VC/IWTV Meta Posts Pt1: Louis
Cuz AMC’s IWTV is slowly taking over my life.
This list is to help keep track of the long-form posts, metas, theories, headcanons, etc I’ve been making/participating in, especially since as these seasons roll out I’ll probably gonna have to eat a lot of my words, LOL.
I have to split these meta masterlists into different parts now, cuz Tumblr automatically kills ALL hyperlinks on pages that exceed 200+ links, and my original post got all effed up (which is why some links are missing–I have to manually re-link them).
General/Miscellaneous metas are in Pt2.
I’ve just recently moved Claudia & Armand metas to Pt3.
