Oh my gosh, okay okay okay, anon, I've had a few wines after a friend popped by unexpectedly, sorry in advance, but she's gone now so hear me out, haha. I'm putting my crime scene investigations hat on and I can tell you after watching the scene *mumbles indecipherably* times, Lestat has at least two visible bites in the scene on his throat, not one. We all tend to look at the one on the left, but he actually has one lower on the right too.
I feel like I'm presenting evidence in a court of law right now, haha, but I've lightened the cap a bit, so hopefully you can see the one we're all normally talking about on the left here, but then, on the right, you get a hint of blood? (And you can actuall see it in that gifset too)
And when he tilts his head towards Claudia, oh! There it is! Second bite:
Which brings me back to the scene itself, and I hear you, I think maybe it was meant to be the upper left bite scarring there, BUT I'll also counter with the very fun (to me, haha) argument that the first bite we saw through the window was actually a different bite entirely given Louis seemed to go for the join of Lestat's neck and shoulder, which in the aftermath scene, would be covered by his shirt.
In other words, I think Louis bit him more than once, and I want to have been a fly on the wall in the make up team's meeting as they decided when and where to place the bites / bruises / wounding.
But anyway, YES, I love on soooo many levels that the show broadcasts that they have insane sex in Lestat's lover's house, probably break her bed, given the bruising, only for Louis to immediately take Lestat home and declare it's time, after five years, for a family meeting? Deranged behaviour! And he's there smelling at the very least like the Mississippi River and clearly glowed up from vampire / soulmate blood after years recovering on a strict animal diet, and Lestat's there looking well fucked and fed on, and their daughter is forced to just sit there and act like this is Completely Fine. A resentment probably aggravated by the fact that we know Louis threw Lestat's coffin out the window, so presumably they're sharing one tonight! She deserved to murder them both so many times over, but honestly never more so than this night!
#(i hope this works anon my tumblr weirdly ate your ask as i was replying?#luckily i had it open in another window to screenshot)#more to the point lowkey you could classify this as evidence of louis being terrible at aftercare too haha#like imagine fucking your abusive ex after five years apart only to be like#yeah okay now immediately come and talk to our daughter who you're estranged from#(to say nothing about the mmm not forced but perhaps strongarmed reveal of trauma too)#it's fucked i love it louis your mind is.....so many things#i hope this is legible i was NOT expecting my friend to show up with booze tonight lmao#and also it's my last day in the office for the year tomororow (!!)#and have the day is a work excursion with my work wife which is very cute#so i'm feeling ?? relaxed ??#very foreign feeling for me in the year 2024 to be honest haha#but more to the point i hear you anon#it cold be just a little blink-and-you-miss-it continuity error#but gosh isn't it more fun if it's not?#lestat de lioncourt#iwtv 1.06#logistics
