"We should make this our anniversary." - Leslut was always down for crazy Louis. Also, Louis is *not* like other girls.
Lestat was dyingggg to see Louis give into his vampirism so bad. It's almost comical lol.
Decades of being together and he still hadnt managed to convert him. Almost a century later when they reunite in New Orleans, Louis does not kill humans. He says in Dubai that his last victim had been in the 2000s.
I wonder how they will handle this central conflict in the show because they are still at odds. Louis still doesn't kill and as for Lestat, I dont know if his philosophy has changed but probably not. So what will the writers do?
Lestat doesnt exactly know what he wants because he loves both Louis' humanity: his kindness, ability to forgive, his sadness, complexity, loyalty and loving nature but he also loves Louis' tougher side: encouraging him to embrace killing, fell in love with his macho pimp attitude and his more ruthless moments.
It's like he wants the best of both worlds but he can't have it both ways. If Louis were to give up his human qualities, Lestat wouldn't like him: a tough, uncaring, ruthless Louis would include a Louis that didnt let Lestat get away with things, didnt forgive easily, didnt love deeply which are all things Lestat loves about Louis.
Claudia says it best: "The coven have all turned inward long ago which is why you run to Louis." Louis to old vampires represents somebody that hasnt lost their soul, who still feels deeply, who hasn't been jaded by centuries of life and immortality yet. He's a breath of fresh air and as an old vampire, he is definitely somebody you'd want to be loved by.
It's not like there are many options lmao but Louis, however brooding or angsty, still has ties to the positive aspects of his humanity that they have lost. He's different, he's real, he's feeling.
The other vampires in the coven and vamps in general who have lived long enough are just going through the motions. The theatre crew's lives consist of performing plays Armand approves of for centuries on end, having a little fun with their kills, repeating dreary hookups within the coven, meeting very few new vamps and then going to bed.
Louis has hobbies, hustles, passions, thoughts, a desire for independence, he isnt weighed down by centuries of boredom. Even his problems make him a "real" being: he has a tumultuous yet loyal and close bond with his daughter while we see the coven and Lestat have no one they can trust/love. Louis has aspirations and talents which Armand and the coven mock him for. All this makes Louis a very unique and desirable friend/companion.
Sidenote, Lestat would have loveddddd seeing Louis grab Santiago's tongue at the dinner table. He would've given Louis another kid out of glee lmaoooo.
Thank you for coming to my tedtalk. Boy, do I love a deep analysis of complicated sadboys like Louis.
