Why is Lestat such a dum dum in this book? EVERYONE warns him not to trust the shady guy and he doesn’t listen.I’m reading Tale of the body thief for the first time and I have SO many questions.

I don’t want “wholesome” media, or even faithfully adapted media: I don’t need it. For fans to suddenly demand faithfulness, rather than meeting the show on its own terms, feels to me like a deflection. Reading dozens of posts that exclaim, “this is not my Lestat!” I remain confused… Because this show has never been a faithful adaptation, and for the first four episodes, fans were more than willing to accept the changes that suited their own desires to see the subtextual queerness expressed. Having read many of the books myself (including Tale of the Body Thief), I find this pearl-clutching of the canon puritanical, self-serving, and entitled. I particularly agree with the author when they say: This is such a great article that breaks down on episode 5 and give a very honest and nuanced critic of the fandom as a whole.
