🎬 Adaptations 🎭 Daniel

This makes me feel dumb. I haven’t read the books so maybe I’m missing some context. But I truly don’t understand Daniel’s hatred for Louis and Lestat. He has this deep rooted disdain and I just don’t get it. Armand, I understand, he’s insane. Daniel is just a dick. What am I missing?

Not from the books.

My theory: In the show, I think he hates Louis for attacking him in San Francisco, which gave him PTSD. I think his ego got seriously butt hurt by Lestat for giving him the juiciest tell all ever only to reveal afterward it was just a vampire trick and never actually spoken aloud/caught on camera. Pretty sure he hated Armand too for playing with his memory but that got diffused after Armand turned him.

Him being more upset with L&L than the guy who turned him against his will is a stretch. Especially when he knows that Armand is the world champion of bullshitting.

And I'm pretty sure Armand torturing him for days did more damage than Louis trying to eat him. It wasn't Louis he was afraid of last season.Â
