im 90% sure that the deterioration of lestat and claudia’s relationship can be attributed to him reading her diaries. up until that point (barring charlie because i chalk that up to her trauma and his strict and tactless approach to death and not any underlying malice) he’d been keeping his distance per louis’ request. its only when he was confronted with her thoughts - inked with ungratefulness/hurtful words for both of your guardians - and her actions that led the cops to their sanctuary, was when he washed his hands off of her. and his resentment only calcified into pure hatred when louis pined for her for seven years in spite of everything

#interview with the vampire #iwtv #lestat de lioncourt #louis de pointe du lac #claudia de lioncourt #idk where im going with this but its interesting #it ties with the book canon re merrick and the diaries and louis learning just how much she hated both of them #lestat doesnt understand how louis can love someone who thinks so uncharitably of him who doesnt appreciate the life he has given her #a destitute little girl destined to live a inconsequential little life #look what we gave her #look how she treats us #look how she treats you #his emphasis on /both/ of your guardians always struck me as odd - almost like he expected her to hate him but not louis #and he cant wrap his mind around it because he thinks louis loves and dotes on her to excess #and yet she receives louis' love and louis' patience and louis' favour far more openly than him #like not to make everything about louis but also its all about louis #its almost like lestat is hateful on behalf of louis #i hope they never seek therapy #yaz has thoughts #text
