Sex and romance are integral to queer identity, but so are the ideas of power and defiance. Queerness is surviving in a world that’s determined to see you disappear or live as someone you’re not. In Interview, stakes are heightened to astronomical proportions and the show stretches that tension to supernatural limits. In doing so, it highlights the damage that this world is capable of, and the resources it takes to exist within it. It turns out that being a gay vampire and doing crime isn’t ideal, but it allows Louis to be closer to who he truly is — much more than the human world would ever allow him to be. (x)
Grace’s love is heartwrenching she knows Louis is gay and doesn’t care but she can’t tell him she knows obviously so when she was like bring around your boyfriend (because she wants to meet this guy Louis is obviously infatuated with) she’s not quite teasing him because if she does he’s so skittish he’ll go cold on her and shut down and get angry but she almost is. She almost is. She’s teasing him just as much as she can get away with because it’s sweet and funny and embarrassing to see her brother like this when he’s never been like this before. and every subsequent time after that until Louis irrevocably fucks up their relationship she’s like is it still…. YES ITS LESTAT like girl just give her an update. She loves her big brother so much. “You know my situation.” YES SHE DOES!!! And she’s just asking!!! She misses you and she doesn’t trust that man! Grace’s pov of this story is insane. Louis isn’t a deeply depressed botched vampire to her he’s her funny and loving big brother being absorbed by a complete stranger and becoming that stranger. How many times did she see Lestat in passing over the years. How horrible that arch face became to her. How sickening that placid smile. And Louis becoming marble beside his marble spouse, two stone pharaohs, time blowing across them like sand, sometimes hiding them for years at a time……………….. Deeply satisfying version of this where Grace discovers what lestat did to her brother and she stomps him to death and then sets him on fire btw
Can we talk about Lestat’s brief mention of Those Who Must Be Kept?
Maybe they’ll show up in s2? How likely do we think that is?
Casting ideas?
Thoughts?
I kinda assumed that each book will have its own series so I’m not sure if they’ll be referenced in iwtv beyond that statement he made.
It may be a long shot but I’m hoping for either Tati Gabrielle (‘Chilling Adventures of Sabrina’ and ‘You’) or Yetide Badaki (American Gods) to play Akasha. They both bring that supernatural queen energy that takes you aback. Observe:
