#and then Louis never learned to use it bc he didn't realize it was A Thing so he just continues to Suffer

if i was a writer on amc’s iwtv and i wanted to give louis cool vampire powers i simply would’ve magnified his “gift of knowing others’ suffering” into an actual empathic dark gift. RIP to those bastards who butchered his character but i’m different.

#every few months i simply HAVE to bring up my Big Brain Theory that louis actually does have empathic powers #it would've been such a genius way for the show to establish that louis is Full Vampire without stripping him of his foundational qualities #Louis has always had a hard time disconnecting from his victims but it's not as straightforward as the mind gift #it makes total sense to me that Louis could have the power to absorb human emotions and lestat just dismissed it lmfao #and then Louis never learned to use it bc he didn't realize it was A Thing so he just continues to Suffer #they even could've kept the camp and humor with louis 'accidentally spellbinding' mortals like he does in the books!! #literally anything would've been better than what they did with the food/sex/home bullshit asfdagfchvsbcdkjahsbdc
