I Just Had A Really Strange And Random Thought.The IWTV Show Characters But As Characters From The Rocky

I just had a really strange and random thought. The IWTV show characters but as characters from The Rocky Horror Picture Show instead. I think one way to go about it would be: Lestat = Frank-N-Furter: love for performance, the absolute obsession with Rocky delving into toxic behaviour and abuse + Lestat in drag = yes queen. And he wants to have control over everything and do what he wants. The gory violence when killing Eddie. Hidden melancholy and vulnerability that resurfaces in the end. Louis = Rocky: made by Frank-N-Furter just like vampire Louis was "made" by Lestat, wants to understand his existence, trying to escape his maker while still having a lot of feelings for him after he died. Kinda repulsed by his own existence but also horny for it. Armand = Riff Raff and Magenta: acting subservient, but secretly being the one in control. Killing/orchestrating killing to ensure he gets what he wants. Looking back with melancholy and longing for light to come into his life but having been trapped in the darkness for so long, he follows that way

Old Daniel = not sure, maybe Dr. Scott? Old man whose appearance sets things and the downfall of power dynamics into motion, has hidden desired that get revealed when coming into contact with the vampires? Maybe also Janet and Brad a bit, being just a human who gets caught up in this but then kinda learns to love it Season 2 Claudia = Columbia: Just wants to escape this whole madness with her lover Eddie aka. Madeline who ends up dead. Knows Frank-n-furter aka Lestat never really cared for her like he cared for the subject of his obsession. When looking at Devil's Minion and those two Rocky Horror characters only I'd say Armand= Frank-N-Further and Daniel=Rocky obviously.

I think there can be many different constellations of this, haha

Totally not obsessed with IWTV when I see four creatures in one space together and my brain goes immediately to the context of: Louis/Armand/Daniel/Lestat Polycule omg omg omg omg they're bestieeees.

(with blood instead of the fish, obvs)

You know what I just thought after spending an hour scrolling through IWTV Tumblr (specifically our old man yaoi boy, I love him sm)

The actors and creators of IWTV just feel like a bunch of nerds super excited to do this thing. Like you can tell how much fun they're having making said thing, and playing with the story, and having fun with just something so inherently erotic and being like "yes, and.."

(literally Sam has always wanted to play or be a vampire, his lifelong dream to just be a vamp is materialized and you can tell in his performance)

It's just so great to see the openness and lightheartness they (personally) bring to a story that is obviously not necessarily the most light-hearted. With more topics that's also often villanized so deeply in media or things just generally not fully explored openly, and them being like:

"hehe, and It'd be really great if I could explore being a hot 70 year old vampire who fucks a gaslighting toxic 500 y/o vamp cause it's fun" like YES, GO OFF ERIC

Anyways. This fandom has been fun so far. Greatly enjoying.

Anyone else ever think that polyamory would be the perfect solution to portray and combine show-season-1-Lestat's jealousy and book-Lestat's love for absolutely everything mortal and vampire on earth? Like, hear me out:

I don't think that Lestat's jealousy is rooted in the need to be the only person that Louis loves, not really. It's rooted in his abandonment issues and the fear that Louis falls in love with someone else AND then wants to leave Lestat. But what if other people joined the relationship - then there would be no need for Louis to ever leave him.

Not saying it would be a healthy or non-toxic kind of polycule, but so aren't almost all of the canon relationships.

"I heard your hearts dancing!" = Let's do a group dance, anything, as long as your heart is in there, still beating in sync with mine

reasons to write fanfiction (I'll start):

share a cool scene that popped into your head

evoke a particular emotion the canon makes you feel

song made you think of a character or idea from canon

make people feel the same way about a character you do

make dolls kiss for fun

explore ideas the canon hints at but doesn't do anything with

traumatize characters and make them suffer

coddle characters and let them rest

had an insane idea for a crack ship and now everyone needs to know

the author of the canon was wrong and must be fixed

use familiar characters to explore your own ideas and plotlines

canon is too short and you need to wallow in the universe of the story

Me: Okay so when I'm creating my new pen-and-paper character, I will for once stay away from anything to do with vampires and give my brain a pause from IWTV and the vampire chronicles in general. I'm perfectly able to think about something else, to keep myself from the fandom for like two hours. ... proceeds to create a dramatic backstory about a gothic twink named Vincent, who became a media star by writing and directing movies about VAMPIRES. And yes, probably those vampires are also gay.

like, I know my hyperfixations all right, but how the hell did this series manage to take my brain hostage like that? omfg xD
