o day and night, but this is wondrous strange

it’s interesting bc covert incest is such a huge part of this show every season but this season is IMMEDIATELY hitting us with lestat and his mother’s incest so it’s like. lestat saying the train scene didn’t happen and louis (seemingly informed by claudia but not prompted by a diary entry iirc) saying it did is fascinating bc it’s like. lestat being a victim of lifelong abuse potentially not even registering that the way he’s threatening claudia IS sexual and IS laden with rape threats bc this is the way he has always engaged with gabriella (including when he was victimized as a child) vs claudia and louis having the clarity to clock what’s actually happening in that moment
