oh my god im actually going to explode - GEPARDS EMBARRESSED IDLE ANIMATION HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HIM BEING EASILY FLUSTERED .

ITS LITERALLY ABOUT HIS LOVE FOR HIS SISTERS.

everything else we know about him points to him being inCREDIBLY difficult to fluster . That idle animation is about him attempting to support his sisters because it is THEIR SONG hes humming and feeling like he MESSED UP and hes getting EMBARRESSED because ITS LITERALLY HIS SISTERS SONG.

THINK ABOUT IT FOR TWO SECONDS.

Gepard has literally been stated in game to take AGES to respond. Serval says so herself that he can go radio silent on her for MONTHS at a time. And Lynx acts somewhat curt with him , clearly admiring her older sister more and being on more rocky terms with Gepard because of his protective nature . To Gepard it likely feels that supporting Mechanical Fever on field is one of the ONLY WAYS he feels like he can properly support both of his sisters. To mess that up and be unable to get that right is going to both embarress and dishearten him. You can see this in the animation where he clearly cringes before he sighs and shakes it off. While the siblings are close there are still some gaps - where interests and circumstances divide them . Gepards physical unavaliablity has likely left him a little disconnected from his sisters - like how Serval's bottling emotions habit and Lynx's aloofness when dealing with people has likely the same result. All he wants is to support his sisters , and he feels like he messed up in the one way he easily could.

And not to mention if Gepard was easy to fluster or unsettle or get annoyed he would NOT be alive . Not in a brutal war that has laid devestation to your home for longer then youve been alive. Not against unthinking monsters, creatures that only seek rabid destruction. He would have died early on, one of the thousands claimed by the endless winter.

Please - when it comes to understanding characters, idle animations are windows, not gateways. They are often performative , meant to show personality or common habit , not as a personality trait . Read , study , pay attention to dialog and voice direction , to other characters talking about them . That is where you get concrete personality. That is where the truth lies.

never let anyone tell you that trawling through mediocre victorian poetry isn't worth it. we just happened upon an absolute BANGER of a worm poem. go read it or else 🪱🪱🪱

I’m actually kind of amazed how many people do not understand this concept

sketchy but stan probably feels conflicted having them around EVERY summer for fixing-a-dangerous-portal reasons but. strong familial adoration wins every time.

My favourite underrated thing about Louis de Point du Lac is that he truly is the least curious vampire to ever be made and he does not give fuck about vampires despite being one.

Its Claudia who goes to libraries, reads the folklore, tries to learn as much as she can and pushes Lestat for answers about who made him and where the others are. Claudia says Vampire Pride and Louis says hmmm Vampire Tolerance.

And Louis...truly does not care about vampire history,law, culture. He's never even thought to ask. There are vampire laws?...ok...Lestat never cared about them and he's not going to either, lol. He's broken a few and he will continue to do so. Oh you have a coven? he's not gonna join it, he's gonna do his own thing. but good for you good for you.

the 500+ year old Coven Leader, he's gonna call Louis, Maitre, actually.

He has fire powers? thats kinda cool. he'll learn that but only cause it lets him vent his feelings about Lestat.

Lestat and Armand say the name of the vampire queen in front of him and Lestat straight up says, "Louis has no idea who that is" and do you think Louis cares, outside of the fact that for some reason it means he can't kill Lestat? No! Do you think in the 77 years he's been with Armand he ever took 5 minutes to ask a follow up question? No!

Do you think he will care about Akasha in season 3? Doubt it! Outside of her obsession with Lestat, who is the only person left on the planet he seems to be able to filter Caring About This Shit through

He blatantly breaks the 3rd law and publishes a book about being a vampire and when the other vampires get pissed not only does he not apologise he literally sends them his location and says 'you wanna fight? lmao don't miss'

I love him. Daniel Molloy is gonna need to bring his A game because Louis will not be solving a single mystery next season, nor would it even occur to him to try.

I didn’t share this before, but I took this video on night before Belphie was diagnosed with FIP. he’d stopped walking. if I placed him somewhere, he’d just crumple. finally I managed to get this weird, wobbly walk from him with a meat gogurt.

compare this video to the one I posted earlier today, where he’s flinging himself into the air like a frog! I 100% believe he would’ve died that week without the medication, and now he’s thriving. now he gets to be a happy, chaotic kitten. now he gets to grow up.

"man, every trans woman i meet has a shitty bed and small apartment and no money let's make fun of them for that, let's get self congratulatory assfaces in the reblogs saying they'll buy her a blanket, let's all point and laugh at the poor girl who is systemically discriminated against and therefore more likely to end up poor, unemployed, and homeless, isn't that so funny?????"
