Episode 3 of “Interview With the Vampire” was all about man-on-man vampire sex and open relationships
queerty.comInterview With the Vampire. In the book, which I just finished re-reading, there’s this scene toward the end in which Louis is parting ways with this other vampire whom he has kinda disappointed and made miserable.
Well, you know, even more miserable than all Anne Rice vampires are constantly all the time anyway.Revisiting that I was like, Ohhhhh, yeah, this dude has a ton of toxic unaddressed depression and self-hatred that he’s like actively not doing anything about for centuries and so he’s constantly ruining the lives of everyone around him!Basically, that’s what was on my mind when I started Episode 3, which opens in 1917 with Louis and Lestat just hanging out in… I want to say Jackson Square or some other park named after some genocidal white tool bag or other.Louis is reading Darwin and is like, “Hey, babe, should we maybe start only murdering bad people maybe?” Which, like, I have never read Darwin, but that seems like a weird take-away from Survival of the Most Fittest or whatever.But Lestat, is like, “Sure, fine, let’s play this out.” So, they go wandering around reading people’s minds and pretty much everyone is just a drunk dirtbag but not, like, evil enough for Louis.
And Lestat is like, “Blah blah blah moral relativism” and “Everyone is shitty sometimes yadda yadda.” And when they finally do find this dude who apparently robs poor people, Louis still can’t bring himself to eat him.
So he eats a nearby cat.See what I mean? Is Louis maybe kinda the worst???Then they go to the successful brothel they own where Lestat, a white man, invents a famous real-life ragtime song.
