#interiew with the vampire

[armandyke]

Despite my best efforts I still don't have a job and I really need a way to make money to live and stuff so I'm now offering writing commissions alongside my art commissions! I mostly write for Interview With The Vampire and The Umbrella Academy but I've also written MCU and SteveBucky in the past. I have approximate knowledge of many fandoms so if there's something you want don't be afraid to reach out and ask! I'm open to writing for any ship but I do reserve the right to refuse anything I don't feel I could do justice to so please DM beforehand if it's something I haven't published work on before.

To order either an art or fic commission you can DM me or purchase directly through my ko-fi (for a fic commission above 15K words please DM me to discuss further)

really do need to talk about it so spoilers for iwtv s2 finale beneath the cut

hi. i am so torn on this episode so this will be spilt into two parts, things i liked and things i didn't. excuse all grammar and spelling i really am not focused on that now.

things i liked:

first and foremost the theatre fire/ louis' revenge. I really liked the way he got out of the crypts and then him plotting his revenge in the graveyard, acting very manic and delirious. I immediately thought of Les Innocents with the graveyard as well which felt intentional and i love that. I really really enjoyed seeing his revenge come to life with the theatre burning, the sabotaged bikes that killed celeste and estelle, and of course cutting santiago's head off with a scythe.

I liked louis and lestat's reunion in new orleans and particulary the tour guide talking outside of 1132 rue royale, even if what he said wasn't the true story and was a little bit offensive. parts of the reunion i didnt like but that was more influenced by the other overall things i didnt like.

DANIEL! VAMPIRE DANIEL! wished we saw a little more of how we got here but i think that will be revealed in more depth next season. But i loved that danny is a vampire and armand is his maker. to me this basically confirmed that devil's minion happened, even if danile doesn't remember. armand would not have made daniel out of spite, he would only have made him if he loved him too much to lose, this is explicit canon, and i love it. loved daniel's fuckass tv interiew as well and his glasses and colour changing eyes.

I liked the ending, liked that setup for TVL/QOTD plotlines.

On that one i loved the Akasha mention from lestat to armand, and saying that louis doesn't know what that means. armand knows Akasha was kept by marius, even if he thinks marius is dead and that akasha could be kept by someone else i think this is the first nod towards marius being alive/showing up, as it says lestat had to meet marius to drink from akasha

I liked the weird little detail that the vampire sam is apparently in daft punk now. interesting. i still think he's actually ******* but yeah two things can be true

things i didn't:

lestat??? saved??? louis?? listen i fully understand that armand FUCKED UP here with directing the play but i knew that. I knew that it's in the books and is more than enough for loumand divorce! but oh my god saying that he would have let louis die makes NO SENSE??? why would he save louis in ep3 then just plan and direct hs death later. I swear i am not a book purist but he directed the play, manipulated lestat and killed claudia because he wanted louis for himself, this is purely his motivations in the books that feels like complete character assasination from one point of view. Having lestat save louis feels like a sloppy way of pushing the narrative back into the loustat box and make it purely like "oh armand never loved louis and was so much worse than lestat." I just... cant get past this. the entire 'i could not prevent it' was made so much better with the fact that he could because he saved louis, but not claudia. Thats purely in character for armand, this is not. When louis asked lestat in new orleans if he was the one who saved him during the trial i was basically begging lestat to say no because this makes no sense. They better have a good reason for this because if they leave it there i will be deeply upset. and im not even a loumand shipper particuarly.

Also did not like the mentions of what they did with Claudia's ashes. the first two were just upsetting and horrible but the third that was literally another sexual assault. not necessary :/ i choose to believe santiago was lying to infuriate louis.

overall i think it is a good setup for a third season if a little weird and ooc right now, i think (or hope) a lot of the loose ends and parts that don't make sense will be addressed in s3 and im so glad s3 is confirmed because if it wasn't i'd be worried.

i miss when movies were sexy, they aren't anymore. they may have sex scenes and nude people, but they are definitely not sexy.

Everyone's favorite character from Interiew With a Vampire (22) should respectable be Claudia, then Bricktop, then whoever else. I wont argue, proof in the show lol.

Am I the only one that thought white violin Vanya looked like Louis from Interiew With The Vampire...

Actually this is kinda true, like I don’t got the spoons to explain properly at present but like, i did my dissertation on gender and sexuality in the vampire genre. In films like the Lost Boys vampirism was used as a metaphor for the AIDS epidemic and all the vampires are gay. This is a similar case with a lot of 80s vampire films. In Let The Right One In the book confirms that Eli is canonically intersex and nonbinary, which is hinted at in the film but she explicitly says “what if I’m not a girl?” Vampirism since early cinema and it’s first use in literature has been used as a code for sex, so anytime a vampire preys on someone of the same gender... It’s gay. Homoeroticism combined with vampirism has been present like, for ages. See the 1920s version of Nosferatu for some sweetass homoeroticism. Originally this was a way to vilify LGBT+ people but with films like Interiew with a Vampire and Let The Right One In where the vampires are the protagonists and Relatable, it’s like LGBT+ people are reclaiming them for ourselves and that’s really neat.

Basically vampires are LGBT+ culture and always have been, suck it str8s

All vampire are queer. Straight vampires were made up by Hollywood to oppress LGBT vampires.

Claudia: Where's mama? Lestat: Mama... mama has gone to heaven, Chérie, like that sweet lady right there. They all go to heaven. Louis: All but us. Lestat: Shh. Do you want to frighten our little daughter? Claudia: I'm not your daughter. Lestat: Oh, yes, you are. You're mine and Louis' daughter now. You see, Louis was going to leave us, he was going to go away, but now he's not. Now, he's going to stay and make you happy. Claudia: Louis. Louis: You fiend. Lestat: One happy family.

Interview with the Vampire, giving us the perfect example of manipulative, jealous, possessive love.
