Louis de Pointe du Lac INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE (2022) 1.01 "In Throes of Increasing Wonder..."
Husbands
You know what I think it is? Why this particular part cuts me like a knife?
“Why are you ill? What’s happened to you? I love you, Louis. Tell him I love him, Armand. I love you, Louis. Tell him, Armand! Tell him!”
It’s because this is Lestat trying to comfort Louis. This is Lestat, not knowing any details other than Louis has “injured himself”, trying to let Louis know that he’s loved.
Letting Louis hear Lestat’s undying love for him is of the utmost importance to Lestat, because it harkens back to the first time Lestat told Louis that he loved him under similar circumstances, only Lestat was there to prevent Louis from hurting himself by letting Louis know he was loved.
Lestat came to that church, hearing Louis’ thoughts and knowing he was suicidal. Lestat was telling Louis in that moment that he sees every piece of him. He sees the pieces of Louis that are awful and ugly. The pieces that Louis hates. However, they are all beautiful to Lestat, because they belong to Louis.
“I love you, Louis. You are loved.”
No matter what, in spite of everything, no matter how low Louis sinks or how wretched he becomes, Lestat just wants Louis to know that he sees, yet always loves him unconditionally and maybe, just maybe, Lestat hopes it’ll be the comfort and strength Louis needs to carry on and live for him.
And you? You go carry on with your living.
I’M. FINE. 😭💔🔪

Sam Reid as Lestat de Lioncourt | INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE 1x01 | In Throes of Increasing Wonder…
"Shall we have a nightcap?"
I honestly don't think I'll ever get over this scene, and I know exactly why ↓
There's something so special about the very first episode, I honestly wish it was longer and I desperately need to see it from Lestat's POV.
But this scene stands out because you can really feel Louis hesitating when Lestat invites him in. He's clearly uneasy about being alone with Lestat, sensing that something is about to happen. What's even more intriguing in the second gif is Lestat's reaction. He's visibly excited, almost like he's eagerly anticipating what's about to happen. He's like: "I know I got him" and can't hide his excitement. 🤭There's this subtle predatory look in his eyes, resembling a child eyeing their favorite toy from afar. It's a small yet powerful detail that Sam captures brilliantly.

chat is the "you've grown old daniel / yeah well, mortality beats a heavy drum" line from the very beginning of In Throes Of Increasing Wonder supposed to foreshadow Louis' monologue about his and Lestat's hearts beating like an incredibly loud drum and how this turning was both the end and the beginning of Louis' mortality or is that just a regular phrase. english not first language sorry
