//I love that graphic. That edition of IwtV, the movie paperback, was the first copy i ever got. 😀 It makes me happy to see. Also good explanation of canon vs headcanon.
Merci! I really love the concept of “headcanon” as separate from “canon,” gives that old “Read between the lines” quote so much flexibility.
That edition was not the first one I read (which was borrowed), but it was the cover for the copy I got for myself:
Can we talk about the star symbol? Check out that star symbol.
I wonder who designed it? And what did it mean? IIRC, there weren’t 5 books in the series at that point. Maybe just “5-pointed star looks cool so here ya go.” Is it significant that the star is upside down? Is it a subliminal witch-related thing?
At any rate, I was pretty obsessed with drawing it on my hand in marker. Just now, I cobbled it together in pshop… I am AWARE that the angles are ALL WRONG but I AM TIRED IT’S ALMOST MIDNIGHT GIVE ME A BREAK AND ANYWAY IT STILL LOOKS COOL:
^I considered getting it as a tattoo, w/ inverted colors. But can’t really justify pulling the trigger bc A) I’d have to clean up the design and I am lazy… and I know what it means to me, but B) I really would want to know who designed it and what exactly it’s meant to be?
you’re welcome
I have to reblog these….*dies laughing*
These are all GOLD
Really?!
Reveal yourselves, male-muns. I promise we won’t bite… hard.
Her lips were red, her looks were free,
Her locks were yellow as gold:
Her skin was as white as leprosy,
The Night-mare LIFE-IN-DEATH was she,
Who thicks man’s blood with cold.

reblogged your post and added:
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 14 21 200+ year old hot mess in town.
