A lil headcanon of mine is that Lestat was so thrown off after reuniting with Louis after all those years because he literally looked like the Louisiana Rat King in that broken down shack and was so fucking embarrassed about it

The next time Loustat kiss, it's going to be insane. Probably the most insane kiss on the show. Has everyone come to terms with this? Is everyone mentally preparing themselves?
They are two vampires who are madly in love and who are astronomically deranged about each other and they have just spent almost 80 years apart. I don't think we are ready for the nuclear levels of passion and obsession and YEARNING we are going to witness between them going forward. It might change television as we know it, it's going to be that insane.

I think the flying book shelf IS meant to signify that Armand withholds information from Louis (explicitly canon in the show) and is a possessive control freak (explicitly canon in the show). Does it literally mean that he does not allow Louis to read books? Of course fucking not, Louis has a stack of books next to him in their bedroom. He probably can ask him to bring the damn books down if he wants to. Not everything is meant to be a plot point, there’s symbolism, there’s visuals storytelling, metaphors. And loumanders AND loustaters are making too much of a deal out of it

i'm sure someone else can put it more coherently, but to me one of the fantasies afforded by vampire romance is the idea that you have forever to fix or develop something that otherwise would be time-bound in a lifetime for mortals.
in the show, for instance, louis' acceptance of his vampirism is tied with his self-identity; for better or worse: his guilt over it his repressed homosexuality and his catholic morality, even his obtuseness about his tendency for casual cruelty or to ignore other people's suffering; his love for lestat which he couldn't express. some of these were the reason for loustat's infighting--lestat viewing louis' abject horror as a rejection of him. it took a lifetime for him to get to the point where he is able to accept that it is a gift, that he is able and willing to be honest in the nights ahead of him. this rejects the abject notion that they are unchangeable beings, bound forever in the same cycle. it is honestly the most human thing--to live to try and try again just to be a better version of yourself, but in a supernatural way that they'll be doing it forever. i think people's view on this is limited only by their personal view of human beings' potential to change and evolve.
i'm sure you know season 3 is adapting the vampire lestat, which doesn't reject louis' version of events but recontextualizes it. in the book, he cries when he reads louis' book, and in the show would probably read how he abused his partner and daughter in plain text. in the show, he has already acknowledged how his actions are unforgivable and attempts to take a sliver of accountability; his suffering and grief for 70+ years is not in and of themselves change, atonement and redemption but definitely something (and he's most definitely going to be haunted by claudia next season). especially for a revolutionary type of character who enters spaces to change old ways of living. and we'll get future seasons to see if it evolves to something more.
he also says "And why should I bother to tell of the times he came to me in wretched anxiety, begging me to never leave him, of the times we talked together, acted Shakespeare together for Claudia's amusement, or went arm in arm to hunt the riverfront taverns or to waltz with the dark-skinned beauties of the celebrated quadroon balls?" he speaks of louis' version as contradictory and as having terrible misunderstandings but accepts it just for the simple fact that louis believes it. isn't there also value there, in correcting these misunderstandings? just like how louis could correct how never told lestat he loved him (most probably rooted in fearing losing people he loves, or in keeping his pride because of their tilted power dynamics) now that he has become more self-assured and empowered, isn't it exciting to see him get corrected in his belief, what we already know, that louis loves him above all?
Genuinely good faith question, I promise - why do show viewers ship Loustat after everything? Season 1 left me so haunted by their seeming abuser vs victim dynamic, especially with Lestat threatening Claudia to stay. I guess I'm just afraid that after the season 2 end they'd just fall back into that dynamic again.

