She had a way of cutting me off when I spoke to her, and mingled with my love was a powerful resentment of her. All my life I'd watched her read her Italian books and scribble letters to people...yet she had no patience even to teach me or my brothers the alphabet...I was twenty and I couldn't read or write more than a few prayers and my name. I hated the sight of her books; I hated her absorption in them. And in some vague way, I hated the fact that only extreme pain in me could ever wring from her the slightest warmth or interest. Yet she'd been my savior. And there was no one but her. And I was tired of being alone..."

Re-reading The Vampire Lestat, it struck me that Lestat managed to recreate his childhood in Auvergne with Louis at 1132 Rue Royale.

He also found a partner who completely embodies his mother and triggers him in the same way. Gabrielle de Lioncourt was a very unhappy person who would escape her circumstances by reading, and she would spend all day doing this while neglecting Lestat when he was only a child.

Louis shares this reading habit with Gabrielle (as well as the ability to ignore his child while the other father torments her. "Come in the great hall and play chess with your father.").

I want to see these flashback scenes recreated in season 3 so badly.

If you really think about it the core problem with loustat is that they’re basically mommy issues x mommy issues

Is it far-fetched to say that I think Louis knows Armand is lying? 'Cause it's so fucking unbelievable that I don't even know where to begin with, but anyways, let's just try it: Is it possible that Louis really asked to have his memories erased?! Yes, Louis wasn't in his right mind and (speaking as a former suicidal) the shame that you get after a failed attempt is unbearable, specially if you're not in therapy (like Louis. he should really try it, though). But the tampering is the thing, the repeated words like he's been through sessions of hypnosis are so creepy. And the fact that it paints Armand in a positive light, as well, 'cause now "look, he saved Daniel's life and Louis from himself! he's such a good husband, so much better than Lestat!" And I think that this isn't the only time his memories were messed with. Like in the first season's finale, in this season, Daniel is gonna trigger Louis' memories of the trial and the extent of Armand's involvement in it, that's how they're gonna break up. But I'm getting ahead of myself here. As I was saying, I think that, even if it's deep down, Louis knows Armand is lying, but he pretends to believe him, because Louis can't bear to be alone. He is delulu, we know that, but just like when Lestat was cheating and lying again and Claudia asked what he was going to do about it, he does nothing, because "what's the point?". My guess is that a part of him thinks he deserves it ("the only way you know how to love", Dreamstat said. "He craves chaos", like Jacob rightfully pointed out), maybe it's internalised homophobia, maybe it's cause of his mother or because of his father (or most likely all of that, cause they're connected). Something that I've always noticed, he went on and on about his mother and his siblings, but he never really opened up about his father (it's very little information we have about him, hell! We don't even know his name!) and that makes me wonder, because Louis is an avoidant. To summarize it: i think it's daddy issues.

i can’t believe the lack of fem!lestat content in this fandom… lestat and claudia are just too mother-daughter core for this blatant neglect of she/her lestat canon

[winepresswrath]

I do love it when Lestat attempts little Claudia do-overs like I cannot see Rose and Mona except through that lens and for this reason I am desperate to see them in the AMC show. Lestat will forget that Mona exists when she leaves his sight line or at least choose not to think about her on purpose but she IS a Claudia defender and explicitly connects their situations and I love that.

I do love Armand's displays of servitude because it takes into account the abusive justification of "I'm the victim because of how much I love you. I'd do anything for you, therefore it's you who has power over me." Lestat did that a little bit but Armand is full throttle.

[ortofosforico]

When Louis heard Lestat's experience with the monastery and his father, and went "gj for leaving it all behind", as if that was the only thing.

Bitches (Lestat) be like: I'm good at communication

Bitch, you wanna tell Louis about your "old violinist friend"?

How about why you love italian theater so much? Mhhh? Feel like sharing ANYTHING about the second time around your father and brothers took everything you loved from you and dumped you back in the house?

Wanna tell your cher why you wanted to go to Italy so much? Why Rome? (I'm surprised he didn't say Naples too)

Ever considered talking about Arman?

Ever considered talking about Gabrielle?

Ever mentioned your incredibly huge mommy issues?

How about why you hate books? (although it's not showing in the serie, probably Louis doesn't hate this part of him so much anymore).

Also, cats and rats are fine, but I doubt he'd let Louis kill a dog. Not without the appropriate amount of drama.

And (I love this) he's not as attached to money as he was in the book/movie (might still be Louis' storytelling)

[defensivelee]

i can write cock and balls all over my fic any day but i feel so embarrassed writing 'breasts.' like why isnt there a banger word that you can use in fiction for that. that shit sounds too anatomical

Louis is a hardworking, dedicated, loving single mum with no interest other than making his son happy, and who thinks that love will never knock on his door again.

Harry is a lone man, successful in his field, and thinks he has his life together and all figured out.

Wrong meets clueless, lives get turned upside down in the best way possible with the help of a cute and curious little boy, who just wants to learn more and more.

''what? I can't hear you *writing fanfic of Claudia addressing loustat as daddy and papa*

[milf-louis]

Five fav looks this year, please!

Me anonymously causing everyone excruciating pain asking them to only pick 5 pictures of Louis this year not expecting someone to ask me to do the same thing- well how the tables have turned 🫠

It goes without saying that every single picture from the alt press and dork mag photoshoot and also all the photos from signings are also included here but they’re invisible bc I simply can’t pick and choose from them they’re all perfect! I also cheated and picked more than 5 but in this case the more cheating the better hehe
