One day, von Krolock heard that there were many other Krolocks in the world. They talked over each other and decided to fight each other. Only those who win can keep the name Krolock.
“I felt an arm around my throat suddenly. And I felt Louis’ body pivot, and I heard the sound of his fist strike the preternatural skin and bone behind me, heard the whispered curse.” - TVL
guuuuyyyys why do we not talk about possibly the coolest thing Louis does in the trilogy - fucking DECK a vampire that grabs Lestat. big thanks to @emileesaurus for reminding me how much I love this bit :)
it’s also v interesting to me from a character analysis perspective that Louis does punch the vampire… I have zero fight experience so if someone grabbed my husband around the neck, I would try and wrench their arm away. to punch the guy with zero hesitation, Louis must be very very confident in his ability to land the punch (I would be afraid that at such close quarters I’d accidentally punch my husband lmao) and in the strength of the punch.
essentially what I’m saying is that Experienced Brawler Louis is absolutely canon and uhhhh it’s cool as hell???
yknow, some fanfics imply or even outright state that Herbert has some ability to see other peoples dreams so he saw Alfreds Carpe Noctem dream, and he never seems to mind which is pretty impressive because if I was a gay vampire with no friends and then a really cute guy who I could potentially romance finally showed up at my decrepit castle in the middle of nowhere and he even stayed the night but then he had a sex dream about my DAD i think i would walk into the sun
