୨୧ BUT BEING NORMAL HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH US! ୨୧

The bananas thing is that there was a very simple solution to this, and it was for Lestat *to become better* until he was worthy of Louis. There was no need to humble Louis to bring him down to Lestat's level. I've seen a lot of complaints that it didn't feel like Lestat had much agency or much of a character arc this season. THIS WAS THE CHARACTER ARC THAT SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED. It would have solved so many issues with the season- the feeling that the plot is spinning its wheels, the feeling of so much exposition, etc if Lestat had been actively changing the whole time. Him defying Gabriella is a good first step, but if the writers think this and this alone will make him a good partner to Louis, they are once again operating in extremely broken monogamist "love is a formula" land. I keep seeing Sam and Jacob saying "well who would have them other than each other" in interviews. That is not a compelling basis for a romance! That is not a connection I want to watch! I want to watch them fall in love because they like each other, and make an effort to be better for each other because they love each other. Loustat has this foundation already. They didn't need to reinvent the wheel. I don't understand why the writers forget how normal human emotion works in TVL.
