#claudia looks good in
Text
forever obsessed with dynamics between vampires, specifically that of a maker and fledgling, as a way to explore abuse. the creation of a vampire itself can so easily be a literalization of the lasting impacts of trauma and also much more simply the ways a perpetrator might shape their victim’s very identity. the extremes of isolation in the way that the new vampire, in most narratives, must cut all ties to their mortal life, or else go through an elaborate charade to maintain the facade of humanity, while forever still being removed from it. and the sheer dependence and vulnerability of being in an entirely new state of being, wholly uncertain of what it entails, and relying on another person to define… everything.
#or just the moral dilemmas#rewatching amc interview is kind of making me insane#that moment in episode two when louis is looking for a sort of assurance in the fact that lestat may actually have some good in him#look at how he cares about music look at the simple wondrous things that can bring him joy#and then the immediate dread when the opera performance turns out to be imperfect because he knows how lestat will react to *that*#I think there’s also something really interesting in the highlighting of lestat upbraids the less skilled singer before killing him#(slowly)#but also I will wait to watch more before I articulate my thoughts#vampires#interview with the vampire#amc interview with the vampire#i ramble sometimes#I do still find the lestat and claudia film and novel dynamic by far the most compelling for how she tries to usurp him but almost to be him#but I’m enjoying this#I’m very curious if I will like show claudia more on rewatch#the movie always resonated most with me (sue me lol) because there seemed to be more simultaneous fondness and attachment even at the end

From @saberamane
Had an angsty Desmond plot bunny jump into mind today.
People pretty much always head canon that Desmond got his lip scar while at the Farm, typically from Bill. But what if, that training ‘accident’ left more than a scar on Desmond’s lip? What if it was such a horrendous slip up that somehow Desmond ended up blinded.
That would mean Desmond wouldn’t run away from the farm, he couldn't see. Bill, in trying to make Desmond the best Assassin, ends up basically ’ruining' him.
And if Desmond doesn’t run from the farm, Abstergo wouldn’t have as easy a time as getting him for the Animus. So they’d need someone inside to get Desmond. Lucy.
So here’s Desmond, having spent the last nine years blind (he didn’t get the eagle vision until the Animus, so he couldn’t use that.) and basically dependent on everyone around him. So after having been kidnapped from the farm, he’d cling to Lucy, seeing her as another victim of Abstergo.
Through the Animus, Desmond would unlock his ability to use the Eagle Vision, so he could finally see again. But it came with draw backs. Using it too much caused headaches, and pushing even farther, migraines.
So the first three games play out nearly the same, only Desmond has a harder time navigating, and has to depend a lot on his hearing to determine people’s intensions from their tone of voice rather than how they move or their facial expressions.
And in the end, Desmond is still marched off to his death in the grand temple. Only now, Bill doesn’t try and talk Desmond out of it, to 'find another way’, because to Bill this is Desmond’s only use now without his vision. The Eagle Vision can only substitute so much after all.
So Desmond expects to die. He activates the eye, burns from the inside out, knows he is dying, feels Juno free herself from the Temple.
And then he wakes up. But he’s not in the Temple any more.
(Cue Desmond figuring out where he is, and ending up a kickass assassin anyway. And the ancestor(s) finding out Desmond is blind and still a Master Assassin.)
=======================
Additions from teecup:
This would make Lucy’s betrayal sting all the more. Lucy had been his support ever since he got captured and he still can’t forget the warmth of her hand and the gentleness in her voice. But now, they were tainted by the fact that she had done all of that to get into Desmond’s skin.
And she did.
She had been crueler than William Miles, using his loneliness and weakness to manipulate him.
At least William Miles had been ‘kind’ enough to not lie to him.
Or…
That’s how Desmond began to see it, especially after he began watching Ratonhnhaké:ton’s memories.
He thought he had a place to belong but he didn’t…
He never did.
Not on the Farm…
Not with the Assassins…
He didn’t belong anywhere…
And that was why it had been easy for him to accept his fate, to become the sacrifice so this cruel uncaring world would continue to exist.
Minerva had tried to appeal to his self-preservation, tried to make him understand just how dangerous Juno was but Desmond…
Desmond was so tired…
He was tired of doing what William Miles wanted.
He was tired of pretending to be alright.
He just…
He just wanted everything to stop.
The world?
The Assassins?
Desmond didn’t save the world.
