i haven't actually watched the new season yet, but i'm listening to the songs when they come out & i just listened to big bad wolf... why is lestat crashing out SO hard over the interview/book?? like. unless daniel rlyyyyy changed the interview/what louis told him, i don't rlly get why he cares sm. like obviously it would suck to have an ex reveal all your private life details to the public & obviously lestat is a very dramatic & emotional person. but i mean. louis was pretty positive in his depiction of lestat during the interview. i mean at least wayyy more than the og book & the 70s interview. the worst thing louis says about him are true (other than what he said to claudia on the train, and ig daniel maybe didn't include that they had her diaries so it wasn't louis just saying/guessing that lestat said that?). but like. in the song the inaccuracies he seems plagued by are either so mundane or they paint him in a better light. i mean the initials on the breast pocket? (which btw louis never actually claimed was true, it was just louis having imagined that, if daniel wrote it as something def true then that's just on daniel being a shitty writer). like. that made me like you more, dude. it was like. lowk one of the most romantic things (we thought) you did. louis rlyy didn't make him seem like the monster, he seemed to have read the book & seen himself as. like. yeah he was abusive & that's mentioned but. that's true. lestat doesn't seem angry about that bcs its true, can't rlly refute that. like. idk i feel like what they seem to be going for (at least from just listening to the song), it'd have worked better if it was more a reaction to how book!louis describes lestat or how 70s!louis describes lestat. in the dubai interview, he (as daniel even remarks) describes him as the love of his life. just a messy, abusive love of his life. but he describes him with love!!!!
so like. either daniel changed A LOT. or lestat's a fucking idiot (or the writers this season are...)
I do hope they address this at some point before the season ends because its crazy that all the things Lestat seems to be mad about are like minor details that dont really paint him that bad. (Except for the train scene with Claudia, I get that he'd be mad about that.)
But overall he is not really trying to refute all the worst things Louis said he did, like the cheating or the drop, most likely because... He cant.
But who gives a fuck if you didnt write the wolverine blues or if you didnt wrote his initials in your pocket when you were actually a deeply toxic partner?
I understand that he is mad about the book specially because Louis hadnt told him anything about it but I think the reason hes lashing out so bad is because he knows most of what Louis said its true and he cant deny them, so he gets fixated on the stupid details of the tale as a way to disregard the whole thing
This got longer than i intended, anyway, dont get this the wrong way, I adore both Lestat and Louis in all of their toxicity, they are both fuck ups who love each other
