Exactly I was so happy abt that panel and so excited and bc Twitter is still the place where feeds move fastest I’m still on there (priv) and it’s already gotten miserable again lmao

I think it’s bc the screen time he is getting so far suggests he might be doing things they don’t like. And so that doesn’t count as part of his arc I guess…….

I think there was understandable fear with the white guy in the lead everyone else was being tossed to shit, but I’m seeing more and more evidence on these panels and in clips that’s not the case so I’m just. Confused as to people getting riled up again with hundreds of RTs over this shit

Exactly. The idea of him going after Bruce and going full unhinged vampire…when in the end it changes nothing bc Claudia was still hurt, violated, still died…that shit is compelling!!! I’m the end, he still failed her, no matter what he does now; and I think he reckons w/that this season by my guess

i have only just gotten over my fear of my fave being sidelined and ppl are bringing it up again. I was in the room last night when jacob said a lot of new stuff is coming for Louis. Just bc it may not be stuff u like doesn’t mean he’s not around!!! I think maybe this isn’t the show for u

watching 1994 and forgot how much Louis is into arson canonically. Like. it’s more spread out in the show and has the fire gift adaptation factor but in the movie he’s just throwing gasoline on things willy fuckin nilly lmaoooo

I have definitely watched this movie since getting into the show, but not since the hyperfixation fully kicked in, and i so desperately miss Jacob Anderson it’s terminal

i agree, I’m just wondering where/when the joke was made

as someone who was in the room I think Sam was emphasizing just how intense and fucked up it is, I think if there was any lightheartedness it was around stopping himself from saying too much. I think the cast is very aware of the gravity

which is why fandom as a site of exchange between writers and readers/fans is also a site of contestation. some fans really seem to hate the creators of the thing they love, as if they resent their power to impose problems. even when they don't there's for sure a kind of jockeying that goes on

Based on how the cast has talked about s3 so far I think the show is gonna go to some even darker places for these characters. This is not a rom com. As long as the writers do it with care I’m along for the ride. How else do such extreme characters grow? The plotless fluff is what my fics are for :)

I love this and I think it explains a lot of what I go to fanfic for, and what I write it for. I always apologize for writing my loustat too earnest but that’s just it; it’s my way of imagining softer solutions for them, and that’s okay, because canon is always going to blow me away in the best way

Sara Hinkley @boneysoups.bsky.social · 12h

Someone at the TVL NYCC panel asked if the writers had considered "solving" the louis-lestat-armand love triangle with a throuple and the response was an emphatic NO (lol) and i have a take brewing that readers/fans are drawn to imagining solutions where writers are more about loving problems

my tap class was so fun I am so tired running on 6 hours and a granola bar I am SEATING MYSELF FOR THE REST OF THE DAY (and possibly writing a loustat fic based on the teaser if someone didn’t beat me to it already)

when they announced Noah Reid at the panel yesterday I probably screamed the loudest and it was a guttural yell of vindication for me and @lestatte.bsky.social (months after set pics confirmed our theory, but still 😂)
