There aren't many black queers who do reactions to this series. So far, you and Andres El Rey are killing it! I'm looking forward to checking out more of your content in the future, keep doing what you're doing and ignore the hate, Latom! 👏

Thanks so much for the support!

Louis has some nasty ways about him. He's definitely taking the Lestat role in his new relationship. He has consistently used Armands feelings against him to get what he wants. My good sis Claudia has suffered more than Jesus. Nobody on this show has her back besides Madelyne. I wished she never joined the damn coven.

I agree that Louis is mirroring Lestat a lot in his relationship with Armand, but I don’t think he’s intentionally using Armand’s feelings to get what he wants . Lestat gave Louis whatever he wanted to keep him at his side. Armand is taking the same approach, giving him whatever he wants in order to keep Louis with him. It’s why Armand is willing to take the submissive role in the relationship despite being way older and stronger than Louis (I also think that Armand might have a kink for playing the submissive role due to his past trauma with his maker). It’s obvious that Louis is still healing from his relationship with Lestat and probably shouldn’t be hopping into a relationship with somebody else while carrying Lestat with him, but Louis doesn’t know who he is when he’s alone and with Lestat ‘dead’ and Claudia accepting the coven as her new family, he had to find somebody to fill the void and Armand was happy to take the place because he had a void that needed to be filled too.

Love hearing all your perspectives on the show! Although I may have to sacrifice reviewing the next episode in exchange for house of the dragon tomorrow. How many of you are GOT fans ?

It was never "you and me" from Louis to Claudia, it's always been "You and him" between Louis and Lestat/Armand 💔 I'm wondering why "you get your gifts from your maker" doesn't seem to have passed on from Lestat to Louis? Armand has taught him the fire trick but why not anything else?

The show has kind of changed things from how the vampire powers work in the book... In the book vampire gifts can't be taught. You do just get them from the blood of your maker. But the show has obviously changed things slightly because Louis was able to be taught the fire gift. He also has the mind gift in the show where as he did NOT have it in the books, IIRC... So the show has kind of shown how vampire powers work and are transferred but not in super explicit details so it's a little bit tricky to figure out EXACTLY how they work. All we really know is that the vampire powers DON'T work like they do in the books... so we can't really use the books as a template. It seems like certain gifts can be taught if the fledgling has powerful enough blood. 🤷‍♀️

Enjoyed your reaction! Thanks for posting Really looking forward to your ep5 thoughts!