He just…
Gave up…
………
So when he woke up in a place he didn’t recognize even after suffering through the effects of using the Eagle Vision too much…
He felt an almost bitter anger towards Juno and Minerva who promised him the cold embrace of death.
And he has no idea where he was…
So he started walking towards the nearest city or settlement his Eagle Vision had pinged and tried to gather intel without being seen.
Just because he couldn’t see didn’t mean he wasn’t observant. William Miles demanded he be useful, after all.
So it didn’t take long before Desmond realized that he wasn’t in his time anymore.
He had returned to the past.
And his ancestor was still alive around this time.
So Desmond…
For the first time in his life…
Ran away from the Brotherhood.
Unorganized Notes
I think in this scenario, it would be interesting if Desmond loved his ancestors but he was also jealous of them. They were everything he could never be. As much as he loved and wished for them to have a happier ending, he still can’t help but be jealous of what they had. Of what they see and could do.
That jealousy makes Desmond hate himself because he believes he’s a ‘bad person’ for having such feelings.
It’s because of that Desmond doesn’t want them to see him, to even know about him at all.
If he was in Altaïr’s time, I think it would be interesting if he got kicked into the timeline while Altaïr and Maria were having their sorta-world tour. This way, the Levantine Brotherhood would be in a sorta-kinda peaceful era and Desmond wouldn’t even realize that Altaïr was in some random marketplace not in Levant because why would he? So, in this scenario, it would be fun if Maria was the one who notices him first and accidentally grabs him because she thought he was Altaïr and Desmond just booked it, because, holy shit, Altaïr was here, run! And that only makes Maria and Altaïr be unable to resist being curious. (This would also be more on the side of Desmond getting dragged along on their trip and experiencing new things with them. Something nice and without the baggage of the Brotherhood)
For Ezio, Desmond getting thrown into Brotherhood would be fun and then we can have the recruits be the ones to find him first and report back to Ezio about the strange man who keeps slipping away from them. In this scenario, Desmond would not announce himself as ‘Desmond’ because he knows Ezio knows that name by now. Maybe he’d even use the name Kenway or something. Ezio knows there’s a lot of things Desmond isn’t saying but he’s not going to push. Not yet, anyway. For now, he would observe and get to know Desmond more, maybe offer him a place on Tiber Island. Seeing the look of pain in Desmond’s expression as he says that he doesn’t want to be an Assassin would only serve to make Ezio more curious but also gentler, stressing that he doesn’t have to be an Assassin but he would be safer in Tiber Island than roaming the streets of Roma under Borgia rule. Maybe Desmond would find a place as more or less the caretaker of the Tiber Island headquarters?
For Ratonhnhaké:ton, I kinda like the idea of Desmond finding himself in Davenport Homestead by accident and realizing that this was just a month or two after Ratonhnhaké:ton learned his tribe had left without informing him. Desmond knew he should stay away and he did try. He did. It’s just… he couldn’t help but gravitate back towards Ratonhnhaké:ton and the lonely manor he stayed all by himself and, before he knew it, he was sleeping in what used to be Ratonhnhaké:ton’s room before he took Achilles’ room and the people of the Homestead already knew him by name. He and Ratonhnhaké:ton aren’t close (yet) but… he knew Ratonhnhaké:ton appreciated him staying all the same.
Regardless of where he ends up with, Desmond doesn’t believe he has the skills of a Master Assassin and thinks that people are exaggerating. His ancestor would notice it and feel anger for Desmond’s sake because it’s clear his low self-esteem is rooted into a more complicated deeper pain that he tries to hide. So they try to show to Desmond just how good he is even if they have their work cut out for them.
#submission#is this platonic?#is this romantic?#idk#i’m not going to do the usual tags to be sure#because it’s me#also if this was altdes maria would be playing matchmaker for the two#or just make it altdesmar XD#the recruits will be the ones playing matchmaker for ezides#with claudia and machi just trying to stay far away from all that#the homestead pips would think condes looks good together but won’t try anything#and it would be the kids who would try to play matchmaker XD#because of the tags this is now#altdes#ezides#condes

I was trying to figure out why Callum specifically holding onto the potion and waiting until Claudia saw it and asked for it back before he emptied it out reminded me of a typical Disney villain vibe actually and then it hit me
Like okay sure, you're fighting your enemy, but then he also waited until she saw him for sure, she said something about it, and then he opened it?? Why??? 😭
(If you don't know who the cat is: 1. You're missing out, and 2. It's Yzma, the main villain/antagonist in the Emperor's New Groove, and she has the potion the main character needs to go back to being a human)
Ironically it's a reverse situation not only because one is a protagonist and the other is an antagonist, but one has a potion that changes the other person's body to be less human-like, while the other has a potion that changes the other person's body back to being human.
