IWTV S2E7

It took me two fucking hours to watch this motherfucking episode. I kept having to pause 'cause this shit got so overwhelming.

Ant it still hurts so much, how little consideration was given to Claudia in her own fucking murder.

It was never about her and it still isn't.

She's sitting there as a prop, an extension of Louis, the damning piece of evidence that declares him guilty. They stripped her of the little agency she had in planning Lestat's goddamned assassination. They took away her brilliance in outsmarting both Lestat and Antoinette. Her ruthlessness in how she handled the poisoning. They took away her achievement of freedom, all so they could paint Louis as the masterful villain. She isn't even given recognition for her "crimes".

She's sitting there watching her life play out as they reduce her to an even smaller part. No longer a supporting character, just a barely present side character with the written depth of a prop. They made her Chekhov's gun.

They even had the audicity of making Madeleine's sentence revolve around Louis. She was given the Gift without the Maître's permission, by Louis, no mention of Claudia. Except Madeleine accepted the Gift for Claudia. When they tried to take even that away it didn't work. It was the only moment where anyone on that stage gave Claudia any recognition of personhood. Madeleine chose vampirism for Claudia, without her there would be no point.

And after all of it. All the torment, the humiliation, the torture. When they finally kill her. Santiago takes her dress as a trophy, but it's not a trophy of her, it's his perceived victory over Louis.

They fucking killed her. Desecrated her remains.

And it still wasn't about her.

[covenofthearticulate]

once again stewing over how fucking mean and vindictive the show made Louis to his own family as some sort of grizzly angsty "you have to separate yourself from everything you love because you're a MONSTER now" when in reality Louis literally said:

It was only now as a vampire that I did come to know my sister, forbidding her the plantation for the city life which she so needed in order to know her own time of life and her own beauty and come to marry, not brood for our lost brother or my going away or become a nursemaid for our mother. And I provided for them all they might need or want, finding even the most trivial request worth my immediate attention. My sister laughed at the transformation in me when we would meet at night and I would take her from our flat out the narrow wooden streets to walk along the tree-lined levee in the moonlight, savoring the orange blossoms and the caressing warmth, talking for hours of her most secret thoughts and dreams, those little fantasies she dared tell no one and would even whisper to me when we sat in the dim-lit parlor entirely alone. And I would see her sweet and palpable before me, a shimmering, precious creature soon to grow old, soon to die, soon to lose these moments that in their intangibility promised to us, wrongly…wrongly, an immortality.

silver losing the crazypoll is my reign of fear and censorship. you dont know him like i do

[hekateinhell]

You know what else drives me insane about Lestat, Louis, and Armand?

Aside from Gabrielle, Armand is the only one alive today who has known Lestat the longest.

Aside from Lestat, Armand is also the only one alive today who has known Louis the longest.

Maybe it's something, maybe it's nothing, but I lose it every time I remember how deeply all three of their histories and arcs intertwine throughout the entirety of TVC. Like, whether Louis knew it or not, the ball started rolling for him when Armand and Lestat first met in 1781.

William Moriarty is the definition of be gay do crime

I’m very sick rn, uni’s shit because I’m sick, I’ve just had a full on mental breakdown triggered by my fast approaching 22th birthday (it’s tomorrow).

But, I have bought a cinema ticket to see All Of Those Voices next Wednesday. There was one last seat perfectly in the middle of a row waiting for me. So I feel a little better now :’)

Claudia is a liability and a vulnerability to Armand's control and relationship with Louis; she's defiant, she's stubborn, she's a young girl, she's a grown woman, she's independant, she's a reminder of Lestat, she's a daughter, she's a sister, she lives in Louis' mind rent-free, she was there first-

I'm so pissed off. just. can't stop imagining how they talked about buying a license for the show.

“let's get interview with the vampire from AMC!” “but it has gays, we can't show gays!” “nah, we'll just cut out all kisses and sex and call them friends in dubbing it'll be fine” “yeah, what can go wrong, it's not like them being in a relationship will be important to the plot, right?”

and yeah it worked in the first season. it looked… well it was watchable.

but with season two this fucked up approach bite them in the ass from the first episode.

cause THEY CUT THE FUCK OUT WHOLE LAST SCENE WITH ARMAND! discussion about pages from Claudia diary? who cares. Armand is now an official part of the interview he was so against at the start? and didn't want to be a part of? who cares.

I was gonna stop watching russian version… but now I maybe stay to check how fucked up it'll end up

[a-wondering-thought]

i really wanna read the Moriarty The Patriot manga but i think there's like 18 books?? and there's no way my local library will have all of them bc i'm not sure if they'll even have one, so i'm debating whether or not i should buy like the first two or three and gradually get more...
