everybody has that one fictional character that they irrationally adore above all others and will defend to the death and you just get super happy and excited whenever you see their face on your dash
Lestat: Joyeux anniversaire Nicki! Because today is your birthday you deserve something special. Only for you I bought one of the best wines in France and one fresh baguette ❤ Come and get your birthday wine ~ you can open the bottle with your mouth if you want >D~
//okay but honestly how cool would it be if Louis’ dark gift was empathy all along??? Like, he obviously had the hardest time getting used to killing- harder than pretty much any other vampire we know of. And like, we know that when vampires feed, they kinda connect with the spirit of their victim- but what if Louis could do that without feeding? Like, he can’t read their thoughts, but what if he could feel their souls? What if he truly does have “the gift of knowing others’ suffering”???
And Lestat brushes it off like “lol ur just an emotional fledgling, chill out” and then Louis never ends up telling anyone about it lol and doesn’t bother mentioning it to Daniel bc he doesn’t think it’s important
This is really interesting, and Armand and Vittorio can do this to an extent, so it does exist in universe that you can kinda feel people’s souls/auras. It’s also telling when Armand mentions how Louis can spellbind people by accident haha. So yeah I could totally see him having some other version of telepathy that isn’t strictly verbal and maybe just never know how to articulate it.
:: get up, look at various parts of the internet while eating breakfast and drinking tea ::
:: see random FB post with a webcomic referencing Bonnie Tyler’s “Total Eclipse of the Heart”
:: BE EARWORMED FOR THE REST OF THE DAY ::
Look, if I have to go through this, so do the rest of you.
Ack! I’ve been earwormed! ~~o.O~~
As retaliation: you might be interested to know (if u don’t already, and u probably do, but anyway) that Total Eclipse is a *~VAMPIRE LOVE SONG~* (@vampiressuck24 informed us about 2 yrs back)
“And I need you now tonight And I need you more than ever And if you only hold me tight We’ll be holding on forever…
Forever’s gonna start tonight”
This confirms everything my angsty 15 year old self believed the first time she heard this song. QUAIL BEFORE MY YOUTHFUL ANGST, BOMBAST, AND UNDERSTANDING OF CLICHES.
*grabby hands* JOIN US BRYAN!! WE NEED YOU!! He’s quoting AR, he is clearly one of us or an honorary one of us ok i don’t make the rules
I heard that Bryan left American Gods, and Hannibal S4 isn’t happening yet so like… what is the holdup?
Update, yeah, Bryan is at least a *~casual~* Anne Rice/VC fan:
Ex. A
^“There’s a lot of Lestat and Louis in Hannibal” !!!
Ex. B: This is in 2 parts bc he @’d her and then mentioned her advice:
Ex. C: And how did he get that advice? HE FRICKIN’ COLD-CALLED HER:
Ex. D: He was psyched when the Rices announced that the adaptation was happening ❤
Ex. E: Being supportive of a VC TV series:
Ex. F: Bc reasons…
Ex. G: He’s on the same page with her politically, and politics do play a role and matter in the media, I’m sure it will be incorporated into any adaption:
you: this generation wants to fuck vampires and shit, what happened to when vampires were scary?
me, an intellectual: vampire stories literally developed as a way to explore anxieties and fears around sex, you’re supposed to want to fuck them, that’s the point
