All that is interesting happens in *the between*.
Sam Reid & Jacob Anderson give so much to each other in this scene & thus we feel it.
They give so much to each other in every scene, and thus we feel what Lestat & Louis give to each other & thus we feel the show entire. 💗

oof okay so here is an entire rant about ep 3 of interview with the vampire so obviously there’s gonna be spoilers
.
.
.
okay so i’ve seen people say that gender swapping antoine was “straight washing” or “unnecessary” well in this rant imma tell you how it all makes sense
firstly although louis does not (in the flashback or during the interview) say how he felt about lestat and antoinette being together they SHOWED it instead.
here you can see other people all around not paying any mind to lestat and antoinette being together because why would they care? they’re two white people, a man and a woman
louis and jonah are on the floor below where antoinette is kissing lestat but his attention is on louis. i also believe this was to show a type of power imbalance, lestat and antoinette are two white people being perceived as a hetero couple and are high above the ground where the two queer black men who cannot express any type of affection towards one another in public are seated
louis looked up to see lestat kissing antoinette while lestat is looking down on him and jonah, if louis was bothered by anything happening it’s not like he could say so because 1. lestat had just told him that he likes variety and had (not in exact words) told louis he was bisexual and 2. louis was a black man that couldn’t/didn’t want to be perceived as weak so if he wanted to express his hurt it wouldn’t be in public and honestly probably not even to lestat as he still doesn’t want to be seen as weak to anyone
i think they pulled a show not tell, they wanted to show the watchers the imbalance of power, the way that louis had to take jonah away from the public just to be with him but lestat could be with antoinette in front of everyone and no one would bat an eye, how that although it’s mentioned multiple times during the ep that people around them are aware of the nature of louis and lestat’s relationship it still wasn’t acceptable in society for them to be together in public like it was easily acceptable for lestat and antoinette
imo i think the gender swap paid off because if they hadn’t done it a good portion of the ep would’ve been null since even though antoine and lestat are both white they’re still men and wouldn’t have been rubbed in louis’s face as a more “acceptable” couple

People talk about the sex scenes in the TV show not being like in Anne Rice’s books… don’t they notice that the sex scenes include kissing & nudity: yes, and of course in most respects they have the look of any (wildly Romantic, intense, passionate & oftentimes violent) sex scene….
BUT if we witness a climactic moment, they also all culminate in the enhange of blood. Here, Louis bites into Lestat, just as the camera pans away. (Watch it & listen to the sound effects.) As Antoinette looks on. Well… wouldn’t you?! 😉😂😅😇 And obviously that’s what happens in the first sex scene too (but the other way round.) I’m just saying…

After everything my girl Claudia did to get Louis out of that relationship with Lestat, so that both of them could be free, for him to only backtrack and get into another toxic ass relationship. Like Louis love yourself a little hun

Louise, Lestat, Claudia.... and the curious case of the neighbors
A teen girl with two men -ok
All that loud thuds and screams in episode 5
Neighbors defying gravity- ok, duh
One of them defeated by gravity and the bone crushing fall onto the backyard- okk
A whole a$$ coffin out of the window- cool
Only thing to bug them was their looks not changing over time.
