Looking at this production still, they must have filmed the trial under TdV scene… another cut scene ;A;
From Interview with the Vampire:
“And then I saw Lestat- the blow that was more crippling than any blow. Lestat, standing there in the center of the ballroom, erect, his gray eyes sharp and focused, his mouth lengthening in a cunning smile. Impeccably dressed he was, as always, and as splendid an his rich black cloak and fine linen. But those scars still scored every inch of his white flesh. And how they distorted the taut, handsome face, the fine, hard threads cutting the delicate skin above his lip, the lids of his eyes, the smooth rise of his forehead. And the eyes, they burned with a silent rage that seemed infused with vanity, an awful relentless vanity that said,’See what I am.’
“‘This is the one?’ said Santiago, thrusting me forward.
"But Lestat turned sharply to him and said in a harsh low voice,’I told you I wanted Claudia, the child! She was the one!’ And now I saw his head moving involuntarily with his outburst, and his hand reaching out as if for the arm of a chair only to close as he drew himself up again, eyes to me.
…“‘She did it to me, Louis. She did it to me. You didn’t! She has to die’ said Lestat, his voice becoming thin, rasping, as if it were an effort for him to speak.’”
From The Vampire Lestat:
"Get clothing for him,” Armand said. His hand was resting on my shoulder. “He must look presentable, our lost lord,” he told them. “That was always his way.” …
“You will say what I have told you to say.”
It was a mob tribunal of monsters, white-faced demons shouting accusations, Louis pleading desperately, Claudia staring at me mute, and my saying, yes, she was the one who did it, yes, and then cursing Armand as he shoved me back into the shadows, his innocent face radiant as ever.
“But you have done well, Lestat. You have done well.”
Warner needs to release a new blu-ray transfer with lossless audio and extras including deleted scenes right now.
You started with The Queen of the Damned, or with Interview with the Vampire? Definitely read the first 3 books in the series, those are are good.
The “crackyness” that we make fun of it for sort of happens at book 4, Tale of the Body Thief, which is still a great story (especially compared to the later books)…
I think you should read it all. Especially if there are certain characters you’re beginning to feel more of an attachment to. If you love Armand, for example, you should read The Vampire Armand. If you love Marius, reading Blood & Gold would be of interest to you.
I think any VC fan should read them all, read lots of fanfic, and decide on their own what they consider to be “the real story.” Your headcanon may vary from mine, but that doesn’t make you a lesser/greater fan. You can ignore the crackyness.
Loving the characters makes you a fan *u*
lokitapendragon: #vampire chronicles #ALL OF THIS #because I adore these books but good grief #you either pick and choose or go crazy
I have to confess that I’ve expected way too much from you and I’ve gotten only hate. I’m glad you’re out of my life for three years by now. (For the anonymous confession thingy!!)
omg I thought that was directed at ME at first and had a little panic attack! Then remembered that I haven’t even been on tumblr for 2 yrs, haven’t known you for more than that!
FYI people: the symbol in that Ask was “For every ∯ I get I will say/confess something without specifying for whom it is meant.”
Headcanon: this is what he was listening to when he met Seth and Fareed.
#Headcanon accepted. Also, this is what he insisted that they play to accompany his performance. "You people do have a ‘compact disc’ player, right? My copy of this is scratched but it won’t skip on THIS SONG.“
ooc; Okay but Louis won the “irritate Armand” game once by just being 100% apathetic for decades until one night Armand was like “i GIVE UP i CAN’T DO THIS ANYMORE” and left him and Louis’ only reaction was chewing on grass like a fucking cow
