As far as I know, after 400 years, 21 years of torturing myself with this trash i love, that scene was unscripted, but it was probably storyboarded!
Although I don’t have them for this scene, I’ve found a few storyboards by Martin Asbury for this movie. Someone needs to pry it from him!!!
I did check, this scene is not in the April ‘92 script, but much of that script changed. Someone out there must have a more recent script… There are several that were written after the movie came out, those are transcriptions of what was released in the final cut, not the last shooting script.
OMG yes! I had a few 1700′s style (or 70′s 1700′s revival…) shirts as a teen, and the tugging motion of pulling those laces from the jacket sleeves is very familiar! Though I didn’t wear leather, I had a ugly burgundy velvet jacket. And I drove a bicycle, not a sports car. (This was mainly David Bowie’s fault, I didn’t read VC until I was 18…) That motion/gif reminds me of listening to glam rock from my walkman and feeling like the most bad ass under-appreciated 14 year old hot mess in town.
Ugly burgundy velvet jacket is also VC. There’s definitely some David Bowie in Lestat (fashion, looks, attitude, musical prowess, etc!). Especially Jareth!Bowie.
Goblin King vs. Brat Prince? I always thought these two moments were worth comparing and now you’ve given me an adequate excuse to do it! They’re both pining for the affections of a brunette… they both use a kid to try to hold onto their brunette… So many comparisons…
Lestat (and Jareth!) is kinda the most bad ass under-appreciated 1421200+ year old hot mess in town.
… he’s definitely on his way to completely exasperated.
Do you all have TagViewer? This thingie:

Hit the jump for moar…
IKR?? I know it’s just a dude throwing grapes at another dude BUT THERE IS SMTG ABOUT IT OK. SMTG CAPTIVATING. Maybe bc it’s kind of the opposite of what sexay vampires should EVER DO? Maybe bc neither one of them can eat grapes?? It’s inexplicable.
Louis has perfected near zen-like patience bc honestly LESTAT HAS DONE SO MUCH WORSE TO HIM AND REACTING ONLY ENCOURAGES MORE.
And the calmer reactions:
#True facts.
#Accurate.
They’re only bothering to pretend bc in the books Lestat’s dad was living with them at the time. And he WAS BLIND SO THEY PRETENDED TO EAT DINNER WITH HIM FOR SOME SENSE OF NORMALCY.

“Okay now that I understand what a fuckton is, definitely a better word than a ‘shitload’ which I have also heard and really that’s not that much when you think about it as a real quantity, but yes, I am a fuckton old, and a fuckton wiser than I started out in this life.”
TL;DR, my feeling is that Ricean vampires are asexual in canon, but fully sexual in fanon (fanfic, fanart, etc.). #Your headcanon may vary #Judge not, that ye be not judged.
… and then again, that all depends on your definition of sex ;]
