He made me breathe funny.

Did none of the other Du Lacs know about this? Was he told not to tell anyone? Or, worse, did his parents know and he was still told not to tell anyone to uphold the illusion of an upstanding family? Does this have any bearing on why he used to be so reserved and tight lipped about his vulnerabilities? Does this add another layer as to why he used to recoil from his own sexuality, beyond the political landscape and his religious upbringing?

Does this play a role in his desperation to be seen as a good son and good brother and overall good family man, after being a victim of incest? And getting paid for it? What effect did this have on the way he views profit and exploitation? On the way he views himself? On the way he bases so much of his identity & self worth on his ties to other people?

Screaming from the rooftops that Louis was paid to be sexually abused by a family member! Was this a single event? Did this happen several times? How old was he??

What if you were a bright young reporter with a point of view back in the 70s, except wait, NO YOU WEREN'T, you were a HOT JUNKIE IMBECILE, and then some crazy dude who thinks is a VAMPIRE cornered you at the gay bar, but he doesn't want to fuck, he wants you to interview him, and apparently he's ACTUALLY a vampire, and you do the interview, but then he ATTACKS you, and it all goes to SHIT, and his insane hot boyfriend is jealous, so he TORTURES you for an entire week, and you're such a FREAK that you get a BONER out of it, and then everything is a blur, and then BAM, you're in your 70s and you're SICK and DYING, and the first vampire wants to REDO the interview, and you get a crush on his hot young assistant, and then you discover you were BRAINWASHED, and the assistant turns out to be the one who tortured you back in the 70s, and you get a boner AGAIN, and then you remember that he's THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE with whom you spent a good TEN YEARS with, and he TURNS YOU INTO A VAMPIRE, and then DISAPPEARS, and then you start STALKING each other all around the globe, and you want him BACK, and you want to do a documentary with a vampire ROCKSTAR who thinks you're ANNOYING, THEN WHAT

it’s okay everything is fine. I’m so happy

The seance scene triple BS combo (from TVL After Dark):

Actors having to read the scene multiple times just to understand was was going on on a basic level

Louis and Lestat being forced to find humour in their daughter/sister's unending torment
