#im not saying hes a vampire… but im not not saying it
Text
“what can the damned really say to the damned?” is what this episode asks. and well… “nothing.” is what the show answers us with.
we are introduced to louis and claudia as ultimate outcasts to the mortals around them and vampiredom: louis attempts to maintain the illusions of humanity in similar structures once more, casting grace as his lost wife and claudia as his daughter, as claudia seeks to find other vampires. armand, clearly pissed about the interview as is, decides to draw upon 150 years of prior work experience as a playwright toward the end of this episode, which is quite frankly, a bit much considering how daniel’s already scared shitless. and theres a terrible romantic specter in europe following louis thats named lestat. its a lot going on here, and im bound to not cover everything. i do want to cover dreamstat, and me and you(5x) but i will wait for the season to progress to do that^_^
‘He asked me if we could go home. Home? Can there be a more offensive question? Run back to New Orleans. Pry up his bones, why don’t you? Louis de Pointe du Lac, dead weight.’
louis and claudia’s tension in this particular episode revolve around the killing — or the betrayal that prevented the killing — of lestat. et tu, louis? stowaways on ships, trains, and wagons and a totally alien environment where even the blood is hostile to them, is it any wonder louis dreams of lestat? is it any wonder, having access to louis’s mind, in pursuit of some understanding of vampires beyond the facismile of the nuclear structure, that claudia continues to feel betrayed? i always think to myself, if claudia had qualities that made the average fan more sympathetic to her, would they understand how she was betrayed by louis specifically that night? would they be able to sympathize with claudia’s incredible perserverance despite, and because of, everything thats happened to her? and how that betrayal is the underlying tragedy and romance alike of the narrative that made 1940 mardi gras’s aftermath so haunting that louis in dubai did not remember it or was made not to until the other night?
following that in the flashbacks is when dreamstat first appears, clearly an extension of louis’s own mind at this own point, and he asks louis:
Four years of grim wayfaring, and still no sight of the benevolent vampire. So how does denial manifest itself tonight? … Was she worth it?
its so telling that lestat is the image louis calls upon to embody his most bitter feelings toward claudia in this sequence. dreamstat deserves his own breakdown, especially in relation to louis& claudia’s conversation when she first finds the revenant, as well as the wider events in dubai…
speaking of revenants, morgan in the show is a proto-daniel of sorts an abandoned journalist whos interest in photography exposes the illusion of grace the wife and claudia the impossible daughter, and tries to understand louis through the perspective of the mortal hes been given — did he go AWOL, or is he a black bolshevik? louis when questioned absconds, and closes up what little of himself he’s sold to morgan. its a smart way to include him in the narrative, as morgan is witness to emilia’s beheading after she was attacked by said revenant… and louis turns his head, truly embodying the detachment of the vampire in this moment. human affairs, their problem. this is a really good example of whats meant by ‘human affairs’ in the show, by the way. this episode features claudia & louis facing racism from military to children, and thats not framed as a ‘human affair’, but as one of many haunting aspects of their immortal existences.
claudia, in the pursuit for vampires, continues the metaphor of adoption in how she tries to find some sort of companionship and her current understanding of romania as this ancestral home to the vampire. whats also noticeable here is how claudia trying to make sense of centuries of legends is a striking parallel to how louis in the present day attempts to make sense of whats ‘true’ and ‘untrue’ from her diaries. claudia’s private accounts in the present that she never intended to be so deeply analyzed as anything other than her internal narrative in the moments she wrote them has become, to louis, a similar sort of legend thats necessary to decode for his own sense of self.
She writes here, ‘I do not dream.’ I can confirm that. At least, that’s what she said to me once when I was talking about one of my dreams which were erratic and often in those years. Of course, she might’ve just said that to shut me up, but yet… she writes it here so… let’s believe it. She continues. ‘We traveled light in our ancestral home. We slept in the earth, took circuitous routes around the mad army goose-stepping its way toward mother Russia…’
I woke that night to the sound of chaos erupting nearby. Claudia was, uh.. . she was dreaming. Her head twitching like you would. […] No, I can feel her. I can feel her next to me. She’s having a nightmare. What’s worse than a nightmare? If your soul’s projecting out its fears, at least it’s up and running. But the absence of anything? The void, the nothing, pieces… coming back. Hours, nights, objects surfacing in water… It was just something she’d wrote. But it wasn’t true. She could dream.
dubai louis’s recollection of claudia and the existential dread of eternally being damned, the terror of lacking a soul, a rather catholic fear but still having a sequence of memories that cycle back into an immortal brain, replay in this inversed sleep cycle, can be malleable, forgotten, poke a hole in louis’s attempt to utilize claudia’s diaries as but an extension of his own narrative, and offers a glimpse at what is truly at stake in this second interview.
#yn.#iwtv#iwtv s2#iwtv spoilers#louis de pointe du lac#lestat de lioncourt#claudia#armand#daniel molloy#what can the damned really say to the damned?#there is nothing louis can tell claudia that is enough .. l#Louis saying ‘as long as youre still here i wont kill myself’ :: Louis’s suicide attempt in s1x06#theres so much more to be said but its 4 am#The equitable exchange of stories as daciana proposes being fundamentally impossible ….#happy mother’s day to daciana </3

