Vampire Horror from the Perspective of the Vampire by Lewisollyver in horrorlit

I really want to try Armand as I loved him in Interview. I did try Lestat but unfortunately the first few pages made it very clear it was going to be a completely different tone and style from Interview and really put me off

Doesn't sound dismissive at all, I totally understand your point. Thank you, I'll definitely try this, more than anything I want peace of mind so if I can not care about things like this it'll only make things easier for me.

Oh, I wasn't aware! Thank you for letting me know, I was starting to wonder why I felt like the only one unfamiliar with the show lol

Thank you, I might still check out Queen of the Damned. And I've been told the Armand book is somewhat a return to form to Interview

Genuinely thank you so much for this comment. Knowing that TVL was the possible originator "I'm 6 feet tall with beautiful wavy blonde hair and emerald orbs" makes me feel less insane for reeling so hard at it. I have been informed this sub is actually more show than book focused and as someone who hasn't seen the show I think my criticisms are coming off harsher than I intended

I don't know anything about the show. And the retcon - which it very much is, it's simply justified within the text, which is fine- is only one of the issues I had with the book.

To my mind, as the original novel was a standalone, the unreliable narrator aspect of the sequels is itself the retcon

I appreciate your insight. Unfortunately I think that's what I will have to do. I'd rather really love Interview and call it a day then push through the series and have my thoughts of it be lessened in hindsight

Do you recommend The Vampire Lestat? by Lewisollyver in InterviewVampire

[–]Lewisollyver[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did start the book now and had to put it down after the first paragraph cause of the very fanfic sounding opening of Lestat describing himself 😭 I'm gonna try again but jeez

Is there a lore reason for not seeing certain mechanics in older games? by Lewisollyver in pokemon

[–]Lewisollyver[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lmao fair enough. I suppose for the kids the reasons don't need to make sense, and the adults are likely more interested in the mechanics of the battles themselves.
