IWTV ate my brain 🩸🧛♂️🥰 Single parent by day, social butterfly by night, and unflattered by fluorescent lighting. Trans & agender, any pronouns are fine.
Now I'm not saying this is going to happen or would even make sense, but how devastating would it be if Hallucistat *couldn't* talk because his throat is cut 💀💀💀

I think the particulars of Claudia's SA went too far, both what it consisted of conceptually and also in the telling of it. It was bad enough in the last season when it seemed to encompass one night's ordeal; did they need to amplify it to this degree?

Luke Brandon Field was impeccable in this episode. My heart shattered: "I don't want to rest" "I like my life" "A bright young reporter with a point of view." Desperately summoning up a tiny fragment of resistance to Armand's spell.
#iwtvspoilers
Hmm, the echo of "you sure about that?" in the park bench scene and then again moments later in the bedroom argument...
Also: Arun/Maître, the umbrella flex, and did Louis THROW AWAY HIS LIGHTER cause he won't need to light his own cigarettes now??? INSANE.
I love how serene Lestat looks in this "you and me" exchange. When has he ever looked so calm?? Also it's really reminding me of the infamous elevator poster, esp. the hair.

DAMN: "You get the impression that Armand has spent decades troubleshooting the best way to keep Louis by his side, resulting in a soft, solicitous attitude with an undertone of Munchausen's by proxy."
#iwtvspoilers
I am LOVING how they brought the buffoon and mimicry scene into this episode! Just when we think they haven't given us a beloved moment, they whip it out of their back pocket when you least expect it 🤩🤩🤩
🧐🧐🧐 "The series will premiere on the AMC cable network in the US and Canada on Sunday, May 12, at 6 p.m. PT (9 p.m. ET), but if you have the AMC Plus app, you can access new episodes a little earlier, from 12 a.m. PT (3 a.m. ET) every Sunday morning."
#iwtvspoilers
This gets more insane every time I watch it. The thoroughness with which Louis humiliates Santiago - "good boy"? The shock on everyone else's faces at his audacity?? The fact that Santiago takes the opportunity to grab his little waist??? Gold stars to everyone!!!
THIS. This is Eric's face when Assad talks about some of his iconic looks at Daniel being love. Omg, y'all, I adore these two together! Assad & Eric clearly are so fond of each other, it warms my decrepit heart 🥲🥹😭
Y'all, Madeleine breaks this window and it has a swastika on it. Hypothesizing that she is Jewish and the men outside (what I'm assuming is her shop) painted it. OMG 😱😱😱
Ugh, just saw that what I thought was a GUESS about a future ep was actually a spoiler from someone who got screeners. Clearly they shouldn't have, since abiding by the rules for them is really the lowest bar possible. There's always gotta be liars 😒
#InterviewWithTheVampire
i just know i’m gonna bust out laughing the moment lestat and daniel share a scene together. like, that man is gonna chew and spit lestat out in 12 seconds tops
@nocontextIestat
So often fanfic writers have to work hard for the canon characters to fit with the sexual content of their story. But Lestat has, like, so many fun canonical kinks that it practically writes itself!
Apparently that screener who can't keep their mouth shut (ie breaking agreement w/AMC) is sharing audio clips from the finale in Spaces??? If you're one of my mutuals and you're going to be sharing info from that, please let me know so I can mute you.
#InterviewWithTheVampire
I'm just gonna say it: Delainey is my forever Claudia. My dirty secret is that I've never much liked Claudia as a character - I know, very unpopular opinion - but that changed today. She was extraordinary and I am going to be soaking up every minute we have with her 🥰🥰🥰
Can't help but notice how he made sure to keep the left side of his hair tucked back all night 👀 That ear cuff was A Statement.

