Honestly, the most shocking part of this iwtv2 ep was that Louis announced truthfully he was real good at running things and then failed his social contract to Armand who pledged eternal loyalty to him by ruining the man’s two hundred year old business by giving shit business advice that allowed for a hostile takeover of a coup I’m—

For all lestat was opposed to Louis human sympathies, Louis said goodbye to him at the same time he said goodbye to understanding humans(his photography) and a human way of love (he used to touch cigarettes with lestat but he lit Armand's cigarettes with his vampire power and threw away the lighter)

For an episode that was so centered around how much of a bastard lestat is, this is def the most sympathetic I've been to him since like s01e03 or sth

Louis said. I’m not going to hit you. I’m not going to hit you. I’m not going to lay a hand against you. I’m going to put my hands on my new man, kiss him sweet and slow in your view, so you can remember me using tongue on him in perfect clarity. I’m going and I’m taking him with me, and wherever you are the rest of your miserable life you can imagine me with him. Any others you’ll chase, you’ll know in your heart they will be mere pale imitations of me. Thesps in my shadow. I’m leaving, and I’ll be with him. I just wanted you to know. And he was RIGHT. That truly was the best and most cutting way he could hurt Lestat. Lestat thought of him with another man for the rest of eternity, until he withered away in a shack in the tatters of their New Orleans home, thought of him until it ate him up inside, driving him to ruin without appetite, drinking the bare minimum from rats, like what he gave him, thought of him and their daughter, the daughter they had together, forever — for the rest of time— Louis Louis Louis Louis Louis— Not a day went by where Lestat could be happy or fulfilled or live without thinking about Louis with someone else. Louis was right.

Brainstorming for that IwtV Daily s2 prompt thing

Not sure if I'll write anything or not. It'll depend on how hot it gets here and my confidence levels. Going to kind of give myself several options to work with and see if I'm feeling anything tomorrow

Relationships/Pairings

Louis/Lestat - hallucinations that are possibly reality, crashing the interview

Armand/Daniel - The push and pull of past and present, resentment and desire, how much changes and how much stays the same (a study)

Claudia/Madeleine - Falling in love, the fear of repeated mistakes, desire, what connects them together now that Claudia isn't a five-year-old, the push and pull of thirst, of desire

Scenes/Lines

Not completely sure what to do for this one because I read that amazing fic about the trial so now I am a crisis of confidence. Might be able to take the Loustat hallucinations vs. reality concept and use that here though

Outfit/Character Look

Claudia and the yellow dress re-imagined for post-war Paris.

Armand slowly morphing away from the black clothing to brighter styles

Theme/Theory

Nothing can ever be the same again even if some things stay the same

Memory is faulty, manipulated or not

Louis chose this strange penthouse set up, perhaps the penthouse is Trinity Gate (though this seems like a later season reveal)

Growing and moving forward despite committing the gravest sins against one another

Or perhaps despite healing old wounds will still reopen
