Curate, connect, and discover
What I love most about the finale is how it shows Louis finally on his own and content. Claudia calls him out for it multiple times, “who are you without me” who is Louis alone, because he never gets a chance to find out between his relationships to his family then lestat then Claudia then armand. Louis is always having to perform a role for those he loves and he has no idea who he is alone. The whole “yes maitre” roleplay with armand divorces him even further from who he is, forcing him back into the role of Louis the pimp.
But instead of going back to lestat Louis decides to be on his own, to fully be himself, and the redecorated apartment full of colour and pictures of Claudia and his brother is a beautiful expression of this.
was going through my drafts and i found this
sw*fties beefing with Anne Rice's malesona saddens me. do they not know their history?? do they not know who originated the "unethical blond musician with terrible lyrics" schtick??? no respect for 266 year-old dead people smh
everyone is rightfully excited about finally getting rock star Lestat, but where's the love for legendary human lawyer, Christine? procurer of such oddities as social security cards, and driver's licenses. without her, blondie could only dream of wasting his fortune on leather pants and body glitter. thank you, human lawyer Christine.
quite literally the first thing i thought of when i saw the original
