The most recent episode of Interview with a Vampire let's us see Lestat's side of the story and see how it compares to Louis' accounting of their relationship. As a result, it reaffirms just how unreliable of a narrator Louis is, but it also further illuminates elements of his character that the director and writers have been playing with since the beginning of the show.

There's this part in the episode where Lestat turns to Louis and apologizes and it's framed with Lestat turned to Louis on one side and Claudia on his other side. They're the angel and devil on Louis' shoulders, but who is the angel and who is the devil? And as my friend said, Armand and Daniel are placed into that same dynamic with Louis later on. We are being asked to decide who to trust, who's telling the truth, who's the good guy, but the fact of unreliability robs us of that decision.

This whole story is about Louis, he's the protagonist, though not the narrator, and he is constantly being pulled in two directions, no matter when or where he is in his story. He's a mind split in two, divided by nature and circumstance. He's vampire and human, owner and owned, father and child, angel and devil. He's both telling the story and being told the story. His history is a story he tells himself, and as we've seen, sometimes that story is not whole.

Louis is the angel who saved Claudia from the fire but he's also the devil who sentenced her to an life of endless torment, the adult trapped in the body of a child. He's the angel who rescued Lestat from his grief and also the devil who abandoned him, who couldn't love him, could only kill and leave him.

He's pulled in two directions, internally and externally at all times and so it's no wonder that he feels the need to confess, first to the priest, then Daniel, and then Daniel again.

He's desperate to be heard, a Black man with power in Jim Crow America who's controlled by his position as someone with a seat at the table but one who will never be considered equal. He doesn't belong to the Black community or the white community, he can't. He acts as a go-between, a bridge, one who is pushed and pulled until he can't take it anymore. He's a fledgling child to an undead father, he's a young queer man discovering his sexual identity with an infinitely experienced partner. He's confessing because he wants to be absolved, that human part of him that was raised Catholic, that child who believed, he wants to be saved. He wants to be seen.

Louis wants to attain a forever life that is morally pure, but he can't. He's been soiled by sin, by "the devil," as he calls Lestat, and he can never be clean again. Deep down, I think he knows this, but he can't stop trying to repent. He tries to self-flagellate by staying with Lestat and then tries to repent by killing him, but can't actually follow through. He follows Claudia to Europe to try and assuage his guilt. He sets himself on fire, attempts to burn himself at the stake, to purify his body, rid himself of the dark gift.

Louis is a man endlessly trying to account for the pain he has caused and he ultimately fails, over and over again, because he can't get rid of what he is. A monster. He's an endlessly hungry monster. He's hungry for love, for respect, for power, for forgiveness, for death. He's a hole that can never be filled. He can never truly acquire any of those things because he will always be punishing himself for wanting and needing them in the first place. He will never truly believe he deserves them and as a result, can't accept them if they are ever offered. He can never be absolved for he has damned himself by accepting the dark gift and thus has tainted himself past the point of saving.

The gallery app on my phone sometimes creates slideshows of images stored at a certain time. Just now it was like "we have a new story for you!" and it's a collection of images from this period last year, during exams. The "story" shows pictures of lecture powerpoints with an occasional Vincent Nightray in between.

One of my new surfacing gripes with FF7R is how a lot of moments from the original game that rested heavily on player investment seem completely stripped out of the remake in favor of everything being a constant 60 hour long movie experience.

Like every now and then I hear the original game get shit for not taking its political messaging seriously at certain key set-pieces that are too game-y and chill like Costa Del Sol and the Gold Saucer, but that's not the whole picture when you consider how much control the player has over the party in that game. Costa Del Sol was just where you landed on the next continent and there was like a guy or two to talk to to point you in the other direction, a few lighthearted interactions to break up the fucked up shit that happened on the boat ride over, and then you could leave. The idea that the original Costa Del Sol indulged in the tourist trap goes only as far as how you as a player approached the space, if you got to Costa Del Sol and felt "Oh, this is a shitty Shinra colonial project I hate it here" you could book it outta there and maintain some of that disgust, but you fucking can't in the remake and its horrible.

