I was tagged by @translouisdpdl to share a snippet of my wip! I’m going to share the beginning of chapter four of Millenia-Gate. Louiiiis

Meanwhile, slightly before David’s video was posted, a minor discovery was made. Leastannoyingbookfreak on tumblr was still steadfast in her search for Louis, and she seemed to have made a revelation that her followers had been waiting for. 

“Omfg guys I think I may have finally solved the mystery.” Began leastannoyingbookfreak in her tumblr post. “I love to read, obviously, and so I watch a handful of book-tubers. I don’t watch YouTube very often, but I like to have it on when I’m doing busy work, cleaning my house, you know, so I’m not usually very focused on it. Just background noise. I had on one of these book-tubers I watch, MercyReads, and I started to get a really strong feeling that his voice was significant, like I’d heard it in a different context before. And then I realized—guys I might be crazy but I think this MercyReads guy might be the Louis we’ve been looking for. I’ll look into his account more to see if he says his name ever or gives us any clues, but yeah. I need to know if anyone else is seeing this.”

The consensus was that leastannoyingbookfreak was not delusional. If MercyReads wasn’t Louis, he had a strikingly similar voice. Same exact accent, same manner of speech, assertive yet quiet and small. MercyReads was a man perhaps in his early to mid 20s with pure black hair that reached slightly above his shoulders, wavy and curled at the ends. His eyes were a captivating green and he had delicate features, full lips, and an overall elegant, sweet quality. 

MercyReads was a small but relevant YouTube channel, fairly popular among the community he was a part of, yet niche because of the type of content he chose to focus on. “Book-Tube” is a bustling online community for young readers to discuss and explore their passion for reading, but the type of content that is especially successful is centered around YA fiction, especially videos that come from a negative angle. Negativity made numbers on booktube, as did relevancy—speaking about the biggest new trending books on Tiktok. MercyReads wasn’t that, his channel was unique in that he pandered to no one but himself. MercyReads enjoyed classics and poetry, the types of content you’d have to read for school. And he rarely if ever made videos about books he disliked. So he wasn’t huge, but there’s a niche for everything, and MercyRead’s videos were well made and exceptional within his niche. They were captivating even to those who would normally be uninterested in the topics he covered, his passion was infectious. MercyReads spoke eloquently and softly, but with a type of underlying fire that was enthralling to listen to.

It wasn’t hard to see why he would catch the attention of someone like Lestat, and yet the proposition that such a big, boisterous celebrity was in a secret relationship with this mild person who’s passion lied with western literary classics and John Keats was endearing as it was unbelievable. There were doubters of course, and investigators weren’t able to find proof beyond the resemblance in voice, but the majority of the community was strongly insistent that this small YouTuber was Lestat’s Louis.
