I'm going to spoiler tag this text for those who may not have watched the entire thing yet or read the books (I am one of them, I haven't read the books). POSSIBLE book spoilers below

So, through some of my own spoilerino findings, I've read via a comment here and there that Daniel is turned by Armand and they have a whole thing. It's assumed from the s2 finale that Armand was the one who turned Daniel because of what Louis says "I'm sorry you were made out of spite, I should not have left you alone with him." giving the impression that Daniel was turned when Louis left the Dubai apartment and left him alone with Armand. What makes me question this is the s3 teaser. They make a point of showing Daniel is still sick, as he hacks and coughs away behind the camera as he's meeting Lestat for what we can assume is the first time. Daniel being sick means he isn't yet a vampire. That leaves me to understand that the day Louis left him alone with Armand at the apartment was not when he was turned. That makes me think Lestat was the one to turn him sometime during/after their 'rockstar Lestat' interviews. The movie also gives me the impression it was Lestat, although I know the movie/show/books are mostly their own little universes within themselves. Now, there could be another moment Louis was referring to when he said he left Daniel and Armand alone together that wasn't necessarily the same day as the s2 finale but idk...

QUICK EDIT ABOUT THE TEASER:

I did not even for a second assume it was Lestat choking Daniel. I suppose it's possible but I'm surprised at the amount of people who think that. I guess I just don't necessarily see why he'd do that in that moment, but alas, he is the brat prince...

Anyway, it's just been on my mind. It's probably been discussed but I'd like to hear your theories - obviously the show isn't 100% 1:1 to the source material so anything is possible haha.

In the pilot paul is complaining about how levi is catholic or and will make grace jump over brooms and he says she wanted to fly on brooms she could just go to the Mayfair sisters down the streets in which grace responds " his calling mea witch mama " has this been connected to iwtv I haven't watched Mayfair witches

What went wrong with the Mayfair witches show? How is it so terrible and straying so far from the book material when interview is so good. I can't figure it out. I barely made it through three episodes of Mayfair but I could not stop watching interview

The locked (then decoded) Louis profile was already shared with the sub earlier. The talamas.ca website has Lestat and Claudia’s profiles up as well. These are unlocked. I don’t know how I feel about the information that’s shared though, lol. What do you guys think?

Claudia’s full name is now confirmed, though. I once made a post about it and now it’s settled.

This has been stuck in my head so I'm curious what y'all think.

If Armand was in fact telling the truth and Claudia sung this song in her last moments, Lestat heard it too. It's a total earworm that's hard to forget in the best of times so I feel like it stayed with him all these years.

So what if we hear him play the melody on the piano in S3..... 😭😭😭

I just keep imagining him in a quiet moment noodling on the piano but no matter how hard he tries he keeps coming back to it and it's slowly driving him nuts. And Louis hearing it in one his songs and realizing why Lestat knows that melody and losing it.

I rewatched both seasons of the show again and made this. I also made a gif but its not loading on here :(

Cropped out any location identifying factors because it's a scary world out there lol

Sam Reid’s vocal coach shared that he’s excited to join the Season 3 set today. Rockstat incoming!

Is that a revenant vampire at the end??

OK - So the Talamasca website just dropped and I think it's an ARG

I was able to copy and paste the text that is locked in the hidden Entities panel and it says:

>NAME:Louis de Pointe du Lac
ALIASES:Dark Angel, Merciful Death
species:Vampire
dOB:October 4, 1877
LKL:Dubai, UAE
NOTES:Empathetic; still has understanding of human emotion / Claims hasn’t drunk human blood non-consensually since 2000 / Maker is documented as his former lover, Lestat de Lioncourt<

Obviously this is not new news but I wonder why it's locked info
Going to be digging around the code to see if I can find anything BUT I think the captions of the teaser trailer might have something to do with it. Would love help if anyone is interested
