Experience Tumblr like never before
Do you think the show will let us know Lestat becomes a rockstar to try and shield Louis? Or do you think they will try and make it like Lestat wants Louis to know he is fine without him? (He’s not)
I think the ending of S2 was a deliberate setup to coincide with how TVL begins — Louis is in danger, and Lestat concocts the rockstar career in an effort to shield him.
They let us hear all those threats against Louis for two reasons. One, it was meant to show that Louis is owning himself finally and is not the same as he was before. He is now The Vampire Louis. Two, like I said, it was setting up Lestat’s main reason for doing what he does with the rockstar shenanigans.
I also don’t think Lestat will be actively trying to convince Louis that he’s “fine” without him. It will be more like Lestat doesn’t want to burden Louis or be “too much” for Louis and will only want to give what he thinks Louis wants to receive.
In other words, he will be at Louis’ feet…..just like he’s really always been at Louis’ feet.

Part 2?
Okay, so
Was anyone reminded of Louis's brother when he stepped into the sunlight? His brother stepped off the roof so casually, and Louis did the same when he walked onto the roof to expose himself to the sunlight
This is kinda a stretch but before he walks to the roof when he says that Claudia's calling for him, that reminded me of his brother too
Because his brother heard birds that spread the word of god
And Claudia played Baby Lou, who was so in love with birds that she wanted to jump out the window to fly with them
So when he hears Claudia calling for him, in a way he's hearing birds just like his brother
What I love most about the finale is how it shows Louis finally on his own and content. Claudia calls him out for it multiple times, “who are you without me” who is Louis alone, because he never gets a chance to find out between his relationships to his family then lestat then Claudia then armand. Louis is always having to perform a role for those he loves and he has no idea who he is alone. The whole “yes maitre” roleplay with armand divorces him even further from who he is, forcing him back into the role of Louis the pimp.
But instead of going back to lestat Louis decides to be on his own, to fully be himself, and the redecorated apartment full of colour and pictures of Claudia and his brother is a beautiful expression of this.
this is my pre-gaming for watching this show. dipping a metaphorical toe into the fandom. i haven't read the books either.
there are 3 vampires: lestat, louis, and armand
armand's name may or may not be amadeo?
lestat and louis had a daughter named claudia
claudia was unhinged (which is fair. i would be too if i was stuck at age 15 forever)
claudia had a girlfriend named madeline
claudia and madeline died together (without even having kissed each other. true love? sapphic teenagerism? perhaps both)
claudia's death caused lestat and louis to break up after like a century of dating or something
armand killed claudia?
there was a play involved in claudia's death...? i am incredibly confused about this one
either it was a play or an execution
the love triangle seems convoluted
armand is in love with louis and lestat is also in love with louis and lestat & armand have definitely also fucked each other
louis should just get the hell out of there actually. free my boy louis !!!
the interview is being done by daniel molloy who is bi (?) and definitely into that kinky shit
daniel molloy fucked either louis or armand in his youth (during the 80s maybe?). possibly he fucked both. the human pet of the marriage
daniel's memories got messed with to... forget fucking the vampires? idk. p sure armand did it though
that seems to be the consensus for most things in this show
armand did it.
claudia died? armand did it. daniel's memory got wiped? armand did it. louis stubbed his toe? armand probably did it.
armand needs to be sent to vampire jail this guy's a menace
also lestat had a midlife crisis after louis left him for armand and became a rockstar. i hope they release his songs on spotify as marketing. i wanna hear it
BONUS: lestat's album flops? armand did it.
anyway now daniel is old and interviewing armand and louis in dubai?
armand eats suicidal ppl?
daniel causes armand and louis' marriage to fall through
that's louis' 2nd failed marriage
surprisingly not his fault either time i think
armand turns daniel into a vamp
this is signficiant because armand has never turned anyone into a vamp
armand is going to fuck that old man
that old man has kids apparently
and swore someone out on live tv
BONUS 2: daniel got turned into a vampire? armand did it.
seriously what the hell is armand's problem (said affectionately. i have a feeling he's gonna be my fav when i watch)
does lestat know daniel?
claudia may or may not return from the dead
if she does i'll blame that on armand too
is armand french or not? he lives in dubai. has a french accent (?) but also not.
lestat is french. louis and claudia are american.
surprisingly, the americans are the nicest of the bunch. rare american W
also can lestat fly? did he throw louis from like... a 4 story height? ppl on twitter were mad abt it like last year
are there any other characters in this show except the ones i've named. it's been 2 seasons. 6 characters cannot be all there is.

good morning, vampires!
Louis when Lestat annoys him and he whips out a copy of 'Interview with the Vampire':
The number of times I have actually screamed at Daniel's sassy commentary in Interview with the Vampire. The beginning of Season 2, Episode 1 alone is wild. Daniel blasting Louis for spending eight hours talking about "how to avoid the sun and torpedoes" during WWII. Daniel asking Real Rashid, "Where did they send you when Shah Rukh Khan over there was playing you?" Daniel emphasizing in front of Armand that Lestat is Louis' true love (Daniel Molloy the #1 Loustat shipper confirmed). One thing's for sure, Daniel is making this interview an experience for everyone involved. Kudos to him.
Interview with the Vampire - context what context
@pscentral event 31: faceless ↳ loustat + hands (part 1)
some stuff from twitter yayy i love claudia and her gay dads nothing to see here .. they're fine ..
"I wanted to forget him, and yet it seemed I thought of him always. It was as if the empty nights were made for thinking of him. And sometimes I found myself so vividly aware of him it was as if he had only just left the room and the ring of his voice were still there." - Interview with the Vampire, 1976 Interview with the Vampire (2022) | Season 1 - Season 2
I have an unhealthy obsession with the way these two exchange looks in these scenes
Claudia and Madeleine as Orpheus and Erudice
Lestat and Nicholas as Apollo and Hyacinth
Louis and Armand as Odysseus and Calypso
Armand and Daniel as Eros and Pysche
Lestat and Armand as Theseus and Ariadne

lestat's hair getting longer between season 1 and 2 is so funny to me. do you think louis approached daniel after 1.07 like "daniel, i want to thank you for what you said to me last night about lestat's murder. i have been reevaluating certain events, gaining new, truer perspectives. i feel that i need to tell you, daniel.... i lied to you, and to myself, about lestat's hairstyle. it was longer than i led you to believe, more shoulder length really, though no less seductive.... i want our readers to understand that" and daniel wrote in his notes for lestat "no cunty bob"
so we all agree that dreamstat laughing his ass off whenever armand would flirt with louis… that’s just louis getting the ick, right???
The last thing she saw on Earth was him.

I am genuinely scared of what will happen when it goes mainstream. We already have so much drama and it's just us 😭
As someone who’s been shitposting about AMC’s Interview with the Vampire since the premiere, I am both curious and a little afraid to see if any of my old posts suddenly blow up after the Netflix drop
That okay with you? Would you like to join us?
