one thing I love about s1 loustat is how fundamentally incompatible their needs are. lestat acts out in his relationship because he needs his partner to prove they will never leave him, despite his flaws. louis needs faithfulness because he doesn’t believe that he’s enough for someone after always being made to feel like he was less than others. neither of them is capable of communicating this. in fact, they’re completely unaware of it themselves. still, they’re mad that the other one doesn’t get it, and they’re not above punishing each other for that.
