I only just watched the interview with Oliver and Lou (damn work keeping me away from tumblr) and maybe it's me but I kind of got the feeling Lou wasn't very happy/comfortable with them mentioning his dad? The way he turned the conversation to his mum right away. And he just didn't seem too keen to talk about him. You'd think the Inside Hollywood people would have been told not to go there and not make their guest uncomfortable, right?
ugh the thing about journalism is that you want the juice and you want your interview to have what others don't. I kinda think they were hoping for him to bring up the animosity between his family and his dad or to flip out or walk away or whatever. I doubt they didn't know about it and I'm just glad that Oliver noticing him being uncomfortable, went to lighten the mood and change the topic.
but ngl I'm a but worried about Lou, not in a parasocial sense (or maybe that too, who knows), but more like... this was his first higher profile(ish) interview and it seems like they are testing the waters for him to do more later on and this might very possibly become a theme... along with the people on twitter trying to bully him and looking for gotcha moments and all that because they cannot separate an actor from his character.
I know a couple of years ago, Lou talked about getting negative comments and not being too worried because it always resulted in his fans stepping in and standing up for him, but the shows he's been on before were way smaller than 911. this show has a large fandom and it's been growing rapidly thanks to abc's promotion tactics and canon bi Buck.
and frankly I'm just worried that eventually it might get to him and 1) negatively affect his mental health and 2) make him want to step back from the show entirely.
I know a lot of people would be happy and feel vindicated if that happened, which is so twisted and sad and paints this entire fandom into such a bad light.

it's SO funny that when asked what he had to do to prepare for his role in IWTV Sam Reid says he had to learn how to play the piano, learn to speak French, Italian, and English with a French accent. Bailey read IWTV religiously and added her own comments, and kept an actual fucking journal she wrote entirely as Claudia. meanwhile Jacob Anderson, when asked the same question, just responds with “oh nothing, i was already emo”. icons and legends only

Thinking about the fact that Mabel and Dipper didn't know they had two great uncles.
Yeah they are 12 and at 12 I had a shotty understanding of my family tree- But really? Nobody brought up their great uncle? Stanley? Especially since they'll be staying with his twin brother, Stanford?
Shermie never went to Stan's fake funeral, which to me means the twos relationship was strained on some level. If Shermie is older that means his view of Stan was poisoned in some way, that even as kids they weren't close. If the Shermie is younger then he never even got to meet Stan and all he knew about him was how he failed his family. Hell, people probably barely mentioned Stanley TO Shermie.
The fact that Stan had become a black stain upon the Pines family name makes me so vividly upset. Stanley faked his death and the family just- seemingly decided to strike him from the record. To pretend he didn't existed to spare themselves the sadness and shame.
Stanford and Shermie Pines. The only children worth mentioning of Filbrick and Caryn Pines.
It was never Stanford that was lost to the world. It was Stanley, ever since he had to leave New Jersy- it was always him that had to be struck from the record. Change his name, change his state, change his affiliations, destroy the remains of ghost that was Stanley Pines. Kill him so the family doesn't bring him up, doesn't ask questions, stops asking "Stanford" about his twin.
I just keep thinking about the fact that since the day he made one single mistake all the way up until Ford walks out of that machine- Stanley Pines was killed and did not exist. And Stan himself had no one to blame, he had to play the part in his own demise- He is the only one who ever knew Stanley was alive and has been for decades.
He lives in the multitudes of every personality he's ever taken, all in the hope that he himself can stop being Stanley Pines.

OH NO I'VE JUST REALIZED SOMETHING. It's so obvious how did I just catch it.
So Lestat and Armand meet up earlier in Memnoch the Devil, and Armand is wearing all denim and is super dusty. Lestat sees him and lovingly thinks about wanting to clean him up, do his hair, etc. Armand responds 'yeah, you're always wanting that, back in Paris you wanted to perfume me and comb my hair and put me in velvet and embroidery'. (see here for excerpts)
WHEN LESTAT GETS BACK NEAR THE END OF THE BOOK ARMAND IS WAITING FOR HIM! Wearing velvet and embroidered lace! He has left his hair down and uncut like it was back all those years ago in Paris, only it's cleanly washed. (see here for excerpts)
He.... he gave himself the Lestat-likes-it-when-I-look-like-this makeover while Lestat was out.

velvette and valentino absolutely both have their own money, in excess, but will ask vox to buy them things partly because they like being spoiled and partly because they know vox is (secretly, he thinks) delighted by playing the exasperated guy who can be cajoled into buying you something just this once, but you'd better not try the puppy eyes and kisses again next time, it won't work! (it continues to work, always.) it makes him feel very masculine
