LESMAND DYNAMIC YOU WILL ALWAYS BE FAMOUSSSS. Also Loustat reunion scene here never fails to Get me. We embraced as we never had in the past.

Lestat is suuuuuch a marysue it’s kind of unbelievable. okay ms rice.

Updating goodreads to procrastinate reading through the elder’s story. i didn’t even wanna read marius’ 🫠

Ah Gabrielle. She really did try to keep him with her.

Armand/Lestat dynamic you will always be famous

He just wanted to be good :( Anyway let’s be vampires with mama. And now it’s time to slog through the les Innocents philosophy debate

I feel like some of the characterization/drives are just random. Inconsistent. But also I’ve been reading this in weird chunks without a lot of enthusiasm, so eh,

The time he spends with Nicki is so short, all in all :( Also, the first part of the book will never fail to make me emotional. Just a child who wants so desperately to be good. And then, later, his insistence to Nicki that art IS good, that they are doing good with music and acting. And Nicki won’t accept that :(

I kinda hope they do eat Sartoris but also i hope he escapes so he can suffer more

Idk if im just reading it too fast but wonderland doesn’t feel as impactful here as it does in the podcast. I know they have to cut stuff down but…sitting in it for all those episodes really made you *feel* it. This doesn’t, really. It’s barely half the book. I guess the changes make sense, but you feel the loss more here than with some of the other changes.

Weird that Garfield’s already packing up??? That doesn’t happen til after wonderland in the podcast. Wonder where they’re going with that. And where Magnus’ [spoilers] is going to come from??? Also FPRSoD is just…not as satisfying here. The prestige happening on the same page spread it’s introduced….just not the same, man

fuck, the chalice shit makes me cry. really glad they changed/included merle’s thing.

So far im appreciating the changes instead of being bummed about them (as i was the first time i read the book)

GOD the stuff about Armand makes me cry

Can’t help but cry over the fate of Amadeo, no matter which book goes over it. Genuinely makes my heart ache. Also i forgot that Marius has a hissy fit and tries to abandon Bianca forever when she criticizes him one (1) time after 20 fucking years together. Most childish Wise Elder award goes to:

Eudoxia forcemasc will never not be funny

>me when im in a self-flagellation and making-myself-miserable contest and my opponent is Marius de Romanus
