Oooh! That’s a cool idea… Fandom, let’s gather some ridiculous Lestat quotes for a tatt on this post. Mention the book it came from, too, if you can.
Here’s some I grabbed from IWTV, they’re not all ridiculous but they might work as a tatt, anyways. They all sound like canon to me, but check a legit copy of the book bc these are from an unreliable PDF.
Don’t fall
so madly in love with the night that you lose your way!
You’re dying, that’s all; don’t be a fool.
You’ll have to bed down with me this morning. I
haven’t prepared you a coffin.
If I want to sleep all day
and drink all night, I’ll do it, damn you!
Now, I’m getting into the coffin, and you will get in on top of me if you
know what’s good for you.
The hell I won’t!
He’s dead, you idiot!
Don’t be such a damned idiot. Haven’t you ever seen a rat?
Rats can be quite nice
[Re: a shattered crystal glass that he shattered] You don’t mind, do you? I surely hope you
don’t, because there’s nothing much you can do about it if you do
mind.
I’d like to meet the devil some night, I’d chase him from here to the wilds of the Pacific. I
am the devil.
I ought to drive your horse
into the swamps. You’d have to dig yourself a hole and smother!
You whining coward of a vampire who prowls the night killing alley
cats and rats and staring for hours at candles as if they were people and standing in the rain like a zombie until your clothes are drenched and you smell like old wardrobe trunks in attics and have the look of a
baffled idiot at the zoo. (<— This is probably too long but a piece of it might work, like “Staring at nature like a baffled idiot at the zoo” which is my tag for cool nature-related stuff, and some ppl have even adopted it from me.)
You’re being morbid! It’s almost dawn.
I
can give you death more easily than I gave you life!
Did I kill him or did I not kill
him! What’s your guess?
“Don’t you see? I’m not the spirit of any age. I’m at odds with everything and always have been! I have never belonged anywhere with anyone at any time!”
These two play such amazing roles in The Vampire Lestat and I wish there had been more insight into the two of them dealing with one another in Armand’s book. I imagine this scene as a final, hateful, farewell… Perhaps there is an ounce of sadness or even relief in the both of them.
I also included two wip stages in case you find those things interesting.
