I Could Do Daniel's Job If My Mental Fortitude Wasn't That Of A Wet Tissue.

I could do Daniel's job if my mental fortitude wasn't that of a wet tissue.

the state of lestat's hair in S3 is unacceptable after having dated louis. Did he really not teach you a THING about haircare? bbg get a bonnet or something jfc your grease, breakage & frizz are embarrassing

So we all joke that Sam Reid is lestat irl, and he's an actor that plays lestat but he does it so well that the joke came about in the first place. Okay now in season 3 we are gonna get rockstar lestat. Canonically the books exist (the way they do in our world) and they have a fandom (like this world) and from public perception this rockstar guy is just insanely committed to the cosplay larp. of this fictional book character. So if I said it would be a really cool and fun idea for lestat's "Human" name to be Sam, like when fans are like "we know you're lestat from this book and you're like a vampire and all but real talk what's your name" I imgaine at first he'd be like "Dude i stg it's lestat" (way fancier and french than that but yk what i mean) but fandoms are crazy relentless and would stop at nothing to dox this man, so what if they wore him down until he's like "I changed it legally to lestat" on and on and on etc etc etc until eventually he just goes onto babynames.com and picks the first top 100 boy names that he sees Sam reid the actor that plays lestat in our lil tv show based on the books. And lestat the actor that plays "sam" when pestered by fans what his "real" name is.

i jus think it would be a funny little inconsequential easter egg

Armand frustrates me in my bones because it’s like, you’re not that scared child anymore! I know it’s hard and I know the familiarity of submission is comforting, and I know it’s overwhelming and I know it feels like it’s out of your control, and I know it’s near impossible to believe that you have agency, and that agency can alter things for your benefit, but like, you’re 500 years old. You’re literally 500 years old. You might as well be a god. And the best thing you can think to do with all that power is lock yourself in a cage of your own making. Armand isn’t a mastermind, he’s not even a particularly skilled manipulator, he’s more like a child that got lost in a mall and instead of calling for help or looking for an adult, has stayed in the exact same place for 500 years, and then the mall collapsed and forest took over and then someone built a new mall in its place, and he’s still standing there. And it’s so frustrating to watch because it’s not that he’s incompetent or powerless, it’s that he thinks himself incompetent and powerless, and so refuses to move. And if he ever moves it’s because he’s convinced himself that it’s inevitable. Someone is making him do it, this is an impossible situation, he must bend before he breaks (note: no one is making him do anything, there is no one left in this world that has the power to do so). It’s why his passivity and hurt comes off so duplicitous. It’s not that he’s not hurt, it’s not that he wanted this to happen, it’s that he could’ve prevented all of it but he refuses to because he refuses to see it’s possible. And I love him, and he moves me, but even if someone set up a perfect path to happiness for him, and all he had to do was take that one final step, by himself, no pushing, no cajoling, nothing but free will, nothing but him, he couldn’t take it! He wouldn’t know how!

every now and again I'll remember the fic that expanded my AU horizons. made me see the light on just how free we are to write whatever the fuck in fanfictions.