am i crazy or. would erik absolutely love twilight. unironically. calls it a romance for the ages. owns maybe an unhealthy amount of merch at some point.
because like 1.) erik is a dracula fanboy, it wouldnt be a stretch to say that it could extend to all vampires, and thats how it gets on his radar to begin with 2.) he would absolutely identify with edwards whole "im a monster" vibe (not to mention the killer part) 3.) there is no universe in which he doesnt yearn to be wanted as much as bella wants edward. to be pursued, wanted, loved, despite what he is... what could he wish for more than that?
#kotaka talks#phantom of the opera#poto#erik#twilight#look i had a thought in the shower and slammed my forehead against my keyboard dont think too hard abt this#or do i wont tell you how to live your life#i honestly dont know that much abt twilight#i did read all the books back in middle school but also promptly forgot everything about them#so when i watched all the movies for the first time recently i felt absolutely insane#also erik 100% learns bellas theme and plays it on repeat on his organ

Ooh, vampire Ghost putting human Soap in a muzzle gag both as to degrade him and hear his muffled noises, taking his ability to speak like he was an animal, while also it having delicious irony since it’s something you’d more associate with vampires due to the threat of fangs. Collars biting into his neck that Ghost says are for his own good otherwise someone could bite him. Plugging his cum in Johnny’s holes up with Soap’s own old vampire fighting equipment. And Soap is helpless against it all and has to start liking it even to cope with his situation.
oh my god i have no idea what i posted or when to get this gift of an ask but WOW it is beautiful and wonderful and ily
vampire hunter soap who is soooo determined to kill ghost but is just disgustingly outclassed. maybe he's trying to prove himself to other hunters, maybe he's trying to earn his way back into society after some sort of mistake, or maybe he's just young cocky and dumb, but regardless he's hunting after ghost with a single minded intensity
and vampire ghost usually just slaughters any humans who try and fight him. maybe he'll play with them for a bit, but humans are so boring to someone as old and strong as he is
johnny, for whatever reason, peaks his interest. maybe it's the way he smells/tastes, maybe it's the way he's so determined to kill ghost, but it's something. and ghost turns his first human in centuries (and probably the first he actually plans to keep)
tbh im not sure in an au like this if ghost fully shows johnny how to Live, and then conditions him back down to how he wants. i personally don't love the idea of johnny not knowing how to exist without ghost, just because it's so extreme in this case, but i feel like realistically ghost is making sure johnny is dependent on him for everythingggggg
i loooove your muzzle idea!!! also imaging ghost keeping johnny muzzled 24/7, except when johnny's feeding (and always from ghost). so eventually when ghost takes the muzzle off, johnny's already got his mouth open for whatever ghost wants to give him :( helps with his throat training quite a bit <3
big thick leather collar all around johnny's neck, and no matter how much he claws at it and whines ghost doesn't take it off. says it's for his own protection, tugs the cloth away from johnny's neck a bit and says you want me to bite you, pup? not sure i could resist with the way you smell, you want me to bury my fangs right here? and smirks when johnny gets all horny and scared :(
ghost filing down johnny's fangs when he bites down too deep during one feeding session :( he has to start cutting himself for johnny to feed because his boy's too weak now, but he loooves feeling johnny's dull baby fangs try desperately to pierce his skin when he gets hungry
ghost taking johnny hunting, holding him close and showing him how to stalk his human prey. whispering in johnny's ears about all the times ghost did this to him, all the things he saw johnny say and do, all the mistakes he made. when johnny's humanity kicks back in at the last minute before killing his first human, ghost holds his jaw open and forces his teeth into their victims throat
ghost jacking johnny off every time he feeds, to give him a positive association with something he still fundamentally hates so much. loves how teary and upset johnny gets, how conflicted he is. praises his boy endlessly when johnny starts getting hard without even needing his fist right after a fresh kill

Remembering that now lestat was turned whn he was 34 he and nicki were probably together for like 14 years… and that it took him a hundred years to try again… and that he’s more connected to music than theatre and plays in this version 😵💫😵💫😵💫 like imagine youre lestat and you are deeply in love with your first love your husband of 14 years the love of your life and you have a job you love and you are happy you are so so debilitatingly happy and suddenly you are taken away from all of it and you are thrust into this life of killing and monstrosity and then he loses his mind and dies and dies and dies over and over again and you try to save him but he only gets worse and in the end when he dies for the final time he dies without his mind and hating you. Like personally i couldnt do it
#magnus i fucking HATEYOU#sorry i was rereading some nickistat scenes yesterday#nicolas is always on my mind. love him.#lestat de lioncourt#nicolas de lenfent#nickistat#the vampire lestat#AND THEN. and then after a hundred years you meet a man who carries that same sadness that nicki had. and you fall so deeply in love.#SCREEEEAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMSSSSS. i need to go for a walk.#also this isnt to say yhat louis isnt lestats love of his life cus he is. hes lestats love for eternity OK!!!!#louis haters if you even exist. im killing you with psychic powers#iwtv

