The episode with his mum got WEIRDER and straight up incestuous but I'm kind of into the trans aspect of it? #MaxReadsTVC

He's going to shag his mum any minute now I feel #MaxReadsTVC

I have to sleep at some point boo why can I not just keep listening

🎵There once was a man named Oedipus Rex, you may have heard about his odd complex, his name appears in Freud's index 'cause he loved his mother...🎵 youtu.be/mScdJURKGWM?...

This is very Oedipal and WEIRD #MaxReadsTVC

The weird relationship with the mother again, I don't even know you guys but the sensory descriptions are lush as always. #MaxReadsTVC

Anyway back to crafting and listening to the blorbo. Who is already halfway to being The Character because that's apparently how this goes. #MaxReadsTVC

Since halloween is coming up, how about a free crochet pattern? 🦇🧛🎃 Available on my ko-fi: ko-fi.com/s/24d302336f #crochet #craft

if you think "maybe i'll treat myself to a second coffee! i'm sleepy and could use a warm beverage!" don't listen, that's the devil talking. you will stay sleepy but now have a tummy ache

Sexy pumpkin soup recipes

It's so wild to me how someone could write *this* and then get mad at people making Lestat gay on the internet. Ultimate fujo who's also the ultimate anti, with a strong element of non-sharing yumeshipping going on. #MaxReadsTVC

I hate to be this person but I really, really, *really* fw this book. #TheVampireLestat

What's it like inside your head?

Did he just kill Nicki or #MaxReadsTVC

LET NELSON MANDELA COLLECT WHATEVER HE WANTS

Everyone please diligently check your candy this year. I cracked open a snickers bar and not only did I find a copper ingot, but it was of poor quality. Worse still, when my man Nanni confronted my neighbor about it, he was treated with disdain.

I know this series is very good for the big sweeping emotions, and very good at describing overwhelm/ecstasy/etc but sometimes it's the little things. Like how when Lestat comes back to see his theatre friends, they all make way for Nicki because they know what they were to each other. #MaxReadsTVC

It's actually really easy for you to make me like your book, you know. Just put in a queer relationship that's completely normalised and casually accepted & supported as a loving partnership by everyone around the people involved. #MaxReadsTVC #max.txt

THEY'RE SNOGGING IN FRONT OF ALL THE OTHER THEAYRE PEOPLE I CANNOT EXPRESS TO YOU HOW MUCH THIS IS EVERYTHING #MaxIsKindaOverwhelmedByTVC

Not while I'm reading TVC, timeline

stick a fork in me, im a toaster

GODS LESTAT JUST GO TO THE BEAUTIFUL BOY WITH THE VIOLIN, HE'S PLAYING FOR YOU THAT'S A FORM OF COMMUNICATION JUST LET HIM SEE YOU #MaxReadsTVC

Oh no Lestat's gone to see Nicki and I think it'll go Very Badly Indeed 💔 #MaxReadsTVC

Lestat is filling the void with wealth and theatre and trying to lie to himself that he doesn't miss Nicki, but also is afraid of going to see him because Nicki'll be able to tell. This is quite sad but genuine and yeah it's the sort of book that just hits different post HIV/AIDS crisis #MaxReadsTVC

Turns out the weak men are the guys who listen to podcasts 12 hours a day and the strong men are the guys who try to prevent planes from crashing into each other.

Pierre Roget lives in the Marais, aka the gay district of Paris, because of fucking COURSE he does, GODS, even the incidental characters are gay #MaxReadsTVC

Imagine being in that marketing meeting and being the person going "yup, that Sting quote is going on the jacket in pride of place, because we want the teenagers who buy this to use the dictionary to find out what the hell 'erotic' means". #MaxReadsTVC

Well the "I pass well enough among humans, I can fool them I'm a normal person for twenty minutes" sequence didn't hit close to home at all at all #MaxReadsTVC

tumultuous business

Roman water spout in the shape of a wolf's head. Beautifully detailed and full of character it looks like a good boy proudly fetching the paper! 🐾 ❤️ Bronze, 2nd century AD. From Trier (Augusta Treverorum), Germany. Rheinisches Landesmuseum 📷 by me #FindsFriday #Archaeology

That thing people are always referring to as "I felt seen", I think I'm experiencing a version of that, but, like, through time. Just gently cradling little Max in my head telling him it's okay. #MaxReadsTVC

After a long campaign by the local TIN* group, my city is now offering a TIN* (trans*, inter*, nonbinary) session AND a women's session at the swimming pool. Now if all the trans women can behave and use the session my group (95% afab people because of course) fought for, we can all live in peace.

found another gold quote without context in my gallery

I do wonder though, is there a version with correct pronouns...

It's ended here, it was always going to end here (and probably with arc posting that edition that randomly has his quote on saying it's the most erotic novel he ever read, which, TYPE SHIT) #MaxReadsTVC #MusicalInterlude youtu.be/1Rz0oIZHKmg?...

Imagine being heterosexual

I'm also kinda fascinated that their relationship is unremarked upon though I'm sure their coworkers at the theatre, and whoever they rented from, must have known/suspected. Not every age had prejudice, or conceptualused queerness in ways we recognise today. #MaxReadsTVC

I do have to say I really like that Lestat and Nicki had a loving gay relationship as humans before Lestat was transformed. Like those lads clearly fucked, and lived together, and loved one another, and that's not insignificant, and more than can be said for Louis. #MaxReadsTVC

Gosh gosh gosh Lestat is really going THROUGH IT after his transformation huh #MaxReadsTVC

The German company that makes the mechanical ladder used in the Louvre heist has used the image to advertise, with the text 'When you need to move fast' 10/10 response, no notes

I have to hand it to Frank Muller (my audiobook reader) for leaning into the OTT performance of this as basically a sex scene, I don't want to know how many times he had to retake it because he cried laughing from how extra it is #MaxReadsTVC

And then it got EVEN hornier like DUDE IT'S OKAY WE GET IT YOU NEARLY DRAINED YOUR MAKER AND HAD AN ORGASMIC EXPERIENCE ABOUT IT #MaxReadsTVC

Lestat's turning scene is kinda insanely horny and also religious 😳 #MaxReadsTVC

Lestat you're not being punished for your life baby, you're just so pretty that a dirty old man/vampire has taken a shine to you! It happens! #MaxReadsTVC

SHIT DID HE GET TURNED ALREADY??? JUST LIKE THAT??? ANNE WHAT IS HAPPENING HE'S BEEN ADBUCTED BY A VAMPIRE AND NOW HE'S IN THE TOWER??? HELP??? #MaxReadsTVC

Waking up and being ravenously thirsty after a vampire snacked on you is such a funny detail though? Just weirdly anatomically accurate in all the intense EMOTIONS of it all? #MaxReadsTVC

Please know that there are large stretches of this that I am not livetweeting that mostly consist of me sitting here like this: 👀👀👀 #MaxReadsTVC

Ah ok it's Magnus not Armand. Still... Lestat's having a vampiric experience with Mysterious Face Man, and Nicholas is probably wondering what his boo is up to when he wakes up in a cold bed #MaxReadsTVC
