If you think they went overboard with Gabriella just remember there's a tik tok with thousands of likes talking about how Lestat is a worse parent than her.
lestat and louis both killing newlywed grooms in the same episode, showing a contrast in the reason behind their killing. one kill mindless, driven by hunger and pleasure, the other full of intent, driven by revenge
#TVLspoilers also Gabi's nosey made a joke about Lestat drinking blood from Armand and the rest of the coven. She would be reeling if he was fucking them.
#tvlspoilers#tvltoronto no, Lestat doesnβt talk about his own r*pe to appear redeemable in his abuse of Claudia in the eyes of the audience (the singular person that ends up with the recordings) this is a tv show about fictional characters having themes, parallels and plots
#tvlspoilers also i think the abducting, having the coven suck his blood and Lestat having then to reveal his nature didnt do great for Nicki's mental health so yes Armand is somewhat of a more humane figure but hes not blameless in Nicki's faith even without some fuckery
#tvlspoilers#tvltoronto love love Gabi and Aramand's presence diring the hand scene thats how it felt to read the book and they were just there the whole time just silently watching
#tvlspoilers#tvltoronto Nicki's muse enjoying itself hearing the loneliness while the Magnus' muse and real Gabriella leave. Dont make that face now Gabi
when you rly think abt it louis and lestat werenβt together for 77 years and louis was literally with a whole other person during that timeβ¦so the fact that lestat was so angry abt Lemuel rly does put into perspective how well those couple of years between the seasons were π
