She/Her. Just here to obsess about Interview With the Vampire and The Vampire Lestat (mainly the tv adaptation though we can talk canon too). No minors please.

Everything you need to know about me is probably contained in the quoted post.
🩸I support your right to ship whatever you want but for me it’s loustat always.
🩸I have read the books more than once and I maintain that JACOB ANDERSON IS THE SUPERIOR LOUIS.
🩸I’m mostly here to have fun.

If I may share a little bit about a piece of #iwtv that absolutely consumes me: Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G Major, M.83:II, played by Martha Argerich. It’s in three of the most heartbreaking #loustat scenes: the letter, the farewell to a haunting, the reunion. Anyway I made this.
SIRI PAUSE 😭

Well I’m here to undo your efforts and try to convince you to DO ITTTT

Jacob talking about Sam:

a woman is sitting in a chair and saying she is an icon she is a legend and she is the moment .

Looking back at those early interviews, with the context of how they are right now. I really shouldn’t.

They literally just SAY STUFF

Lidi 🥀 @heylidi.bsky.social · 18h

"I had a wrist hickey, actually, by the end of it."

"I had a neck hickey, so..."

"Yeah."

me watching this like 🥲👍🏾🫠

Oh 😅 has anyone shared with them the revolutionary idea that you don’t actually have to watch shows you don’t like lmao

Lidi 🥀 @heylidi.bsky.social · 1d

I really don’t know but what I feel is that none of this is even in good faith. It just feels like rage bait to me. I don’t think they’re saying anything real; they’re miserable and looking for more misery. Because…what the fuck are they even talking about? Did they watch seasons 1 and 2?

Lidi 🥀 @heylidi.bsky.social · 1d

I think anybody who saw that interview and walked away with “poor Sam, the writers have ruined the show and nobody listens to him when he’s the only person who has read and understands the IP” isn’t a serious person making a serious point. It’s a deliberate misrepresentation.

Lidi 🥀 @heylidi.bsky.social · 1d

Yeah this is diabolical behavior honestly 😭

Lidi 🥀 @heylidi.bsky.social · 1d

I see the clear logic in this argument and have no choice but to concur with your conclusion.

Lidi 🥀 @heylidi.bsky.social · 1d

10 out of 10 doctors agree!!

Lidi 🥀 @heylidi.bsky.social · 1d

I’m gonna be cancelled because I love him and I want to protect him.

Lidi 🥀 @heylidi.bsky.social · 1d

In this essay I will prove that SDCC was the Loustat panel and NYCC was the DM panel. I base this conclusion on two events:
1. Sam following Jacob off stage and then running back together, hand in hand.
2. Assad lifting Eric and then later making daddy official.

Thank you.

I’m just seeing this and of course I completely agree. It’s so confusing to me why anyone would convince themselves that this teaser is what the entire season will be about.

Lidi 🥀 @heylidi.bsky.social · 2d

Hate to be so obvious but there is a difference between a promo teaser and a trailer. Can we enjoy the tiny clips of random scenes without making doomer extrapolations about the ENTIRE season and getting so bent out of shape about what MIGHT or MIGHT NOT happen? Is that ok?
Is that possible?

Lidi 🥀 @heylidi.bsky.social · 2d

I wish I could be surprised.

Lidi 🥀 @heylidi.bsky.social · 2d

This is the thing driving me insane. I’m choosing not to engage with anything other than curiosity (and hopefully excitement) to see how this character is portrayed in this show. Because anybody who is upset about the casting is upset about something else. And I’m fucking tired.

Lidi 🥀 @heylidi.bsky.social · 2d

This is so beautiful

OK, I'm going to make 100% of people fall in love with Sheila Atim right now!

You're welcome!

Now, imagine her as Akasha, the moment when she is moved to sing...

How I look at him when I know he’s lying but I can’t tell him how I know

A freeze frame of Armand from the season 3 teaser of The Vampire Lestat. He’s wearing a brown blazer (or overcoat) with wide lapels and a brown sheer crew-neck shirt and he’s looking outward, wide-eyed