I have just learned Claudia wasn't the only Loustat ''baby'' ?? I'm not sure if I want to know more or not ?
I have only read the first book,maybe i am wrong but during my reading i have never felt the daughter/fathers bond between Louis/Lestat and Claudia,whereas in the series they clearly make the distinction ''our daughter'' ''burned your daughter alive''. We can all agree that show!Claudia is their daughter,no matter her age, she remains their daughter right?
Is it a simplification of the show or do you also consider that book!Claudia is their daughter?
Would you also consider all Lestat's fledglings like his children? How do we make the distinction and in this case why Louis isn't his son? Or he is?... I promise i' m not trolling it's for my own comprehension of the show's dynamic between makers/fledglings (I swear it became my obsession recently i would devour anything about this,a podcast,videos,really long posts,any recommendations?).
Everytimes i think i understood everything about the bond there is something else to confuse me.
At first Louis was so sure about the vampire bond then Louis and Madeline happens and she can feel him but Louis doesn't have the same bond with her as he has with Lestat😵‍💫 then we will have Armand and Daniel another big case of confusion.
Sorry if everything i'm saying is confusing.
Is there parts in the books where Anne explain everything in details about the makers/fledglings? I know it's probably different on the show but I'll take it?
Thank you!
Hey!
I guess... the distinction is simply the personal intent for the turning.
Louis and Lestat have a bond that surpasses their actual maker-fledgling bond, because they share a heart. That is something that will become clearer as the show goes on. It's not an "automatic" bond that is the same between makers and fledglings. Lestat made Louis as his companion... not as a child.
For example, Lestat turns from and for love: Gabrielle, Nicolas, Louis, Claudia, Antoine(tte), David, Mona, Rose, Alain.
Not all of these are his "children", though all are his fledglings. Only Claudia and Rose are his children, even though when Rose is turned she is grown up (both Lestat and Louis are involved in her upbringing, and have obviously learned not to interfere too much until she was grown).
Yes, I do consider Claudia their daughter, Lestat speaks of her as such in the upcoming books as well, and the show will go there next season I bet. Remember, IWTV (both book and show) give us a distorted image of Lestat, for reasons that will become clearer in the upcoming books/seasons.
Anne doesn't really sit down to explain the bond, no, and she changes the lore a lot, too.
But ultimately it comes down to intent, as said.
Mona for example. Lestat turns her for Quinn, so she and Quinn will not have that maker-fledgling "silence" between them. But she is neither a child to Lestat, nor a lover, though she is his fledgling.
Louis probably realizes the difference in the bond he has with Lestat precisely when he turns Madeleine.
And Armand's bond to Daniel is forged by desperation and helpless and even defiant love. Theirs is much closer to what Louis and Lestat share.
Ultimately the cues are the emotions connected to the turning, imho.
Claudia was their daughter because they saw her as such. Rose will be their daughter (at least in the books), because they see her as such, too.

IWTV S2 cut scenes / things I keep wondering about (while patiently waiting for news on S3 production)*
1. THE FIRE
The first episode? Louis and Claudia standing in front of what? The castle? Random town? Did I miss it somewhere? (x)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
2. PARK GUYS
How different was the scene originally planned from what ended up in the show?
It's the only one that I know of that was reshot. They filmed it in Kinsky garden on June 2 (pic on the right), then they returned to the same location on October 12, at a time when they were otherwise already shooting scenes for episode 8. One day later, on October 13, they shot part of this same scene in a completely different location in Průhonice Park (pic on the left). I guess they weren't happy with what they shot in June?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
3. THE NICKISTAT KISS
Not a proper cut scene, more like a different take.
Tumblr media
4. THE EXTRAVAGANT PARTY
Tumblr media Tumblr media
For Cafe Extravagans, they were looking for men and women who wouldn't mind playing in opposite costumes. Men dressed as women and women dressed as men. The casting agency was also looking for a real gay couple for the same date.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
5. THE REUNION
The Loustat reunion scene was shot in a studio in Prague, but they also change the exterior of a house in NOLA. However, they didn't end up using the shot in the show. @lynneville2
Tumblr media Tumblr media
6. THE VAMPIRE DANIEL
Thanks to the BTS episode, we know that Daniel's reveal was originally much more dramatic.
Tumblr media
.
.
.
*From what I see it doesn't look like they will be in Prague for S3. At least not this year. Probably the next? I'll have it confirmed around November 10, but by then we'll most likely know more from other sources.

