since it seems like there's a decent amount of people who would want to take part in this, i'm going to start piecing together an actual event! if anyone has any suggestions, please let me know 🫶
trying to gauge possible interest on a tolkien yuri event! i'm thinking something fairly casual, perhaps choosing from a list of prompts and then deciding your own pairing to create for. it would be open for writers and visual artists! pls see poll below 🫶
don’t let the black & white pic fool you, the last residential school didn’t close until 1998. and indig kids are still being forcibly removed from their homes by the govt, now disguised as the foster care system. canada needs to stop “mourning” and start reparations.
missionary work is literally what colonialism was historically. sending christian priests and settlers to convert "unenlightened" indigenous people was the whole shtick for colonizing the americas.
@jewish_activist
literally how can u be “””super liberal””” if ur surrounding urself w people who actively stand against all the things u are supposed to be fighting for? 😭😭😭
the difference between this lestat and louis’ lestat is absolutely striking. his eyes are different. his hair is different. this is not the charming man louis met in new orleans! was he ever that man at all?!
so close! he actually disfigured her so badly doing it the singular time while she was alive that he burned her in the sun to hide the evidence because even he knew he fucked up after that 💓
i love this because i love the animalistic aspect of vampires. they’re pretty good (if not strange and unusual) at wearing their silly human suits and blending in but when vamp on vamp violence occurs they’re acting like a gang of street cats 😭
#iwtv
see i always saw claudia's attempts to turn multiple boys and it never sticking, when compared to the "success" (though not done by her technically) of madeleine's transformation as a metaphor for comphet but that's just me...
why people get so angry when someone says claudia is a lesbian, like yes she dated charlie but there’s no way she loved him even as much as she loved madeleine, everyone talks about comphet but the moment you see it in media you start crying and throwing up
people questioning why he looks like he’s laughing as if we aren’t dealing with one of the most prolific masochists around. lestat “tell me that i’m bad, it makes me feel so good” de lioncourt laughing as his husband smacks him against a wall? likely.
thinking about how their hearts were probably beating in sync during this entire scene. i wonder if louis felt lestat’s heart drop out of sync with his as he was dying…
#iwtv
i've said it before and i'll say it again i will defend claudia w my life. louis failed her. lestat failed her. armand never even tried. it was hit after hit for that poor girl and she didn't even ask for any of it!! throw those men in the pit!!!!
louis, thinking this would be their last kiss for *all* of eternity. lestat thinking it was their last kiss of *this* eternity before they started their new lives together. they were both so deep in their plotting but for this moment they were just each other’s…💔
#iwtvspoilers
rolin jones implying that rashid is gaslighting louis about his own past is very fascinating. the final scene where his memories start breaking through and rashid Becomes armand in response is so perfect bc it literally shows him doing exactly that. he is +
it’s so cool how even though louis has not physically aged, you can just tell he’s old. the things he has seen and his experiences have still aged him, just not in the classical sense. jacob does an amazing job in regards to playing louis’ age by using demeanor
#iwtv
assad zaman is such an it boy. the people's princess. 10k+ likes on a handful of armand tweets. non-fans fawning over him despite not actually watching the show. fancasts abound. it is well deserved.
hating your period is literally the same as hating getting a headache or stomach pain. you don’t have to like every thing your body does simply because it’s your body. if something is painful, causes you problems physically/emotionally, etc. you don’t have to like it 😭
i find it interesting how a handful of iwtv fans literally fall into the exact same deluded line of thinking that lestat himself does—that louis and claudia being black doesn’t add an important aspect to their dynamic bc they’re all vampires.
daniel is so smart. like he’s outsmarting old ass vampires smart. and i love how intelligent he is and how it juxtaposes against all the other human characters. daniel has had this brush w death before, he has had an entire life and now he’s dying so he’s just GOING FOR IT
"god how do you manage it" i can't believe louis loathes himself so much he imagines his ex husband calling him hard to love while his current husband is trying to fuck him 😭
i love how louis thought that lestat was the exception to how vampires are and that he was the norm, and that he needed to find other vampires because they’d be like him. then he meets those other vampires and they’re all worse than lestat and it turns out HE was the exception
i hope their roles in interview with the vampire lead to big breaks for the cast, bailey and sam in particular. every person in that show is so talented, i want to see them BOOKED AND BUSY between iwtv commitments!
"as her mind and spirit turn 19, 20, 25, 63, 358" but if louis and claudia are in paris until 1949 and that's when the theater coven kills claudia...she never even made it to 63
@milkylewinsky
my nanny had one of these when she was in her last months and she loved it, she called it her baby and couldn’t be apart from it. it provided her more comfort and stability than anything, they’re a truly amazing thing ❤️ thank you for saying thus
lupita nyong’o is my ideal fancast for akasha. after her amazing performances in jordan peele’s us i’ve been itching to see her in more horror or horror adjacent roles. you can’t tell me she wouldn’t kill it.
american mutuals i ask you very kindly to read up on ICWA (indian child welfare act) and the dangers it being overturned by the supreme court poses for indigenous communities all across the country. separating indigenous children from their families and their communities +
i feel kinda bad for people getting into tvc from the show because they’re probably going to be expecting louis to be a lot different than he actually is. i’d be so disappointed going from show!louis to book!louis LMAO
if i was getting paid to stare longingly into the eyes of jacob anderson i’d never shut up about it i’d be the most annoying person on god’s green earth
this entire moment was high camp. the stare. the “come hither” finger motion. the way he dragged her under the table like a literal storybook monster. i loved this scene.
#iwtv
i’d love to know what kind of hair they wanted louis to have. because not only is his hair historically accurate for black men at the time, but a large facet of his character is how he feels the need to assimilate into white high society in order to be respected as a +
if i see one more person act like louis’ sexuality is at all ambiguous i will lose it. do people not know what beards are anymore? did y’all completely ignore lily telling lestat that louis only visits her to talk? or him saying he sees her to keep up appearances? 😭
#iwtv
literally, physically attempting to prevent something from exposing louis’ real memories. i am GRIPPED by this dynamic but i feel awful for louis. pls free him amc he has suffered enough 💔
i think claudia calling lestat her uncle and louis her father was a deliberate choice. not only to reflect the societal times they’re in but also as a reflection of the connection she feels with both of them. louis is paternal and loving, he teaches her gently +
the difference between this lestat and louis’ lestat is absolutely striking. his eyes are different. his hair is different. this is not the charming man louis met in new orleans! was he ever that man at all?!
the ppl in the quotes can honestly say whatever they want bc not a single kpop artist they like will ever reach the same level of cultural relevance and industry/gp reverence iu has.
y’all need to read the poem her daughter wrote about the way her mother’s memory is being pillaged and commodified constantly because this shit is disrespectful as hell.
anyways here are some photos of black men from as early as the 1890s to the late 1910s with hairstyles similar to how louis’ hair is done in the tv show.
#iwtv
i have so much to say about how they were both trying to manipulate one another into a false sense of security here but neither could successfully manipulate the other w/o manipulating themselves too
i don’t know if i agree that lestat views claudia as a romantic rival in any capacity. i think he sees her as his general competition for louis’ love, and seeing the way louis became a shell of himself when she was gone confirmed that.
#iwtv

