They kept dropping hints that he wasn’t coping well with the idea of Grace marrying Levi… that was the breaking point for him.

It was sunrise when Paul stepped off the roof and Lestat would have needed to be close by to get in his head to make him do that
Paul had those birds in his head talking to him long before Lestat met Louis. The family had previously had him put in an institution because of his mental health issues.

Thank you - 4 password reset emails in 5 days was starting to make me paranoid!

That's a lovely story ... slow burn of course, but shows the pain of Lestat's childhood and his resilience developing

there are no words to express the stupidity of these takes on vampires, Sam Reid or the show itself... all based on the trailer for S1 alone apparently...

Excellent update! Not spoilers here - but 'who'd have thought!' ...

Meanwhile, Louis's trademark method of opening doors is still a delight to behold.

Maybe both? I’ve not been in the mood to write anything for IWTV for months… I think fandom behaviour isn’t helping… and there is more online activity critical of the franchise which makes it hard to be enthused

has anyone been able to reach out to her?

it is - UK age verification requirements at play

that thread asks me for age verification ... and a face scan ...

true - although it was Anne Rice who made Louis a slave owner and not Brad Pitt, so he can't be blamed for that. And, in the book, Louis is very whiny and hypocritical ... we're just lucky that Rolin Jones took LDPDL and dialled him up to 11 with the writing, casting and change of background

That’s fantastic! So good that you are managing to regain what was stolen from you in terms of being active and getting out and about independently ❤️

And that is a fern!

Join the ranks of those who read the books, watched the show, saw the movie and yet still are under the spell of Lestat. All lacking in morals, drawn inexorably to the adorably vain, flawed, vulnerable, traumatised, beautiful monster that is the Brat Prince.
If this is failing, we're in good company

all 20 never done, or done?

he'd do it to wind up Daniel ... like with the goblet... he's got good reason to be pissed off with Daniel and want to annoy him as much as possible

People who don't have addiction issues underestimate how hard it is to quit alcohol. But being a legal drug, not just socially acceptable, but more often than not socially expected, tied into socialising generally, makes staying sober bloody hard. Remember, each day is one more day. You're not alone

Been there twice and it's tough, having to deal with practicalities and logistics while mourning ... take care of yourself, eat candy if it helps ... and take support wherever it's offered - 🫂
