WHAT THE ACTUAL F?? *INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE* Reaction 1x5 - A Vile Hunger for ur Hammering Heart

[@TheLexiCrowd]

Hey guys! Unfortunately the song that plays during the credits got copyright claimed so i had to switch it out. I know it’s a bit random but hopefully it isn’t too bad.

[@rachelz57]

WHOMST is claiming copyright for charles manson 😳

[@HuntingViolets]

@@rachelz57 That does seem odd.

[@PerfectlyImperfect93]

Girl that’s Charles Manson’s song it’s fine lmao

[@erick7895]

This episode is controversial but for me its the perfect reminder of the predatory side of a vampire, not to forget that their nature is violent and inhumane. what i like to say "it's a love story between monsters!" Bruce's introduction, Lestat's savege attack, and Claudia's serial killer phase, it's all monster instinct, and that's why louis is so fragile, he's fighting this instinct. in the words of the devil himself: Embrace what you are, you're a killer louis

[@multifandomedits2024]

Very well said

[@YouMe-ru6wi]

Wonder if we will ever see Bruce again next season or future seasons? imagine Louis comes across Bruce and kills him for what he did to Claudia.

[@saraandreoli3684]

honestly the situation is very messed up, very toxic, but i can’t help but find this dynamic so fascinating. lestat and louis love each other. they really do. lestat is continuously looking for love and companionship from louis, for comfirmations that he loves him. but at the same time he (lestat) can’t be completely honest and open with louis, for a milion reasons. and the more he lies and manipulates the truth, the more louis gets emotionally distant, and the more lestat cheats and lies, in a neverending cycle. and claudia is not a saint, she knows that perfectly well, and she uses that to manipulate louis in her way. and so lestat hates her and resents her, because he sees through her bullshit when louis absolutely cannot, and becuase he knows perfectly well that she’s the only person who could take louis away from him. and so louis gets even more distant and lestat gets ever more frustrated and the toxic cycle continues. the last scene was just an explosion of all of this. as i said, i love this dynamic, not because i find it good and healty but because it’s so dramatic and cinematic and fascinating.

[@woozyz2769]

Overall, Interview with the vampire is peak queer romantic fiction. It has everything a normie watcher wants or rather relates too which is the whole queer regime, toxic relationships, romance, gore, mystery and most importantly........... it's vampires! Lestat is like Klaus (Personality wise) from the originals but gay while Louis is like Elijah but without the strategic mindset that Elijah has and but is more gay. Not sure if you know the originals or not but it's also a vampire series

[@la_beatrice]

I just finished watching season 2, so I decided to watch you reactions, and I am so glad I did! Everyone I know who is also watching the show is very familiar with the characters. Watched the movie, read at least one of the novels. It was a blast to watch your reaction to the previous episode because you actually didn't know who Claudia was! That was awesome, I had no idea there were still people so in the dark about Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles, and that makes for excellent reactions.

[@HuntingViolets]

Lestat really leapt out of that coffin.

[@multifandomedits2024]

Sam is amazing with his movements!! How the hell he got in and out of the coffin so swiftly?

[@specificsoup]

@@multifandomedits2024 I think they put him on a wire for some scenes

[@IndieRockerHippy]

I don't think he was on a wire for that - just agile

[@specificsoup]

@@IndieRockerHippy it looked like he rose off the ground without like, supporting himself at all. His legs didn’t bend. Idk I gotta watch it again, it just didn’t look humanly possible haha

[@IndieRockerHippy]

You mean when he was in Claudia's coffin and jumped out? I think he just used his arm strength to push himself off - Sam is pretty muscly 😄

[@mitchmatt6002]

The traumatised women-child, the conflicted father/husband, and the insecure mentor/lover - that was one brutally explosive family reunion! And just like you said, while it's horrible to see an injured Louis taken skyward, the night sky backdrop is almost romantically presented while Lestat begs to be 'released' from his feelings for Louis - and I think that shows both how ugly AND beautiful things can be between them! But no truer words were spoken than Lestat telling Claudia that it was never her that he wanted! Two more left.....

