Analyzing gothic horror literature through a moral lens is the worst thing you can do as any lit major. I can hear your professors sighing while grading your paper.
@CrissiAndCo
His reaction isn’t what people would prefer I guess, I guess that makes him seem too cocky or self-absorbed or whatever, when actually it’s him screaming back at the universe that he refuses to lie down and die, and I won’t fault him for that, I can’t!
What books did you read? Louis didn't care much about Benji or Sybelle. If we want to talk about kids, let's talk about Rose and Victor. Louis literally saved her from fire, just like Claudia. They're precious to Loustat in their PL era.
it's literally in the books though. he tends to go back and forth between them. Armand and his two kids are like a huge part of Louis' story later on. it's a little hard to get through parts of the narrative without mentioning that Louis was involved in those kid's lives.
cheeks makes the lower half of his face appear slim & almost delicate which is why his appearance is so surprising in e8
it’s not only the costuming that made lestat appear intimidating and imposing, it’s sam’s control of his expressions as he played different versions of lestat
@SarabethPollock
Thanks for all of the footage. Had a chat with your
#IWTV
guys for a bit. Watched them with the sweetest embrace to each other as they said bye! Got a selfie too. Will post soon
How much are we gonna get from TVL in s2? Possibly more than I thought. We already saw Lestat in the red cloak, Nicki, and now this Armand (their first meet-cute? No, fight?).

i feel like they might revisit louis not intervening to help emilia. it just feels so odd and very lestat that he would call it a “human affair” and walk away and i think maybe we’re supposed to question that, i’m predicting that it’s gonna come up again
So Jacob confirmed they're levitating. Then, Louis, why did you say you didn't know if Lestat could fly when you guys levitated whenever having s*x? Did you think it's not really flying or just a gay thing? Answer me!
“I’m in love with you,” I responded.
He laughed the most beguiling and gentle laugh.
“Of course you are,” he replied. “I understand perfectly because I’m in love with myself. The fact that I’m not transfixed in front of the nearest mirror takes a great deal of self-control.”
Anne Rice was correct for giving her vampires the ability to see their reflections in the mirror. If Lestat couldn’t look at himself in the mirror, his vain ass would die!
My birthday is approaching, and I wanted to do sth special for myself and my

girlies. Their first flight in QotD is one of my favorite Loustat moments. Thanks to
@suikamelon6
, I got this beautiful art.
Happy Birthday, Sam!! You're a brilliant, hardworking actor and a wonderful person with a good heart. Thanks for being you. Hope you have some time to enjoy your birthday with your loved ones ❤️ 🩷💕
lestat believing that louis will hate him forever after the paris trial...lestat's message in the 1970s when he believes that louis is dying, desperate for him to know that even if he hates him, he won't die unloved by him....."tell him i love him, armand, tell him!!"......god
Happy Birthday, Lestat! You're the most fearless, reckless, resilient, enthusiastic, indomitable person I have ever known, truly admiring and endlessly fascinating. Thanks, Anne, Iwtv team, and Sam, for letting us meet him in such magical ways 🩷🩷🩷
J: (Loustat relationship is) love. The deepest, most upsetting kind of love you can possibly experience.
S: You can only love someone in that capacity when you can destroy someone in that capacity. The love they have for each other is cyclical.
@gingerhermitess
But Lestat wasn't punished for making Claudia. I always thought that's not right. Also, Louis will feel so guilty for asking Lestat for making her and agreeing with Claudia with the murder plan when they are both punished, enough to repress his memory.
one thing gothic truly understands is that grief is the most romantic emotion while repulsion is the most erotic one. another thing it understands is the appeal of a fucked up landscape
My heart... the fact that Sam is
#Lestat
and he saw this and said "It's Nicolas." T_T with a big smile.
I'm very slow at processing things, so just realised that's the same voice he's gonna use to say "Nicolas... Nicki..." as Lestat in 18th century.

#iwtv
OMFG!
I'm pretty sure Lestat is already in a dungeon. Armand would let him see Louis through his mind, them flirting, fxcking, which would certainly break him from inside, becoming vulnerable and insane before the trial.
I’m seeing all sorts of takes about DumpStat still being in the dumpster…
But guys… what if Armand’s already got him locked up?
Flirting with Lestat’s husband while Lestat’s going crazy in a dungeon…
I will begin to slowly reveal celebrities that are and are not vampires. If you want to know about one in particular, please comment below. I shall not be silenced.
@wolfsbane_siren
Ppl will come back when s2 airs, but I wish that we could just focus on what WE LIKE, not on what we don't like or what others like. Some ppl think they have a right to harass others 🙄
#iwtvspoilers
So they are going to explore the "softer" side of Loustat this season.
“That’s what I was more interested in exploring,” Reid said. “Like, that’s the haunting. It’s the thing that you want to forget, that you have to forget.”

1. Loustat chemistry, beyond comparison.
2. Armand, you fucking liar, when I catch you!!
3. Poor Nicki, we will save you. Hang in there 😭😭
They might have changed the story in the show, but in the books Lestat didn't like TdV, either. He likes more classical ones like Shakespeare and operas. And ofc, Louis went to see Macbeth with Lestat and Lestat watched Beauty and the Beast with Louis numerously, their favorites
@_emkjay
No one is objectively truthful. But there were facts omitted, like Gabrielle was there when Lestat and Armand first met, or the things wrt Nicki. So we will get a better picture when his pov is told. I think it is pointless to say which version is more truthful.
@Iloustat
I always felt like Louis wanted to be questioned and doubted, and that's why he wanted the second interview. He's looking for truth, but he's too traumatic to face it by himself and because of his complicated relationship with Armand. But this time he's determined to do it.
acho mt engraçado o discurso "o lestat foi feito pra ser odiado na 1ª temporada" porque eu amei esse desgraçado e não larguei a mão dele desde o primeiro momento em que ele abriu a boca, foi encontro de almas pprt eu já sabia que ele era santo sem nem msm conhecer o passado dele
Things I will not be able to handle:
🩸Loustat reunion
🩸Wolfkiller and his red cloak
🩸Nickistat, their first and last
🩸The trial
🩸When Daniel remembers and calls Armand, "Boss!"
🩸Armand, kissing Lestat before throwing him off the tower
Things I will not be able to handle:
💜 LELIO and/or Harlequin Lestat
💜 Claudeleine
💜 Even a hint of Nicki
💜 Wolfkiller
💜 Lestat haunting the narrative
💜 “No Pain” Armand
💜 Louis seeing Lestat for real
💜 “I want you more than anything in the world
This is me. I don't need extra sadness or worries or battle. I want to watch, laugh, make art, write fics, be silly and have fun in my one and only fandom
