I've been traveling today for almost four hours, and I always put my music on shuffle, but I keep coming back to this one. I've listened to it maybe nine times already today, and I'm still not tired of it.

And those last 40 seconds are still pure crack. Utter serotonin. Some of the greatest 40 seconds I've ever heard in my life.

Seriously. WHY?! IS?! IT?! SO?! GOOD?! 😭🙌🏽💗

Sometimes I rewatch Episode 5 just for him.

Because I love him and miss him. ♥️

Because of the power and the leverage that comes with owning it.

Other vampires want Lestat's blood because it's a direct line to Akasha. It's a very sought-after prize of strength and power in the vampire world.

Meanwhile, Louis has access to it anytime he wants. *ahem*

I thought that was very apparent when he was recording the fact that he wanted to get Gabrielle situated And grant one last request for her, and also get closure for Claudia for Louis during Season 6. It was obvious he intended to get out of there

He wasn't suicidal at that point. He wanted Gabriella to fuck off because he had Louis back in his life.

He wanted the closure for Louis because he loves Louis and doesn't want him suffering.

I’m also very curious about the blood in that auctioned box. To me, it was one more proof it was meant for Louis, considering his love for it. At the end of the day, I think it is the blood Armand and Louis are after, not so much the records…what’s your theory on this? Thanks!

I don't think Lestat solely arranged the auction. I believe Raglan influenced him to do so (he's calling Raglan a friend at the time of the recordings), and I think the blood being sold is the trap arranged by Louis and Lestat to lure Raglan out so they can get Lestat's body back.

And like I said here, Louis is the only being he cares about. He wants his story told, yes, but the recordings being for Louis is the heart. If he's self-isolating because he blames himself for hurting Louis, he wouldn't deliver them directly to Louis, because he'd think that Louis hates him now.

He told about what Louis was doing in the book, and that was for Louis, too.

They're permanent injuries if the vampiric appendages were destroyed. That is, in theory.

In the books, Lestat loses his eye during Memnoch, but his own vampiric eyeball is returned to him fully in-tact and is able to be fixed.

Lestat chops off Rhosh's arm, but it's able to be reattached, because the vampiric limb wasn't destroyed.

If Louis' leg or Armand's eye were destroyed, the only way to fix those injuries is like what Fareed did for Flavius in the books in which he made Flavius a vampiric leg, because Flavius lost his leg while he was still human. Fareed also made new vampiric eyes for Maharet, because she lost her eyes to Akasha while she was still human. He made new vampiric eyes for Thorne, too, after Thorne gave his eyes to Maharet as penance for killing Santino.

So yes, the injuries can be technically fixed.

Interesting!

I really don't feel like it could be for anybody else but Louis 🤔

I love that because I really miss the parts where Lestat was doing it to tell Louis his story and also to protect him with the rock star persona

Part of it was Daniel, yes, but it was also coming from a version of Louis that was different than the book version of Louis.

My goodbye letter for Louis theory is basically I think Lestat will be suicidal after Akasha. I think he'll blame himself for Louis losing his leg, and I think he'll self-isolate due to the power-up that will happen with Akasha's blood. He'll record The Failures (for Louis), and then he'll want to end himself so that he can't hurt Louis anymore — the drop, his leg, the post-Akasha power-up in the blood. The drop happened because of the blood, and I do believe Lestat will be terrified something like that could happen again given he'll be 100x more powerful than even the drop in the Akasha aftermath. It stems directly from the book canon in which Lestat remarks that he's scared of his strength, hates his marble skin against Louis' warmer, softer flesh, and that he could accidentally crush Louis with a mere tightening of his fingers around Louis' face.

And Louis tracked down the de Lioncourt descendent because of the blood. He's obsessed with Lestat. He's consumed with Lestat. He loves Lestat, and he craves his blood. It ties directly in with the incest and Louis loving Lestat's blood and wanting Lestat's blood and not seeing Lestat (or his blood) as anything tainted or damaged.

Oh my! How do I choose?!

I really love the natural waves —

(This may or may not be the wallpaper on my work computer. *ahem* 😌💗)

Also the blowout —

(I fell out of my chair when he strutted up looking like this. Oh dear lord! 🔥😩🫠🥵😍)

The little-red-riding-hood look was precious complete with his black nail polish —

The wolfkiller updo with face-framing waves —

And I have a giant weak spot for the half-up/half-down look with the ribbon —
