iβm gonna get hate for what iβm about to say and it truly PAINS me as someone who loves the ship but iβm really not feeling loustat so far this season. 5 episodes in and lestat has done nothing but mock and be borderline hateful towards louis at practically every opportunity, even when he came to help with the regina situation he started to complain about louis interrupting him recording the freaking album by asking for his help before backtracking. all of the constant little jabs at formerly romantic lines, mocking louisβ narration with cruel laughter, admitting to leaving him with armand to make him miserable knowing he killed claudia, even his freaking contact name for him is just so callous. the sheer lack of scenes theyβve shared this season has also been ridiculous and itβs gotten to the point that iβve actually caught myself wondering more than once if they are even trying to sell them as the main romance anymore. considering that even though lestat was technically βdeadβ and they werenβt talking in person for a huge portion of season 2, i could still feel the deep love and yearning despite the tragedy and distance between them. iβm very sad to say that i just havenβt had that feeling all much this season.
