![[TvTropes] I Love You, Vampire Son:
Lestat not only loves Louis, he turned him specifically so he could have an eternal lover and companion. They both acknowledge that there's a vampire father-son dynamic (Louis: "I was a baby bird in Lestat's nest"; Lestat: "I put you on this Earth") in addition to their romantic/sexual relationship. Of course, it's a rather toxic love as a result. A TV critic from The Guardian had this observation:
The amour fou that flowers between Louis and Lestat — alternating between hungry desire, fussy annoyance and the flirty bickering that bridges the gap from one to the other — rehashes many of the film's insights about makeshift family units in the queer community, particularly in how a younger man can find both partner and father figure in an elder. (Lestat is, ultimately, a vampire daddy.)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:3qtzqzpnwozxqfajoknvcq5u/bafkreihz4zd3qncorxzli6t5oujphjbed7zu5mckoroloc3l5vbdhyidbi)
