Interview With The Vampire – 1.07: The Thing Lay Still
sometimes i'm like i don't understand why people say there was no authentic love or desire in carol or whatever i enjoyed it but then something like the combined 2 seconds of katy o'brian and kristen stewart getting it on in the love lies bleeding trailer arrives and obliterates that delusion instantaneously like oh my goddddddd never mind lollllllll right right right i'd just been conditioned to expect nothing. hiiiiiiiii

Introduction to the Body in Fairy Tales by Jeannine Hall Gailey
prev post like the idea of enduring eternity with lestat is something that grows stale and hard and horrible over the course of the series but by the end, when he has to allow himself to fall in love again, he’s able to do so because the idea is temporary. he’ll be dead soon. so romanticising it all again is easy! just like any marriage that spark of new love goes out and the everyday is just endurance. but turned up to the max. put a time limit on it and it’s easy again! anything forever is a horror story!
once again thinking about Claudia being unable to live as her own independent self-appointed being, how in ep 5 she reaches the conclusion that she was made specifically to be Louis' sister and it so agonizing to me bc "Louis' sister" IS her big push for independence and self expression. Like its the big step she makes, the huge caveat to allow Lestat back into their lives. And it's still completely reliant on proximity to Louis. AND LESTAT STILL WONT EVEN LET HER HAVE IT.
And as a black girl ESPECIALLY she can only exist within society as a being described but one that can't describe herself. She's obviously a teen girl, she can't pass as an adult even when trying to tweak her expression (hair, outfits, etc) but yet by the nature of being a black girl many aspects of her are adultified regardless-- but only in ways that harm her (this is true in universe as well as how people interact with her as a character)
at the museum where i work we talk to visitors every day about how significant parts of the historic architecture around them were built with direct profits from slavery and they often make this face like yikes! the past! and then they take a picture and i check the time on our phones made with cobalt
having gay sex is like the least problematic thing that has happened in that US senate hearing room
