The fact that all the Vampire Chronicles exist in meta form within the Vampire Chronicles is actually so fucking genius and I think AR gave us a beautiful gift with which we will always be able to hand wave away any plot holes or characterizations that deviate from the norm.
Continuity error? The narrator remembers the events differently.
OOC behavior? The narrator is too dense to properly interpret someone’s feelings.
The sudden inclusion of a phrase she really likes all over the book from various people’s mouths? (ie: Lord God!) It’s not ANNE saying these words, it’s the characters picking up each other’s mannerisms.
It’s created a rich breeding ground for all types of discourse and headcanons, and we never have to be truly heartbroken by critique cause there’s always the possibility that Lestat is just being a jackass and doesn’t know wtf he’s talking about.
once upon a time young young teenage me used to write fan fiction like my life depended on it, new fics every week and I had no idea there was someone out there printing out my fics and putting them in a box to read when they needed something to cheer them up
anyways fast forward to 20 year old me on my third date with Emily and she mentions offhand that she’s got this box of fic she printed out and saved
it’s a few months later after that and she shows me one of the fics in the box and holy shit that’s my garbage fic from so long ago
anyways my point is life is a fucking trip my dude
i still remember when we found this out. i don’t think either of us stopped yelling for hours
look it’s been eight years and I’m still like LMAO I MARRIED A FAN
This is the cutest thing I’ve ever read in my whole life
