hate when people try to apply their morals onto the characters of iwtv. They’re all bad. We can joke about “oh poor baby, meow meow” but please don’t let that delude yourself. Yes, all these characters have good in them, but they’re evil.
Everything we’ve learned about Lestat this past season. Louis saying he loves Claudia while repeatedly violating her privacy and agency by reading her diaries and letting others read them. Daniel is an asshole who often makes racist and ableist remarks, and his treatment towards his family and women in general is awful. Even Claudia, who is ultimately the biggest victim of the show, is also evil! She enjoys killing people. She’s manipulated the narrative just like Louis and Lestat. Everyone is evil!!!
That’s what makes them such good characters. They’re complex. They’re hard to understand, but in order to understand them, you can’t hold them to a moral code. It’s not about finding the proof that any of them are more a victim than a villain. They are all both victim AND villain.
