But even though he did present him in that way doesnât change the fact that he still did do a lot of those things to them
So yes he can be presented falsely in the story but still be abusive which is where Louisâ complicated feelings for him came from and is part of the reason why he did present him in that way to begin with
(This isnât Lestat hate I just donât understand why you are trying to take away the abuse he did and since no one in this show is âgoodâ it really doesnât matter that he was abusive at a certain point and I am the first to say I think Louis was also abusive in certain situations so this isnât about making Louis look like the âperfect little innocent victimâ either)
Okay, you know what, I'll bite.
Let me put this a bit heretically - what abuse?
Please give me a list of the abuse you actually mean, as seen in the show, without resorting to some bullshit meta level of certain parts of this fandom.
The drop and fight outside do not count, it came up in the trial, and yes will come up again. For reasons.
The holding Claudia by the neck also does not count, since both Armand and Louis were shown to do it also, but for some reason that is never brought up in these discussions.
The train scene cannot have happened as told, as said ages ago.
The fight before the outside and drop were Louis throwing Lestat around and Lestat letting him. That does not count either.
Neither does the cHeaTiNg that is a left hand right hand tactic employed in the tale to distract from the things Louis did not want to talk about.
So. A list of the abuse you mean, please.
Specific to Lestat, and that we see him do specifically that the other vampires do not do.
