Claudia and Lestat, Interview with the vampire (1994, Jordan)
sweet baby jesus is your username really an interview with the vampire/top gun crossover reference? because that may actually factually be the most magical thing i have ever encountered.

My dream came true ; I’ve been waiting for this ask for so long. My dear, thank you! Yes, I’m also a
huge fan – for many wrong reasons – of Top Gun, Maverick/Iceman is my fav
OTP ever (with Ethan Hunt/Will Brandt and Louis/Lestat ; yep I love to pair Tom). Seriously I had never seen so much tension between
Cruise with guys, don’t judge me
two characters in a movie before, it’s kinda amazing. Anywayyy, I digress. I also
made someunsuccessfulcrossover edits of the two movies. I mean it’s such a weird, specific and personal crossover I didn’t even hope to get notes (big up to every person who liked or reblogged it btw!) but Top Gun is the reason why I felt in love
with IWTV then VC soooo… I regret nothing haha!
#top gun#is life#playing with the boys ❤#and Lestat’s head#gif#Louis de Pointe du Lac#iwtv
::rolls around screaming::
I LITERALLY WATCHED IWTV AND TOP GUN THE OTHER FUCKING DAY
THEY JUST MAKE SENSE TOGETHER I DON’T KNOW HOW
oh my god this gif i can’t. the volleyball scene with iwtv i caaaaaaaan’t
this is the most magical day of my 33 years on this planet.
Cut for long!post, but omg, now that I see these comparisons, #the resemblance is uncanny!
Hit the jump for more.

Let me hug you buddy! *so much happiness*
But really, when you think about it, there’s some similarities… For example, the plot. Let’s call our hero(es) “the brat” (suits both Lestat and Maverick, nope?)
– First, the brat spot a dude
– he “fools around” with the aforementioned dude
– and it ends up with an “ambiguous” relationship.
– Of course, the brat crashes (in the water) and burns
– so he’s all sad and shit
– but finally, he fucking rises like a phoeniiiiiiiiiix.
Both movies also involves:
– flying (with sexy dudes)
– “fooling around” (with other sexy dudes)
– a shit load of sexy dudes (doing sexy stuff)
– heterosexual backing
– a touching piano scene (to make you cry when the piano guy dies in the next scene)
– Tom Cruise riding stuff
– deep romance
I’ve wanted to redraw this for the longest time and I finally did. “Isabeau” is a short story drawn for the Manga Contest held by Ficomic back in 2006.
You can see the old version here: http://noirgraphite.com/isabeauGoth soul will never leave me xD
Never see yourself out. Priapus jokes are eternal.
Priapus-at-the-gate is one of the greatest VC references we have and it will never not be funny and solemn vow: I will continue to bring it up at every possible applicable opportunity as one of my most sacred duties.
You’re a wonderful person. 👻
Anon Asked the Right Questions
Anonymous:
(½) I was… not expecting such a response to my POTP question. I want to clarify first that I am grateful for your response. That I mean sincerely; I harbor no ill-will towards you, and nothing in this response is sarcastic. I’ve always had issue with anyone saying “People from X group are [negative remark here]” if I belong to said group. Thank you for reminding me that such statements can be general, rather than applying to everyone in said group. And I only knew about the fanfic thing –
(2/2) – and the fact that negative reviews of her work were brought up on her page; I didn’t know there were fans who attacked reviewers. The bullet point about the “Beauty’s Release” review sounds like she was being sincere that she didn’t want fans to attack the reviewer, and I don’t see any rabid rage in the comments, but I don’t doubt they did attack the reviewer in place(s) I didn’t see. I was completely unaware of the vast majority of what you included in your response. Sincerely, I thank you.
You are very welcome! What a gracious reply. Anon is referring to this post about the history of the People of the Page that I wrote (with the help of some fandom friends who did not want to be credited for obvious reasons) recently.
I’m very happy to answer questions when they are asked in a respectful manner, as this Anon did, and it’s even better when I have successfully convinced them of my point(s) let them draw their own conclusion(s) based on the information that I have, or what I can gather from the fandom at large who see/reblog-and-add-to my posts.
Heartfelt Thanks~*
…to all who saw that post and liked/reblogged, just to be supportive or to have that post available in case they needed to Explain Someone A Thing at some point. It touches me when you do that; it makes it worth the time and effort I put into gathering the facts and answering such delicate questions ^_______^
Happiest memory?
-sighs-
First of all, fuck you.
Second of all. Well.
It was summer. One of the more sweltering that I remember. We were at least a month into being truly lovers, not just friends, and he’d dragged me out into the hills in search of a stream. We each had a bottle of wine (or two?) and he was carrying bread, cheese, and cherries; I had my violin.
It took almost an hour to find it. Mon dieu, but it was so hot. The sort of hot that is like a curtain before you, like a wet blanket that covers your body. By the time we found the stream, we’d both stripped off our shirts, and I remember worrying my feet would have swollen in my boots.
We stripped off our clothing and immediately took to the water. Now, remember, these are cool mountain streams, even in summer. It was glorious. Bathing, drinking, splashing each other, wrestling. Then making love on the grass, our breath coming hard, our cries building until the little death, and then collapsing beside each other in happy, satisfied exhaustion.
We drank wine for hours and ate, the cherry juice staining our fingers and mouths, our lazy kisses a mixture of sweat and fruit. I remember almost weeping at the perfection of it, turning into his neck and burying my face there because I knew it wouldn’t last, that the sunlight and sweetness and poetry of it would end, as it always did.
Before we left, I remember he grabbed me ‘round the waist and kissed me, then pulled back and looked me in the eye. If you don’t know him, you can’t know how penetrating, how soul-piercing that gaze can be–he loves with perfect trust, and it’s absolutely terrifying.
“I love you. I will always love you.”
The real horror is that I believed him. Utterly.
OH MY DEAR LORD WHY WOULD U DO THIS!!! #RIGHT IN THE FEELS
All I can do is sit here with my mouth open, going “Oh!”
Beautiful, indissectable (not a real word, but in this context, I mean that I am unable to dissect this down to its parts).
BONUS POINTS for never mentioning a name, and not needing to!
This is the kind of memory that would best explain where their pain as a ship truly comes from. Even more sad is that Lestat was so naive to say such a thing, but it sounds perfectly in character. Maybe by saying it, he thought it could be made truth ;A;
That soul-piercing gaze – yes… that’s the Lestat I fell in love with in canon, the one Nicolas fell for, the searing real Lestat stripped of his masks that anyone who falls for the real Lestat falls for, too ❤
