I haven't been as deep in the Takarazuka fandom for about 12 or 13 years (when a bunch of my favourite actresses retired) but it's so good to watch a new-ish musical and have the same feeling I had when I first discovered 'Zuka in 2008. I love discovering new (to me) top stars to enjoy!

When you need to leave your job and take a year off for crippling depression and burnout, but then trying to find a new job makes the depression return. 💔

It's taken me over a year to get around to it (thank you to what is probably ADHD but has never been formally diagnosed) but I saw Sinners today! I loved it SO much, just like I thought I would. An instant favourite piece of vampire media. 💕

My favorite Dolly Parton meme.

A twitter interaction where someone posted a photo of Dolly Parton looking hot as hell in black and red lingerie. Someone else replies to the photo with "Well then wha the hell did Jolene look like???"

Between this, and the children’s hospital that she funded in Knoxville, that I believe was recently named after her, although she hesitated on that for a long time because she didn’t want the recognition, she has saved countless lives.

The sun may be shining but it's never too early to hoard books for when the nights draw in. And the story that began my writing career, The Making of Gabriel Davenport, is only 99c/99p for a limited time! #booksky mybook.to/TheMakingofGabrielDavenport

Finally finished my TVA reread. The description of Lestat limping/staggering up to the house in Metairie at the end will always make me emotional. MY COMATOSE BOY. I love this book so much. I need to revisit it more than once every 5 years 😆

It's been over 24 hours since I watched the episode, but I'm still thinking about Strange New Worlds going full-Event Horizon. Never thought I'd see a Trek show do legitimately creepy and gory psychological horror. I LOOOOVED it.

I feel bad for the people whose first experience with The Vampire Lestat is that TV show. Just read the book. 🤧

Reeeeally tempted to do a rewatch of The Newsreader. Dale Jennings, beloved. (It sucks being a Sam Reid fan, but also hating the adaptation of the thing you love the most that he's starring in. Fuck, he could have been THE Lestat to me. I will never not be mad about this)

I feel VERY STRONGLY about all this but I think more people should also feel as strongly as I do that scrubbing fiction into something "wholesome" and "ethical" is fascist, pro-censorship, and pro-capitalist.

The “omg you’re not letting the tale seduce you” people are so annoying to me. I WAS seduced by The Vampire Lestat. The book, by Anne Rice. It makes total sense that I’m not going to be seduced by something that makes total mockery out of my beloved, yes?

Btw if journalists keep telling you you have to watch TVL multiple times for you to get it, then maybe take that as a sign that it's not good TV.

Sam Boo. 🩸 @samstat.bsky.social · 19/07/2026

Yeah, except there was no emotional fallout after the seance, and the show already used Louis going into the sun in s2 so they couldn't repeat it. And Merrick Mayfair wasn't just a random witch-for-hire in the book. 🙄

The book The Vampire Lestat is a gorgeous emotional philosophical Odyssey that is filled with memorable characters and intensely cinematic scenes that are haunting and beautiful and iconic, and has one of the most lovable central characters I have ever read about. It's a gift that it exists.

Now that the abomination that is TVL is over, I feel confident in saying that Hannah Moscovitch and Rolin Jones should never be allowed to "adapt" anything ever again. That show is not an adaptation of the book The Vampire Lestat. It's a nonsensical garbage fire. #tvlspoilers

When will these vampires start behaving like vampires? Why are they always in restaurants? Why are they drinking beer? Why are fledglings out in the sun and getting a tan? Why are they not hunting and erotically drinking from mortals? Why everything #tvlspoilers

Sam Boo. 🩸 @samstat.bsky.social · 04/07/2026

Of course they completely mischaracterised Marius and changed his motives and his relationship to Lestat. Because Rolin came into it thinking of Marius as a "controversial character", and he's pandering to the part of the fandom that also ignorantly hates on Marius. #tvlspoilers

Four episodes in and this show continues to be offensively awful. These actors deserve MUCH better material than "Claudia lookalike is paid to act like Claudia" and the shoehorned in Temu version of Devil's Minion (guess what? It can't be Devil's Minion because they're OCs now). #tvlspoilers

Truly sick of seeing TVL show fans who are book readers blindly defending the terrible writing and the disrespect the writers continue to show Anne's books, while still trying to compare the show to the source material. It's one of the worst things I've ever seen in my life, and not just on TV.

Sam Reid you deserve to be in a stunningly accurate Anne Rice TV show!!!!!!

Post AMC TVL episode 3 thoughts: Loved Nicki and Lestat, as I thought I would. Those scenes (particularly after Nicki becomes a vampire) felt like they could've been in a different superior adaptation. Lestat felt like the real Lestat for once, not the asshole he usually is.

Honestly, Elisa's episode deep dives might end up being the only TVL related thing I watch from now on. 😅

Sam Boo. 🩸 @samstat.bsky.social · 16/06/2026

Idk why but it makes me really sad to see some long time Anne Rice book fans settling for something as fucking awful as TVL. "We should be grateful"? For what, an insulting pale imitation of an "adaptation"? You deserve better! Stop licking Rolin and Hannah's boots, it's embarrassing! 🤧

110

Sam Boo. 🩸 @samstat.bsky.social · 16/06/2026

So the VC book fandom is at fault for the adaptation being completely different to the source material. Apparently we know the books too well for Rolin's liking. 💀

130

Sam Boo. 🩸 @samstat.bsky.social · 14/06/2026

So AMC TVL killed off a certain fundamental book character that was never even introduced in the show. And they did it off screen. Fucking FURIOUS. The disdain Rolin and Hannah have for the book fans and for Anne is SO glaringly clear to me, and I don't know why show fandom doesn't see it.
