EDIT: Under the cut is a quote from Blood Communion, dealing with the Replimoids and their way of procreation. As @lynnenne pointed out it can be triggering. However, I'd like to point out that both book Louis and show Louis are (supposedly) fine with the "farm" (dungeons)... which is why I posted it.
”Now the slave, even with her diminished intelligence and total lack of ambition or curiosity, nevertheless knows pain and seeks to avoid it, and appears to want only the simplest comforts and peace. The slave likes nothing better than to sit outside in my garden and watch the movement of the trees in the breeze.”
“Is the slave capable of anger, or malice, or the will to do harm?”
“Apparently not,” she responded. “But how can we know? I can tell you think that if I were to present you with a present of such a tenth-generation Replimoid she would be content as your guest forever supplying you with blood whenever you desired it. Teskhamen has put that to the test. There is a slight response in the slave to being praised for obedience, a certain happiness in knowing that her blood has nourished another, but almost no real sense of the difference between herself and other clone children or blood drinkers or incarnate spirits such as Gremt. To the tenth-generation slave, all beings register socially in terms of what they say and how they smile or frown.”
“This is a power that could be misused in hideous ways,” I said.
> Blood Communion
Personally I think this is what The Farm refers to in the show.
Replimoids (clones) of the tenth generation being kept, happy to give blood, to be fed on. Immortal in their own right.
Obviously there is a strong comment to be / could / should be made by the show here - slaves kept for feeding. Similar to the evildoers they keep in the dungeons later, those decidedly not immortal but used for them to experience the kill. Similar to what Armand did, too, with the boy he kept. And what Damek is for in Dubai, too.
It is also interesting that Lestat notes the potential for abuse here - even though Kapetria has clearly explored and thought through it. Has worked with Fareed and Teskhamen. And Amel.
It will be very telling to see where the show will put Armand I think - Armand being something of the antagonist in the first books after all. Now, obviously that changes later. But… the Dubai situation really carries a lot of weight - for truth and reconciliation as Louis calls it, but also in regards to the feeding-based concerns, and the way Louis is kept - or keeps himself.

Canon: Severus seems like someone who'd own a cat with the biggest - brightest eyes. Late at night, when he's overworked (always) and is tired of all the writing, brewing and grading the cat just looks up and purrs. He'd then look at the cat with his tired eyes, gently pet him with his fingers and smile softly at the creature, so very happy to be around him. He'd then maybe share a story about his happiest day or about that one time he laughed his heart out.

People are talking about how reading Dungeon Meshi gives them an internal monologue Senshi for eating properly I think we all need to adopt an internal monologue Chilchuck at work. Like the boat is literally sinking and he's just watching it happen because he's on his lunch break.
