I’m starting to feel like Louis is the real narcissist of the story

Maybe I’m behind in this revelation? I think it’s generally understood that there’s more to Lestat than what Louis can tell us. But I don’t know. After watching the Vampire Lestat, seeing Louis openly admit to Malloy how much “creative license” he took when telling his side of the story, or how often he insisted that his “readers” see certain things in a certain light as he described such monstrosities is really making me backtrack. I’m re watching seasons 1 & 2 of IWTV and seeing the pattern.

Notice how no matter what Louis does, he’s somehow always the victim of it? Yet, when Lestat faces many cruelties in kind, they’re simply the backstory as to why he became an abuser? Or how easily Louis seems to be insulted (I’m specifically thinking of his meltdown after speaking with the photographer dealer in season 2 episode 4)? When Louis has an outburst, it’s Lestat who must comfort him, who must make excuses for him. Louis is too quick to anger over little details for that to go unnoticed. Because why would he assume that Malloy thought he was trying to pass off stein photography off as his own for one or 2 pictures in his photography album that slipped in? It’s all a bit sus to me.

And most egregiously, if Lestat was so contemptuous as to be killed for it, then why, 70 years later, is Louis calling on him again, asking him to help him with the Claudia lookalike? Entertaining a rekindling of their former flame? His accent in those years has changed from what once felt authentic and native to contrived and “above it all.” I believe that is supposed to imply his maturity over time to viewers. Someone who’s done the work does not go back to an old version of themselves. Yet when he’s in the moment, he’s putting on his old way of speaking, using his charms to endear everyone around him, and appearing authentic in what I’m realizing is his actual mask.

Lestat gets his story told in TVL, yet it doesn’t feel nearly as self flagellating as Louis’ recollection. He may have committed abuses, but he seems capable of reflection in a way that doesn’t ultimately exonerate him the way Louis seems to try. He wrestles with the real shame of subjecting others to what was once committed against him. We do see him grumpy and brooding, but we also see Louis acting out and having huge outbursts over time too. Neither is innocent.

I don’t know. It just seems like Lestat is way too often on Louis mind for him to be able to successfully claim he’s truly innocent without concern. Especially given the original Louis was a white plantation owner. There is something about his story telling that gives away how he truly feels about himself. And it isn’t the perfect victim that he’d like you to think.

Anyone agree? Any extra details I might need to reflect on more?

Help me get my pet emergency medical care

This is my golden retriever, Rosie. She turns 5 in August.

This morning I found a large, hard lump under her chin after she winced when I pet her. She’s been lethargic, drooling, barely drinking water, and seems to have trouble using her tongue.

I’m terrified because six years ago my previous dog developed a very similar lump in almost the exact same place. It turned out to be an aggressive cancer, and we lost her just two weeks later.

I’m trying not to assume the worst, but I can’t ignore how similar this feels.

The timing couldn’t be worse. I’m recently unemployed, my account is overdrawn, rent is due in two days, and I can’t even afford the exam fee to get Rosie seen. I’ve applied for CareCredit, loans, and every resource I can think of, but I’ve hit a wall. I currently don’t have pet insurance, and applying now would require upfront payment or a waiting period. I plan to get her insurance after this.

I called my local free clinic and explained everything. They were kind, but they only offer services to pets belonging to people who are unhoused or disabled. But because I’m not technically homeless… I don’t qualify for help.

I can’t even walk into a regular vet or emergency clinic without money upfront.

All I want is to take her in asap and ensure her condition doesn’t deteriorate. If you feel compelled, please help.

Thank you for reading. Hug your dogs a little tighter today. ❤️ feel free to look through pics of my goofball.

I’m not sure if it was a sign from Hecate, or a monitoring spirit

I e had a bunch of life changes recently so I am very much at a crossroads and learning how to move into my highest timeline, so I’ve been working with Hecate lately. She always shakes things up at summer solstice for me. Well, the last two years at least. I recently cleaned up my altar and laid her some fresh offerings. Tonight when I came into m bedroom, a huge black spider was in my nightstand. I freaked out and killed it instinctively- but on further reflection, I wonder if it’s a sign or signal of some sort. I’ve heard a few channeled messages, one saying I’m coming into financial independence, and another saying someone from my past is still watching me. I don’t necessarily care about that one - Ive done the work on that to end it energetically, and I know I’m protected. So I do feel it may have been a sign from Hecate. I sprayed the spider with bleach and it was surprisingly stubborn, crawling in circles before finally dying. I personally think that she was trying to signal to me the invitation to co create my reality with her help, as I had just asked for help manifesting.

Now I feel super guilty. I did ask her for forgives and ask her to show me how I can make it up, or if I need to do more protection spell work for the other message. What can I look out for as a sign?

One car accident and a lost job away from losing everything

I hate making this, but I’m in a really difficult spot and could use help.

2025 was one of the hardest years of my life. I had to move 5 times because of unsafe living situations. Once from an abusive relationship, and the others from a retaliation case against a landlord that followed my attempts at relocating. I plan to take legal actions against them after resolving my current situation. Nevertheless, Earlier this year, things finally started stabilizing. I secured safe housing, and started trying to rebuild my life from scratch. In that time though I ended up taking on a lot of debt just to survive and pay for moving costs.

Then I got into a car accident that wasn’t my fault. The driver who hit me was uninsured, and because I own my car outright and didn’t have comprehensive coverage, I’m stuck covering the repairs myself. My trunk no longer closes properly, and the damage has made transportation stressful and difficult.

And now, on top of everything, I’ve just lost my job. I have nothing in savings. All my money was going into paying off debt.

My rent is due in 4 days, and I’m honestly terrified. I’m actively applying everywhere I can and trying to stay afloat, but right now I’m overwhelmed and out of options. I’ve been working gigs, but I won’t make up the difference in time.

I created this GoFundMe originally to help repair my car, but at this point it’s helping me survive while I try to get back on my feet again. I have housing, I’ve applied for unemployment (My claim won’t process until the end of the month, I applied for emergency consideration and was denied, I am trying to appeal it), and I’m receiving food stamps. My only emergency is upcoming rent. I have the majority, I just need $1000.

I’ll include photos, documentation, and the repair estimate for transparency.

Any help — even small donations or simply sharing this — would mean more than I can express right now. I’ve never had to ask for help like this before and I hope I never will again.
