I love how the conversation between louis and claudia where she tells him she would’ve probably had a better life if she’d married a man and had kids instead of being turned feels like it’s being riffed on when they bring daniel into the picture. daniel telling louis he can be his claudia in 2x05… the implication that he hopes to eventually achieve an ideal heterosexual relationship because it’s the safe and familiar thing, just like claudia fantasising that her life as a human woman in new orleans would’ve been kinder although race riots caused her death… and then we have claudia finally finding happiness when she allows herself to be honest about her desires - but daniel never really comes out of the closet. and he actually doesn’t fulfil the fantasy of heterosexual happiness that he’s constructed by staying in the closet either. and he also destroys his relationships with his wives and fails his daughters.

OP tags: #I love how armand tears apart daniel’s construction of heterosexual bliss. and then wipes the memory. net zero gain. #and louis not only has to deal with his own complicated relationship w/ his sexuality but also has to help his daughter and vampire son #that is to say. #daniel is armand’s baby and daniel’s louis’ baby. he’s literally their boy. AND a child of divorce.
