#I usually don't tag my Marius hate for example out of fandom etiquette but in this case I'm tagging him because it's valid for me

No offense, but how do you feel about Louis? I see you talk about several characters, but I don't see mentions of him. Do you hate him? Which it's okay if you do, I'm just asking out of curiosity, really.

Not taken! So, I ABSOLUTELY love show Louis, he's one of my favorite characters EVER, on any media I've seen. Period. I give a lot of credits to Rolin and EVEN MORE TO JACOB ANDERSON, the work he does is simply phenomenal and gets better every episode as the finest wine.

On the other hand, book Louis, I just feel very neutral about him. With a lot of characters on the chronicles, I need to ignore some stuff to sympathize with them, but while I'm able to love Armand, Lestat, Petronia etc, Louis doesn't have a lot of effect on me. I understand he is someone you should care about and objectively I root for him, because he is one of the biggest characters, but I'm indifferent? While I'm able to be devastated with Armand and Lestat, cry with laughter with Pandora (specially when she's with Flavius), be intrigued and curious about Petronia and wishing I'd learned more about them... For better or for worse, I don't have any major feelings about him. I don't love him and I don't hate him. At least not right now, but I'm early into Blood Communion and still have Interview With the Vampire to go. There's still time for him to grow on me. For example, Pandora and Maharet grew so much to the point of being favorites of mine. We'll see.

I talk about him sometimes (specially his show counterpart), but for the past months I've ended up talking more about everybody else because I've been COMMITTED to reading the books. I decided to do so because I wanted to understand the fandom discourse and have my own opinions and conclusions, since I see a lot of conflicting, contradictory, paradoxical and overall confusing comments and I had to see it for myself. And I'm glad I have, because I've changed my mind about a LOT of stuff. It's sort of how I didn't tweet that much about Fake Rashid, but fell in love with Armand on season 2 (ALL five are tied as my faves on the show and on my top characters of all time, btw). Anyway, once I'm done with the chronicles, I'll watch the show again and write a lot about my thoughts and feelings about this universe, including Louis. Don't worry! :)
