The Beauty of Disorder

Rolin Jones please make this a part of season 3 I beg of you ‼️

The writers room is officially open. God has heard our prayers🫡

assad on daniel' turning. what the fuck.

The iwtv cast truly is a spectrum we have the deranged introvert who will say anything ™️, the anxiety ridden introvert who won’t shut up about his special interest, the resting bitch face introvert that’s actually a cutie patootie and a natural at extrovert ™️ shit, the anxiety ridden extrovert who will overshare on main, the chaotic energy extrovert who told the world about at least three crimes he committed in his youth in interviews and who generally just doesn’t give a fuck and finally their showrunner, the I thrive in chaos extrovert who looks like a nerd and acts like a nerd and will use his powers as the one in charge to lie in interviews and stir shit on the internet. Iconic. They are my honorary mutuals

confirming in a tv guide interview that not only will claudia return as a ghost but she will possibly haunt lestat and continue to explore their father & daughter relationship as the memory of her also literally haunts him was like multiple planes hitting the pentagon

This is like my favorite interview so far 😂 Even though he says it's all speculation because he's barely written anything yet.

Assad talking about Armand with Lestat's album on repeat, trying to find which of song is about him.

The Claudia and Lestat relationship stuff.

Them placing their hands on TVL like it's the bible.

Rolin listing off the musical influences for Lestat with his eyes closed from memory.

Lots of gems from this TV Insider interview with Sam Reid (x)

Rolin: "Yes, we've been thinking about it for a while. And we've been progressing it. But the show is The Vampire Lestat, first and foremost. That's the thing that we're most concerned with. Yes, that [DM] will not drop. There will be story point leading towards the DM. I think the whole thing is the DM. Every interaction you've [Assad] ever had with him is already part of the DM, wouldn't you agree?"

Assad: "I totally agree. I think it's being incorporated like...I think the DM is a concentration of who Armand and Molloy are for the whole series."

Rolin: "Yeah, I think everybody's asking for this one very aggressive chapter in the third book of this thing, and we're giving them season and seasons and seasons of DM. It's coming. It's happening. Don't worry about it. All good."

From Rolin Jones' statement about the S3 Renewal (x)

I knew people are still anxious about how much Louis' involvement will be in the future seasons no thanks to Anne, so let's go back to Day 0.

"I really wanted to write a love story". Yes, Rolin said TVL season is the part he's most looking forward to, but even before looking at The Vampire Chronicles, he wanted to write a romance first. Only after he saw there's enough he could build on from TVC that he said yes.

You can see this from each decision the writers have made so far. And just like how they changed Madeleine so she'd fit the AMC Claudia, they gave AMC Louis a lot more "meat" to go against Lestat (due to the big disparity in the amount of material available on each character, again no thanks to Anne)

So, unlike the books where IWTV is about only Louis' grief and being lost and the rest of the books are just Lestat going "fuck around and find out", AMC IWTV has been about Louis, Lestat, and Loustat since Day 0. And we still have the S2 finale, which Rolin says will show what they'll do with Louis next. Louis we know now is a lot more of Rolin and co's son than Anne's imo (Mark said Rolin feels like a proud parent of them both here), they've been painstakingly building him, so I don't think they'd just sideline him.

(And we already have the confirmation they'll explore the relationship between Loustat + Gabrielle. In TVL, Louis really only has one scene with her)

There's also this. It's originally in Spanish, I had to look for it first OML
