(Part Eight)

This is a thread connecting Anne Rice’s The Vampire Chronicles to Taylor Swift’s most recent album, The Tortured Poet’s Department. Part One will be linked at the bottom, if you want to start from the beginning.

15.) The Alchemy

Executive decision: This one is about Lestat and Louis finally getting their shit together and going back to each other.

“This happens once every few lifetimes”

“These chemicals hit me like white wine”

“What if I told you I'm back?”

“The hospital was a drag”

“Worst sleep that I ever had”

“These blokes warm the benches”

“We been on a winning streak”

“Cause the sign on your heart said it's still reserved for me”

“Honestly, who are we to fight the alchemy?”

16.) Clara Bow

This one is for all of ‘em. I like the idea of paralleling “fame” with being chosen to receive the Dark Gift. Just like a small town girl who never thought she’d see the big city, I think the vamps would never have imagined their lives to turn out the way they did.

The allegory of vampirism and fame is really interesting to me. Being chosen to receive a gift that so many desire and, yet, so few receive. A gift that feels more like a curse once you have it. Beauty and aesthetic being a cornerstone to your existence.

Are you seeing the vision?

Also, Lestat’s rockstar era fits nicely into the context of these lyrics as well.

“All your life, did you know you’d be picked like a rose”

“No one in my small town thought I'd see the lights of Manhattan”

“Promise to be dazzling”

“I'm not trying to exaggerate”

“But I think I might die if it happened, die if it happened to me”

"You look like Stevie Nicks in '75, the hair and lips”

“Crowd goes wild at her fingertips”

“You're the new god we're worshipping”

“It's hell on earth to be heavenly”

“... Dazzling”

Exclusive Special Preview of Season 2 Interview with the Vampire - Premieres May 12th on AMC+

Reminder to watch the new IWTV preview on YouTube, not just on tumblr or through gifs. Leave a like and a positive comment while you’re at it! 😉

AMC can’t track how many times we reblog the preview, they’re not checking tumblr to see how many notes a gif set received. They’re using data from their official accounts (like their YouTube channel) to determine the level of interest in this series.

If we want a Season 3, which I think we can all agree we most definitely do, then we need to show up, and show them how many of us LOVE this story!

okay they got me

"If there’s one thing Interview wants us to understand, it’s that even vampires are caught in cyclical loops. And when you’re immortal, those habits can be just as dangerous... and equally devastating. We got a taste of this with the introduction of the vampire Armand (Assad Zaman), the apparent love of Louis’ life. During the first half of Louis and Daniel’s interview sessions, he was masquerading as human; in reality, he’s 400 years Louis’ senior, and his influence on the latter smacks of Lestat’s own toxicity." "It’s here that the cast gets the meatiest material to sink their teeth into. Anderson remains a high point as Louis, juggling multiple versions of the character across a century and change. Season 2 only expands his role as an unreliable narrator: it’s not that he’s willfully withholding details about his life, but he’s earnestly working to recover memories he’s buried. It’d be enough to watch Anderson work through waves of fury, grief, and denial, with or without the added pressure of bloodlust and immortality." "Part of that has to do with the introduction of the Theatre des Vampires, the campy playhouse in which Claudia spends the bulk of her time. Though the character arguably gets more room to spread her wings in Season 2 (and Hayles takes every opportunity to imbue her with ferocity and compassion), a fulfilling arc still feels just out of reach… at least in the six episodes provided to critics for review."
