Le Petit Erik

It was.

The lyrics to that song are quite stinging. Remember when Louis said Lestat was "a lot"? But Lestat took it as a slam on his entire being?

Yeah.

Lestat sees his powerful, all-consuming emotions as a defect. He's faulting himself for feeling. He blames his feelings for hurting his loved ones.

But at the same time, he's bitterly hurt that he does feel. He's bitterly hurt that Louis seemingly doesn't feel for him.

"Why is Louis trying to hurt me?"

Maybe if he didn't love Louis. Maybe if he didn't care. Maybe, maybe, maybe.

Louis isn't sympathetic to humans. At all.

Louis is vicious. Louis is ruthless. Louis does not care.

Daniel: I sometimes feel Armand, like there is no one else in the world but us..

*Louis who has spent 70+ years actively hallucinating Lestat*

Louis: Wow so weird Daniel :/

His response: "No, it's my name now."

I went to the pharmacist yesterday, his nametag is my deadname. He informed me he's immigrating and in the process he's changed his first name to my deadname to have an English sounding name. That's why he's now able to get a reprint of his nametag to be my deadname. And repeated, with the intense seriousness of someone who is going to die on this hill: "It's mine now. Not yours. I'm taking." His tone indicated that decision is final.
