unpopular opinion is that I TRULY believe that Shadow and Bone could have been successful on its own without the Crows. If the showrunners believed in it and actually gave it a chance and made Alina the MAIN CHARACTER, it would have worked
The
#SixofCrowsSpinoff
is going to be rough for Jesper. He'll find out that the boy that he promised never to hide from, is hiding his whole identity. His friend, who he thought he'll never see again, will nearly die because of him. And Kaz will never trust him because of it
There were so many scenes they should have included. The whole plot with the Apparat, White Cathedral, Toyla and Tamar's loyalties, THE SCENE WHERE NIKOLAI PURPOSES TO ALINA WHILE IN HIS DEMON FORM!! Among others
It just sucks because Jessie, Archie, Paddy, Anna and Lewis, Daisy-- the shadow and bone cast deserved their adaptation. They should have had their chance to shine as MAIN CHARACTERS BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THEY ARE PLAYING
The Shadow and Bone trilogy is over-hated and underrated and I'll die on this hill. At least till we get the scene of Nikolai remembering Alina in his demon form and proposing to her. Because I NEED that scene
Jesper is going to go through actual hell in the spinoff and while I badly want it, I also just want this poor guy to be happy and hug his friends, they are the only people who really know him and love him for it 😭
And it's hard enough as it is for him to embrace being Grisha, but wait till he sees the Ice Court. The very embodiment of how dangerous it is to be Grisha. He'll even have to kill Durast while he's there
#iwtvspoilers
I'm this 🤏 close to blocking anyone that says that Lestat just stood there and watched his daughter die. Like no bitch, please have some media literacy. It's VERY CLEAR something else is going on here
the funniest thing ab this episode is that while watching lestat resist & fail at following the script, i kept thinking "they are making it too obvious as if they think the viewers are dumb" but now i am seeing some takes on tl and oh. dumb is underestimated
@illyrianfields
I think C lit up M's life so much in so many ways and made up for her past life. When the coven gave M the choice between living or dying, what I heard was : live in darkness or die with light by your side. So it is survival to me
Y'all don't understand I NEED that
#SixofCrowsSpinoff
because I can't stop thinking about his smile. This is my favorite shot in the whole season. It's constantly on my mind. I can't sleep because I'm thinking about ✨ him ✨ and his ✨smile ✨
Jesper and Inej are what people without siblings think siblings that are close in age are like.
Kaz and Nina are ACTUALLY what siblings that are close in age are like.
I love the Star wars books being SO MUCH gayer than any other piece of star wars media.
What do you mean Obi Wan is canonically bisexual? What do you mean two of Padmé's handmaids are fucking each other? WHAT DO YOU MEAN ITS ALL CANON???
In the Revenge of the Sith novel when Palpatine alludes to a senator sneaking off to Obi-wan's room late at night to hook up, Anakin just immediately assumes it's a man.
AND SANTIAGO ISN'T EVEN STRAIGHT!!
I'm starting to think that woman from last week couldn't make any vampires because you have to have gay ones. Straight people either can't become vampires or they 🦐 themselves very early on
Bringing this back because it happened. AGAIN.
Reminder that Kaz would kill you if you told him Jesper and Wylan shouldn't be allowed to get married. He hates you actually, he told me himself.
Also if you are anti-LGBTQ+, no one wants you in the fandom. Leave. Fuck off.
Apparently this is an unpopular or uncommon opinion but I think they are both pretty good parents but in different ways. Lestat nurtures Claudia's vampire side while Louis nurtures her human side. They are only "bad" parents when they try to do what the other is best at
Fuck you Netflix. The only thing you want from them is the money you get from lesbians excited for crumbs. THEY ARE CANON WIVES! But all we got were a couple of glances. If you REALLY want what they have marry them in

Looks like Hozier will be releasing an acoustic version of Be tomorrow! As well as a deluxe version of Wasteland, Baby with a song titled Why Would You Be Loved! (Potentially for the album's anniversary?)

