a goddess of life, a queen of death.

from the very beginning, louis' trauma has been reduced to "well he was a bad person, too!" as though he needs to be the stereotypical Perfect Victim™. yes, of course louis is a bad person as well, they never shy away from showing us that. that does not, however, remove the truth that he is a victim as well. and to attempt to retcon his experiences or use a cop out statement in order to further hammer home that his abuser is also a victim—something we're never allowed to forget—is textbook antiblack racism. there is something deliberate about how both the in-universe characters and show writers often try and dance around or skirt over the trauma louis has experienced his entire mortal and immortal life. and claiming that you're leaving these things for you audience to interpret is especially sinister given half of them are intent upon demonizing one character over the other at every single turn.

This YouTube video is very good at giving you an overview of Prince but I specifically want to get into there parallells

The cancelled documentary?

This is very out there but the documentary was allegedly blocked from being released because it focused on Prince the man, his life and struggles with family and relationship, and not focusing on Prince the music legend myth.

Is this something we will see from Daniel and Lestat?

Will Daniel’s documentary also never see the light of day or be discovered in Lestat’s music box?
