(Hey ppl, comment/reblog on your PLROA progress on this post so @angelicasylum doesn’t have to wait so long for meeee to have smne to talk about it with)
Welcome to the *~front burner~*, fam. When??? we’re actually getting that TV series is always a question – and those of us who have waited for years between adaptations have the patience of saints – but hell, why not be excited about it? Or at least cautiously optimistic 😉 Let it out. You can cry, bruh.
AR is planning on starting with TVL and she’s asking for fan input*, so…. let’s give it to her!
Figuratively, bc I sent my signed copy to its proper owner, but I have the e-reader version OPEN. Notes are being taken.
Don’t expect me to rail against it, what I’m looking for is good stuff. Anything from vampire physiology to clever dialogue, to good characterization, really, I am keeping an open mind and looking for the silver lining ❤
BUT, I do want to make a masterpost of links to ppl’s reviews, so please comment/reblog/
message me
w/ links so I can put together and share the most comprehensive masterpost.
I want a VC animated series!!! SO BAD. Bc then we could have serius moments with beautiful artwork, we could achieve scenes and effects that could be too hard to film or be too expensive, and then we could also have the sillier moments, distorted features on the characters like we can do in fanart… I feel like it would be a great medium.
Thanks for the info! Wow, we are going to be spoiled w/ all these TV adaptations… all the glorious bingeing…
The whole gender thing for Eli is ambiguous in the films, and, from what ppl who have read the books have told me, also ambiguous in the book.
From what I’ve heard about the book, the character is referred to with female pronouns until the ritual castration is revealed, and then the character is referred to with male pronouns. It is up to every reader’s interpretation to determine gender of the character at any point. If the author wanted us to have a definitive answer, I feel like that answer would have been made less open to interpretation.

skeletalroses said: I ~have~ read the book (and seen the Swedish film), and Eli did not seem to me to identify as a cis boy. I could certainly see agender or something as an alternative to the transgirl interpretation, but I’d be pretty skeptical of calling Eli a cis boy.
Re: Eli saying “I’m not a girl,” in the films, annabellioncourt said: yeah the book (original and translation to english) and the american film call her “her/she” and its 90% clear she means “not human” in this film.
Hopefully, the TV series will clarify this debate, if it is important to the creators/director to do so. Even without an answer to this, the story is still very compelling and I’m excited to see more of these characters!
