Gender-carrion - Mentally Ill Activity

You know what I think it is? Why this particular part cuts me like a knife?

“Why are you ill? What’s happened to you? I love you, Louis. Tell him I love him, Armand. I love you, Louis. Tell him, Armand! Tell him!”

It’s because this is Lestat trying to comfort Louis. This is Lestat, not knowing any details other than Louis has “injured himself”, trying to let Louis know that he’s loved.

Letting Louis hear Lestat’s undying love for him is of the utmost importance to Lestat, because it harkens back to the first time Lestat told Louis that he loved him under similar circumstances, only Lestat was there to prevent Louis from hurting himself by letting Louis know he was loved.

Lestat came to that church, hearing Louis’ thoughts and knowing he was suicidal. Lestat was telling Louis in that moment that he sees every piece of him. He sees the pieces of Louis that are awful and ugly. The pieces that Louis hates. However, they are all beautiful to Lestat, because they belong to Louis.

“I love you, Louis. You are loved.”

No matter what, in spite of everything, no matter how low Louis sinks or how wretched he becomes, Lestat just wants Louis to know that he sees, yet always loves him unconditionally and maybe, just maybe, Lestat hopes it’ll be the comfort and strength Louis needs to carry on and live for him.

And you? You go carry on with your living.

I’M. FINE. 😭💔🔪

INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE | 01.06 "Like Angels Put in Hell by God"

INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE | live, laugh, love variants (insp)

Jacob Anderson in Inside Interview with the Vampire Season 2.

I wasn't sure about Jordan shifting to masc before kissing Marie (I've been burned by shows wanting to stick to heteronormativity so many times that I get defensive a bit too fast). But!! It just hit me, the scene when Jordan was asking Marie to tell the truth about how they fought Golden Boy. At first Jordan was confronting her in femme mode, but when they started pleading with her, no more anger or accusations just genuine earnest vulnerability, they shifted to masc. And the kiss scene same thing, when they were flirting/bantering, they were femme, but when it came to kissing her, taking a genuine risk, they shifted to masc. Considering that their masc form has the invulnerable power, that was Jordan bracing for rejection in their strongest form. Whenever they feel vulnerable, they shift to their strongest form. And after finding out in ep3 that they were amab, I now love that their masc form is when they have the invulnerable power. Their femme form is them coming out, and has the most outwardly power (those super badass waves they send out). And their masc form is the form in which they've had to be the strongest and brace against expectations and rejection so that's how their power manifested. It's so fascinating I love Jordan Li so much!

oh OH oh.

"Daniel, you are a gift to me from Louis," Armand had said tenderly. "What would I do without you?
