he’s performing bravado he’s performing being this kind of family man / eldest son / red blooded american male . even with his brother and sister who he GREW UP WITH. “i had never allowed myself to feel emotionally close to ANYONE.” he’s so dedicated to it that he regularly patronizes the same sex worker so people will think he’s attracted to women. and she’s his closest friend he’s not related to. so dedicated that he needs to pull a knife on his brother in the street. we literally do not see louis read books as a human. with lestat he cries at the opera he feels seen and wanted for the first time . “all these roles you conform to and none of them your true nature” like lestat does to some extent keep parts of that promise louis DOES gain things  just through starting to live w lestat and through the insurance of lestat’s capital. even though he’s still acting the businessman in public. he allows himself to be soo much softer in those six honeymoon years (and his mother judges him) and we barely glimpse it. bc louis’s narration omits it. and then w claudia he becomes completely removed from human affairs and i think this period from claudia’s pov where hes happy IS really genuine like this is probably the point in the show where he is performing the least. or minimum it’s the performance he enjoys the most. i think bc its a balance maybe? hes responsible for claudia’s well-being like he was for grace and paul and his mother but he’s her father not the pointe du lac family executor so he still gets to be the same self he is around lestat. doting. “it’s chiffon it has movement.” telling her love between men feels like love. without any defensiveness. lestat’s proprietary arm around his shoulders. they’re all kind of thriving here i think. then everything falls apart and he’s not performing bc hes depressed out of his mind. Then the end of episode five happens. Episode six and beginning of episode seven he’s also depressed out of his mind but now there’s the need to get everything back to normal to make their family work the way it used to before trust was broken. domesticity becomes the site of horror. where once it was freedom from having to perform aggressive masculinity now its hierarchy reinforced over and over. clean up this mess and come to coffin. i think this is the “performing being the submissive one in the relationship” era actually. and then end of episode seven i think it’s not even stepping up the performance its the removal of that barrier of resentment that the tense performance from earlier was providing. it’s letting himself go back to enjoying it. like he did with the honeymoon phase. letting himself be in love w lestat without the guilt and resentment thats festered since episode five. and letting that genuine submission be totally disarming. the fact that its genuine is why they (claudia and louis) win and why they fail. and this range is possible bc it takes place over the course of thirty+ years and jacob anderson is portraying ALL of it with aplomb . plus whatevers going on in dubai in the present (i think he is genuinely more normal about gender in the present bc you know its not the 1930s but whatever is happening with power is still an extreme performance and its bizarre and also exclusively for daniels benefit ??) i’m insane by the way.

“he had a way about him. and i was still very much under his power. we would drain the tenor for hours that night. lestat completely enthralled. myself pretending to be. afraid to disappoint. lestat was wrong. i was never going to be a natural. i was... a botched vampire.”

and then IMMEDIATELY no pause “i try to have a human dish every week.” [conversation about dessert]. Daniel: “alice. half of her eyebrow was blond, like a mutt. she always dyed it back to brown. i liked it when she left it alone.” shuts off his laptop. louis is looking at him with an expression of absolute bewilderment. then keeps eating the dessert which he has just said tastes like paste. And that’s the final beat of the entire episode. Hello?

people being like ohh louis is obfuscating when he says “i was being hunted” when he was actually being courted. no he WAS being hunted. theyre synonymous lestat’s courtship is predatory. what louis is obscuring is just that he enjoyed being hunted. bc he’s a little freak. and a libra.
