ooc; Never forget that the very first words in VC were Louis saying “I see”
The Tale of the Body Thief – LOL
Ooc; one of my favourite parts in the The Tale of the Body Thief is when Lestat burns Loius’ little shack down. He gathered priceless art so they won’t burn and uses Louis’ own candles to burn down the place while uttering:
“Oh, you deserve this, you treacherous ungrateful bastard!”
Followed by:
“Louis, I wish I could burn you! I’d do it! Oh, if only I knew where you lie by day!”
Lestat and Louis use fire to get back at each other. It must be love!
♛ That was a particularly dark moment for us. I still bear a scar – albeit figurative – for that scathing betrayal, even as I’ve come to understand the logic of his decision at the time, but giving him a taste of his own kerosene certainly helped.
I feel so intensely the delights of shutting oneself up in a little world of one’s own, with pictures and music and everything beautiful.

My boyfriend was inspired when he saw that pic I reblogged earlier… so here’s a version with Actual Daniel. 😛

ONE SONG: Edith Piaf, Hymne à l’Amour
TWO MOVIES: The Pianist, Spirited Away
THREE TV SHOWS: I confess that commercials limit my enjoyment of television, they’re an assault on the senses, but at any rate, I’ll choose shows I access through commercial-free means: Frasier, Poker Night in America, and Married w/ Children. There are moments when I completely understand Al Bundy, particularly under the onslaught of Peggy Bundy’s insatiable demand for physical affection *sighs*
FOUR ANIMALS: cats, cicadas (such music they make), horses, and Lestat. Oh, I can’t choose Lestat? The case could be made that he is an animal. I could provide second opinions on that. Alright, lions. *smirks*
FIVE FOODS: Coffee, tea, the scent of freshly baked bread, bananas are aesthetically pleasing, the sound of pistachio shells being cracked open.

(♛ Lestat here, darlings! Always happy to inform you of a few more of my favorite things *air kiss*)
one song: “You May Be Right” – Billy Joel, “You may be right/I may be crazy/Ho!/But it just may be a lunatic you’re looking for.” I relate to this song on a deeply spiritual level, mes petits.
two movies: The War of the Roses, (trust me on this, it is a beautiful unfurling of a divorcing couple that cannot seem to leave eachother), Dances with Wolves (will always be deeply moving).
three tv shows: ER (yes, it’s old, but so am I), Oz, the Daily Show (where else would I get my current events?)
four animals: dogs, dogs, dogs, dogs, okay, alright…. mastiffs, dalmations, german shepherds, irish setters *grins*
five foods: Seeing as I chose victim types the last time I did this… foods that I never got to try, and look intriguing to me by their smell, appearance, and/or texture: rocky road ice cream, vegan meat-substitutes like seitan, sushi (so artfully prepared, more sculpture than food), modern wedding cake with fondant icing, watermelon.

Who is your favorite VC character and why? (Mine is Lestat :D)
Short answer: S A M E here.
Long answer: SAAAAAAAAME HEEEEEEERE. It wasn’t always this way. I had a mother once wtf self? I still do. And movie!Louis, he had a wife. He was mortal, the same as she, and SO WAS I.
AR made us what we are, didn’t she? *sobs*
I digress… lol…
I answered this a little differently awhile back, when sonicdreamworld asked me who my fave was in IWTV alone. I think Claudia drew me into the whole series, I identified with her first bc I was 11, and felt mature for my age, and wanted to be taken seriously, and all that frustration that goes along with that. I was obsessed with antagonists at that point in my reading life, so I of course loved the friction between Lestat and everyone Claudia.
In TVL Lestat had me at Hello, the little bastard. So many of his character traits were in line with mine (tactlessness, infallible optimism, hawtness, etc.), I felt I’d found my spirit animal. So much the better that other people feel this way about him, too! I feel a definite connection with others who have, for better or worse, laid their affections with him ❤
Like Louis, for example, you know Lestat is his fave, too!

seem to be confused.
