Time eventually destroyed our love for one another. Time withered our gentle intimacy. Time devoured whatever conversation or pleasures we once agreeably shared.

but me & my husband, we are doing better it's always been just him & me, together

PAUSE

the reason i need the weirdo armand who blends drinks based on nothing but colour and feeds garbage disposals and makes weird home movies in the show is because as much as i talk about armand and the cycles of amadeo and marius they're like...the ultimate proof that he is not what anyone has tried to make him. he's not an eternal sex slave or child bride or cult leader or abusive figure. he tries to be all these things because they're how he experienced the world in his most formative years but at the end of the day he has a big heart and he wants to be loved and he wants to experience the world as it is and he wants to watch the same movie over and over again and he wants to protect those he cares about and he wants to ride jet skis and he wants to make a human boy coffee in the mornings and he wants to build a terrible consumerist island and and he wants to be a good father and

Something something Lestat using vampirism as a way to liberate Louis and Gabrielle from the suffering they experience from oppressive social systems, but he doesn’t have an understanding of how these systems operate and he doesn’t really care to learn. Mostly because learning would require him to reckon with the ways he both perpetuates and benefits from these systems something something

#And then you discovery that actually these experiences with the oppressive systems will not only continue to happen but have made #it so that understanding your loved ones in their entirety is impossible for you

Ooooo I didn’t think of that. In erasing some of the barriers separating them from him biologically(and in his mind socially), he forever cuts off his access to their internal worlds and ability to understand them as beings apart from himself.

And you know what….of course he thinks of his whit- I mean blood as an elevating force that dismantles silly human concepts like patriarchy and racism. As a human, he’s a white attractive man with blonde hair and blue eyes from an aristocratic family (a waning one but still). He was already high up on the food chain and vampirism elevated him even higher. Plus, we have Daddy Magnus and Daddy Marius further instilling these beliefs. plus Daddy Gabrielle. Elevating the downtrodden and marginalized is his birthright🙄

If he actually learned about how white supremacy functions and engaged in some self reflection, he’d start making connections between that ideology and his own assault/trauma/exploitation/etc. It’s an ideology that ultimately sees him as a body/tool to be used and directly ties in with him being hypersexualized since youth.

There is no racism in the Savage Garden🤓☝🏻

The writers scrapped all this rich commentary so they could call Louis a piece of Kentucky fried chicken and a nappy headed slave....
