Omg wow, nice work, luthi69! I had no idea it was that many pages… (tho I do have 3,790 posts)
You deserve an award for digging through it all. I admit I do that, too, when I find someone I like I eat through their entire archive *u*
What should you do with your life? Everything! Anything! I enjoy the VC stuff YOU post, too, so keep posting VC-related posts [LIKE THIS ONE] for us ❤
You can also keep following this blog, too, I do have a healthy queue scheduled, and I end up succumbing to daily fresh posting (tho I TRY to keep it down to 10/day, for sanity).
Is there an afterlife? I once thought near constantly of this subject. Do those that I kill ascend to a heaven, or am I completely eradicating them from any semblance of existence?
Is there a hell, or perhaps might hell be on Earth? If it were so, would that not make immortality a punishment? It seemed fitting to me at one time, anyhow’ that feeling that my life might very well be hell, and some devil was at work prompting an endless cycle of death that I undoubtedly enjoyed, yet loathed that I did.
I became content, however, in the thought that there existed no higher beings, and everything that is simply “is.” The appearances of Claudia’s apparition—if it was she that Jesse Reeves encountered in the first place—shook that belief that had given me a semblance of peace for years. Yes, of course, if Claudia could appear as a spirit, that would mean there is, in fact, an “afterlife.”
Lestat claims to have seen God and the devil. Perhaps he did. Perhaps he was merely deranged.
I don’t know, and I suspect I never will.
So rather than trying to open my heart, I’m gonna lock it with a key. So that only the special ones, can ever get through to me
I mean this in the kindest way… LOUIS IS A BAD ASS MOTHERFUCKER OK so people need to let go of this singular-mopey-tortured-soul-Louis thing!
Your headcanon may vary of course, but this is my interpretation…
I still haven’t finished Prince Lestat but I know some of the spoilers. I won’t share them here except to say that I understand Louis gets a good chapter to himself. He’s in Prince Lestat and he does make the impression of someone who is comfortable in his own skin and generous in his interactions with others, so far as I’ve read.
Aside from that, Louis shook off his mortal coil as early as in IWTV. When still but a fledgling, he stood up to Lestat during the Freneire incident, “And so I physically grappled with Lestat. I held him… I held him in the dark, where he spit at me and cursed at me…” Lestat sounds like an angry cat. That must have been fun. NOT.
He helped Claudia escape from Lestat. He burned down the Theatre des Vampires in revenge for Claudia. Etc.
In my favorite fanfic and RP threads, Louis is a BAMF. He doesn’t let anyone step on his toes, and he enjoys time to himself, but he’s not merely a hermit the sum of his library. He’s protective and nurturing of Lestat (and others) in physical AND emotional ways, which are reciprocated in kind.
Louis is at odds with everything. He always has been. Even in his darkest, saddest moments, there was the little flame of his ego and will to survive. It’s one of his most endearing qualities.
I think it’s this ego and indomitable nature that draw Lestat – and others – back to him again and again. Also, Louis is very pretty ❤
