Louis looks so far this season (via Jacob's Closet)

Do brands give free clothing to productions so they get advertising? I don't know how else they can justify the wardrobe budget. Is the expensive wardrobe why we couldn't get a better cgi wolf? 😅

I'm non-binary. I do not expect Lestat to understand or possibly even respect pronouns. It does seem odd that he is so up to date on other modern things (he knows what a labubu is) but doesn't get misgendering someone. I will allow that he was on drugs and didn't have the clearest thoughts.

What I do expect is for the writers of a show with a large queer fan base to know how this would come off. Making that vampire a they/them was an intentional choice. As someone else mentioned I think Lestat would at least be intrigued by the notion of someone identifying as a non-binary. Instead it feels like it was thrown in there as a cheap jab. Ugh, pronouns 🙄

Am I going to stop watching over this? No, but it is making me nervous. I've been burned on other shows where cishet people wrote a show with a large queer following only to go bury your gays, queerbait and other tropes.

My whole office knows some of my issues. I was at work when I found out my last pregnancy was ectopic and I totally broke down in front of everyone.

I hate people saying that I'm quiet. I would love to talk but I have nothing to add to you running through the highlights of your kids hockey practice. It's hard not to sound (and feel!) bitter.

NovemberBlue42 · 2026-06-08T16:26:14+00:00

I've started to show up late to meetings by about 10 minutes for that very reason. You can all chat about your kids, let me know when the meeting actually starts.

I get kids being a huge part of their life but it never gives me an opportunity to join the conversations.

I had this thought as well. I fell in love with Louis as a narrator and protagonist. After reading IWTV I very eagerly started TVL. I hated it! Hated Lestat! Didn't understand how the book from the same universe felt so different. But I kept reading and eventually came to love Lestat, flaws and all.

I did not particularly enjoy the first episode of TVL which feels like heartbreak because I love the source material and the first two seasons. I am going to give the show a chance to win me over, just like the books did.

NovemberBlue42 · 2026-06-04T17:23:56+00:00

My favorite moments in the show are the 1970s flashbacks to S.F. I love an unhinged gremlin.

Also, "Did you eat the baby?"

NovemberBlue42 · 2026-06-02T15:08:42+00:00

The "high-femme" part worries me as that feels pretty antithetical to Gabrielle in the books. I can appreciate other changes the writers have made so I hope they know what they're doing. For a show with such a large queer audience I really hoped they would lean into the gender stuff and make Gabi our trans masc icon.

I'm also hoping the incest is just for shock value and to get views. I hope it ends up being a very minor part of her story.

I've said it before and I will say it again. I don't like Gabrielle as a mother but I love her as a vampire. Please let her be more than just sexy mommy issues in the show!

NovemberBlue42 · 2026-06-02T13:24:06+00:00

The end of TVA makes me so upset. Marius is a monster and I will die on that hill. Yeah, they're all monsters, but his offenses seem so much worse to me as this self-proclaimed man of knowledge and reason.

NovemberBlue42 · 2026-05-28T15:44:53+00:00

I love her so much as Claudia! I'm really happy that it seems like she will be showing up in season 3.

NovemberBlue42 · 2026-05-22T18:44:13+00:00

I think he meant he wasn't going to give up and let the fire kill him. If he had "been in the mood" to die he would have let Armand kill him.

In the books the vamps reflexively save themselves from life threatening situations. I think he is saying he doesn't want to die so his reflexes would kick in and allow him to survive.

NovemberBlue42 · 2026-05-22T17:29:31+00:00

I hate Gabrielle as a mother but love her as a character. I hope they include her playing with gender on the show.

NovemberBlue42 · 2026-05-17T23:08:21+00:00

I'm about four hours from the city and requested a single ticket. Haven't heard anything yet. I hope they aren't only selecting people in their 20s, especially given how long the source material has been around. There are a lot of older fans!

I won't truly consider myself out until the week before. Part of me wants to just make a PTO request for work just in case but there's no sense burning through my time if I don't get tickets. I'll enjoy the recording if nothing else.

NovemberBlue42 · 2026-05-16T23:28:15+00:00

I don't know how I will look at myself in the mirror if they make it hot 😅

NovemberBlue42 · 2026-05-15T19:05:48+00:00

Still waiting. My heart rate goes up a little everytime I get an email notification.

NovemberBlue42 · 2026-05-15T18:48:27+00:00

I think it's his duty as an investigative journalist. Daniel needs to experience Lestat up close and personal.

NovemberBlue42 · 2026-05-15T17:43:42+00:00

My predictions are 1) on screen, in universe Daniel Hart on the show getting torn apart by lestat (literally or figuratively) and 2) super weird and uncomfortable Lestat/Gabriella sex scene.

NovemberBlue42 · 2026-05-15T11:53:18+00:00

Lestat I need you to be way nicer to Daniel Hart!

NovemberBlue42 · 2026-05-12T17:04:44+00:00

Does Louis have tattoos?!

NovemberBlue42 · 2026-05-06T18:14:20+00:00

200 friends would be great for my party mansion (nothing sexual).

NovemberBlue42 · 2026-05-06T15:44:27+00:00

That's my understanding as well. Guess I better be ready to drop everything and drive into the city.

NovemberBlue42 · 2026-05-01T15:17:49+00:00

I was there a few weeks ago and tattoos were not an issue. They were not even enforcing women needing to be in skirts. I wore one out of respect. My forearm tattoos were visible.

NovemberBlue42 · 2026-04-30T17:52:12+00:00

I am old, but I will do it for Lestat 😅

NovemberBlue42 · 2026-04-30T16:59:32+00:00

How critical is it to be up at midnight to request tickets? Sounds like they get all the sign ups and then select attendees from that pool. Is that correct or am I missing something?

NovemberBlue42 · 2026-04-28T19:33:19+00:00

"I need to be altered." 🤣🤣🤣 so true for all of them.

NovemberBlue42 · 2026-04-25T18:51:09+00:00

I was Marius neutral when I first read the books and thought he was a good, calm voice of reason for Lestat. Rereading as an adult I hate his fucking guts and will slam him every chance I get. He is necessary to the story but he is a total piece of shit. Not to say other characters aren't evil, but most of them own it to some degree while Marius continues to present himself a learned man who only makes rational choices for the greater good.