kabru would like cheap erotica novels. he'd like to pretend (to himself at least) that its about his psych hobby since there's a lot you can glean about a cultural zeitgeist and of course what kind of things people are finding sexy lately from the porn being made and getting popular, and im sure talking in excited whispers with older women about the bodice rippers they like is a plus, but ultimately i think he'd just genuinely find them hot. hes absolutely the type to do erotic roleplays and get way too in-character
#kabru#for my labru nation: imagine kabru suggesting he be dracula seducing the maiden (laios) to drink her blood#only for them to get into a 30 minute argument about if vampires are monsters#laios: theres no evidence they exist and the legends say its basically just a dead guy that barely counts#kabru: zombies are monsters ergo vampires are monsters you should be into this!#laios: zombies also barely count. and i didnt say im not into it just that vampires arent real monsters#kabru: look are you going to play along or not because if you arent i have to put the wooden stake back in the garden

Guys that go bump in the night
(minorly inspired by @karniss-bg3 's response to this ask)
#bg3#astarion#rhylolin/lobo (oc)#kar'niss#drider#baldurs gate 3#driftoodles#alternative titles thst were suggested have been: the monster mash; two charlatan party crashers and their plus one#a drider a lycanthrope and a vampire walk into a bar#etc etc etc i could keep going#i imagine this would be a post bg3 plot thing . dunno what trouble theyre getting into but#whatever theyre up to someones probably gonna have to bail them out. my moneys on gale#with how ive been sketching kar'niss ive been drawing him more emaciated during bg3 bc i noticed his abdomen wrinkles at the bottom which#is a trait of dehydration in arachnids. hes probs not eating very well in moonrise lmao. but i imagine lobo heres been taking p good care#of him. also i think karniss still isnt used to being complimented so every time anyone says he looks nice he throws a fit about it#arachnophobia#but yeah so i try to draw him with rounder n softer features if im drawing him doing smthn post bg3#anywayyys i have a big day tomorrow i wish i had more energy to put smthn neater out but. for now. woe drider#i actually planned on replying to the og ask with more refined doodles but i may do thst later shdkdnkd

"twilight was a deeply anti-indigenous text with an abusive power-imbalance masquerading as a romance story written by a mormon and it was weird when white people tried to rehabilitate it" and "a lot of contemporary criticism of twilight boiled down to homophobia and misogyny and wanting to keep some kind of purity in a constantly-changing vampire mythos" coexist.
also donation link to the Quileute Move To Higher Ground initiative
#look im certain that indigenous americans especially from the Quileute nation itself criticised it when it came out.#at the same time they were absolutely drowned out by white men afraid edward would take their masculinity#calling him a faggot and saying he was more a fairy than a vampire because he sparkled in the sunlight#(ignoring that some vampire myths do suggest they are fae but when have homophobic white men led us astray before?)#even so it meant that it was absolutely ripe years later for white women to try to rehabilitate.#and because of all the homophobia and that a lot of criticism at the time WAS just 'how dare women thing be popular.'#because 'uh this is a severe power imbalance' and 'this story characterizes us as 'noble savages' and that's not a good thing'#got absolutely drowned by men afraid a sparkling bloodsucker would uproot masculinity

cant get over how the kiddads all left the forgotten realms all kinds of fucked up with trauma that they would carry with them for the rest of their lives and terry just has a cool dad now.
nicky? will be in a permanent state of identity crisis for the rest of his life, constantly having to deal with the fact that his entire life as nicholas was fabricated
lark? released an entire fucking chaos deity, ridden with guilt and self-hatred, and will never have a healthy relationship with his father again
terry? loves his stepdad :)
#like im not saying hes not fucked up. after the tower and vampire terry he could probably benefit from therapy#along with being imprisoned by the omegadaddies? you dont walk away from that ok#but all things considered- especially what the other four kiddads were subjected to- he definitely got lucky#terry jr#terry stampler#dndads#dungeons and daddies

truly believe gabe should have had a cameo in jennifers body . i also believe he should have been in a series of bad low budget horror movies . i dont think any of this because i think hes a good actor its mostly coz i want to see him covered in blood but also because i think he has the right energy for it
#the jennifers body cameo i think should literally have been him just like . in the background being gabe saporta#but bc hes so tall it doesnt matter hes in the background hes just instantly recognisable and also wearing like . eyeblistering neons#someone says . okay then gabe saporta with his full name idk#also . vampire gabe really very important#anyway . put chew me up and spit me out on spotify now#i didnt think this one thru bvery much im just having thoughts