Ok I haven't seen anyone else talking about this yet, but I'm going insane about it so now it's going to be your problem. The question on everyone's mind during IWTV s1 is, "Ok but did you eat the baby, Louis?" and I'm here to tell you that I had an epiphany and I have concluded....
Yes, Louis did eat that baby. Because of Mardi Gras.
I know that sounds crazy, hear me out.
(Contains spoilers for the end of the book series)
First, for those of you who are unfamiliar, one of the most delicious traditions of New Orleans Mardi Gras is the king cake, which is a ring-shaped pastry of sugary, buttery death covered in purple, green, and gold sprinkles. (If you can get your mouth on a good one, it's divine. Mediocre ones are deeply disappointing. This is a case where quality matters. ...I am getting off topic.) Inside the king cake, according to tradition, is hidden a little plastic baby. Whoever gets the slice that has the baby in it is proclaimed the king of that particular Mardi Gras party and is granted certain solemn responsibilities, such as buying the king cake next year. It's not a very large plastic baby (about the size of maybe two jellybeans), so sometimes you find it in your mouth rather than on your plate. So: You eat the baby, you're the king.
Got it? Great.
Episode 1x07 shows us Lestat Very Definitely Eating That (Fake (Plastic??)) Baby, while being King of Mardi Gras, on the Krewe of Raj (which is probably meant to refer to the real-life Krewe of Rex. Rex and Raj both mean king). This is a wild sort of thing to do for no reason (whether Doylist or Watsonian), but New Orleans residents would probably parse this as a gruesome and tasteless perversion of the concept around the king cake tradition. Gruesome and tasteless perversions of ideas are exactly Lestat's type of humor. He knows what he's doing: He's making a Weird Statement about the legitimacy of his "reign".
Still with me? Ok. Here we go, last step.
The penultimate and antepenultimate books of the series are Prince Lestat and Prince Lestat and the Realms of Atlantis, in which Lestat is Democratically Elected (read: strongarmed/browbeaten/guilt-tripped by a jury of his peers) prince of the vampires. He mopes around about this because he doesn't want the job, but ultimately pulls himself together and makes big wet puppy eyes at Louis like, "plz plz plz mon cher plz come be royal consort, i literally cannot cope with this situation unless I have you with me" until Louis agrees to come be royal consort.
Now, the strangely intense and INTENTIONAL ambiguity of "did Louis eat the baby?" in 1x02 -- that is, the way that there is conspicuously no answer as to whether he did or not -- could just be a cool opportunity to make us think about vampires doing shocking, irredeemable things, such as the consumption of infants. But in parallel with 1x07 and the fact that this is New Orleans and Lestat's baby-eating incident was explicitly rooted in Mardi Gras traditions... it strikes me as foreshadowing. It strikes me as a clever little wink of secret jokes by the Unreliable Narration Show which has already established that it loves playing games with the audience and intentionally leaving little hints that pay off later in a BIG way.
It's New Orleans. It's Mardi Gras. The king eats the baby, and Loustat's destined endgame is Royal Power Couple.
Louis ate the baby. One hundo percent, he ate that baby. Five bucks says we find out the truth right around the time Lestat is crying and wailing and begging Louis to run the vampire government with him.
Season 7 when????

Normally I'm a multi shipper but for some reason on IWTV there is only Loustat and Armand/Daniel for me. Cause for some reason I don't ship Armand with either Louis or Lestat at all. I know in the next season we'll probably see other lovers of Lestat but I really want to see him with Louis more.

2x8 theory after watching loustat hug scene and S3 loustat
I don't think Lestat and Louis stayed together . Louis whisperer something to him and hugged him again . In my opinion Louis took him to a safer place in new Orleans maybe another house . Left him some clothes and they agreed on separating but not forever . I think by writing his book he put himself / Daniel / Armand and more importantly Lestat in a big danger , so by getting all of the attention on himself he once more wants Lestat to save him like he did in Paris but he also wants to protect Lestat .
And honestly it would be a lovely change if Lestat doesn't bury himself again for years because the reunion was in 2022 probably and the book published in 2023 or 2024 . So next year in S3 it has to be just short time jump and Lestat on a tour without being buried . In my opinion Lestat will get stronger will get stronger and become a singer now that he knows Louis is alive and accepted his vamparism but once he read Louis's book he'll probably prefers to stay away from Louis so that Louis come and finds him and choose him again . But at the same time Lestat will try to save Louis again because he will hear others wanting to attack Louis too and he will bring all the attentions to himself instead of Louis by telling his own story and doing the concert .
The potential of the story wouldn't change the only thing that changes from the book is how long Lestat sleeps under the ground . And I think on the show he won't need to because Louis somehow takes care of him even from a far .

