Ultimate Being Kars

Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust (2000)

I love how the interview with the vampire trailer is sexy and mysterious and then the show is a borderline dark comedy about the retelling of vampire history’s most cringe fail marriage between the worst case of catholic guilt and eldest daughter syndrome being romanced by a dumpster fire gremlin that thinks more with his heart and dick than his non-existent brain and the coolest character in the whole story is their murderous daughter

Doodled a Rashid!

I do everything for Louis. INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE - S01E03 - Is My Very Nature That of a Devil

how can we forget THAT life 🗿

They look like a couple living in a rent controlled apartment in Manhattan who want to take me out for tapas and talk about my problems

SAM REID as LESTAT DE LIONCOURT Interview with the Vampire | S01E05

Who are you? You were supposed to love me, weren't you?

Help, I’ve funged my tokens Louis

some louis & lestat's and bonus nicki🥺 i literally cannot wait for the next episode i need to see them dance i need claudia on screen i need-

I really wish that everyone who is like "why is louis so closed up and closeted about his feelings for lestat" would actually analyze the show from louis' point of view

why doesnt he say "i love you"? because the last person he said that to jumped off a roof right in front of him, ya know his brother?

why does he feel so much shame about being with lestat? because he is a black catholic man living in the jim crow south america's own racial apartheid. Unlike other instances in historical fiction where queer men pretend to be friends, louis has to pretend to be lestat's valet aka his racial subordinate where he isnt even given the privilege to be considered his friend, not even his equal or equal partner

several instances of him "being proud" is him asserting his personhood and the rights he deserves. he hates the word fledgling because it makes him a subordinate to lestat. that doesn't mean he isnt proud: he is as you saw with the "no whites" sign, but he was violently punished for in canon by a race riot that destroyed the black community (literally!)

his (metaphor for an eating disorder) animal diet left him with a weakened libido, and the depression he fell into after Claudia left did the exact same. he wasnt denying lestat intimacy and sex as some punishment he was not in the mood in general! plently of people have the criticism that the show chose to remove ace representation by making the vampires sexual, yet seem to ignore louis' common ace/sex repulsed narrative of being cheated on because you wont put out

that doesn't mean that lestat cant feel hurt by his pushing and proding or his low libido and inability to say "I love you" but damn you all can take instances where louis wants to be considered an equal or you ignore the context of the world they live in to characterize him as the uppity emotional abuser which is frankly unfair and a very biased reading to the facts the story is providing at the moment
