Going absolutely feral over interview with the vampire right now. Yes, the gay is surface-level, which is great, but it’s also responding to the earlier text which was only subtext, but obvious subtext- and to see it pulled forward and made explicit is just-
Like I feel like Louis is saying “I told you the story, but I didn’t tell it correctly.” He’s already DONE the interview, now we’re getting the uncensored version. He’s outing himself and the original narrative as unreliable. I have brainworms. Also am I the only one who has read The Feast of All Saints? Anne Rice’s gay interracial romance set in New Orleans? I mean I think it was a tragedy but the gay element was there. It’s been a very long time since I last read that but I do feel it influenced what’s happening here in a way that I would love to sink my teeth into. Where are my meta writers?
When he says “that was the last sunrise that I ever saw” I can remember exactly how Brad Pitt said that but it never gave me chills like this does. I’m already seeing so much more of who he really is and care about him so much more as a character.
