He didn't speak to me then, but a month later, we became lovers, of a kind. I chased him for eight months, and he was hot and cold for the duration, never sure whether he wanted me or not.

Sometimes even now I think I see him in the street or standing in a window or bent over a book in a coffee shop. And in that instant, before I understand that it's someone else, my lungs tighten and I lose my breath.

Then I took off my shoes and ran to the IRT, ran, as they say, like a bat out of hell.

Being gagged just does something to my brain. Something about it feels so helpless. There’s no more talking, no more begging, there’s nothing you can do to get what you want. You just have to take what they give you, whether it be endless teasing or fucking you so hard you’d beg them to stop if you could. Even better if they taunt you with it, if they tell you to ask for what you want, just to laugh at how pathetic you sound trying. Like you’re just there for their entertainment and pleasure.

#gag + blindfold + hand cuffs is top tier btw #cala posts

iwtv is insanity inducing bc every time you google some reference in it you find out theyre doing some 4d chess with the symbolism… like okay playing roosevelt's speech about the us joining ww2 in the background as claudia tells louis shes gonna kill lestat is pretty straightforward, and of course the chess game theyre playing foreshadows how she beats him in the next episode but doesn't "finish the game" ie burn him. and bc claudia later compares lestat to the nazis/hitler, that obviously makes lestat germany and thus claudia is poland and louis is the us/roosevelt in the speech we hear: "I had hoped against hope that some miracle would prevent a devastating war in Europe and bring to an end the invasion of Poland by Germany" etc. BUT THEN you get nerdy and google some of the chess terms lestat uses like the dutch defense and stonewalling which is pretty interesting and then you vaguely remember one of the writers said the scene was based on some famous chess game, and you realize it must be glücksberg vs miguel najdorf which turns out to be literally called the POLISH IMMORTAL. najdorf was polish and glücksberg is some unknown but based on the name likely german. this was najdorf's first famous game, at the beginning of his career when he was only like 19 or something although we dont know the exact details of the game (and ofc you watch a few videos on the polish immortal and they all heavily criticize glücksberg's moves which makes lestat's arrogance even funnier) and ALSO, in 1939 (literally at the same time as the chess scene takes place) najdorf was participating in a chess tournament in buenos aires and since he was not only polish but also jewish, he stayed there rather than return home. his whole family was killed in the holocaust but he lived a long life in argentina. why is this relevant? because BUENOS AIRES which btw lestat also calls "la reina del plata" so you google that and find the 1930 song by carlos gardel and the lyrics are literally— anyway so buenos aires is where lestat planned for them to move to in ep7. perhaps if they had indeed gone to argentina instead of europe… well… perhaps… perhaps…

#vampterview #spark in the dark #iwtv #interview with the vampire #i wonder if there will be more najdorf parallels in s2... theres a shot in the trailer where claudia is blindfolded #and najdorf set the world record for simultaneous blindfold chess in 1947 (!!!) which stood until 2011 #although simultaneous blindfold chess also does kinda sound like what claudia was doing in ep7 already #theres also the najdorf variation of the sicilian defense which was named after him but he stopped using it bc #(if i understand correctly) some amateur who simply memorized the moves from chess theory books managed to beat him at it. HMM #to be clear i know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about chess im simply reading this shit off wikipedia and chess.com and some youtube videos #i could absolutely be getting this all wrong i have no idea what any of this shit actually means #s #claudia

. . . I resisted the desire to touch him, to move close to him and put my face to his neck.

Whumpee’s tied down in a hospital gown gagged and blindfolded. 

The gag is so they don’t bite.

The blindfold is so no one has to look into their eyes when they run unethical experiments.

Besides, they’re here for the science, not torture. They had the stomach for blood but not for the crying.
