh why do we have people being cast as new characters and WHERE IS ARMAND"

Rewind the tape —Episode 4 highlights

One of our favorite quotes is...

"Why do you talk to the book?"  "The book is my friend."  "The book is her friend."  "The book is a book." 

A wonderful exchange that gives the diaries an entity of their own. Just like "a door can be your best friend," these diaries were Claudia's ally in her vampire existence, carrying her life in them. A century later, they're the only thing left to speak for her. We are introduced to Claudia’s perspective through words on a page, and it is easy to be reminded of Claudia’s tangible absence in the Dubai sequences. The book is her friend, and her only advocate in the power play of ideas.

What's a favorite quote of yours? Something from Claudia's diary? One of her exchanges with Louis? Maybe a line from the modern day?

also what really annihilates me about louis in this episode, what really stood out among everything else, was him insisting again and again that claudia not run in the house. bc why not? not only is it one of her inherent skills as a supernatural being but she also can't get hurt. there's no reason to ask her not to run in the house other than that's what a father would say. he's playacting. he's absolutely committed to the role, the idea, the concept, as if he can will it into existence by believing it hard enough. after all these years he still melts with pride in saying the words "I had a daughter" to daniel. just... brutal.

The Ruthless Pursuit of Blood With All a Child's Demanding | Claudia

[fangsinclay]

This is a repost from my other blog, but I love Claudia and thought she needed to be over here. She was both there for the perfect amount of time for the story, and not nearly long enough for my heart. </3

The whole "Claudia is now his sister"/Louis' sibling comparisons are never gonna sit right with me because that's never going to erase the fact that Claudia exists as a vampire partly because of him. Their relationship will never have this clearly defined role of siblings in the same manner Louis had with Grace or Paul, even if he was their older brother and was implicitly given the role of providing for them as the successor and manager of his family's estate. Because Louis was never responsible in part for their creation, the reason why they existed the way that they do in terms of behavior and life itself.

It also makes his betrayal of her all the more heartbreaking in ways that him and Grace drifting apart never will. He was her father, and didn't provide emotional support for her. She had to turn the tables and try to assume the role of being on an equal level because of this failure but this doesn't make him not choosing her any less painful than it did the first time. Even as they shift roles, take or give emotional responsibility one has towards the other, the fact that Claudia exists the way she does because of him and Lestat will always be there.

Louis du pointe du lac is a black mom in that he keeps choosing his man over his daughter even when those men abuse that very same daughter