Question for all you IWTV lovelies: if you could pick one thing (character, scene, plot point, etc.) from the whole VC to appear in the show, what would it be? Mine: the entire scene of Lestat pleading with Louis in TotBT (+arson). Close second: Mojo.
I love it when interviewers give them the time to really delve into and be thoughtful about their characters' motivations. So many interviewers seem to rush people through a set of questions, the casual conversational ones are much more satisfying to me.
#InterviewWithTheVampire
So we're going to revisit that night, huh? Can we get a repeat of the undressing at each other bit because I never recovered from that the first time 🔥🔥🔥
Why does Armand look wayyyy young here? I can't figure out what Assad is doing differently with his face because he kind of looks like he's about 17. Is it just the angle?
In this moment Louis was so relatable as a parent: hearing his child's suffering, choked with anguish and paralyzing helplessness. Jacob is so talented to deliver this stripped raw vulnerability every week and keep us coming back for more 😫😫😫
someone just reminded me of that time when Jacob said that coffin was more comfortable when he was with Sam. like “when there were two of us in there it was fine"
God, Sam packs so much into these lines. Sadness, resignation, hopeless love for Louis and the city, all while making the elevated poetic language seem relaxed and unforced. And his face, so evocative of heartbreak and futile longing. Hurt us again, Sam 😭😭😭
it always moves me how this monologue can be seen as a metaphor for their relationship. the sheer vulnerability when lestat says desperately alive and desperately fragile, the sad smiles, the teary eyes and the emotion in their voices.. what a scene

Justin Kirk is gonna be Raglan James 👀👀👀 He was an older member of the Talamasca before he went on his adventure, so I'm guessing this is going to be how he's introduced and we'll see the rest of the TotBT story later.
Y'all, this is TOO MUCH. The bluest eyes, the coziest sweater, the cutest giggles, the insightful answers, the sarcastic wit, the love for people's silly usernames... there is not one second of this that will not live in my heart forever. HE IS MADE OF LIGHT AND JOY.
Hello lovelies! On this fine evening I ask: what is one positive thing IWTV fandom has brought to your life? My answer: finally getting to hear intelligent discussion about stories I have loved for 30 years, and gaining a deeper understanding of them because of that.

Btw, Lestat squishily birthing a bat from his throat? "Concerto for Gashed Throat and Orchestra"??? I want to make sweet love to every IWTV writer's brain, you sick f*ckers.
What is the going theory for when this kiss is taking place? I don't recognize Lestat's outfit, but it definitely doesn't look like 1700s to me and those certainly appear to be electric lights in the background. Is this Lestat imploring Armand for mercy for Louis at the trial???

Someone posted a side-by-side... and yes. It is. Reshot for all of us to endure. I think someone dropped Rolin on his head as a baby.
For those of a younger generation: if you were a goth kid in the 90s who was into dudes, odds are good that one or more of the guys in this movie awakened something in you. There was a lot of masculine beauty going around in the film, just like the show. Both things can be true.
How is it that Sam Reid, who is legitimately the sexiest man I've *ever* laid eyes on, can so adeptly embody Queen Bitchcunt Lestat and also be completely convincing as this sweet insecure nerdy cupcake? The ACTING SKILLS, my god 🤩🤩🤩
I love this clip 😍😍😍 As a non-actor, it's so interesting seeing a visual representation of Sam's process of sinking into the character. The way he embodies the distinct, feline fluidity of Lestat's movements is so 🤌😚
I'm just trying to imagine the conversation between these two fine actors and the intimacy coordinator that led to this series of gestures being committed to film. How did that even go 👀👀👀
His makeup is so 😙🤌 Eyes taking up half his face, lips like rose petals, blush perfectly accenting that granite jaw... makeup Emmy needed just for this 🥵🥵🥵 More men should take note: makeup is 🔥🔥🔥 on dudes.
I showed this picture to a friend who has no familiarity with anything VC related. She paused, backed up a step, and said, "I like it, I like what's going on, but I don't trust it." Now that's a woman with self preservation instincts 😂😂😂
#iwtv
SPECULATION: Armand finds Louis with Daniel too close to morning. Is upset/jealous that Louis has been talking to (banging?) a mortal because he saw something special in him. So Armand probes Daniel's mind and dredges up all his most shameful memories (the way Santiago 🧵
I think that look on Sam’s face isn’t just his love for Jacob but him witnessing our love for Jacob. Sam was in the van because Jacob was being mobbed! I do hope he knows how much he means to me and this fandom ❤️

