guys is it a safe space to say that for far too long i thought Marius and Magnus were the same person cause I didn't read the name carefully enough
Thinking about the family dynamics in IWTV. Lestat and Claudia's relationship obviously mirrors that mother daugther relationship where the mother secretly resents the daughter for capatalizing her husbands attention. People say Louis and Claudia's relationship mirrors the mom who constantly chooses her partners over you but thats not true. Louis and Claudia's relationship is that of the father who keeps dating women that hate his kids and antagonizes them and he refuses to see it. He also plays the role of the emotionally stunted father that forces his daughter to mother him because he is basically incapable of being a functional human being particularly in season 2.
Obviously these are two queer men. But one of them having the motherly or fatherly role in their fucked up family dynamic is less of who is the man or woman in the relationship and moreso who best mirrors these well established family dynamics. Atleast to me. In short justice for Claudia she deserved to take a gun to both of them.
Today I present to you a fragment from tvl, where Armand is talking to Lestat after their fight in the palace. Armand is trying to persuade Lestat and Gabrielle into keeping him with them and I just can't stop thinking about his words here.
As we know Lestat disregarded Armand's words by turning Louis, but it's a very long time after this argument. I can't stop wondering wheter it's Lestat's powerlessnes against breaking this pattern after so many years, or rather his belief that whatever Armand said is not true. I myself can't tell if it was a lie told by someone who's tangled in "the old ways" and whose whole world just crumbled, or just a fact about vampirism.
Anyways my media literacy is a little bit lacking and I can't wait to find out more about book armandstat. Their dynamic is so delicious....
“How words came out like canaries, summer fruit in the dead of winter. They were all in love with him.”
I finished the first part of my Lestat page, enjoy!
that's how it feels to read Lestat's and Nicki's argument in the theatre
The Reticent Vampire of the 9th Arrondissement!

crazy face to make at one half of the couple you’re impromptu divorce lawyering for after you’ve just exposed seventy years worth of his lies including but not limited to aiding abetting and directing the death of two beautiful lesbians one of which was sort of his stepdaughter also btw this couple is comprised of nuclear warheads in the shape of beautiful men and you sort of had a thing with both of them that one time in the seventies when you thought you were going to get high and your dick sucked but instead got saw-trapped by a renegade botticelli angel with all mental illnesses in the dsm-5 and a couple others we haven’t categorized yet. daniel molloy you will live forever
In case anyone wants to contact amc about their continuous exclusion of Assad Zaman:
email: amcnconnect@amcnetworks.com
if you’re not sure what to say, someone wrote a template in the notes that you can copy and paste.
