i am the one, lascivious.

We’re all on different sides of the internet but I would say this is a pretty unpopular take, if anything, JA made Louis more likeable. I’ve seen tons of book readers say they didn’t care for Louis, until now, because he’s so whiny in the books. Also, he’s way better than Brad’s Louis, you could really tell imo that Brad hated that project. Jacob’s Louis is a lot richer because of the changes they’ve made and gets to own his story more. I love Louis and he’s definitely my favorite character, but I also see and understand why Lestat is a lot of people’s favorite as well. I love them both! Lately people have been doom posting about Louis’s popularity within the fandom and the show and I find it all so trivial.

When I read the book, lots found him whiny though most still liked the character (I did, although my favourite was Tarquin Blackwood because the blackwood farm was my first AR novel where I was introduced to Lestat before I went downhill with all the book except for VP lestat; granted from AR characters, I compared them to all vampire characters books or movies I came across, nothing came close as much). Anyway, When I got myself involved in the IU with AR, I got to know Louis. His character still had fans and rooted for him with Lestat ( some wanted Lestat with David including Rice herself but people still wanted Louis) but now looking at the popular view people don't like Louis at all because of Jacob. I mean who doesn't like JA. I mean he's a potatoe bun. Who would hate JA?

Is it because they don't wish for SR to be close to JA?. I was in SPN fantom, I left because of these hates. It isn't a great feeling.

This is such a confusing anon to me. At first you called Louis’ fans “his little fans” so I assumed this will be about how it’s unnecessary to be so defensive of Louis. But then you ended with how some people in fact don’t like Louis because of JA? (I have seen that at all).

I’ve heard many times that Louis is passive and basically nonexistent in a lot of the books. They are changing that in the show and that makes me really happy.

Although I don't think David will exist, I don't want Louis taking over other characters' storylines just to keep him present in the story
