I think it’s true that everyone in the fandom has, at some point, had a massive crush on Louis.

Psssst we know that, Louis.

I do think Louis was a gateway drug for alot of fandom ppl. It’s his story at first. I read the books in order and I’d recommend doing it that way, even tho it’s not necessary. TVL really is a response to IWTV, and part of the charm of that book is Lestat’s joy at breaking open the floodgate to release all the forbidden answers to all the burning questions Louis had in IWTV. I loved Lestat more knowing that alot of his bastardness in IWTV was frustration that he was sworn to secrecy, and couldn’t risk putting Louis, Claudia, and himself in danger by telling them any of it at that time. 

I think this varies from person to person in the fandom, and some ppl despise Lestat, and have from whatever book they started in. Like the movie itself, he’s not for everyone and doesn’t have to be. 

My gateway drug was Claudia, and then Louis, and then Lestat. How crazy that the antagonist of IWTV ends up being, very quickly in this series, the lead and clearly the protagonist? As the series shows, he’s not wholly an antagonist to Louis. It wasn’t so black and white, as it is in real life, there were misunderstandings and gray areas.

Poor Louis. He has no idea that he’s gorgeous and everyone wants to be on him. Innocent Louis. Protect him.

pssssst we know, Louis, and that makes u even more attractive.

#too hot for his own good#my songs know what you did in the dark

at first I was laughing at that tag and then I had to read i love every time he hits smtg or knocks smtg over bc hes so frustrated that he cant attack whoever actually is pushing him over the edge#bc he is a gentleman deep down#and always will be

AND THEN I HAD TO KEEP LAUGHING TO KEEP MYSELF FROM CRYING. 

Think of how strong Louis must be though…he doesn’t even ask or question the others, but you know that he sees and senses: he never tests his strengths, his possible powers that he’s not only gained through his age but by the fact that he was changed and has since shared blood with Lestat who has drank of the most powerful undead. He probably has abilities to match Armand or even more by this point. And he doesn’t.

He at once says that he doesn’t think he has a touch of humanity in him anymore, but his actions lead towards the belief that he clings to whatever humanness is left in him.

And out of the vampires, despite the fact he is indiscriminate in his killings, he seems the most gentle, or at least the most obviously opposed to hurting things himself outside of the need to hunt: think about his choice of weapon—fire.

Fire burns on its own, Louis has to light the match, but the violence is done by the fire, not by himself.
