Dear god, I’m so happy ! You post not long ago, a picture of a “Vampire Companion” guide remember ?! :D thanks to you, I’ve just find one and ordered it ! :3 thank you so much ! Merci beaucoup !
You’re so welcome!
It’s a handy resource. I ought to reread it. (Y’all can get it on Amazon.)
It was probably intended to be the answers to questions AR gets alot about VC, plus some behind-the-scenes info and headcanons she had at the time. I’m not sure if it lines up with canon, but a good resource to have with your other VC books anyway!
Found some Armands, can’t remember if I’ve ever posted these? I don’t think so?
Tom Cruise as Lestat de Lioncourt | Interview with the Vampire (1994)
Okay, so let’s talk about Tom Cruise for a minute.
One of the things I love about this movie is that the scenes with Lestat make it SO different if you go into them on Lestat’s side. Tom Cruise nailed it so hard and I recall hearing that he read the books for research? So he had such a deeper grasp on Lestat’s personality than if they’d only used the Interview source material and taken Louis’s word on Lestat’s personality and temperament. There’s so much subtext to these two characters that you don’t really get from Interview alone because Louis is such an unreliable narrator*. But for example, the scene with the hookers: Louis makes Lestat out to be this horrifying monster and it’s like such a heartbreakingly different scene if you go into it on Lestat’s side and realize that he’s trying to help. PLZ CHILD PLZ EAT SOMETHING! And they drop a teeny clue earlier in the movie about how Lestat kills evildoers and it’s subtle and I’m not sure if everyone who hasn’t read the book picks it up? But knowing that going into the scene and being able to deduce that these women deserve to die makes it so different.
And there are so many little clues in their scenes about how much he truly cares for Louis, and even just his acting like YOU CAN JUST SEE IT IN HIS FACE HOW MUCH HE ADORES LOUIS and it’s just like so fucking special. Like the part where he drains the rat into the glass, he’s doing that to help, and the look he gives Louis when they have the “there’s nothing in this world now that doesn’t hold some-” “-fascination” exchange UGH. he’s basically like 😍😍😍😍😍
* I MEAN, DEPENDING WHICH ONE OF THESE IDIOTS YOU DECIDE TO BELIEVE. The options are A) Louis is salty as fuck and Lestat is actually like a mostly-loveable happy vampire dude, or B) Lestat is bipolar as fuck and everything Louis said was true and we get to see Lestat’s bullshit behavior unfolding later in the series and we see the way he packages it as if it’s normal because he’s an egomaniac. IDK WHATEVER. Point is, even when Lestat is doing atrocious things, his sense of humor is such a strong voice in the series, and it makes you like him, so what I’m saying is that it was amazing that Tom Cruise played it the way he did, and that the crew obviously used extra source material to get that bit of his personality, and if this movie had turned into a series it would’ve been believable later on when you learn that Lestat is a silly jackass. ❤
It’s something that could’ve been neglected so easily and like I’m forever the happiest and luckiest losernerd that I got the rare Excellent Adaptation for a book I love to death.
@i-want-my-iwtv ❤❤❤ words fail me
thank you so much for this beautiful card. I love @ashetray’s work.I wasn’t around too much and the past months have been filled with work in order to keep my mind from mourning a family member.
You put a smile on my face with this gift and I return daily to your blog because it’s the light that I need, maybe more than I thought ❤
You’re so very welcome! Glad it had the desired effect! *u* I try to make this blog an escape from reality, for entertainment. (Sometimes I do post more serious things, but in general, just fun and appreciation for VC!)

Hello again Lestat and Louis, and any other vampires around. I am curious about the relationships between you all. Is your coven (don’t know if that’s the right word) polygamous, or is it a friends with benefits type deal? Also Louis, what was your reaction to Lestat’s tattoo?
♛Only Louis and I have access to this account, and he would tell me not to kiss and tell. Should I? Do either?
I would say we’re more polyamorous than polygamous. Our idea of fidelity is different than for mortals. Or my own idea of fidelity is different than others in the coven.
One could call us a coven, with smaller, fluid groupings within it. Tribe. Collective. Coven. I’ve always found the word “coven” as more applicable to those who perform rituals and religious rites together, which we do, occasionally, but not in any kind of Sunday School regularity. We don’t crawl around in filth under a cemetery and worship Satan, that’s for sure.
More than that I leave to your imagination *winks*
Louis still hasn’t told you about the tattoo prank? I’ll remind him. I’ll leave notes all over his coffin, that always gets his attention whether or not he plans to sleep in it.
