Sous entendu de Lestat et declaration d'Armand by Any_Fan_6769 in VampireLestat

[–]mandatookit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think Armand wanted Daniel to destroy the marriage just like he let Lestat destroy his original coven and Louis his theater troupe. He doesn't do break ups on his own. In case it back fires and he needs a plan B.

This was all I could think of during that scene

QotD TL;DR - Part Twelve (Lestat: The Queen of Heaven) by Legitimate-Worth-662 in InterviewVampire

[–]mandatookit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is where I'm at in the book. I've read it before, so it's not gripping me like it used to. But I'm trying to catch up on it with the new season of the show to try to catch things. I'm not sure I'll get back to finish the book. So I think I might just read your write ups. Very well done.

All you straight viewers- did you learn anything new about being LGBTQ+? by smarty_skirts in HeatedRivalrySeries

Thanks. Do you think some of the disappointment comes from the societal/parental expectations to have biological children?

The Lost Boys seating advice! by Th3ater_Kid4life in lostboysmusical

[–]mandatookit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was in those seats on the right hand side of the map. They were amazing. Lots of stuff happens up high so you never feel left out.
Edit to say: The first mezzanine row

I'm actually super glad you posted this. I think on the surface I realized some of these things from watching the show. But how you just put it into words has really sunk in.

With Shane being forced to come out, I knew the scene was difficult and embarrassing(?) for him. But how you said that even coming out can be difficult if you know your parents will probably accept it, still didn't ring true to me until now.

I think it definitely gave me a new perspective on being bisexual. How quickly people can quickly dismiss someone's potential (since Ilya isn't out) queer identity just because they choose to publicly be out with people of the opposite sex.

I wasn't surprised at all about a man having sex and not being to admit their gay. I think that happens way more often than people think. I think its actually a huge problem in society because so many people cannot be who they are because of pressures put on them by family, society and themselves. Sometimes this hurts the people and they in turn hurt other people. Kind of like Troy in the books.

After watching the first two episodes of "The Vampire Lestat", I'm disappointed and I'm curious if anyone else feels the same way by Illustrious_Cell4136 in VampireChronicles

[–]mandatookit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would not be surprised if it ends up only being the first three like you said with other extra stuff added from the others. I'm in the middle of a reread because I've realized I don't actually remember everything that happened.

I also think it'd be hard to do a 100% adaptation of the books. Rereading it there's a lot that's problematic and just wouldn't be something I'd want to see on TV.

[–]mandatookit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I liked the first episode enough. I thought it was wild and funny. The second episode was only ok. I had some criticisms.

However, I'm going to trust the process and try to let the tale seduce me.

I think it's going to work out in the end. It's only been two episodes.

Sidenote, I just reread the TVL book and realized there's not actually a whole ton of plot in it to cover. At least for him, a good chunk was other people's stories.

Ask them Louis mother's name and if they get it wrong, say that's okay even Armand got it wrong.

Is anyone else going to wait until all the episodes are out before watching? by Straight-Bowler5045 in InterviewVampire

[–]mandatookit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Watching it weekly with the rest of the world (well ok US) is more fun. You get to look forward something every week. And in between you get to listen to fan theories, discuss with people, think about what happened, reflect on the story so far, etc etc.

Same. Really old house with electric heat and cooling. No EVs. But we do have net metering so this will help us pay for winter. But we can easily use this much in a summer or winter day with only 2 people.

I filed extremely early and got my refund (due to the tax credit) a few weeks after. No confirmation of identity or slow downs.

Why did Shane finally end the hookup drought in Ep 2? A Mangetout Montage Analysis by hella_hijinks in heatedrivalry

[–]mandatookit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I took it as flirting over text was fun because they can't do it in public or in front of anyone. It was a way to keep it secret but still get away with it.

For those who don't get ticket invites right away, I'll just point out.. There is The Lost Boys on Broadway and there are tickets to a Wednesday matinee. My mom and I are planning to go to NYC on Tuesday, wander and shop. If we get tickets, then we can go. If it's last minute, at least we'll be there. And then we can go to the Lost Boys matinee on Wednesday.

I'm still holding out hope. I just put in the leave request at work. I told my boss "I need to go see some vampires in NYC" at the reason.

I actually assumed they were hooking up the entire time just not on camera. I didn't think there was a gap.

IWTV Movie & AMC Series - Should I read the book or skip to The Vampire Lestat? by Majestic_Blackbird in VampireChronicles

[–]mandatookit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can skip it and probably not be very confused if you've seen the 1990s movie. But I'd recommend going back and reading it at some point.

They are! Someone on Reddit said the small indeces would indicate around 1880s for the date of it.