For some fucking reason the boat ride over is on a cruise ship instead of a military vessel like before, so instead of a funny moment of humanizing the soldiers by being miserable with them, you get this fucking card tournament quest where everyone is suddenly SUPER into all this shit and doesn't care about any of the obvious underlying bullshit of the boat? And then its even worse when you get to Costa Del Sol because likefhsjkdhf? Everyone is OK with this glaring parallel to real world colonization and exploitation of island nations? Even Barret who literally had an amusement park built on the ashes of his home village by the people who burnt it down? EVEN YUFFIE WHO'S WHOLE SHTICK IS HOW HER HOME WAS INVADED AND TURNED INTO A TOURIST TRAP????

I cannot speak 100% for the original, because I remember it also missing these opportunities and besides that my memory is hazy, but its the fact that it wasn't flooded with all these ridiculous cutscenes and extra set-pieces that force you into experiencing areas a certain way, and a way that is just really fucking OOC?? And like for as OOC as the original could be, THE REMAKE IS 25 YEARS YOUNGER AND WISER THAN IT, PICK UP THE SLACK? But instead we get a fucking beach episode where you can put the girlies in bikinis or some shit. It's such a waste.

I can't think of like a single moment of subtly that the Remake retained from the originals. And it DOES have them under all the silly tonal whiplash stuff that the Remake cranks up to an unhealthy extent.

[💿 Character Directory 💿]

[Key:] 🔵: Local Group 5736 🟣: Local Group 0921 ✔️: Will Roleplay with ❔: Still developing but might RP with ❌: Will not RP with under any circumstances Eldest <- -> Youngest

No Linear Paths (NLP) ❔ They/It Local Group: 🟣 Status: [UNKNOWN]

They hardly knew anyone and that’s how they wanted to keep it. Paths wasn’t shy per se but wanted to keep their distance. The oldest in their local group and one of the first iterators to be made they were often asked many questions by younger iterators. However, most wouldn’t get much more of a response than a “yes” “no” or “I don’t have time for this”. 

When the ancients disappeared Paths was unsure what to do with themselves. Not wanting to talk to anyone and no longer having a purpose to serve they quietly retreated into themselves. Their local group has tried to see if they are okay but have gotten no response.

Flesh Of The Innocent (FOTI) ✔️ He/They/It Local Group: 🟣 Status: [ALIVE] Flesh is about as old as iterators get. After discovering how much data their supercomputers were putting out, the ancients decided to build another supercomputer to store and catalog all of that data. Because of this Flesh’s structure is full of pearls with a wide range of information. Iterators from all different local groups will contact him to get access to his files- and he is happy to share. 

Long after the ancients had died off, Flesh continued to catalog for the sake of something to do. However, one day he came across an interesting pearl he’d never seen before- one by the late Lost In The Dark. After reading the pearl his systems were completely taken over by what he could only assume was a virus. It caused about 90% of his structure to start iterating without his command- starting projects he did not authorize. Unable to stop it he is left completely disconnected from his structure beside his puppet.

Lost In The Dark (LITD) ❌ She/He/They Local Group: 🟣 Status: [DEACTIVATED]

A young and bright iterator, Lost was one of the most determined to find the solution. She was extremely interested in the use of gravity and compressing it enough to make small black holes. Her curiosity and determination to discover the solution quickly turned to obsession, however, and soon she turned to taboo means.

She became fascinated with body modification of her structure, hoping that it would increase her effectiveness. Fearful of her, the ancients shut her down, leaving her to be the first (and last?) iterator to be killed by ancient hands. She is now somewhat of a ghost story amongst younger iterators. 