[@blkbeetle409]

Just when u thought we were getting a happy family reunion Lestat 😢

[@rydbthatsme]

Claudia is so much more unhinged in this series than the movie because they aged her character! I wasn't a fan at first of that change but as the show progresses I actually kind of love it, because the actress does such an amazing job of portraying her!

[@alishab88]

The fight scene was sad because you could tell Louis was stuck in the middle and didn’t want to choose between his husband and daughter. Also, do you know why Lestat bit him? The last time he bit him was in episode 1, where they were intimate, and they levitated. But I wasn't sure if it was meant to weaken him, so he has no choice but to stay and heal, or do you think he wanted force a “physical” connection? I know they haven't been intimate in 5 years, and Lestat said " I choose you".

[@remholloway2579]

In the book vampires dont have physical sex. So when they bite each other it is seen as the equivalent. So with that in mind this could be seen as a sort of sexual assult.

[@remholloway2579]

I think after these first two seasons Lestat will become the main chracter of the show. In the book series after the first book Louis's perspective is done and it becomes about Lestat.

[@tdali8347]

Lestat: "I'll kill her soon." Me: "Bwahaha!"

[@christiana7424]

Let me give you hug for this episode 😢💔

[@KiannaKitter]

They're vampires. You can't judge them from a human standpoint. These two are pretty dysfunctional during this phase of their lives but they're also inevitable soulmates. They fight as hard as they love but they keep coming back to each other in the books. Also... FYI, this never happens in the book. Lestat even says he would never hurt Louis or Claudia, he loves them both so either the writers took some liberties or it didn't actually happen the way Louis says it did. There's just some things in his interview that does not add up. Anyway, Lestat is not going anywhere, rest assured.

[@roderick8167]

Whoo ! this episode a doozy everytime I watch it it's no easier , this episode hits way too close to home for so many reasons whether you've dealt with familial violence or domestic violence oh man this episode 😭😭

[@tdali8347]

Okay, I've been suspending disbelief, but no WAY would a 1920s cop look back & forth between these two men and talk about their "daughter" @8:04

[@remholloway2579]

there are other small inconsistencies... like the black star line mentioned in ep 1. That cruise line didn't come out for a few years after that scene took place.

[@yehudisfriedman8459]

Odyssey of recollection…

[@HuntingViolets]

Great reaction.

[@mirrormask6141]

Yeah... That is toxic scorpio's love... We just hate uncertainity

[@crazy-kuroneko]

The writing in this episode is INSANE. it really shows the writers have the guts to do anything. Like, you said it's hard to watch etc but it all makes sense. At some point they really had to reach this bubbling point. Love to hear your speculations about the next plot. So I hope no one will spoil it for you. But AMC has released the teaser trailer for season 2. So would you consider reacting to that after you finish Ep 7? I want to know your speculations as well

[@TheLexiCrowd]

Actually i love to go into things blind. If i know i want to watch something then i never look at any trailers for it

[@justloading]

@@TheLexiCrowd same here

[@MrJdronin]

Love this show. The only thing I dislike is the Lestat slander. He would never do that to Louis.😢

[@alexie5201]

I always keep in mind that we see Louis's perspective only. It makes me question everything, especially everything concerning Lestat. Louis is, indeed, quite an unreliable narrator.

[@fizzychizzy]

@@alexie5201This event was included in Claudia's diaries which means is actually happened. We have a primary source from that time. Claudia was equally upset with Louis and Lestat for so long. She wasn't going to lie in her diaries to make Lestat worst at this time compared to Louis...maybe later, but not at this time. The event happened. Full stop. The question is how brutal was the fight and was it as one-sided as it was shown. But they definitely fought and Lestat definitely left Louis horribly injured after the event.

[@alexie5201]

@@fizzychizzy Oh, I have no doubts it happened. As you said, the question is how brutal it was, and maybe some other details are unclear.
