i think it’s odd to acknowledge that louis being a pimp in the past damaged his relationship with armand bc he didn’t wanna dwell on his own guilt abt it, while simultaneously reconfirming daniel as a sexual predator every other episode and pushing the dm agenda +
“You tell whoever the fuck brought you back into my life”
we’ll def bring this back, it’s too pointed not to and goes with what I’ve said that I’ve seen Gabriella as a type of liaison this whole time
armand didn’t torture louis to avenge sex trafficking victims, he did it because louis didn’t love him enough. since we’ve seen armand on screen he’s had naked women killed on-stage, slept with louis whilst lying about claudia, leaked a video of gabrielle assaulting lestat
was asking myself why marius was at the long table all day, then rewatched episode 5 and realised he was the first one to call lestat a failure. so lestat’s mind invited him as the president of the company
"And no one’s really, I think the audience as well to an extent, haven’t really fathomed what it actually is that happened to him. And this is the one time, this is the first time, I think, that it’s spoken of."

sou muito fã da escolha do “where’s louis” ser inaudível porque no momento que o lestat diz que só teve uma coisa em mente assim que voltou da morte você SABE que coisa é essa e seu cérebro fala “louis” ao mesmo tempo da leitura labial e *chefs kiss* 🤌🏻
lestat throwing up as he’s in the middle of trying to rationalise his trauma, as if his body is remembering what his mind refuses to acknowledge, the body keeping the score etc etc #tvlspoilers
The host did make a very interesting point in the AD episode that I was also thinking since I first saw ep 6. Claudia broke the salt circle… which means there’s a chance Merrick didn’t actually send her back to purgatory. #tvlspoilers
Y’all missed Merrick calling out the Du Lac Family’s history of selling flesh. Louis included.
I don’t think Claudia ever felt Louis and her had the same Black experience.
She always poked at his Blackness (and gayness). From season 1. Why y’all mad now?
You can see exactly where it hits both of them that it isn’t just an affair that lestat hides for fun. he is a victim of centuries long abuse and grooming and this relationship w gabi isnt something he wants. which is a driving factor of sm of his actions.Oh the actors they are.
the stuttering, the trembling hands, the frantic rushed talking with no pause to breathe till he's left gasping for air like his whole body was shutting down— felt painfully familiar
It makes me wonder how many times he did this in his room as a boy to disassociate from his awful family. Playing make believe because he didn’t know how to read to escape. His father didn’t let him go outside to make friends: he was a prisoner of his own home. #TheVampireLestat
Louis was a pimp, yall were fine. Now a face we love is living the reality of how men like Louis operate, and you're uncomfortable. Like how yall was mad when someone said Claudia coulda been one of Louis's girls, but woulda been fine if Louis owned the strip club from episode 2.
let’s NOTICE how in episodes 1-3 he was calling her gabriella but the more we see how devastated he is whenever she touches him sexually the more we can see he just wants her to be his MOTHER. here the whole ‘it’s different for vampires’ copium he was selling falls apart
This is why I'm actually glad they're making Gabi very evil. Once you put the abuse/grooming that she was doing in the book onscreen, it's difficult (as it should be) to find a character like that nurturing and redeemable.