Here are my ramblings regarding the Interview With The Vampire Season 2 finale
This will be broken down into 3 sections:
Overall episode plot thoughts, character thoughts, and season 3 setup.
The way the episode was set up was fantastic. I went into it thinking I’d know what to expect. Paris Louis destroying the coven, Daniel uncovering Armand’s plotting, Loustat reunion.
I couldn’t be happier with how it all unfolded. The parallels with Louis and Paul, the fight between him and Santiago, Lestat in Magnus’ tower. I was absolutely enthralled with everything in Paris- it was so exciting.
When I tell you my palms were clammy when we go back to Dubai? I was a little confused (due to my excitement), did Daniel bring up those questions or were those planted by the Talamasca? I know the Talamasca gave him the real script but I was hoping Daniel did the extra legwork. This actually made me very excited for the Talamasca show (good job, AMC and IWTV writers) because of Rashid, RJ, and freaking Sam!
I really want to know what happened after Louis left Dubai with Armand and Daniel, but I’ll save those thoughts for later.
The NOLA reunion was everything I could have hoped for. I audibly laughed at Louis’ driver because it reminded me of my NOLA trip in 2023- the people of New Orleans are so charismatic and talkative! And the night tour? I didn’t attend one but I thought it was adorable seeing Louis attend one.
The actual Lestat/Louis reunion was fantastic. The young vampire taking him rats like in the book? Siri? Sam’s acting? I was taken aback with how different Lestat was and I think that was a peek at the “real” Lestat. A little more subtle with his movements, still charming, and brutally honest. This was the only part in the episode that made me cry, specifically when they talked about Claudia. Grief wasn’t something I had to face ‘til last year so I found my brain comparing the two.
The rest of the episode is a blur and I could probably make a whole post regarding that ending. I’m really curious what other DM fans thought… but I’ll say this one thing:
Louis saying Armand turned Daniel out of spite was a punch to the stomach. I actually yelled “Out of spite??” At my tv. Louis’ words, yes, but that paired with Daniel’s “asshole” comments on Armand made me collapse. I need to know more… and am praying those are just Louis’ words, nothing more, and there’s a lot more to the story.
Characters-
Louis: Oh Louis! My gosh, I was hurting for him real bad. Like I said, the Paul correlations were aplenty. The mad ramblings in the mausoleum, the actual acting on Jacob’s part (makes me wonder if he went back to 1x01 and copied Paul), the imaginings. I love how the episode ended with Louis calling for all those vampires to come to him because I totally (think I) know where the writers are going. Lestat’s gonna have that to have that performance ready earlier than expected!
Lestat: Ugh, I could not get enough of him this episode. Definitely Sam’s best episode (for me). The facial acting in Magnus’ tower, Louis pointing out the shackles, etc. Can’t wait for that to be revisited in season 3 both in the 18th century and 40s Paris. Again I really thought Sam’s acting in NOLA was a standout. The subtle changes to his character were so in my face (in the best way). Can’t wait for next season!
Armand: So… lot’s of thoughts. It was very interesting that they changed it that he had intentions of killing Louis. Does it make sense? Technically speaking, yes. I understand the reasoning that he wasn’t going to throw away a coven for someone whose heart was with another. All that being said… how does the viewer, who is already villainizing Armand, come out of this just not hating him completely? Killing his daughter and fledgling AND wanting to kill him?
