Experience Tumblr like never before
Do you think the show will let us know Lestat becomes a rockstar to try and shield Louis? Or do you think they will try and make it like Lestat wants Louis to know he is fine without him? (He’s not)
I think the ending of S2 was a deliberate setup to coincide with how TVL begins — Louis is in danger, and Lestat concocts the rockstar career in an effort to shield him.
They let us hear all those threats against Louis for two reasons. One, it was meant to show that Louis is owning himself finally and is not the same as he was before. He is now The Vampire Louis. Two, like I said, it was setting up Lestat’s main reason for doing what he does with the rockstar shenanigans.
I also don’t think Lestat will be actively trying to convince Louis that he’s “fine” without him. It will be more like Lestat doesn’t want to burden Louis or be “too much” for Louis and will only want to give what he thinks Louis wants to receive.
In other words, he will be at Louis’ feet…..just like he’s really always been at Louis’ feet.

Never beating the lestat possesion allegations
Jacob Anderson the n1 Louis x therapy shipper 😭
Part 2?
On a scale of Louis/Lestat to Joe/Nicky, how toxic are your immortal husbands?
What I love most about the finale is how it shows Louis finally on his own and content. Claudia calls him out for it multiple times, “who are you without me” who is Louis alone, because he never gets a chance to find out between his relationships to his family then lestat then Claudia then armand. Louis is always having to perform a role for those he loves and he has no idea who he is alone. The whole “yes maitre” roleplay with armand divorces him even further from who he is, forcing him back into the role of Louis the pimp.
But instead of going back to lestat Louis decides to be on his own, to fully be himself, and the redecorated apartment full of colour and pictures of Claudia and his brother is a beautiful expression of this.
this is my pre-gaming for watching this show. dipping a metaphorical toe into the fandom. i haven't read the books either.
there are 3 vampires: lestat, louis, and armand
armand's name may or may not be amadeo?
lestat and louis had a daughter named claudia
claudia was unhinged (which is fair. i would be too if i was stuck at age 15 forever)
claudia had a girlfriend named madeline
claudia and madeline died together (without even having kissed each other. true love? sapphic teenagerism? perhaps both)
claudia's death caused lestat and louis to break up after like a century of dating or something
armand killed claudia?
there was a play involved in claudia's death...? i am incredibly confused about this one
either it was a play or an execution
the love triangle seems convoluted
armand is in love with louis and lestat is also in love with louis and lestat & armand have definitely also fucked each other
louis should just get the hell out of there actually. free my boy louis !!!
the interview is being done by daniel molloy who is bi (?) and definitely into that kinky shit
daniel molloy fucked either louis or armand in his youth (during the 80s maybe?). possibly he fucked both. the human pet of the marriage
daniel's memories got messed with to... forget fucking the vampires? idk. p sure armand did it though
that seems to be the consensus for most things in this show
armand did it.
claudia died? armand did it. daniel's memory got wiped? armand did it. louis stubbed his toe? armand probably did it.
armand needs to be sent to vampire jail this guy's a menace
also lestat had a midlife crisis after louis left him for armand and became a rockstar. i hope they release his songs on spotify as marketing. i wanna hear it
BONUS: lestat's album flops? armand did it.
anyway now daniel is old and interviewing armand and louis in dubai?
armand eats suicidal ppl?
daniel causes armand and louis' marriage to fall through
that's louis' 2nd failed marriage
surprisingly not his fault either time i think
armand turns daniel into a vamp
this is signficiant because armand has never turned anyone into a vamp
armand is going to fuck that old man
that old man has kids apparently
and swore someone out on live tv
BONUS 2: daniel got turned into a vampire? armand did it.
seriously what the hell is armand's problem (said affectionately. i have a feeling he's gonna be my fav when i watch)
does lestat know daniel?
claudia may or may not return from the dead
if she does i'll blame that on armand too
is armand french or not? he lives in dubai. has a french accent (?) but also not.
lestat is french. louis and claudia are american.
surprisingly, the americans are the nicest of the bunch. rare american W
also can lestat fly? did he throw louis from like... a 4 story height? ppl on twitter were mad abt it like last year
are there any other characters in this show except the ones i've named. it's been 2 seasons. 6 characters cannot be all there is.
iwtv + text post part 56
Yandere Lestat de Lioncourt x Reader
Warnings: Yandere Behavior, mentions of suicide, baby trapping, kidnapping, based off of the 1994 movie and book(s), a bit of misogyny(?), verbal abuse
Lestat is a selfish yandere, who puts his desires above his lover’s.
He does whatever he can to make you stay with him.
Belittling you, so that it may seem like he’s the only one to care about you. Tells you how stupid you are for believing others can love you.
He’s very likely to kidnap/trap and isolate his lover. (He literally baby trapped Louis so he wouldn’t leave him).
He’s very clingy. Nicolas killed himself and Louis left him, causing him to form a fear of abandonment.
He’s a bit delusional. He doesn’t really understand why you get upset at him, and may mock you at times.
He doesn’t want to, but he may forcefully turn you. You would have to do something drastic for him to do so. Or he may coerce you into letting him turn you, so that he may feel less guilt.
Lestat is controlling. Specifically to your guys’ money. If you're a woman this would be easier for him to do so.
Arguments with him are terrible. Yelling about all the things he does for you, and even threatening to kill the people you hold dear to yourself.
You may soon believe that Lestat is the devil.
A/N: I'm really proud of this. I had to go through the book to write this and forgot how good it was.
Louis x Reader x Lestat headcanons
Yandere Lestat de Lioncourt x Reader
Lestat x Reader x Louis dating headcanons
Warnings: Toxic relationship, fighting, murder
Louis wanted to leave Lestat so bad, but then there was you, his precious (Name).
Lestat held you over Louis’ head. Louis couldn’t leave if Lestat had you.
But Lestat did love you. He wouldn’t let Louis take you without a fight.
You loved them both and you didn’t understand why they fought. Louis thought that there was something that Lestat wasn’t telling both of you about vampirism. This is what they fought about most.
Louis remembered the night you first turned into a vampire. He was so angry when he found out that Lestat turned you into a vampire. His calm demeanor breaking as he heard your wails about being thirsty.
He threw Lestat into a wall, asking him how he could curse you with a lifetime of hell?
Louis would try to coax you into drinking animal blood, while Lestat would try to convince you to drink human blood.
Lestat would lowkey be a bitch if you decided to drink animal blood. Rolling his eyes whenever he saw you drinking from a rat.
But if you choose to drink human blood Louis would look at you silently, watching you take a human life.
Dates/ time spent together:
Louis would take you out on late night walks. Talking about whatever came to mind.
Quietly reading books next to each other, snuggled up against each other. Sometimes Louis would read to you.
Lestat would take you horse riding. Holding onto his chest and feeling the wind go through your hair.
Lestat would try to make a date out of hunting humans.
Lestat would teach you to play the piano and/or violin, and once you’ve learned you’d play together.
They both would dance with you at balls. Taking turns.
was going through my drafts and i found this
"The bear loved the deer, it was obvious. It ripped the deer's throat out, and then licked the dying deer with the most passionate affection. I thought of you and me."
David Cronenberg, Consumed
good morning, vampires!

"I wanted to forget him, and yet it seemed I thought of him always. It was as if the empty nights were made for thinking of him. And sometimes I found myself so vividly aware of him it was as if he had only just left the room and the ring of his voice were still there." - Interview with the Vampire, 1976 Interview with the Vampire (2022) | Season 1 - Season 2
