I will only be discussing the parts that I have thoughts about.

Hm the phrasing…

It’s funny how there’s no mention of Nicki or Louis.. as I talked about in this post. This is why I think Rolin is uninterested in Lestat’s queer relationship and we won’t be seeing any on screen any more. He wants the Lestat cool Guy having sex with women show.

Yea they didn’t care for how this would make sense story wise and they only wanted lestat near death sequence and Louis lynching.

To my other point that Rolin has no interest in Loustat… see in this question how he doesn’t mention LOUSTAT at all?!? He doesn’t confirm love of their lives and moves on to talk about AKASHA… he’s uninterested in Loustat and only cares for Lestat’s relationships with women… as seen in TVL with Baby Jenks, Dee, Antoinette and Gabriella.

And don’t get me started on the Loumand of it all…. 77 years of shutting him out?!?

Louis was with Armand to punish himself, Armand and Lestat for Claudia’s death… AND ARMAND GOES ALONG WITH IT. He wasn’t forced!! But Rolin clearly never watched s1-2 or cared for the queer relationships…sigh.

I was surprised Rolin compared Armand and Regina to Louis and Lestat?!?! Is he actually saying Lestat was abusive to Louis or is he saying Lestat used Louis? I… hm… 🤨 caught off guard with this one

Why?! I’m glad this got cut 😭 why would that be important??

Finishing with this one. And I can feel the insecurity bleeding out from him 😭

any time someone is in any kind of crisis or upheaval, offer to feed them. tell them they don't have to choose what it is if they can't make decisions, just ask about allergies and preferences and tell them you're just gonna make food happen at their house.

friend having a baby? delivery gift certificate to order food to the hospital after the kid shows up.

someone's relative passes away? offer to make them dinner.

buddy gets laid off? ask if you can order them lunch.

pal stuck in a depressive episode? offer to drive them to fucking mcdonalds, if that's what they want.

people in crisis are tired and sad and angry and the last thing most of them are doing is thinking about feeding themselves. so if you have the ability or time or money, providing that is always, always a good move.

and they were roommates <3

"louis was asking for it" essentially is the thesis of the series i guess!

Claudia hates him, only pretended to love him bc she just wanted to fuck with him i guess. Armand switched out his photographs just to fuck with him. Lestat is just "loving him how he needs to be loved" which i guess coercion, physical abuse, mental abuse, abuse towards their child, cheating and withholding huge pieces of information is "the way he needed to be loved"

i cant emphasize how insanely backwards and regressive this idea is. that some people just "need" abuse. this is how every single abuser justifies themselves, and im genuinely shocked the show is going this direction.

not to say louis is perfect hes horrible in his own way, but im tired of the consensus being "well if theyre both horrible maybe abuse is ok then :)" no matter how flawed you are, YOU DONT DESERVE ABUSE. PERIOD.

after all the beautiful writing and how well they addressed the abuse narrative in the first season, im so confused as to why they are pivoting to a 2012 tumblr fanfic level storyline about "toxic hot vampires" its so unbelievably flat and cold
