You don't *need* that new person or relationship to make you feel alive, you just need to dive back into the things that give you joy. Remember who you are.

I'm a sucker for a good whimsical tale and a story of lovers against time. I wish it did better at the box office would love for there to be more movies like this.

some people think writers are so eloquent and good with words, but the reality is that we can sit there with our fingers on the keyboard going, “what’s the word for non-sunlight lighting? Like, fake lighting?” and for ten minutes, all our brain will supply is “unofficial”, and we know that’s not the right word, but it’s the only word we can come up with…until finally it’s like our face got smashed into a brick wall and we remember the word we want is “artificial”.

My mind races so fast, I can't keep up, I feel like I'm standing at the train platform and a bullet train speeds by and I have to pick the right moment to jump on but the doors are only open 5 inches wide.

SPOILERS

Finally watched AMC's interview with the vampire and after being in the TikTok fandom for a while without context. Now having context I have no idea why anyone should aspire to these two.

I love a good fictional toxic couple as much as the next personal who grew up to love mean mafia boss and detached alpha love stories but that it, fiction. It was obvious that Lestat only saw Louis as a possession, a new lover in this new city, maybe he hoped that Louis would love him back and by love I mean be utterly and completely devoted to him but still being his stubborn self. Because Lestat at the end of it all wants to be entertained and nothing is more terrifying to a vampire than boredom.

And for a while it seemed so, they were "happy and in love" but it wasn't enough for Lestat... Predictably. So he cheats. And it was cheating because prior Lestat had sold Louis on it being just the two of them vs the world. Then he brings in Antoinette and tells Louis he likes variety. Lestat had separated Louis from everyone he knew, evening offing Lilly and here he is telling Louis that he wants his variety, opening the relationship but only wanting it to be open on his end. Their relationship was doomed from the start, no healthy relationship could happen between a fledgling and maker the power difference was too much. Louis deceived himself that Lestat saw him as an equal, Lestat can't see anyone as an equal. He didn't not really care about Louis' feelings, we saw as much when he had Antoinette sing on his apology song to Louis. His pride was ultimately his downfall.

Ofcourse Louis is having a crisis of his existence something Lestat resents him for and here in comes my angel, Claudia.

I personally love the growth we see in her character from newly turned tween to going through a sort of puberty and dealing with the realities and limitations of her new life never really thought about the realities of being turned too young. Being forever stuck in a prepubescent body. And how even as she aged mentally she had the body of a child, who would love her then? "Perverts?" As she said.

Before watching the show I originally thought the show runners had pulled a Stephanie Meyer and maybe Louis had a child with some human woman. But this is much better.

Unfortunately she would later experience the harsh realities of being a woman, because youd think that being an all powerful vampire would protect you from S.A but I guess not. She became jaded but realised that louis loved her like a daughter like a sister, even though she was literally " a bandaid to a shitty marriage".

I laughed when Daniel said that because vampire or human. Having kids won't fix your relationship.

And it would be Claudia that would liberate them from Lestat, I can't imagine the anger she must've felt at Louis for not letting her burn him to confirm his death.

As for the ending, I loveeee Armand, so sage like and cook but I wonder what's in his past to make him like that and also when will Louis be old enough to go outside again.

Good Traits Gone Bad

Exploring good traits gone bad in a novel can add depth and complexity to your characters. Here are a few examples of good traits that can take a negative turn:

1. Empathy turning into manipulation: A character with a strong sense of empathy may use it to manipulate others' emotions and gain an advantage.

2. Confidence becoming arrogance: Excessive confidence can lead to arrogance, where a character belittles others and dismisses their opinions.

3. Ambition turning into obsession: A character's ambition can transform into an unhealthy obsession, causing them to prioritize success at any cost, including sacrificing relationships and moral values.

4. Loyalty becoming blind devotion: Initially loyal, a character may become blindly devoted to a cause or person, disregarding their own well-being and critical thinking.

5. Courage turning into recklessness: A character's courage can morph into reckless behavior, endangering themselves and others due to an overestimation of their abilities.

6. Determination becoming stubbornness: Excessive determination can lead to stubbornness, where a character refuses to consider alternative perspectives or change their course of action, even when it's detrimental.

7. Optimism becoming naivety: Unwavering optimism can transform into naivety, causing a character to overlook dangers or be easily deceived.

8. Protectiveness turning into possessiveness: A character's protective nature can evolve into possessiveness, where they become overly controlling and jealous in relationships.

9. Altruism becoming self-neglect: A character's selflessness may lead to neglecting their own needs and well-being, to the point of self-sacrifice and burnout.

10. Honesty becoming brutal bluntness: A character's commitment to honesty can turn into brutal bluntness, hurting others with harsh and tactless remarks.

These examples demonstrate how even admirable traits can have negative consequences when taken to extremes or used improperly. By exploring the complexities of these traits, you can create compelling and multi-dimensional characters in your novel.

Happy writing!
