genuinely do not understand why #InterviewwiththeVampire is not THE most talked about show on right now, it has everything????

it literally has everything gay people love and we're very loud so like???

you got vampires, you got murder, you got toxic relationships, you got sweet domestic husbands, you got betrayal, you got jacob anderson, what more do you WANT

honestly just "you got jacob anderson, what more do you WANT" is enough

Thinking about how Louis describes his feelings for Lestat with romanticized narration - its emotional distancing, makes it a STORY. There's no "he used to snore in his sleep" or mention of domestic routines, outside of Claudia's POV. Seduction is easy. Real love? That's hard.

"Let the tale seduce you..." he says, all of his early narration is dripping with overtures of romanticism. But beneath that is the lazy Sundays, talking about books they like, punch-drunk laughter after a very long day. That stuff happened, but it's harder to face losing it.

The romanticizing of who Lestat was, his maker, his lover, this enigmatic presence in his life - it's another coping strategy. Hating him for all the wrong reasons in the first interview, refusing to look at the little things in the second. One side of the pendulum to the other.
