4. The working title of the show will be Interview with the Vampire. Yes, let's use the title of one of the most recognizable books. And let's tweak Louis. No one wants to see a slave owner in 2022, that’s dead. Let’s give him some depth and character to Louis. It's the year 1910 in Jim Crow Louisiana. Louis is a Black Creole man running a few brothels on Liberty Street in Storyville when we first meet him, only having this job to keep his family afloat. Lestat, the villain, will be mesmerized from the first moment he sees Louis. And let's get some family around, a brother who is heavily involved in the church and grinds Louis' gears a bit (but he loves him to death), a sister who Louis adores and vice versa (though their relationship gets rocky after a while), and a mother who sees her son as nothing but a provider for the home, the one who she can put all the work on since he’s the oldest. Louis and Lestat meet at one of the white owned brothels and from there, blossoms a beautiful friendship ending with a nightcap right before the death of Louis' brother. Once that happens, everything spirals. Louis is reborn at 33 in a church, Lestat shows his abusive and dismissive nature, Louis brings in Claudia after storyville goes under and she and Lestat bicker and argue all the time, similar to the original source. Things continue to get worse in that household and Louis and Claudia kill Lestat. And all this goes on while Louis is telling this story for the second time to an old journalist, Daniel Molloy, in present-day Dubai. The contrast to 1910s Louis and present day Louis is astounding and there's one servant who seems to know and talk a bit too much. He ends up being Armand.
17. I haven't read anything referenced in the show, but I have read bits and pieces of things those working on the show have used to create this beauty, such as Paris Journal 1944-1965 by Janet Flanner Genet and The Ethnic Avant-Garde: Minority Cultures and World Revolution by Steven Sunwoo Lee.
25. My favorite show canon relationship, so far, is Louis and Jonah. I absolutely hate that we only got them for about ten minutes of an episode. They seem to have so much depth. We know they know each other from their pasts and have had a few fumbles during that time. The chemistry was eletric and they delivered some of the hottest moments in the show. I also want to know every detail of their reunion in Europe. I am excited for Louis and Armand's relationship in season two, even though I know they're going to break my heart.

What's a line, scene, or exchange you've written that made you laugh?
Jonah leans in to place a few chaste kisses on Louis' lips, basking on his husband's presence when he feels a tiny hand punch his shin. He looks down to see Claudia, honey mustard bunched in the corner of her mouth, frowning up at him.
"No kiss papa! That my papa!"
Jonah smiles and leans in for another kiss but is stopped by another punch. The man throws his hands up in surrender and Ciprien pulls her back into his lap to wipe her mouth.
Claudia does NOT play about her papa Louis!

Daniel Hart just confirmed that "give me some face" lyric is a specific reference from the show, a specific dig. Lestat is not over Jonah after all this time lol
Well, yes, I saw, I mean they’re both quite petty like that. (And we haven’t really reached the “petty and in love“ phase yet 😅)
