This guy clearly did not read Lestat’s etiquette guide on proper gentlemanly blood consumption.

Interview with the Vampire is and alway will be my favorite vampire move. this glance of Tom is soooooooooooo adorable!

“Oh the horror on Armand’s face…
And David, the pity, the sympathy…
And the shining gamine figure of my Dora, my slender yearning Dora with her huge black eyes…
I rolled her over gently… and pulled up her skirt…” – the Vampire Lestat, Memnoch the Devil
Oh. My. God.
Ok, ok… of course this moment seemed dramatic to me when I first read it, which is why i highlighted it (u should see all my VC books lol.. they glow).
But when I went back to read it again I couldn’t help but laugh myself sick imagining Armand’s and David’s reactions to Lestat’s particular choice in cuisine once he’d made it back to Earth.
This is completely OOC, I know. But whatever. I couldn’t resist at least drawing a crappy little picture. It was just too funny in my head.
Oh, and I draw Armand with freckles. Deal.
This is. I would say. The Squickiest scene in the whole series. And 50% of the squick is the fact that poor David and Armand are just standing there watching it happen.
I love the fanart tho! This is probably the only fanart of that scene.
The vampire for me is a metaphor for the outsider, the outcast, the predator in all of us —- the lonely one, the heart and soul that feels immortal even when it knows that we all die. Vampire characters help me to talk about reality. They always have. When I’m with Lestat, and Armand and Louis, and Gabrielle, I’m in the real world. All colors blaze bright and music soars to Heaven and I’m not lonely for a while, I’m safe. And that’s why I write about them and through them and with them.

When she writes things like this I can’t help but love her somewhat (despite all the reasons not to), because when I/we read the VC, all colors blaze bright and music soars to Heaven and I’m not lonely for a while, I’m safe. And that’s why I read about them and through them and with them.
You know what I mean? She’s brought us together with this fantasy world, and if that isn’t magic in itself, to create a fandom and bring together friends (and lovers!) for life, or even temporarily, I don’t know what is.
