✾ – Why I chose my character

antoineandthepiano:

//That’s a very good question. I’d been on tumblr for some years on another blog and created my own original materials – it wasn’t a writing or fandom related blog / page. 

I’d always loved Anne Rice and started reading VC when I was 11. It helped me get through a lot of things in my life and overcome a lot of emotional pain. I knew with the VC characters I’d never be alone. [VC NERDDDDDD].

After coming back home after my trip of America I was inspired again to read VC, especially after seeing New Orleans. I had my copy of Prince Lestat delivered in November last year. I ate up the entire book as fast as I could! It was disappointing in so many way but I still enjoyed it. 

The story that really got to me was Antoine’s. It was a very short part of the novel, yet the ending of his story was amazing. I was jumping with joy when Armand greeted him at TG. Around this time I was looking for Interview with the Vampire memes and I came across i-want-my-iwtv. Through this page I found the fandom. I read and read and read threads for a few months. I wanted to be apart of it all. At first I thought I’d I would come on, however I talked myself out of it a few times. Until I just convinced myself that I wanted to be apart of the fandom. I picked Antoine because 1. there was no Antoine and 2. I could relate to him a lot. 

My favourite character is Armand, but there were already so many talented / amazing Armands. I knew I couldn’t match them in terms of staying true to the character. I never thought I would have written so much with Antoine. I though everyone would ignore me. Everyone has been so nice! 

SIDE NOTE: I’m spending 18 months on writing a novel. I hope to be published in under a year. It has nothing to do with he supernatural or vampires, but I hoped that joining the Fandom would improve my writing. 

^This is so sweet! I am so honored that my madness this blog opened the door for you. WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME.

DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR? (singing starts at 1:38)

Non più andrai, farfallone amoroso/You won’t go any more, amorous butterfly

…Lestat knows this entire song. 

Tom does our beloved Lestat so much justice here. That he can be so joyous at such a bizarre moment, to the point of dancing w/ a corpse (especially considering how vampires have little tolerance for even being NEAR dead bodies), really shows how much sunshine he really does have bursting inside him. He’s elated that Louis is FINALLY GETTING IT.

Also, re: *~Butterflies~*

Those 2 dogs Louis kills instead of the gorgeous older lady?

They’re papillons. French for “butterfly.”

That lady even says that and translates for us: “My papillons, my butterflies, you killed them! Ohhh noooo…!” Butterflies go through metamorphosis; so does everyone who gets turned into a vampire in this movie.
