Do people know Lestat has a teenage fledgling he considers a daughter, she berates him for being sexist and wanting to dress up women like dolls, and he calls her a Power Slut and says he'll throw her down the stairs, and it's hysterically funny? Of course they don't, because it's in Blood Canticle!

Sorry bringing this up to the top because 1. It is closer to the books but also 2. The idea of David having a big drawer of paintings of Marius is amazing 😂
This is horrifying- but this is actually much closer to the books than the Talamasca in the show.

Here's the thing about Anne Rice's #Talamasca. They are an order of scholars who study the supernatural. They want to understand the world, magic, and what is possible. Most of them have psychic abilities of their own or an experience with the supernatural and that brings them to the order.

Love that Guy has used his legal knowledge more than his psychic power in this show 🙄 #talamascaspoilers

Okay, fine, I will watch the finale of the Talasmasca show. But only because I have more Lego to build.

As someone who was around and part of the VC fandom when this happened, the misinformation over it is wild. Those warnings were standard on all fic in all fandoms long before the C&Ds because it was understood fic was just something for fun and for the community.
I actually see this constantly, but the idea that the "I don't own this" fanfic disclaimers are because of Anne Rice is also a myth. They were from before her and discourse around the C&D in the fandom at the time mention the people who got the C&Ds using them as a reason why it was so shocking.

No one in my family wants to make decisions about what we're making for Thanksgiving (except that there needs to be turkey and mashed potatoes), I have asked so many times, but if I go to the store and make those decisions myself, they get upset that I'm taking over and controlling things.

I've always been convinced that video podcasts exist to force creators to be reliant on a closed distribution platform. Podcasts are built on tech (RSS) that nobody can own. Every major tech company has wanted to migrate podcasts to something proprietary, but it never sticks. Video is their answer.

I stared at my reflection. I rubbed my face, even rubbed the mirror and pressed my lips together to keep from crying.
Finally, I closed my eyes and opened them again, and I smiled very gently at the creature.
He smiled back. That was Lestat, all right.

This whole thread but especially this. For example, there a couple moments in TVA I like to read as Armand purposely fucking with David Talbot - it's an interpretation that amuses me greatly. But I also acknowledge that nothing in the text suggests Armand isn't being earnest & straightforward.
The books have a lot of ambiguous meaning. There are even a few ambiguous actions or timelines. Most of the events are on the page being told by characters who are not, in the text, presented as lying about them.
You can still interpret a metaphorical or subjective meaning. It's a book!

I am such an easily influenced person, I was made for advertising to sell me literally anything, but I found this baker on Instagram and I ordered some of her cookies and hot damn, they are amazing cookies! Like I figured, she rents a space and has built a whole professional business, but yes.
