Sometimes i just hate french language, we only have 1 word for being “excited” and “horny” it sucks because when i say “je suis vraiment excitée de te voir” it DOES NOT MEAN “I WANNA FUCK YOU AGAINST A WALL” IT MEANS “I’M EXCITED TO SEE YOU BECAUSE I MISSED YOU” BUT I CAN’T USE IT ANYMORE BECAUSE PEOPLE LOOK AT ME LIKE I’M SOME KIND OF SEXUAL MANIAC WHEN I DO IT
And don’t forget that the French word that was originally used for “to kiss” (and that is one of the meanings in a dictionary) now means “to fuck.” Americans get funny looks if they don’t know that one…
Oh yes, “baiser”….
Well this is all purely educational so #necessary reblog rebagelrebaguette.
Mater Fabuloso is falling asleep rn and must be put to bed, but knows she has some interesting asks still to answer, THEY SHALL BE ANSWERED. Have patience, my fanged little trash kittens.
Movie!IWTV sorta gives the impression that Louis was born in New Orleans and only briefly has Lestat admitting to coming from France. They are actually both from France! (and BTW, New Orleans is a city in Louisiana, which is a state in the USA).
The Pointe du Lacs came to the US from France at some unspecified point in his life, but most people headcanon it was when Louis was a young child, too young to remember.
“We’d received a land grant and settled two indigo plantations on the Mississippi very near New Orleans… You see, we lived far better there than we could have ever lived in France.” – Louis de Pointe du Lac, IWTV
The de Lioncourts* lived in a poor provincial town in the middle of nowhere, aka the Auvergne region, in France:
“…my father’s land in the Auvergne in France, and these were the last decades before the French Revolution.” – Lestat de Lioncourt, TVL
*Note that Lestat’s mother was Italian (she grew up in Naples) so he and his brothers are all technically half-French, half-Italian.
LESTAT’S NEVER BEEN LOVED BACK ARE YOU KIDDING ME Just take my heart and destroy it. I am ruined.
;A; IKR??
Well, that quote refers to movie!IWTV. If you’ve read TVL, you know Lestat’s been loved before in his life ;]
And, technically, it happens in an about 10 min in the movie, but Lestat, Louis, and Claudia happily together for some 60+ years, so there was love then 😉
Yessss, I received those! I’m still thinking about them!
^this could be a text from either one of them tbh…
I’m sorry, normally I CAN and do reply within a few days, as part of my Being the Active and Responsive VC Blogger I Want to See in the World. I actually have a backlog of a number of asks… It’s very unusual that I don’t reply within a few days. I’ll try to get my inbox cleared this week, promis juré! (”pinky swear!” learned this from takemetocoffin-or-losemeforever <3)
I could say the reason I didn’t reply is that “I’m busy,” but that’s also often used as a blanket excuse answer, so I’ll prove it:
I’ve had a flurry of fanwork inspiration in the past 2 weeks; some recent RPing, I was working on a ficlet for a fandom friend’s birthday that I posted recently, and another 2 ficlets that I haven’t posted yet (1 is ready and the other is not), and before that I made two VC parody videos [1, my first original post to break 10K notes!! zomg!] and [2 which features a snippet of Britney Spears music aww yisss]…
ALSO I have a personal rule that I try not to post more than 10x a day, I don’t want to spam y’all and I think I’m over my limit today. Even though fanworks are happy spam (ノ°∀°)ノ’.:*・°☆
SPECIFICALLY THOSE ASKS THOUGH:
I guess it’s hard because in terms of music, that’s a big answer, and I’m trying to think of ways to answer it without it being a Wall of Text™ because noone wants to read that much…
Aaaand the Louis question is also hard because that’s another potential Wall of Text™ because there are so many things I think he’d love! And there’s the question of does he get to decide where he is when it happens? Maybe he’d want to go somewhere outside NOLA for a daylight experience.
So I’m still percolating on those and all my asks, please be patient, it’s always worth the wait from Mater Fabuloso, oui?
