Remembering that now lestat was turned whn he was 34 he and nicki were probably together for like 14 years… and that it took him a hundred years to try again… and that he’s more connected to music than theatre and plays in this version 😵💫😵💫😵💫 like imagine youre lestat and you are deeply in love with your first love your husband of 14 years the love of your life and you have a job you love and you are happy you are so so debilitatingly happy and suddenly you are taken away from all of it and you are thrust into this life of killing and monstrosity and then he loses his mind and dies and dies and dies over and over again and you try to save him but he only gets worse and in the end when he dies for the final time he dies without his mind and hating you. Like personally i couldnt do it

so it looks like perhaps madeleine gets turned by both louis and claudia this time, and she is their fledgling. it's an interesting change in a lot of ways, not least because of all the previous emphasis of the bond between maker and fledgling. it's unclear to me how much of the bond is real vs louis just using that to cope with the fact he was still able to love lestat, in spite of everything. but it's interesting to think how splitting that between he and claudia might allow him to maintain that thread - of course it wouldn't be the same split three ways, right? and what would that mean for things like makers not being able to read their fledglings' minds? would that apply to both louis and claudia? was that part of the appeal to claudia or an unfortunate side effect she put up with so as to still be involved in the making? given how makers are often compared to parents, it also in a weird way makes louis and claudia co-parents, further making it harder to fix just one label like parental or sibling to their relationship.
