I edit the video but they did ripp part of his tank top and I don't think he says goodbye. He seems upset. I feel so bad, I hope he is ok. [FITFWT Panamá, 02.04.24]

I haven't been on much today and just saw the aftermath of what happened at the barricade... People need to keep in mind that Louis never consented to this level of roughhousing. Even if he seemed to react positively and had fun with having his clothes tugged before, we can't just HOPE he will every time because. Again. NO EXPLICIT CONSENT WAS GIVEN. Even if someone does give it, consent can always be taken away, so what more someone you never directly discussed boundaries with?? Do NOT test ANYONE like that. Celebrities are no exception. Do not be that person that tests Louis' boundaries and ruins the trust and connection he wants to have with his fans. He is not a piece of meat. He's a person who deserves respect and consideration, just like us.

I wandered the world with him until very late in this modern age. Time eventually destroyed our love for one another. Time withered our gentle intimacy. Time devoured whatever conversation or pleasures we once agreeably shared.

Daddy Lou said I had been away from people too long. I didn't know how to behave right anymore. But Uncle Les said I behaved just fine.

I’ll never stop thinking about that scene in season 2 where Armand and Daniel were both looking at each other as if the other was a piping hot apple pie that had been conveniently left to cool on an easily accessible windowsill

by the way they were hunting gay men for pleasure and sport in paris and san francisco👆this also fits in very neatly into how they collaborate and tolerate one another’s feeding practices in dubai (damek, malik). their negotiations when it comes to feeding practices forms a very important thread in the show - it goes hand-in-hand with the negotiations pertaining to their relationship and how they’re consequently able to make their marriage last; their collaboration with respect to their feeding also makes sense because drinking blood is a very sensual act for vampires - so they’re also helping each other find pleasure in that sense even when they’re not sharing blood between themselves. there’s a reason most of louis’s victims in nola, paris, sf & dubai are usually men.

Louis "i hate theatre" de Pointe du Lac. repeatedly gets into long-term relationships with hardcore theatre kids?

so. either he's lying and he loves theatre. or he just needs vampire cock THAT bad.

"are you asking me or making me?" is soooooo interesting to me because i think armand only asks it when he can't gauge whether he's letting louis down. it's barely even sexual - it's a hail mary. it's a show of trust, indirectly admitting that he wants to do something other than what louis expects of him, but that he's willing to obey louis anyway, for the sake of their relationship. it's sort of heartbreaking watching them at the sacré-cœur, because if louis had said "i'm making you" armand would've done it in a heartbeat. he would've taken it as a show of committment on louis' part, and he wouldn't have betrayed him. but louis takes the question just as an expression of disagreement, and so he doesn't play the game. ironically, he respects armand's independence too much to make him turn madeleine if he doesn't want to. and so armand isn't convinced of louis' commitment to him, and he betrays him.

and by the time we see them in san fransisco, louis knows what the question means now, and answers "no, arun, i'm not asking" without question. and armand accepts it without complaint, even as it pains him. companionship really is the most important thing in the world to armand, just like it is for lestat, and he's willing to do any number of horrible things to louis and himself just to keep him as a companion, just like lestat. louis' biggest mistake is not realising how to use that to his advantage sooner.

edit: HELP people are reblogging this again. i misremembered the context of the scene - louis is asking armand to witness the turning, not do it himself. still, if armand had gone along to witness, that would have 100% been taken as implicit permission for louis to turn madeleine (thereby adhering to the first of the great laws) and, in essence, "agreeing" with her turning where before he ordered claudia to drive madeleine out of town. this hypocrisy, and the further bending of the rules for louis' sake (he's given permission to turn a mortal despite neither of them being in the coven), would have been seen by the coven as betrayal. armand knows this; he doesn't think madeleiene should be turned for these reasons; that's why he asks, "are you asking me or making me?"

still. if louis had said "i'm making you" i think armand would've gone along to witness, implicitly giving his permission for madeleine to be turned and functionally changing his allegiance from the coven to louis once and for all. so the core point of the post still stands.

louis having the same disgusted face no matter what the theatre performs is something that will never not be funny to me

i maintain you are not a real lestat fan if you flanderize him as only the worst or best parts of himself. if you can't hold him in your heart in his entire complex messy glory you are not a true lover

[foreignswaggersession]

alright i'm gonna say this as nicely as i can. if you actually think louis ate his nephew you're an idiot not paying attention. that baby wasn't just a baby, it was his NEPHEW, grace's child. once again, i'm asking you to think seriously - if grace left her baby alone with louis, and came back to a dead baby, do you think grace would not hold louis responsible for her baby's death? do you think grace would tell jonah where to find louis, and not "louis killed my child you should avoid him?"

do you think they would even entertain letting louis come to the house anymore to visit grace's other children, day or night?

do you think grace would invite him to their mother's funeral (or any other events that louis missed - like his not-dead nephew's christening, which takes place AFTER ep 2)?

do you think grace would mark his grave like this???

that whole "did you eat the baby" scene is why episode 2 is my least favorite episode of season 1. it goes on for so long, and then people with no brain cells think they're smart by saying "louis's such a crazy liar he would eat a baby" (ok i've stopped being nice - if you think louis ate that baby you have no right to say anything about this show)

also, we don't see the son at the twins' birthday party because he's still a baby/toddler and probably asleep. he didn't eat his fucking nephew omg be serious.
