"the best way to screw jkr over is by making her characters queer!" actually. The best way to screw jkr over is to stop engaging with the property she still profits off of and read a different fucking book
Actors, please stop getting veneers and lip fillers. We need more period accurate faces because if I see one more medival princess with plumped up lips and teeth whiter than printer paper I'm going to kms
I will never ever ever ever shut up about Armand guarding New Orleans while Lestat slept. So much of love in tvc is distilled to making sure someone stays alive so you can one day find your way back to each other and even though Lestat JUST told him to fuck off, Armand will do this act of care, he will keep Lestat safe, because he doesn’t want to see a world without him.
And then while he’s stalking his ex, in walks Daniel and Armand decides Lestat is probably fine and goes off to buy an island.

that AP article linked is a wild ride
Peter Mattis, a former CIA analyst and president of The Jamestown Foundation, a Washington-based think tank, said there were at least two publicized cases in which Chinese agents seduced American diplomats stationed in China, though he hasn’t heard of such a case in recent years.
Mattis added that another issue is that Chinese state security doesn’t gather intelligence just through spies, but also by pressing ordinary Chinese people for information, often through threats or intimidation. That, Mattis said, means any Chinese citizen who dates an American diplomat could be vulnerable to coercion.
“The MSS is willing to leverage any human connection that a target has to collect intelligence,” Mattis said, using an acronym referring to China’s Ministry of State Security. “This rule change suggests the MSS has gotten a lot more aggressive at trying to access the embassy and U.S. government.”
The Chinese foreign ministry did not comment on the ban, saying in a faxed statement that it was “more appropriate to ask the U.S. about this question.”
I am emotional right now because we are getting an actual The Vampire Lestat adaption, and we are blessed because Sam Reid is Lestat and, Jacob Anderson is Louis, and life isn't so bleak. ♥️
“It's important that we remain connected to the center of [the show], which is the love story between Louis and Lestat.”
"Claudia is the most important person in [Louis and Lestat's] lives and, in my opinion, the show really."
Sam Reid fucking gets it.
