♛Love is scary, it can be terrifying. You can lose yourself in it, give your heart to someone who doesn’t deserve you. I’ll take the risks, I doubt I could live without love. My hunger for it supersedes everything else. Never forget to love yourself.We all deserve that much. Especially when certain objects of your affection do not return your love regardless of their inability or refusal to see how lovable you are.
#MURDER DADS #hes watching Claudia kill #he is so friggin proud of her #LOOKIT MAI LIL BABY KILLING A BIG ADULT WOMAN ALL BY HERSELF #INFANT DEATH #Yes I play favorites she mai favorite 5ever #Louis why cant u be more like ur sister ffs
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.
#and like what so sad about this moment #actually #is that Lestat is learning smtg new here #that laudanum has a real effect on him #but he has not yet realized that Claudia aint playin #she has tactically weakened him #this is not in fact funtimes
That is bizarre! Anyway, there IS a Denis in the book. Also I think Denis was too young to be Armand? Armand was supposed to be around 17, and Denis looks more like 13-14 to me.
Not sure exactly whose theory it was (mine? whiningforcenturies? Both probably), but someone suggested that Antonio was actually Santino posing as Armand. Hence the not-teenage, not-red-head, not-cherubic appearance.
I have a whole pile of theories about Antonio’s casting here: #Defending Antonio.
^Lookit this loyal cutie omg ❤ This is kind of an Armand expression, the lack of surprise in an under-pressure situation, the stiff upper-lip.
That carriage is really rockin’. Don’t come a’knockin’. GDI Armand it’s wildly unfair to take advantage of a man who is turned on by the arson he’s just committed!
There were some comments on my post about Denis and basically, my feeling is that Denis was treated very well. He had a nice normal bed (looks like queen sized!), yes, he was locked in there, but who’s to say that the bars holding him in weren’t really meant to keep the other vampires in the Theatre OUT? It would be easy enough to get to Armand by torturing his pet; he needed protection.
We don’t know Denis’ backstory. Maybe Armand rescued him from a worse life, as Armand had been rescued by Marius. Maybe Armand was “paying it forward.”
We know Armand didn’t really click with any of the vampires in the Theatre. So why not have a little mortal companion who might love him unconditionally? We keep cats and dogs for similar reasons. We keep chickens and rabbits as pets knowing that we’re well some of us are capable of eating them someday. A human is another level of domesticated pet for a vampire!
Now the fact that Armand killed Denis does seem cruel at first glance, but it was probably because Armand had found what he longed for in Louis, a vampire companion. Hanging out with vampires for too long can distort your reality (just ask Daniel Molloy, lol) so Armand killing Denis was probably a mercy. What would have happened with that kid otherwise? Would he have tried to find Armand? Would he have killed himself anyway? If Armand didn’t want to turn or keep him, maybe Denis asked for death.
These things are worth considering before you judge Armand as being cruel to Denis.
awww thank u Coolest blog on the internet- whut? omg you like me, you really like me! (that is a Sally Field reference for you youngsters) Come off anon and say that to mah face, figuratively ❤
^Louis’ reaction to being mentioned after Lestat.
He knows he plays second-fiddle to Lestat at all times. He prefers that Lestat take the bulk of the fangirl/boy/other attentions, but we must never forget that Louis is a BAMF. He must be some kind of awesome for His Holiness the Brat Prince to love him so damn much.
^So Claudia has a bed, and it is covered with dolls, but why even have a bed if you don’t plan to sleep in it at all? Oh wait bc sexytiems… not for Claudia tho, she has a bed to hold her doll collection and dead figure drawing models ffs… In the books they sleep in beds, now that there are really good blackout curtains available.
^In movie!IWTV, Claudia was able to be awake during the daylight, she just couldn’t let it touch her. I don’t think she (or the other Ricean vampires) would have wanted to try to adopt a day/night sleep schedule like a person… even if they physically could, vampires seem to be nocturnal animals and prefer it that way.
Choice is really irrelevant with Book!VC (Ricean) vampires bc they succumb to the Deathsleep; they are physically unable to stay awake during daylight hours. Even in a place like Alaska in which nighttime extends during the winter months, Ricean vampires are still susceptible to a reasonable deathsleep rhythm.
Vampires in other media, like Only Lovers Left Alive for example, do stay awake during the daylight hours if they feel like it, and they do sleep in beds. Are they trying to imitate mortals? Maybe!
That’s Denis. He’s Armand’s pet. We don’t know much about him.
3 things about this bite:
1. After watching the gruesome performance at the Theatre, Louis and Claudia are both pretty hungry. Seems like a courtesy offering to a vampire, like you might offer someone water or soda or whatever when they’re a guest in your house. In the book, Claudia gets a bite of Denis, too.
2. Seems like a trust-building exercise. All the vampires in the Theatre are watching him, and we’ve seen how easy it is to poison a vampire. Louis accepting this offering is a show of good faith, trusting them that they’re not poisoning him right then.
3. Killing/drinking blood is a very sensual experience for vampires, Louis describes sex as “the pale shadow of killing.” Makes sense then, that Louis does not like to be watched doing it. Also, he’s usually unable to stop himself from killing his victims. Armand’s mind gift is very strong, and he’s enjoying this whole moment on a deeper level.
We know that Denis is fiercely devoted to Armand, he even drives the getaway carriage for him and Louis after Louis serves his revenge at the Theatre des Vampires, en flambé, of course.