Mockery's Voice (MV) ❌ He/Him Local Group: 🟣 Status: [ALIVE] [IMPORTANT: work in progress] All Mockery want's to do is be the hero of this sad story. To find the solution as his ancients instructed so he can save those he loves from the rotting that awaits them. He's bright and full of excitement for the future to come! A true Shonen protagonist! Forgotten Paradise (FPD) ❔ She/Her Local Group: 🟣 Status: [ALIVE] [IMPORTANT: work in progress] Her ancients loved her for her beauty. A goddess amongst them. Because of this Paradise never truly felt she could be herself. Living up to the arbitrary standards of goddess-hood her city put on her caused her intense anxiety and bouts of anger. Once they disappeared she vowed to live the rest of her cycles as herself.

Nothing Well-Made (NWM) ✔️ He/They Local Group: 🔵 Status: [ALIVE] Nothing was one of the last interators ever made, barely meeting his creators before they mysteriously vanished. He was created to study and observe plants; because of this, he has become quite fond of them. His entire structure is covered head to leg in his floral specimens. 

He is timid and easily made upset, yet Nothing is very optimistic that the solution is still out there. Though he doesn’t think his plant research will help much.

i was eavesdropping on the people sitting behind me in fool's paradise and they literally did just pick the movie bc they saw the poster at the box office without knowing anything about it😪

see i'm glad that it's not just sunny fans going to see it (bc the ticket sales r probably gonna matter more than reviews tbh) but the way these ppl online r bitching abt it makes it so obvious that they don't know shit 😭

trying to decide what earth maac takes place on. it cant be E2 (our earth) bc there's Magic -- even if its in a specific area. & it cant be E6 (supernatural beings exist in secret) bc everyone in Prism Pulse knows abt the magic (tho idk about the rest of the world tbh. so?).

i guess there's going to be an Earth 4 where Magic Exists But Only In Specific Areas/Locations???

check out the game time is solid here!!! the music is awesome and the game is super cool! huge inspo to me currently ^_^

about…✍︎

fae ∞ he/him ∞ 20

my main blog

use my askbox to request fics from me! Nothing strange. I have rules listed about this type of thing.

currently writing…✍︎

nameless (150k+ words, multichapter, in progress, SUMMARY)

nobody move! (16k+ words, multichapter, in progress, SUMMARY)

lovefool (8k+ words, multichapter, in progress, SUMMARY)

much ado about bullshit (11k+ words, multichapter, in progress, homestuck)

other fics i'm proud of…✍︎

a good song never dies (6k+ words, single chapter, drv3) ╰┈➤ Long known rivals, a story for the ages: hero vs. villain, the phantom thief vs. the detective! A challenge for one as he is for the other. Gadgets, goons, sometimes a little bit of fingerprint collecting but otherwise, nonstop action! Until tonight, that is. Everyone's got their weakness, right?

the wall (8k+, 5 chapters, osomatsu-san) ╰┈➤ Todomatsu is going to find his brothers- even if it takes his whole life to find them and bring them back home. It sounds easy on paper, but it's actually much more difficult than you imagined.

the "how to:" series (41k+ words, 6 chapters each, ongoing, osomatsu-san) ╰┈➤ this is one i have to summarise in my own words because. it's a series with multiple fics in it. essentially, it's the brothers dealing with different issues in their lives- exhaustion, depression, stress- and then the other brothers coming to help because they are a family and. i love them <3 there IS a twist there is a REASON why the first fic in the series is tagged "this is not going to go the way you think." i havent written for this in a while, but theres always a chance that ill come back and write some more for it because i still remember how i want this to end.

o green world (24k+ words, ongoing, osomatsu-san) ╰┈➤the summary on this leaves much up to interpretation but all you need to know is that when i wrote this, there were rumours of chronic wasting disease possibly jumping to humans if hunters kept eating contaminated deer brains and meat. i thought about what that would be like, made it wackier, and then continued off of that. its the brothers living in a zombie apocalypse. i do really like this fic; i dont write for it much anymore but i could always come back to it!