This scene was legitimately sickening. Her just being dragged along. The begging and the whining like a child. This scene is truly horrifying..... I used to be all "I can't hate Louis! He can do anything and I'd still like him" NOT THAT THOUGH??
She's literally turning purple here as he tells her he's going to kill her loved ones. Why the fuck does anyone think this is hot? This isn't hot. It's not kinky. It isn't romantic. This is abuse.
I will not stand for them doing what the book does where after the Loumand break up, Louis loses all contact with Armand and Daniel. He needs to still be in their orbit at the VERY LEAST if not besties with them
dont hate me for this but after getting that loumand dynamic I NEEED modern armanddaniel to also include louis in some way. They have to make that old mans bones crumble together
My theory on why Louis gives the hallucination such an emotional send off is it's him "breaking things off" HIS way. How he would have liked to have done it with the real Lestat.
With no poisoned victims or elaborate schemes. Just the two of them on their park bench 😥
it’s so touching that louis knew it was time to let go of lestat and decided to walk his own hallucination to a bench so they could have one last conversation like the old times before simply letting him wash away with the rain
I'm excited for the trial but not because Lestat is coming back, or the burning of the TdV, or the Santiago-Lestat cunt off--- No. I'm excited because I'll finally be able to finish the edit that has been sitting in my drafts folder since episode 1 😭
#iwtvspoilers
I kinda hate that this was their last conversation alone ☹️. Their final conversation in the novel was so sweet and heartbreaking and I kinda wish this version of Louis and Claudia got to have that tenderness and love in their final moments together 🥺
You know what fuck the haters I hope we get LOTS of Loumand. All of it! All the loads of Loumand. The coffin sharing, the coffin SEX, the floating sex, the sex on every surface and location for 77 years! Fuck it! I demand a Loumand wedding on May 12th. It's THEIR season bitches!
Inej fell first and just as hard but because she knows how to fall and catch herself, she didn't hit the ground hard. Kaz fell hard and since he didn't let Inej teach him how to fall he faceplanted and broke his nose
Not to nerd out about writing and acting but I love this scene, it's literally so well done. It's makes you feel everything you're supposed to, joy for Claudia finally leaving, disgust and anger at Lestat for threatening to kill her and dragging her back home. SR even plays into+
@D4RKTR1CKZ
Maybe vampires have an open circulatory system? Like lobsters? 🤣 It's been a long time since I've had biology but that seems like it might work? Would explain both why they can drink so much AND have the blood in their "veins" because it wouldn't go to their stomachs 🤷♀️
I'm SO excited for S2's Loumand it's not even funny. I need to inject them into my veins. I'm a sucker for halfway couples. The almost Mr. Right couples. The angst of wanting so bad for it to be this person. And this trope with gay vampires? Give it to me now I'm so ready
Finally getting to THAT scene (the big Claudia one) in my read of IWTV and both nervous and exited. I know what's going to happen but reading it for the first time is still terrifying
I have 99 problems and a
#SixofCrowsSpinoff
would solve 103 of them. It would solve problems I didn't even know I had. It will clear my skin, make the rain go away, and clean my room. It'd solve all of the problems
Reminder: Kaz is already jealous. He already is jealous of Jesper and Nina and everyone else that can wrap their arms around Inej and hold her in ways he can't.
You don't have to erase Toyla's sexuality to have that narrative. Stop being an acephobe
I hate the narrative of ‘ I want tolya and inej to be together cause then I would make kaz jealous’. Like no. Tolya ‘s canonically aroace so you can’t just erase that, and kaz just wants inej to be happy, and would let her go if that’s what she wants??
1) This would be an AMAZING plot twist 🤩
2) If they use some of this scene AR wrote, ep8's title could be "I am immortal, more or less" 👀. A reference to Claudia, a reference to a potential Louicide, and a line from TVL, AND a line said by Lestat in the episode
One of my bets is that the twist Sam is talking about is Lestat rejecting Louis in Nola. I mean, Anne wrote that into the script. Anne saw this happening. It was always a possibility.
@tswifterastour
No she's definitely just talking about her friends and getting old. Like everyone in their 30s are either settling down and having kids or are getting high. Fits the theme of the song better too
Cause kicked puppies tend to think their sad little I want cock eyes will get them everything they want- hence they must be put in place.
Wait who said that-
@Armandsbaguette
And the fact that Parkinson's disease can be caused by a head injury 👀
I personally think it's a mix of both though. Trauma (the blunt kind and the mental kind) and vampire magic
+into the over the top evilness of Lestat without trying to make you sympathize with him or see his side. He just leans into the villainy of the character and it helps so much with getting how THIS, more than anything, is the last straw for Claudia.
Daniel: What happened between us that night in San Francisco?
Armand: I had decades of rage to process and it was random AND unfortunate that you decided that night to dabble in fuckery. If not you it would have been the next one
Louis 🤨: That's my line....?
daniel's really one unlucky bastard tho bc all these decades and he stumbled into and experienced the most unhinged angry and jealous version of Armand that's so funny
Fun fact: While Kaz on its own isn't a name, Kazimir (more commonly spelled Casimir) is a Slavic name. Casimir could either mean Keeper, Protector, or Destroyer of Peace depending on the sourcei
I wonder if the reason why we haven't had any Loumand sex scenes like we had for Loustat in S1 is because the BDSM aspect was just TOO MUCH for cable 😕
Some of the covers on this thread are alright 😕 but this one? What's even going on here? Who are these people? Is that tiny Louis? Why is he posing LIKE THAT? Why is, presumably Claudia, not blonde? WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE??
@ReadingRenii
Sorry, I wish I could edit the tweet and make it more clear what I was meaning. I meant more like a m/w straight passing relationship (is straight passing the right term? I'm not sure). They're just the first we've seen since Grace and her husband

#iwtvspoilers
Personally love the end confirmed that the penthouse was NOT in fact a stone cold prison Armand kept Louis in but in fact LOUIS'S PENTHOUSE! LOUIS OWNED THAT SHIT. Impressive as hell I love him
This was Louis's first REAL time with a man he probably thought that was just par for the course. "Queer people just drink each other's blood during sex 🤷♀️" 🤣
@Randomghos57716
I ran out of characters. I meant to say He'll never trust him the same again. Kaz trusts him in CK but their friendship isn't the same after the revel, it doesn't ever fully go back to the "walk into a blood bath" trust they had in the beginning of SoC