Both potions help the person who would use them, though. For survival, or for going back to a normal life. (And Claudia's also trying to go "back to normal" in the sense that her goal is to keep her dad alive.)
Anyway this post wasn't supposed to be that serious, but it just baffles me
#tdp#the dragon prince#I'm not saying he's a villain because they're obv not making him be a villain#but the taunting someone with something valuable to them before destroying it in front of them is#hmm#usually not a good thing#I don't think Yzma destroyed it but she was going to drink it herself? or almost dropped it for sure#I haven't seen that movie in ages lmao#anyway regardless of tropes or comparisons I don't understand Callum's logic here#also yes Claudia taunts Rayla in a similar way in S4 but then she specifically does NOT destroy the item#she makes it look like she's destroying the decoy#then when Rayla finds out it was a trick she leaves#with the coins-- still not in the hands Rayla wants them in#but they're undamaged!#in this case Claudia is severely injured#and I have more theories on the potion thing contributing to that but#talking in the tags too much now lmao#this is all beside the point#also yes I'm reposting posts from Twitter onto here lmao#my posts

Any time I think about how some fans insist on Claudia's rape being important and how other fans just go against it because Bruce is used as a comparison to Lestat (in a scene that blatantly hints at Louis also being sexually assaulted by him) I get so angry.
None of these discussions take into consideration how the placement of Claudia's rape also makes it seem as if the assault itself "fixes" her. Bruce found her because she was careless with her kills and didn't hide the bodies well. She objects to his advances just as he hands her a book on how ladies should "behave" properly, and in return gets her leg twisted before being raped. After that scene, it's so clearly visible how she tries to hide more. She stores a victim's body in the wall of a university library where she reads, as opposed to previously having left them on the desks where they would be found. Even her wardrobe is completely changed by the time she comes back into Louis' life: she wears a longer coat and hat which are presumably from a male victim. The final scene is the only time we ever see her with overalls that aren't in a more feminine color, not to mention the oversized coat again.
Even her first lines towards Lestat? "I wasn't right in my head. I am now." Again, coming directly after being raped which likely jump-started her codependency towards Louis at this point, because she tried to roam about on her own and ended up getting hurt in the process. One could technically say that it's a brutally honest portrayal of how Black girls will always be punished for displaying any kind of behavior that isn't approved of, except for one blatant difference: the fact that her emotional instability/outbursts seem to be completely gone by the time she comes back to Rue Royale. The next episode is where we see Claudia in almost complete polarity as to how she behaved before Bruce: she's only ever loving, nurturing, and seemingly wiser even beyond her human years. She has apparently fully put her issues with Louis behind her and doesn't even judge him for bringing their abuser back into the house.
The way that the previous episode is structured, with the utter lack of information on what Claudia was reading or researching before her assault, how she may have viewed her parents as some time went on, makes it appear as though her being raped is what "fixes" her emotional instability that we saw when she left Rue Royale. Even if you have seemingly no issue with the insertion of her being raped, that doesn't make the narrative timeline any better in its apparent message that all Claudia "needed" in order to mature from her rightful hatred towards both of her parents is being assaulted and made aware of how she, as a teenage vampire, can never go around the world on her own. It's also even more offensive in how the only time we ever see it being discussed again in length, is in a scene where Lestat belittles her being raped. It further makes the assault itself look like a neat little plot-point that was put in last minute without considering how Claudia would be affected by it in the long run. I don't need Claudia to talk extensively about her experience, but the way the writers and narrative in turn handles it isn't any better for me.
#interview with the vampire#claudia#also idc for any defenses on the narrative choices on this#so please refrain from writing a 5 paragraph essay on it because I'm not really gonna change my mind#this insistence on Black characters in the show needing to be assaulted/brutally abused all for the seemingly important need to#'make the white vampire look horrible for white viewers to grasp the terror of it' has never been a good reason; I'm sorry#it's also not a reason I've ever heard the writers themselves give#so for all we know; we're just defending a majorly white writers room for creative choices they feel entitled to making#without taking into consideration how it will affect the characters in the long term#tw rape mention
