SEND IN HEADCANON + A WORD / PHRASE FOR A RELEVANT HEADCANON ABOUT MY MUSE.

speaking mostly about the time between interview with the vampire (daniel interviewing louis) to queen of the damned when armand has finally turned daniel- personally, i believe that louis’ opinion of daniel/relationship with daniel says a lot more about himself than it does of daniel. louis can’t fathom why anyone would want to be a vampire for a prolonged period of time. when he begins to think he understands, something always happens to make him double-back on his journey to accept who/what he is. so, any bitterness between them at first exists purely because of louis’ own ‘crippled facilities’. 

daniel, i’d say, was also a pretty foolhardy human. it takes a lot of gumption to listen to an immortal creature bellyache for literally hours and then immediately say something that proves you missed the whole point. louis had been… definitely hoping to garner some form of validation out of the act of being interviewed but, daniel’s reaction completely ruins it for him. but then, i’ve never been sure if the validation he was hoping to receive through the act was from daniel, or if it was much more… just part of a bigger plot in his head to try and push lestat to see things fully his way; there are a lot of bigger decisions that louis and lestat make during the 70′s/80′s that can also be coded as power play moves against one another because they’re both assholes. louis’ entire interview is meant to be very clearly damning of lestat- but it’s also louis’ own way of ‘reaching out’, it’s- a lot of things tbh. it was a very layered decision, because one has to keep in mind that louis is someone who’s always secluded himself.

when he finds out armand turned daniel, he’s more irritated than anything. but i’m also 120% sure he still blames himself to some capacity for daniel being a vampire.
