OH GOSH, some big happenings in VC world lately inspired us to talk about BETRAYALS.
We discuss some VC TV developments, Becket’s vampire Alphabettery, and some absolutely heinous vampire drama that we’re still not over and will probably never be over.
We also attempt to feel better by quizzing each other on obscure trivia.
Y’all like being in pain? Come on in.
SPOILER ALERT We will be discussing some big developments from The Vampire Armand, proceed accordingly!
Our awesome intro music was composed by Kerem Koseoglu!
Coven of the Inarticulate Podcast is a fully unofficial podcast created by four fans, we do not own the rights to any of the source material described in the episodes.
He did bring Neil Gaiman’s American Gods to screens, but he left alongside showrunner Michael Green after the show’s first season. Lost writer Jesse Alexander took over the project.
As we know, Hannibal status is currently IN SESSION
Mads has filmed all of his recent projects.
Hugh has only one movie and his Broadway play this autumn…
Bryan is free….
Martha
has started those conversations in 2017….
what I’m trying to say is that SEASON 4 IS CLOSER THAN WE THOUGHT!!
WHAT IF they announce it this year?? august 28th?????
If Bryan Fuller left the VCTV proj for Hannibal, I can’t really blame him, it would be good to know that he left us for smtg another fandom has been having *grabby hands* for, too. But still. Hurts to be dumped ;A;
LOOK WHAT OUR BOY BECKET HAS BEEN UP TO ILU BUDDY LOL
The Alphabettery is described as an annotated cosmology of Anne Rice’s Vampiredom, from A(kasha) to Z(enobia)
wheezing
Well we HAVE been in need of an update from the Vampire Companion… But, “Alphabettery”? Sounds? like a kid’s book? OH WELL AT LEAST THERES GONNA BE ILLUSTRATIONS. Here’s a letter A by the illustrator Mark Edward Geyer:
VCTV series pilot episode cover page, May 2, 2018 [X]
“Very few beings really seek knowledge in this world. Mortal or immortal, few really ask. On the contrary, they try to wring from the unknown the answers they have already shaped in their own minds – justifications, confirmations, forms of consolation without which they can’t go on. To really ask is to open the door to the whirlwind. The answer may annihilate the question and the questioner.” ― Anne Rice, The Vampire Lestat
Why include that quote? It may be setting the tone of philosophical hunger in the series generally. That quote probably wouldn’t be in the pilot episode, since Lestat won’t meet Marius until a lot of other stuff has happened first. That quote was very ahead of its time, and yet, even before social media, ppl have sought info that fed their confirmation bias.
Marius is right tho, to truly ask questions and be open to hearing answers one might not like, can be damaging to the asker, but it can also lead to enlightenment.
I think she’s (or whoever decided to include it now) choosing this quote to remind ppl that the TV series is not going to please everyone, that we all ought to keep an open mind about it, and to trust in the ppl creating it that they are trying for the best adaptation for their own headcanon. Does that make sense? Maybe that’s my own confirmation bias, that I would want them to be trying to manage expectations of it, but that they have to move forward and continue with their own vision, or it won’t get done at all. Then NO ONE gets even a little bit of what they want.
At this point I just want to see this thing begin during AR’s lifetime!
I will continue to fantasize about them hiring a Lestat who can sing and act, and sending him on a world tour with real concerts as part of the promotion for the series, and having a seasoned rock star (Sting? Bon Jovi?) write the music and coach the Lestat on stage presence and all that.