this is so “but then he is so good at grieving! he wears woe as others wear velvet; sorrow flatters him like the light of candles; tears become him like jewels” of him
y’all please don’t go searching for jacob’s personal spotify account. he privated it when people found the LDPDL playlist the first time. it was kind of him to share this with us, don’t overstep boundaries!! this is basic!!
#iwtv
i’m holding out some hope that since this was from claudia’s perspective and the entire event of louis actually being beaten to a pulp was out of her vision that these events didn’t take place this way.
you can love a character & still admit when they’re wrong. i love claudia but i acknowledge her flaws (none she’s perfect) & can hold her accountable for her wrongdoings (she’s never done anything wrong in her life) & call her out on her actions (which are always right)
#iwtvspoilers
lestat waxing poetry about new orleans while staring at louis near tears really got me. the entire time he was describing the city it felt like a drawn out confession of love to louis…
i’d bet every dollar i have that the “abusive language” was her finally expressing how fed the fuck up she was over being slowly pushed out of her own group so she could make bbc millions in cfs and brand deals 💀
lestat: “i’ll save you from all these expectations and projections from others, louis!”
lestat: *projects his own expectations and ideals onto louis instead*
as a big fan of both claudia de pointe du lac and emily dickinson, i’ve decided to do a deep dive into the poems claudia referenced in ep. 6 of interview with the vampire. please come along with me 🖤

#InterviewWithTheVampire
claudia watching louis cry in front of his headstone with the voiceover saying “they made me to be louis’ sister” was too much for my heart. i love them so much.
lupita aside though i think it’d be great if akasha was a break out role for a lesser known black actress. imagine having the queen of vampires on your résumé as one of your first roles.
imagine if louis uses his cane knife to finish lestat off…that same knife he pulled on paul, the reason lestat chose him to begin with…it is both the beginning and end of this stage of their relationship i’m sick
amc gave us the most bone chilling, cherubic looking armand possible, in an age range that feels compatible for the way the other characters have been aged up, and y’all are just complaining racistly bc he isn’t white. get a job, get a life!!!

Armand is a Russian red head from Ukraine. He’s also actually pretty young, also an immortal child, with red hair. The immortal child part is significant because it plays an important role in his character.
@hyacinthfield
living like that caused me to lose almost all of my friends when i was in my late teens/early 20s lmao. mental illness can be a reason for behaviour but it isn't an excuse, and it doesn't render the feelings of ppl u treat poorly meaningless!!!
claudia is such a deeply intelligent character. she was just a few steps ahead of everyone else, she had her fingers on the very pulse of that operation. she knew *exactly* what was going to happen. seeing her get her revenge with such dramatic flair was beautiful.
#iwtvspoilers
everybody clap for the styling team that gets bailey bass all done up for her public engagements. she looks flawless every time, she’s always on theme, and the outfits are fun and youthful while still being professional. 10/10.
i’m excited to see claudia actually be a part of théâtre de vampires. her doom will hurt so much more knowing she felt she was part of a community of likeminded vampires, just for them to turn on her and laugh as she dies 🥲
