#she just wanted to meet one vampire that wasn't a goddamn bastard!! ONE!!!! and so far all of them are save for maddy!

[claudiadpdl]

people are arguing that claudia is being infantilized by the viewer bc we're acting like she isn't an adult and hasn't also made stupid/irresponsible choices and we shouldn't be looking to louis to 'save her' and yeah some people are doing that but for the love of fuck, yall. louis should have stuck up for claudia when armand was talking shit to her about the minstrelsy, humiliating, infantilizing play she's being forced to perform ever night! i doubt claudia would've agreed to join that coven if she knew the full extent of what they were going to do to her, or more specifically what armand was going to do to her. even in wanting so desperately to belong.

claudia is responsible for her actions and has undoubtedly made bad ones, but unlike most everyone else, she never had a goddamn chance. she never had a single person in her fucking corner and given her parental figures in the beginning its almost expected that she would make some less-than-optimal decisions. wanting the person that claimed it was "you and me" to be in her corner, entirely, just once, is not infantilizing her.