SWEET JESUS. I'm serious people, I really don't know how much more of this I can take. The- it's the- hair and- *waves vaguely at all of him* How are y'all in his presence right now even coping with this???
I'm kinda morally neutral on spoilers shared by random people (properly tagged of course), I understand the impulse. But it really pisses me off that people who got the screeners are blabbing. If you can't keep to the agreement, you shouldn't be blessed with such generous bounty.
Such a great authentic smile from Sam! He looks so relaxed and happy, we love to see it. I wonder what it could be the reason 🤔🤔🤔 Maybe his bestie being absolutely magnetized to his side??? Also Jacob's shirt is fantastic and I love everything about that fit 😍😍😍
I'm always so amused by how open Sam is about Lestat's disdain for Armand. Forever making it clear that He's Just Not That Into Him. Poor yearning Armand 😂😂😂
How is it that *every* still of Armand looks like it could plausibly be in a fine art gallery? Every single part of this man is perfect, what the fuck.
@morganl3fae
I wanna know what
@dieworkwear
things of the vampire fashion in Dubai. Those pinstripe grey trousers + white dress shirt + what I think is a silk haori jacket as dressed-down loungewear is such a choice.
So you're telling me they will both be feeling the deaths of their fledglings at the same time. Cool cool cool. I'm sure they'll be permitted to comfort one another in their grief, yes? They will have that mercy???
The realization, after Madeleine revealed she "feels" Louis, is that when Claudia dies it will be Lestat who FEELS it and Louis vicariously through him...JESUS-😫
#InterviewWithTheVampire
Me hearing rumors of drama in the fandom which are nowhere to be found on my timeline after unfollowing a bunch of people recently.

#iwtvspoilers
Eglee, girl, don't be crying over that blonde bitch. You got a fine ass man comforting you right there, turn around and get you some of that!
Came for Loumand and ended up staying for the tea because WDYM Santiago got some face from Eglee only to dump her ass for Celeste AGAIN!? All that mess for a man called Windsor...Eglee, viens à moi

#IWTVSPOILERS
What... what is happening to me... Nervous Assad? Intimidated by his castmates? Sweet boy 🥺 And oh, the look on Eric's face when Assad says that some of those looks (that he gives out-of-character-ish) are love! Eric actually looks choked up! THIS CAST IS A TREASURE. PROTECT.
I found it strange that Armand called Lestat Magnus's bastard, but I just realized maybe it was because he was turned without permission of the coven leader, who was Armand (in his telling of the story). Maybe those are considered social outcasts at that point in vampire history?
I give up. This man is a drug-induced hallucination. I can no longer accept the conspiracy theory that any real person can look this perfect. I'm on my knees. May god have mercy on my soul.
#InterviewWithTheVampire
Some folks are thinking this is from a revisit to the s1e5 fight scene. I'm not buying that until I see it in full context. He's wearing black, but he's in plenty of other black/dark outfits other times. My first thought was this is pre-trial when he's under Armand's tender care.
Ooooh, I don't think I've seen this one before! The article says it's from episode 6, and I recognize the outfit Santiago has on back there 👀👀👀
#InterviewWithTheVampire
#iwtv
Y'all, Eric is just so lovely. To have such an experienced veteran actor so devoted to his younger castmates, always ready to publicly hype them up, I LOVE to see it! This man is not jaded and I'm so glad to see him having the time of his life too 😍 😍😍
Look at this gorgeous man 😍😍😍 He is going to BRING the pathos and devastation, I just know it. Joe Potter I am ready for your Nicki to be in my eyeballs!
Lestat trying to warn and protect Louis from his well intentioned but naive, misguided impulses that will only cause tragedy down the line? WHO ELSE DOES THAT SOUND LIKE.
@FlyGuillotine18
Also re: Sam's staring, this is why I would probably make a damn fool of myself if I ever spoke to him! He looks like he makes really direct, intense eye contact and while I admire that in a person I'd pass tf out. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences ❤️❤️❤️
in honor of the new teaser, here is sam talking about being made to be harlequin and not lelio... and rolin calling lelio boring. little spoiler warning if u dont wanna know about book to show changes!! 🤓
