oh don't you know lestat is above racism because he's not human. he's a vampire. louis cannot transcend racism via vampirism but lestat has.

thank you for those tags. i've always been of the opinion that the racist violence that lestat couldn't take out on louis he did on claudia.

calling her names that are basically racist dog whistles. and obviously the one you just gave which is an example of lestat knowing his place in society as a white man and using it against a black girl.

IM YELLING!! Its so so weird. like ppl want to say he doesn’t actively lean into the racism but what of only bringing home white soldiers?? what of killing miss lily and keeping annie???? what of fooling around with her WHERE EVERYONE CAN SEE bc he KNOWS he can. BC SHES WHITE and staring louis down while he does it knowing they have to be more discreet. please he absolutely plays the fool. just like he said he can in ep 3.

and when its claudia he does push limits he doesn’t with louis. there’s an anger about her brilliance and i can’t ignore the fact that black girls know that all to well on top of what you’re saying and my tags.

#mw asks #lestat de lioncourt #sometimes i read into that fuller figure line. but i know its more about age and maturity #but the fact that in the same conversation claudia points out annie’s no nothing ass #and so i think about whether its also about the fact that shes black and she won’t ever reach the fuller figure black women are typically #known for #but idk i could just be reading too much into that. which is why i didnt put it in my rewatch thoughts #it’ll live on as a hairbrained thought in my tags
