Half-Nude in a Blue Skirt by Norwegian painter Edvard Munch (1863–1944). A partially naked woman with shoulder-length reddish-brown hair is bending over, her face in her hands. She is wearing a long blue skirt that covers her lower torso. The subject appears to be exhausted, physically and/or emotionally. The painting is located in the Munch Museum's collection in Oslo, Norway.

Lestat writing about Louis: "I touched his face again, the cheekbones, the arch beneath the black eyebrow. What a finely made thing he was." ~The Queen of the Damned

Delighted to spot Jacob's partner, the lovely actress Aisling Loftus, in S2 of the critically acclaimed hit #BBC crime drama "Sherwood." She plays the wife of the female Sheriff of Nottingham. S1 of the series is also available on HBO Max, but only through August. #iwtv #lgbtq #BritBox

"Waiting for Someone" is a black and white photograph by UK artist John Tisbury. A young blonde woman, perhaps a student, is sitting provocatively on a school desk. She's wearing an abbreviated tie-front blouse, short pleated skirt, socks, and high heels. She's flexing a riding whip. Query: Who might she be thinking of using it on while she waits?

In this screencap from the SDCC trailer (not yet officially released by AMC), Louis is shown in the midst of an enthusiastic concert crowd. He's face-forward and his expression is disdainful. One assumes he's appraising Lestat on stage. Based on his old-fashioned clothing, he's most likely a hallucination.

Ah, memories. 🤢 This happened to me once at a college fraternity party, but it was a cheap gallon of very nasty red wine. #iwtv #tvl #rockstat #nausea
In this screencap from the SDCC S3 trailer, Rockstat is shown in a blood-drenched bathroom, having vomited his guts out into a toilet.

#Rockstat displays prominent keloid scars in the #iwtv S3 teaser. It's canon that wounds sustained after transformation heal over time. However, there's no definitive answer regarding wounds/scars received as a human. I think these are from the wolf battle and that Louis just didn't mention them.
A screencap from the S3 teaser showing Lestat/Rockstat, bare-chested with multiple reddish keloid scars from a previously healed injury, most probably from his battle with the wolves prior to his transformation.

In this oil on canvas painting entitled "Waiting on the Cliffs," British artist Robert Jobling [1841-1923] depicts three female figures on a windswept coastal landscape. The women gaze into the distance, appearing to be worried and perhaps anticipating long-awaited news [about #iwtv3 #rockstat #loutstat!]. Harrogate, Private Collection Walker Galleries.

At the Carmel Valley compound the night before the concert:

"One thing Louis," I said.

"Yes?"

"Those clothes. Impossible. I mean tomorrow night as they say in the twentieth century you will lose that sweater and those pants." ~TVL

Oh, he'll most definitely lose 'em. Often. #iwtv #iwtv3 #loustat
In this (slightly edited) photo by Toronto Filming, Jacob and Sam are shown walking into a Sheraton Hotel together on July 3, 2025. Their backs are to the camera. They appear to be in costume and Sam's clothes are partially whited out. Jacob's trousers are...unmemorable. Source: https://bsky.app/profile/iwtvimmortalfamily.bsky.social/post/3lt4lk4noxs22

We've seen Lestat (involuntarily) tore up from laudanum and arsenic, but no other drugs...yet. Apparently he can get blood drunk. I suspect he'll ingest various substances on tour when he feasts on concert goers. Can't wait. 🥴 #Rockstat #iwtv #iwtv3 #samreid
A screencap from the S3 teaser. Rockstat appears to be blood drunk and is passed out in a chair during the filming of the documentary.

Rockstat has apparently decided to stop shaving his chest hair every morning. And I'm here for it. #Lestat #iwtv #iwtv3
A screencap of Lestat from the S3 Rockstat teaser. His bare chest is partially displayed, and we can observe a thatch of curly hair (as well as possible evidence of several love bites).

Could the recent S3 casting calls for children (siblings/cousins) in the 1700s be for this scene in The Vampire Lestat? A family of (alleged) "witches"? 🔥 #iwtv #tvc #lestat #nickistat
An excerpt from The Vampire Lestat by Anne Rice: “I’ve always lived without beliefs,” I said. “Yes. I know,” he answered. “Do you remember the story of the witches? The time you cried at the witches’ place?” “Cried over the witches?” I looked at him blankly for a moment. But it stirred something painful, something humiliating. Too many of my memories had that quality. And now I had to remember crying over witches. “I don’t remember,” I said. “We were little boys. And the priest was teaching us our prayers. And the priest took us out to see the place where they burnt the witches in the old days, the old stakes and the blackened ground.” “Ah, that place.” I shuddered. “That horrid, horrid place.” “You began to scream and to cry. They sent someone for the Marquise herself because your nurse couldn’t quiet you.” “I was a dreadful child,” I said, trying to shrug it off. Of course I did remember now—screaming, being carried home, nightmares about the fires. Someone bathing my forehead and saying, “Lestat, wake up.” But I hadn’t thought of that little scene in years. It was the place itself I thought about whenever I drew near it—the thicket of blackened stakes, the images of men and women and children burnt alive.

Recently read these for the first time. 3/5 overall.

The Witching Hour: bloated, but engaging; fascinating family saga

Lasher: tedious; sexual torture/trauma

Taltos: more weirdness; kind of pointless

Advisories for: incest, rape, underage sex, sadism, deaths of good characters. #iwtv #annerice
