#but like.. idk.

i haven't actually watched the new season yet, but i'm listening to the songs when they come out & i just listened to big bad wolf... why is lestat crashing out SO hard over the interview/book?? like. unless daniel rlyyyyy changed the interview/what louis told him, i don't rlly get why he cares sm. like obviously it would suck to have an ex reveal all your private life details to the public & obviously lestat is a very dramatic & emotional person. but i mean. louis was pretty positive in his depiction of lestat during the interview. i mean at least wayyy more than the og book & the 70s interview. the worst thing louis says about him are true (other than what he said to claudia on the train, and ig daniel maybe didn't include that they had her diaries so it wasn't louis just saying/guessing that lestat said that?). but like. in the song the inaccuracies he seems plagued by are either so mundane or they paint him in a better light. i mean the initials on the breast pocket? (which btw louis never actually claimed was true, it was just louis having imagined that, if daniel wrote it as something def true then that's just on daniel being a shitty writer). like. that made me like you more, dude. it was like. lowk one of the most romantic things (we thought) you did. louis rlyy didn't make him seem like the monster, he seemed to have read the book & seen himself as. like. yeah he was abusive & that's mentioned but. that's true. lestat doesn't seem angry about that bcs its true, can't rlly refute that. like. idk i feel like what they seem to be going for (at least from just listening to the song), it'd have worked better if it was more a reaction to how book!louis describes lestat or how 70s!louis describes lestat. in the dubai interview, he (as daniel even remarks) describes him as the love of his life. just a messy, abusive love of his life. but he describes him with love!!!!
