I really wish that everyone who is like "why is louis so closed up and closeted about his feelings for lestat" would actually analyze the show from louis' point of view
why doesnt he say "i love you"? because the last person he said that to jumped off a roof right in front of him, ya know his brother?
why does he feel so much shame about being with lestat? because he is a black catholic man living in the jim crow south america's own racial apartheid. Unlike other instances in historical fiction where queer men pretend to be friends, louis has to pretend to be lestat's valet aka his racial subordinate where he isnt even given the privilege to be considered his friend, not even his equal or equal partner
several instances of him "being proud" is him asserting his personhood and the rights he deserves. he hates the word fledgling because it makes him a subordinate to lestat. that doesn't mean he isnt proud: he is as you saw with the "no whites" sign, but he was violently punished for in canon by a race riot that destroyed the black community (literally!)
his (metaphor for an eating disorder) animal diet left him with a weakened libido, and the depression he fell into after Claudia left did the exact same. he wasnt denying lestat intimacy and sex as some punishment he was not in the mood in general! plently of people have the criticism that the show chose to remove ace representation by making the vampires sexual, yet seem to ignore louis' common ace/sex repulsed narrative of being cheated on because you wont put out
that doesn't mean that lestat cant feel hurt by his pushing and proding or his low libido and inability to say "I love you" but damn you all can take instances where louis wants to be considered an equal or you ignore the context of the world they live in to characterize him as the uppity emotional abuser which is frankly unfair and a very biased reading to the facts the story is providing at the moment

Fresh from the Lestat de Lioncourt Emotional Toolbox
Tumblr media
The only other tools in the toolbox are a dildo, a quarter of a bottle of grape Nyquil, and a box of “Disney Princesses” band-aids.

season one ends with a scene of lestat listening to the published book with an audible free trial. and then leaving an angry one star review that just says ‘ur full of shit’ on his account ‘crackedvampire’
then we fade to black.

This is what I was talking about.
Tumblr media
This is exactly why the whole "Queer characters can only be played by queer actors" argument, or the queerbaiting celebrities argument is not only unhelpful, it is actively harmful. You are not entitled to other peoples identity. You are forcing people to come out in order to protect their careers, when they may not have wanted to share that with the world. Real people can not queerbait. Real people can not be bad representations of themselves. Do not conflate how you treat fictional characters with how you are allowed to treat real people. We can not keep having the same conversation. Forcing people to come out or else face social consequences is Bad. Always. Everytime.
In this case, Kit is literally a teenager who has been facing overwhelming amounts of online abuse for not being open about his personal identity.
Im seeing it with other queer media too. With nicholas galitzin and taylor zakhar perez in the red white & royal blue movie, people demanding that they should have been recast with "actual queer actors" despite the fact that we do not know if they are or are not queer. We can never know until they tell us that they are, which they have not.
Im also seeing it with young royals. With the new season coming out later today, the speculation on omar and edvins sexuality and relationship is incredibly harmful and toxic. They are real people, please treat them like people instead of fictional characters you can write rambling, speculating paragraphs about.
I'll say it one more time.
You are not entitled to other people's identities.

WTF 🤬
Daily reminder that if you like amc's iwtv please consider going to their imdb page and give it some nice review because racists and homophobics bombarded the series with bad reviews so their score there is really low right now

They are basically calling out book readers and I'm for it. They had to make it blindingly obvious. I still love this show so much.
this is another reason why lestat is amazing horror antagonist: the audience who lacks empathy for the main/POV characters of color doesn't see it coming at all
you (white audiences) don't see the intricate nature of abuse at play here because you don't understand harm unless it is explicit and right in your face, the same way white people typically don't understand the intricate nature of racism and dehumanization until its full blown lynching or slurs (remind you of anyone? lestat not understanding why louis killed the alderman because he "said I did a good job")
its why people don't see the slave catcher parallels with lestat stopping claudia from leaving on the train to the north, or not notice the parallel between claudia's rapist and lestat in that sex scene with louis disassociating or seem to glide over claudia's feelings as to why her and louis are lestat's slaves (black trauma depicted like this, the understanding of transgenerational trauma, *chefs kiss*)
so yes the fear you felt at seeing the graphic abuse was intentional, that scene was needed to show you that all the red flags you missed through biases against these characters towards lestat and giving him grace over and over again, were not supposed to be missed at all
