Theory: Lestat is asleep in the Dubai Penthouse.

So I want to put this theory out before EP7 airs. I am nowhere close to 100% about it (barely even 50%), but I want to post it just in case I’m correct.

Since EP5, my belief has been that the 2022 part of the story takes place “during” Merrick. It doesn’t match Merrick 1-to-1, of course. But there are significant story points that match, particularly when it comes to Claudia’s diaries playing a significant role in the story and Louis attempting to end his un-life. 

And where was Lestat during Merrick? Asleep. Basically, in a coma. A coma he’d been in since right after book 5, Memnoch the Devil. 

In the books, Lestat went through basically three comas in his vampire life. (That I know of/remember. I don’t know if he goes through one in the Prince Lestat trilogy yet, since I just started it.) And I think the show has taken two of those comas and made them into one: the pre-Vampire Lestat coma and the post-Memnoch coma. 

This works because the timeline for everything in the show is shorter than it was in the books because of the aging up of Lestat before the events of Interview with the Vampire happen. (He’s 150 in vampire years in the show instead of just 10 as in the book.) During the time period the show is at by EP6, the middle to the end of the 1930s, Lestat was at the start of his second coma sleep in the books. 

And we already know from Claudia’s diaries in EP4 that she and Louis don’t get to Paris until 1945, after WWII is over and Paris was already liberated.  

That second coma sleep of Lestat’s lasted 55 years. And, gee, how long has it been since Louis gave that first interview to Daniel in 1973? 49 years now. 50 years exactly when S2 starts (assuming S2 comes out at the end of 2023.)

My theory? Lestat went to sleep sometime in 1967 or 1968. (Which, US history-wise, 1968 was a hell of a year. In the books, he went to sleep in 1929, the year of the Crash and the start of the Great Depression. Which was a fitting parallel.) 

If it was 1967, that would make it exactly 55 years since he was asleep by 2022, which is the year the show takes place in right now. 

Now, I couldn’t guess where Lestat might have started his over half a century of sleep. But I do think, at some point, his body was moved. And the place it was moved to was Dubai. Into the penthouse where Louis is living and now giving his do-over interview with Daniel. 

And Louis is now watching over him, as he was in Merrick when Lestat was in his post-Memnoch coma. I believe that part of Louis’ resting in EP4 was him also spending time with Lestat’s sleeping body, reading to him and such, as he did with Lestat's sleeping body in Merrick.

So, if this theory is correct, one of the final shots of EP7 will be the reveal of Lestat being asleep in another room in the Dubai penthouse.     

Rashid said Louis’ book isn’t just a warning to humanity but a lengthy suicide note. And I think it is a suicide note specifically for Lestat, for whenever Louis hopes Lestat wakes up. 

Just like the suicide note Louis left for the sleeping Lestat in Merrick.   

#Lestat de Lioncourt #Louis de Pointe du Lac #Loustat #Interview with the Vampire #amc iwtv #iwtv #yes this theory means Lestat slept though the 1980s #meaning he didn't do the rock star thing #not the 80s rock star thing at any rate #though he did at some point re-record that Come To Me song #the audio quality wasn't great #meaning I don't think it was recorded at anytime in the 21st centrury #it was just transferred to digital IMO #I think Lestat might have re-recorded it in the 1950s maybe the early 1960s #that's just my theory for now though #I'm prepared to have this theory shot to hell after EP7 #Merrick

Antique Georgian Pearl Diamond Heart Pendant

A rare find, this wonderfully crafted antique Georgian pendant has woven natural seed pearls into a heart shape with a sparkling center diamond. The diamond is set in sterling silver with even the bale of the heart having a woven loop. All layers are woven and stitched to mother-of-pearl back in which small holes were drilled for the thread to pass and fasten the ornament securely. All this is handwork done pearl by pearl, which makes it more the treasure! Very hard to find woven pearl jewelry retaining all the pearls and threading secure. https://boylerpf.com/products/antique-georgian-seed-pearl-diamond-heart-pendant

Do you own any Looney Tunes production art?

i’m incredibly fortunate enough to say that I DO!! i own this wonderful photostat model sheet from Porky the Wrestler!

a photostat is essentially the ‘30s equivalent of a photocopy, so it’s not THE actual model sheet drawing, but it was still in the hands of at least one of the animators who worked on the short! if you hold it at a certain angle and get the light to reflect off of it, there are actually some indentations of writing, as if someone was writing on a piece of paper on top of it… and of course the hooves and side snout drawn in marker which aren’t meant to be there (maybe it was a slow work day?)

i actually still haven’t gotten it framed, i need to… but i also just really enjoy being able to hold it in my hands and try and make out the writing indentations on top and also lose my mind at Oh My God Someone In The Tex Avery Unit Touched This At One Point. plus, the material is glossy/has a cardboard sort of feel to it (like a more sturdy printed photograph) so it’s not as delicate as animation paper and gets along fine sitting on my shelf as is HAHA. still, definitely want to find a proper means of displaying it sometime!

#it’s the oldest item in my collection :) i presume from sometime in late 1936 since the short was released in very early 1937 #second oldest is my 1938 Porky’s Duck Hunt book #thennn a Porky compilation comic book from 1942? then things get a little ambiguous with the age but generally span from the mid 40s #such as my Porky coasters Porky and Daffy pencil stand and piggy bank respectively and ceramic Daffy figure #i have a LT record album from 1947 and then a Bugs Bunny little golden book and Dell comic book from 1949… and two other Dell comics from 1 #1950 and 1951. aaand a Pepe Pepsi glass from the 70s #and that’s the extent of my vintage collection! #anonymous #asks #I FORGOT MY PORKY SQUEAK TOY! i have a rubber Porky squeak toy from sometime in the 50s also and he is very cute and makes me happy #he stands proudly next to the ceramic Daffy figure as they both keep the peace

Black & white TV was just beginning to become popular when CBS put a model of a color television on public view opposite the 42nd St. Library, November 13, 1950. The contraption was a b&w set with an external adapter and a color converter added to it.
