I am pleased you’re distracting yourself and feeling somewhat better – long may it continue – and very pleased you’ve posted your review here, because I wanted to share it with @i-want-my-iwtv and this makes it easier. It’s a very well-written review!
Oh cool! Thanks @katzenfabrik. I enjoyed @bluestockingcouture’s review, even tho I haven’t finished reading PLROA myself (I love being spoiled tho, so no worries there).
Yes, ppl, send me links to your PLROA reviews, I want to make a masterpost.
Bonjour! (Ok so now that you’ve set foot past the threshold, you’re going to have to read the books to really get involved in this fandom. There’s far too much in canon that’s not in movie!IWTV.)
But for funsies let’s consider it: Where did Lestat go and what did he do after he got control of the car? Well, geographically, he was heading away from San Francisco on the Golden Gate Bridge and dawn was approaching rapidly, so he would’ve had to stop and find shelter on the other side ASAP. He probably had to bury himself somewhere in the Kirby Cove Campground. I don’t think he would’ve had enough time to turn Daniel that night. Maybe he tied Daniel up somewhere nearby, or maybe Daniel agreed to stand by and keep watch for the day? FANFIC/FANART REQUEST.
[X] So technically, and I hate to break it to ya, but Lestat *riding off into the sunrise* w/ Daniel is not canon. They added that to the end of the movie to end on a lighter note than they might have otherwise.
In the book, Daniel goes looking for Lestat in NOLA and finds Armand instead, hilarity ensues.
Plot and ships would have had to shuffle around to accommodate a Lestat/Daniel ship. I ship them as a BroTP, if that does anything for ya.
The night she’s turned, Louis tries to get Madeleine to share a coffin with him (not out of love it seems, but just that the sun is rising and he doesn’t want her to wreck herself), but we don’t know if he’s successful with that, the scene ends without it being confirmed.
After that, I don’t think Louis mentions the sleeping arrangements, but doubt Madeleine would sleep alone at that point. So either with Claudia or Louis, but I headcanon that the night of Madeleine’s turning was the end of Louis sharing his coffin with Claudia ;A;
Wow, thanks for this! Lestat seems to be pretty in line with the traits associated with ENTJs you’ve listed there. Louis seems very much like a libra as you’ve described it, too.
It makes some sense if Armand is ENTJ too, I think some of his friction w/ Lestat is bc they are more alike than they might like to admit.
♛I love decorating my body with jewelry and clothing, why not tattoos? The artistry with some of them has become quite stunning. Especially the ‘watercolor’ methods. Abstract or specific, body art is very much art. I like biting directly into it on my victims, too. These neck tattoos… *licks lips*
A little story for you… I discovered sometime in the 90’s that we can be tattooed, but that the tattoo will fade away entirely during the deathsleep. Daniel may have been involved. Of course we decided that I absolutely had to get a large tattoo across my chest that read, “Property of Louis”in huge black calligraphic lettering, just to see Louis’ reaction. When I spread open my shirt to reveal the work of art, every drop of blood drained from his face!
He was frozen in that special moment before the judgment begins. It was a sight to behold. Instead of lay in with the judgment as usual, he actually shifted into damage control, terrified it would last forever, and immediately started looking into laser-removal treatments! He fell asleep at the computer that morning and had to be carried safely to bed.
How relieved was he when my branding had disappeared by the following night? After some heavy physical punishment to my person, he treated me very well for the entire night. How so? Read between the lines, mes petits.
♛It’s no inconvenience, Louis and I have both experienced our share of bad parenting, and done some of it ourselves, so we’re glad to reach out and help when we can.
We read your message many times and can’t quite unravel what the issue is, but the fact that you have a mother who you feel is fabulous (and I assume you mean in her personality, more than just the contents of her closet *winks), and some friends for support, that’s a good start.
Some people really shouldn’t be parents, others are wonderful at it… it took Louis and I plenty of trial and error to figure it out ourselves. It sounds like your parents may not be working together on it themselves.
As badly as my father treated me, I took him in when the roles were reversed. He needed care, and only then, with his defenses down, were we able to have some of the communication I never got to have with him as a child. Perhaps he didn’t like children, didn’t see them as people, but as animals that needed taming. Louis’ mother seemed perpetually disappointed in Louis, no matter how hard he tried to please her. Perhaps she was disappointed with her lot in life and scapegoated her misery onto him.
It may be that your father doesn’t deserve to be part of your life. It may be that you still have something to resolve with him, like I did with my father. Follow your instincts, and seek advice from your mother. She knew him before you were born, she may have the guidance you seek.
It’s a sad truth that your father will be dead, and there will come a time when you won’t have the chance to try to communicate with him ever again. If it’s too painful to be alone with him, have it be in a setting with others involved, or at least nearby.
Hmmm, he’s not my headcanon of Armand, but maybe for Riccardo? Or an unnamed de Romanus lost boy? @lostsoulofvenice RPs as Riccardo. @perladivenezia (Bianca RPer), @riccardo-de-romanus (another Riccardo) what do you think?
Yeah, she did live a little longer in the book ;A;
EDIT: Madeleine vampired for 1 week only! (Thanks @queenofthesavagegarden)It was long enough that she went back to destroy her old doll shop, no longer needing the replicas of her lost daughter bc she had Claudia! And she also spent time making Claudia-sized furnishings so that Claudia could feel, at least in her own home, that she was the “right size.” ;A;
Different kind of anguish in the movie, being that it’s the SAME NIGHT Madeleine was turned, if she had just listened to Louis, she wouldn’t be dying that morning. In the book, having had that time with Claudia, it’s awful that they had to die so soon because that time was still so brief.
