Vampire Molloy.

ooc; Can anyone tell me the exact year Daniel Molloy was given the dark gift? QOTD isn’t that clear!

@i-want-my-iwtv : Could use your expertise!

I totally understand your confusion, IIRC, it’s not explicitly stated in QOTD. Here’s the section heading in TVL that shows us the year for the concert:

“Lestat de Lioncourt
In the year of his Resurrection 1984 

Dionysus in San Francisco
1985″

The SF concert, 10/31/1985, was gonna be the first stop on the tour. Daniel is turned the night before that first concert. So there’s your info! 

This is backed up by the fact that Daniel interviewed Louis sometime between 1973-5 (it was published in April of 1976), and then had a… well… let’s call it a ~long and drawn out courtship~ with Armand for some 10-12 years:

  • 10 years ago: ”And what would a mortal lover matter then, a human who’d been no more than a toy for a decade?” -QOTD
  • 12+ years ago:  “…an old crumpled royalty check for the book Interview with the Vampire,  which he had “written” under a pseudonym over twelve years ago.” 

    -QOTD

Or you could try to play a role for someone, keep them on the surface as long as you can… they may leave ANYWAY bc you weren’t willing to open up. 

Let’s throw away the idea of capturing someone like a fish on a line and trying to claim them, some kind of bizarre ownership situation. Share as much of yourself as you are able to, and if they leave because of what they learn, then you can enjoy the time you spent together and be free to find someone who is more compatible with you.

You may never find someone who is perfectly compatible with you. OTP’s are a great thing to fantasize about but not necessarily realistic.

Be happy on your journey through this life, take care of yourself, and if someone shares that journey with you (as a friend or as a significant other) for a period of time, great, if not, also great.

Throw away the idea that you need someone to complete you. You complete you.

OOC; Poor Claudia and her long-ass hyphenated name:

              Claudia de Lioncourt – de Pointe du Lac

Y’know I often wondered about that… I would think she went by Claudia de Pointe du Lac, to fit their story that she was in fact Louis’ daughter, that her mother (RIP) had been Lestat’s sister. Hence why she resembled Lestat more than Louis.

In her soul she probably used both names, until she started hating Lestat’s guts, of course.

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.

Goth soul will never leave me xD

How would you describe IWTV to someone who has not read the book or seen the movie?

(I struggle to describe it to ppl, I usually cater the length and depth of my description based on my audience, for example, to describe it to my 7 yr old cousin (who loves vampires and was a vampire princess fairy for Halloween): “It’s mostly about a happy vampire family with 2 dads, and they don’t always get along with eachother or the world.”)

As Tom Cruise put it so eloquently, “The movie is not for everyone.” No value judgement there; it’s just not everyone’s cup of tea, so I don’t try to sell it. 

I will try to describe the story in the language of tumblrland:

“How would you describe IWTV to someone who has not read the book…?”

You can also try my vc synopsis tag, but there be spoilers there!

….That last gif is also tribute to antoineandthepiano who loves that gif! And it’s appropriate here, bc if I think the person might actually like it, I do tell them to #READ THE BOOK in the hopes that I can make them one of us
