This is random, but if I were AMC, i would make The Vampire Lestat a real rock band for S3 as in they're releasing singles with Lestat and the band as the artist. It would be so meta, but imagine the potential PR the show would get from it. (I mean, look how internet eating up cunty Lestat now)
Like, buy at least four songs for the band, let Jacob write the lyrics (because his lyrics are so Good) and Sam co-write it. Release (complete with a MV ofc) one before the first part of TVL being released, one after the season ends, then same with the other two for the TVL part II/QotD season. Then release an EP out of them by the end of QotD part I season.
And make them legit songs. I haven't read QotD but I heard the songs in the books mainly to call out Akasha/other vampires?? Make the songs cathartic for Lestat; make them also about his trauma with vampirism, about good vs bad, mocking religion etc, so the whole band thing would be something he really needs to do (as in if Louis needed to do the interview, Lestat needs to do his music) rather just "fuck around and find out" yknow. And whoever ends up interviewing Lestat (hopefully Daniel), I want Lestat to bring him to the compound where he and the band live so we would get to see some some behind the scenes of the rockstar.
As someone who used to do PR campaigns, I can't help but see this potential. I mean, the greatest thing and main attraction of QotD movie (after queen Aaliyah ofc) were the OST; general people still remember Lestat will be a rockstar. Sam wouldn't even need to promote it elsewhere, internet could do it for him. You get me? This whole idea keeps playing in my imagination I need to write it down.

Stoicism: How to turn your sadness into strength
CHLOÉ VALDARY:
All human beings have felt sadness. This is part of what it means to be a human, but we don't actually know how to sit and be with suffering. We numb pain. We try to avoid pain. We deny that we're in pain. Stoicism is all about understanding what's in our control and what's not in our control. I can't control that an emotion emerges from me, but I can control how I relate to the emotion itself. It's the capacity to be with the feeling, to be with the emotion as it arises and simply watch it, not fix it. And if we can learn to be with both ourselves and with our fellow human beings within their suffering, I think we can actually learn how to transcend suffering.  
Socialism emerged after Alexander the Great died. Alexander the Great had just conquered the known world. His territories were being carved up among his four generals, and this was causing a great deal of chaos and a sense of existential despair among the people who were impacted by this conquering. Imagine that you are a citizen in Ancient Greece and in the past, you knew your neighbors, you spoke the same language, you were very rooted in your environment, but all of that has become upended, and you are now experiencing an incredible amount of homelessness. Not only physical homelessness, but existential homelessness. Stoicism was kind of invented as a way to deal with that feeling. This is why I think it's immediately relevant in our context today because there's all kinds of ways in which we can encounter existential homelessness where we don't feel at home where we are. So stoicism is all about getting us in right relationship with the things that we can control and we can't control.
The outlook is bleak. People could not control that Alexander the Great died, but they can control their response to the event itself. And in that same vein, I can control, and you can control, how you respond to the events that arise in your own life. Sympatheia is a Greek term. It's a stoic principle. And it essentially means a capacity to see everything as interrelated. So this capacity to zoom out of your own lived experience, it enables you to see how connected you are to other human beings and to what's going on around you. This is very useful, let's say if I'm feeling really sad -- instead of simply feeling sad, I can zoom out and think to myself, oh, what's it like to feel sadness? Instead of being in the emotion, I can be with the emotion. I can then say I'm not the only person that has felt sadness, right? And so even in that very difficult feeling, I can feel connected to my fellow human and I can experience meaning, even though it's a very difficult feeling to feel. And this is related to one of our most sacred pop culture relics. "The Lion King". In "The Lion King" Mufasa tells his son Simba about the circle of life. This is a very stoic scene where Mufasa says to his son, "The circle of life, it's a thing."
- [Mufasa] "Everything you see exists together in a delicate balance."
- And then Simba says, "what do you mean? We're not the antelopes." [Simba] "Dad, don't we eat the antelope? And Mufasa says, [Mufasa] "Yes, Simba, but let me explain. When we die, our bodies become the grass, and the antelope eats the grass. And so we are all connected in the great circle of life." This is the kind of move that can help us get out of existential despair even. I will add, however, as a caution, we want to zoom out and zoom in at the same time. There is a situation where you keep zooming out and you just see the vastness of space, and that can actually bring you into despair as well. So you want to do the move where you zoom out but you also zoom in simultaneously, and those two things can help inform each other and can help balance each other out. My stoic practices are very context specific. So let's just take sympatheia for example. There will be times where I am feeling sad and melancholic. I will, depending upon the situation, simply be with the sadness as a way to let sadness teach me something that's the sort of move where I'm going into the emotion, and that could simply look like me journaling about my sadness or me crying. Crying is excellent. I might want to write poetry. In my case, I will write music about it. I will emote in that way and letting myself move through it as opposed to trying to change it. After I do that, I can zoom out and think to myself, "oh, this is a feeling that many people across time and space have felt and this connects me with the rest of humanity." Compassion is about that. It's about learning how to be with both ourselves and our fellow human in their suffering. And it is that capacity to be able to read people that can only come from being able to read yourself. It can only come from developing that centeredness within your own being that can enable you to see that within the other. If we can learn how to get a right relationship with that, we will be less likely to project our insecurities and the things that we don't like about ourselves onto other people. And we'll be less likely in that context, to see things that are new, that are part of the unknown as threats and we'll be more likely to see them as sources of wonder.

Expanding a thought from a conversation this morning:
In general, I think "Is X out-of-character?" is not a terribly useful question for a writer. It shuts down possibility, and interesting directions you could take a character.
A better question, I believe, is "What would it take for Character to do X?" What extremity would she find herself in, where X starts to look like a good idea? What loyalties or fears leave him with X as his only option? THAT'S where a potentially interesting story lies.
In practice, I find that you can often justify much more from a character than you initially dreamed you could: some of my best stories come from "What might drive Character to do [thing he would never do]?" As long as you make it clear to the reader what the hell pushed your character to this point, you've got the seed of a compelling story on your hands.

You know I used to think "tumblr's absolute refusal to actually engage with the Trolley Problem in favor of insisting that there must be a third, morally pure option that doesn't require them to make a hard decision and anyone who asks them to make a binary choice is just a short-sighted idiot is really fucking annoying, but I guess it's not actually doing any harm".
Anyway that was before we asked tumblr at large to decide between "guy aiding a genocide but making progress elsewhere" and "guy who would actively and enthusiastically participate in a genocide and would also make everything else much, much worse for everyone elsewhere" and the response was that there must be a third, morally pure option that doesn't require them to make a hard decision and that anyone who asks them to make a binary choice is a short-sighted idiot.

in fics where luke gets plopped into the prequels i want every jedi within ten metres of him to think hes the weirdest jedi theyve ever seen. he has negative lightsaber form. he doesnt know what a kata is. he handstands when he meditates. his solution to sith is to try and have a chat. hes a political radical who keeps suggesting revolution. you ask him what the jedi code is and he says "kindness and compassion and helping those in need :) ". you ask how he used the force like that and he says some shit about how you are a luminous being limited only by your mind. the councils authority is just a suggestion. he is somehow the new favourite of both qui gon and yoda
