#still not condoning hate campaign on a writer tho

[crazykuroneko]

Actually Lestat says in the books that all the threats he made to Louis over the years were just empty words cause he could never ever hurt him (let alone rape him or dropping him from the sky) and he says so even when he is absolutely furious like when Louis refused to turn him.

asgshsjsl my notifications blew up because of the Gabi and Madi video even though I have muted them, so sorry for missed this out anon.

But anyway, there are two important points there, first "Lestat says" and "in the books" as in in books after IWTV. the thing is the show is still adapting the first book, so using what Lestat says in later books, Lestat who has gone through his whole IWTV arc and character development (unless you want to say he never has gone through a character development?) for a show that's still on the first half of IWTV is moot. And whatever Lestat says in later book doesn't take the fact he threatened Louis and Claudia until they're too scared to sleep in their coffins.

I have been thinking about this, and I have found the root of the problem. The thing is, Anon, you approach this with the idea you know these characters as if they're your friends. Meanwhile, I, since we're talking about the writer and the writing, approach them as "pawns" in a story. Because that's what a character is, a narrative tool writers use to tell their story. That's why I said thing like "It's basically like math" in regards to the difference between the show and the book (no plural here), cos writing is very calculating, almost like a game of chess; you put a character (pawn) in certain position (situation) and you figure out what's the next hand and the next etc. And this is a big fundamental difference in our perspectives. So, I think if you can't see where I come from here you wouldn't ever understand. And that's okay, we can agree to disagree. I just explained my POV because you asked 🤷‍♀️
