@AliceHRoseWood@chadamceo@EternalTJ1@docedecokoo@fiendformojitos Exactly! I know ppl irl who watched the show and their takeaway was “Lestat isn’t abusive, it was mutual” and they cite that scene as proof, as if Louis lashing out justified Lestat abusing him. “Mutual abuse” is a myth that propagates a lot irl for too.
all ima say is if they redo too much and make Louis and Claudia lying villains just to make lestat a victim I will not be watching this show anymore bc I didn't watch all that graphic black trauma and abuse just for that shit to be fake truly fuck this show if that is the case
imagine finally realizing you’ve found the love of your life and she’s right in front of you but you’re about to lose her so all you can do is try to take all of her in and memorize every little detail, hoping you’ll never forget this version of her who was happy to be with you