Look, I know we the book readers have Anne’s writing telling us how she felt- she never saw these vampires as villains. I mean everyone says it, but it does kind of hurt seeing not one but two storylines regarding Armand changed so drastically. But I’ll let the tale seduce me, sorry. (Really, I will!)
Armand wanted and saved Louis out of selfish reasons. Armand turned Daniel out of love. Both changed, from our perspective. But the turning of Daniel is still up in the air, all we have is Louis’ words “out of spite”- oof.
Daniel: Like I said before in the plot analysis, I’m really hoping Daniel did a lot of the heavy lifting when it came to Armand’s plotting because he’s a Pulitzer Prize winner! Anyway, the ending… what to say?
I’ll admit it- I was wrong. So many people guessed it would happen but I didn’t think it made any sense. And can I say it? It didn’t make any sense. Technically speaking, the reveal was fantastic! But otherwise I just can’t help but think it was all a bit too much. “Out of spite” keeps ringing in my head in the worst way. I know they were Louis’ words, I know, but if they change this one thing about Armand I might scream. I want to let the tale seduce me but with them having changed what happened in Paris, it scares me to think of what they might have changed with Armand and Daniel.
So let me take the “tale seducing” out of here for a second, please.
Armand, after 500 years, turning someone out of spite is character assassination. I’m sorry!!! And you know what? Lemme call bullshit. I think he turned him because he really finds him fascinating now and, I don’t know, was seeing his own life flash before him and wanted someone to call his own. And do we think Armand would leave his only fledgling alone? Daniel was thriving! He’s confident, he’s happy, he’s strong! If Daniel resented him for it, truly, he’d be miserable- but he isn’t. And I’ve read a few takes regarding this and I think it can make a lot of sense if we really look at who Armand is as a person.
And since I’m always wrong and hope the writers prove me otherwise, I don’t think the Chase is gonna happen- in the 70s/80s or post-Dubai. I think it’ll be changed to Armand “chasing” Daniel’s love.
I just really need something more that will tell me this is all gonna be okay akksdjjd
Others: Superb acting by Ben Daniels my gosh! Rashid totally being body-swapped or working for the Talamasca made me so happy- I’ve loved Bally this season and hope to see him again. Them making Sam’s character a DJ was so funny- will he be performing with Lestat? His opener? LMAO
Season 3 setup-
I’m both excited and a little disappointed for their setups for season 3. Louis calling the vampires to him was badass and I think will lead Lestat to break out of his NOLA “stupor” and burst onto the music scene and draw everyone to him instead.
With Louis’ words to Daniel regarding a second book, I would say I don’t think Daniel would take his advice and not make a second book but that’s not who Daniel is. I think he’ll hear that and say yes to Lestat and interview him for his book.
So who did they leave out in regards to a season 3 setup? Armand. Yes, we know he turned Daniel but we didn’t even see him? Hear from him? Anything? Maybe it’s asking too much but it bothered me that they left it as “he turned Daniel out of spite” and that’s it.

