The Godfathers | E | Lestat/Louis, Claudia/Madeleine, Louis/Armand |

Summary:

“You asked Lestat?”

Immediately, Madeleine's round eyes are swimming with justification. “Pourquoi non? You said yes! I suggested him and you said why not?!”

"Baby, be so serious. I love him but he is not responsible. Or even stable! And it can't be Lestat because–" Claudia swallows, bracing herself for impact. “I already told Louis he was going to be the Godfather.”

Claudia and Madeleine have one option for their baby's Godparents: their two best friends who haven't spoken in seven years.

The Lovers

In honor of the season 3 finale I give you our beautiful Helen of Troy Louis de point du lac

hes-brad

I don’t understand the flattening out of Louis’ character. Surely if it’s due to a pov shift that makes it even worse. The redeeming factor of lestat and louis’ relationship was that lestat saw all these beautiful things in him and didn’t want him to conform to roles. Now we have lestat pov dumbing down Louis’ vocabulary and making his prevailing trait “business” to the extent that we don’t see him reading, storytelling, designing, pondering art and artistic movements, taking photographs, making literary criticism, dancing, enjoying music, experimenting with fashion, philosophising, poeticising, crying at opera, romanticising or any of those things, just being fucked up about grief and making money. Is the idea that Louis is once more trapped inside the racialised/gendered/heteronormative roles that he played when lestat first met him? Or has the series abandoned Louis’ complexity in favour of creating a redeemable lestat. The irony is that despite lestat’s inability to see the ways that race and sexuality factored into Louis’ difficulty with being authentic, lestat’s redeeming feature in s1 was his attention and care to the multifaceted dimensions of Louis’ personality. Louis fell for him because he felt seen. Why does tvl lestat not see Louis?
