i know everyone (correctly) talks about how sam reid was possessed by the ghost of lestat and perfectly encapsulates him in the show but i honest to god firmly believe that that show would not have been what it was (nor received the reception it did) without jacob anderson. he breathed such life into a character that probably wouldn't have been all that tolerable for multiple episodes let alone seasons.
lestat's version of the claudia turning is actually the most fucked up haunting scene in the entire show by miles, just everything about it gives me the fucking shivers. the way louis drags her across the floor like a doll. the way it becomes clear that claudia really was just another step in the ladder of their fucked up immortal romance. the fact that she as an individual didn't matter at all but just the idea of her. the way we see louis properly, honestly selfish, lost, and out of control in contrast to how he was caring and considerate in the story he told with confidence and continuity. the way he seems like nothing we've ever seen him as, sort of hollow, unrecognizable. the way lestat warned him about the law. the way he USED,,, LESTAT'S IMMORTAL FEAR OF ABANDONMENT AND LONELINESS AGAINST HIM TO GET WHAT HE WANTED. HE KNEW THE THOUGHT OF BEING ALONE AGAIN WOULD MAKE HIM AGREE TO ANYTHING. it makes me sick to my stomach actually. it immediately sets a contrast to how we were introduced to their relationship in the first few episodes where daniel calls lestat and louis the abused and the abuser. it puts everything in a different light. for me the most horrifying thing about watching it for the first time though was the sudden realization that the person who we think louis is, who we think all the characters we got to know through his retelling of the story are, is completely biased and warped by louis' traumas, repressions, beliefs, false perceptions of the truth, and coping mechanisms. it completely broke down the narrative they had been building for two seasons, and made you question everything you'd watched and felt about these characters. absolutely fucking bone chilling. 10/10 no notes.

lovesick!sylus who always buys you the things you want without you telling him. if you pass by a store and point out something in a window with an excited “cute!”, he already has the shop name listed down in his head.
lovesick!sylus who loves putting a smile on your face. whether it be with gifts or actions. everytime you show up to onychinus, he always has something for you. “i saw it in passing. i thought you’d like it.” he shrugs it off. you knew he was lying but you went along with it anyway.
lovesick!sylus who never lets you pay for anything when you’re with him. “i have my own money, you know.” you’d say to which he usually responds with a curt “save it for when you actually need it.”
lovesick!sylus who absolutely hates when you leave on a mission for days on end with no contact. he ends up sending mephisto to keep an eye on you for him, unbeknownst to you. he’s sure you can handle whatever missions the association gives you, he just gets worried when you can’t contact him.
lovesick!sylus who one day sees you at onychinus spending time with the twins, playing games with them and having fun.
lovesick!sylus who watches you silently from the doorway as you chase the twins with the widest smile on his face. it wasn’t until you bumped into him that you even knew he was there.
“oh! sylus! welcome back.” you’d say, breathlessly. he couldn’t help but chuckle. “help me find the twins, yeah? they convinced me to play some kind of hide and seek tag hybrid game.”
lovesick!sylus who couldn’t ever find it in himself to tell you no. how could he deny you when you had the biggest grin on your face? “alright. i’ll help you.” he said, laughing as you jumped up and squealed.
“okay! i think luke went that way and kieran went the other way! i’ll go look for luke!” you said before scurrying off.
lovesick!sylus who would usually think playing children’s games was beneath him, but he found himself letting go and actually having fun.
lovesick!sylus who found himself wound up in a closet again, his limbs tangled with yours as you tried to keep quiet. it was the twins’ turn to find you and you ran to sylus, dragging him to the first spot you could think of.
you were peeking out from the door of the closet, panting very softly as you were catching your breath. sylus couldn’t take his eyes off you. the carefree joy that your features held warmed his heart.
lovesick!sylus who pulled you back in carefully as soon as he heard one of the twins near the room. he’d meant to keep you quiet, but he couldn’t stop himself from whispering a small, “i love you,” and kiss you.
lovesick!sylus who chuckled upon being found with a loud “gross, boss!” from luke as he found the two of you kissing. “the things you’ve done to me are unfounded.” he said to you, smiling.