Something that stood out to me during my probably 20th rewatch of the show is that at the end of episode 1, Louis who tells about his dramatic turning into a vampire is emotional and fairly so. Since it was the beginning of his new life as a vampire it makes sense for him to shed a single bloody tear.
But here is the thing the next time we see Louis in episode 2 he comes to the dinner table and apologizes to Daniel, saying sorry for his outburst earlier. So your telling me that Louis considered that an outburst? A completely understandable single tear is an outburst?
And this goes back to the differences in Loumand's and Loustat's relationships.
All throughout the first season in Dubai we see Armand not letting Louis feel his emotions and is always there to stop him from showing too much of any negative emotion. And this also connected to the first scene we got from season 2 where Armand tells Louis how he likes that Louis is withholding.
Armand likes the part of Louis that is docile and calm while Lestat likes the vicious and more challenging part of Louis personality.
Both of them cannot accept and love Louis for who he fully is and I am excited to see how there relationships are able to develop in the show. I think it will be super cool to see the progression of this aspect of the show and how the journey that these characters go on will lead them to accepting and loving each other for who they truly are.

IWTV S2 Ep4 Musings - Loustat & Loumand
Tumblr media
Ah crap. The ONE thing he really enjoys, and could probably get very good at--but he's stuck with garbage exposure and weak flash, cuz he can only take nighttime photos. U_U
Tumblr media
UNHINGED. 😭😭😭 Lestat's become his best friend / supportive soundboard / feral golden retriever eating all his photos, omg. XD
Tumblr media
Lou thinks the only right photos are of Lestat, I'm gonna be SICK. 😍 (Sam's accent was odd--he sounded less French??? Or am I tripping?)
Tumblr media
Louis telling himself he needs to have more patience with the logistics of nocturnal life--and all that implies. So does that mean he wants to have more patience w/ the coven (& Armand) cuz he knows he can't hang out with humans like other artists do?
Tumblr media
Lestat busting a gut every time Armand shows up is KILLING me. 🤣
Tumblr media
The Time-Stop Gift is SO FREAKING cool; I love how they find these actors who can stay so still! Are they mimes or something!?
Tumblr media
Louis loves himself a senior citizen; his husbands get older & older!
Tumblr media
GET HIM, LOUIS!!! We ain't impressed! 😤 (Well, EYE am, ngl, but you stand your ground, Lou, that's right!)
Tumblr media
Scared the mess outta me for a second, omg. 😅
Tumblr media
Yeah, well, your coven sucks, Armand, so.
Tumblr media
I disagree--I think that was the best, nastiest thing he could've done.
The next scene was so spicy I had to make a separate post for Armand's Backstory.
Tumblr media
AMC.... Don't you effing dare.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
That is a WILD fire hazard, omg--at least do that in the kitchen, Lou.
Tumblr media
Before or after meeting Armand? I NEED ANSWERS, AMC!
Tumblr media
LOUIS called Armand a manipulative gremlin!? 😂
Tumblr media
Louis, you walk that back RIGHT NOW!
Tumblr media
Yea, it was NUTS that Louis never told her that Armand was in on their secret.
Tumblr media
Spilled like a leaky faucet, yes. U_U
Tumblr media
To quote your beloved hallucinations: "Let me tell you a little something about 18th century Armand~!" 👀💀 Chile, lemme tell you about 18 MINUTES ago Armand, tossing Santiago around in public!
Tumblr media
This could've been the running theme instead of Memory is a Monster. 😅 (I'm SHOCKED DreamStat has nothing to say from the peanut gallery. Seems he only shows up when Armand's around.)
Tumblr media
Ouch.
Tumblr media
CRAZY how Louis' already in like the 5th stage of grief, accepting DreamStat as some buddy ole pal. Walking in the park, chatting on park benches like they used to do back in NOLA. (But also accepting that he HAS to let DreamStat go, if he wants to survive in Paris & build something with Armand.)
Tumblr media
He still thinks he's a "wh*re," doomed to be out cheating. U_U
Tumblr media
WOW! So the night Les chased Jelly Roll Morton out of town was probably the night Lou realized he was REALLY in love, I reckon. U_U
Tumblr media
Is that TRUE, or just what Louis wishes was true? (I bet it's true.) Les carried Lou's monogrammed hanky, daw. :3
Tumblr media
MORE delusion--Louis, you couldn't even run your own family, let alone a pack of 14 Old World vamps who have ZERO reason to parlay with you--America is a totally different situation than Europe! The vamps out there are VICIOUS, cuz they INVENTED viciousness! Louis just gassed Armand up into thinking they had the upper hand, blissfully ignorant that Santiago just got ALL the dirt on him, smdh.
Tumblr media
Ohhhh....THAT'S what Lou calls him in bed! 🤭 This is so touching & sweet, as Lou's like: You are ARUN, you're a PERSON, born with the human right to have hopes, dreams, desires, wants. Eff what Coven Master Armand & rentboy Amadeo did. What do YOU want, as ARUN? TABULA RASA. I love that for him! ❤
Tumblr media
😲🤯
Armand calling Louis Maitre!? DADDY LOU IS BACK! 😈 That's right, you toss that lighter over your shoulder; you've MASTERED the Fire Gift! 🔥 (They grow up so fast~! 😭)
Armand wants to follow Lou's lead, let him take control. "I serve a God." Armand is TIRED of leading, he needs someone to follow; something to believe in. He always needs to have something he can devote his attention to--Lestat & Gabrielle read him for filth about this in several books; esp. Memnoch.
Cuz these are vamps; soul-sucking leeches. Loumand's codependent to a fault. Two vines wrapped so tight around e/o that they'll eventually strangle any life/vitality out of e/o--and you can see that toxicity bubbling to the surface in their huge argument at the end of the ep. They broke up in the books for a reason--Armand NEEDED to find himself (find ARUN, his human soul/identity), too. A coven's a poor substitute for a FAMILY, which he finally got with Sybelle & Benji, Daniel & Marius. This isn't even the tip of the iceberg--but it's a start. 👍
