FanArts, manips of Lestat & co of IWTV show & The Vampire Chronicles. Loustat endgame!
I'm not sure abt the witches/police but revenants as half cooked vamps are pretty close. When they talk abt the mind-reading, Raglan James, the hotel as a front, the vampire Jasper with his healing blood and feeding from the ancient vampire, that all sound like Anne Rice's vampire chronicles to me.

This is so good 😂 🤣 I love how lewd her Lestat always is.

Thirty years later I finally will see The Vampire Lestat being made into a show so yeah, I'm pretty damn happy.

No I've been reading them since 1994. My copy of TVL has peeled off from too much reading. I do have my favourites. I read the last three Prince Lestat books AFTER the show, bc tbh, Blood Canticle was very meh to me. But the show makes me fall in love with the Vampire Chronicles again.

that's fine. of course you're entitled to your view. i just wanted to understand a few points that you brought up.
November 11, 2025 at 2:12 AM
You mean Antoine -> Antoinette. yes that's sore point for me. But S1&2 = book1 is Louis' bitter POV of Lestat. According to Louis, he's a lying, impotent bastard with voice like dry twig etc etc.

We'll see if Lestat is all that in S3. Antoinette lasted 20 yrs with him. There's more to it than that.

yes i notice that, just wonder how this translates to visual media & general public who hasn't read the books. In the current politic, TV shows/movies are too careful but still queer-bait freely. i'm glad they didn't queerbait and just went for it. The show focuses on Loustat love as it should.

I actually realize now that I don't get this sentence "Lestat as biphobic caricature". I wonder what you mean.
November 11, 2025 at 1:52 AM
I like it too. It hasn't got the beautiful dialogues of IWTV but it's still fun to watch.
November 11, 2025 at 1:35 AM
no I understand where you're coming from. but I also get tv making the sex forefront, blood drinking messy. Claudia-rape will be brought forward again to mirror Lestat's in the hand of Magnus.

I wonder if 50 yrs after IWTV, Anne wouldn't have retconned if she could. I feel she did in Pandora & PL.

Interesting. I love the 94 movie, read the books, my faves are TVL, QotD and TtotBT. The AMC show revived my love for VC and I read the last 3 books of the Chronicles. I find the show to be closer to the whole arc of the entire chronicles. To have it made by this team is a dream come true for me.

Beautiful and moody tone!

Same TWH was amazing. Lasher and Taltos meh. But this show didn't even try to adapt the best bits of TWH. This could have been so good and it's just not.
November 10, 2025 at 9:55 PM
If you enjoy the TWH (which I adore as much as VC!), unfortunately it's not looking good for you. But try a few episodes and see. I watched season 1 - bad. And 3 ep of S2, ep 1 ok maybe? But flailed again immediately. I hate that they didn't read/adapt the source material at all. Absymal.

psst he's actually okay with ferns, he doesn't like palms but thought they're called ferns.

They always gotta find something to complain abt Lestat it's super dumb

Bailey Bass left the show 12 days into filming. They cast Delainey who had 4 days to pack her bags to fly to Prague. She did an amazing job. Here's a vid of the showrunner and producer being teary abt how she saved s2 #iwtv #InterviewWithTheVampire

I read your thread and am wondering if you've seen the 2002 QotD movie with even more straight Lestat bc Louis and Claudia didn't exist in that one and he's with women instead.

And have you seen the tv show S1 and S2?
