“Do you know what I think about crying? I think some people have to learn to do it. But once you learn, once you know how to really cry, there’s nothing quite like it. I feel sorry for those who don’t know the trick. It’s like whistling or singing.”
So, favourite VC scene! I only started reading IWTV recently, but I’ve read this today and it’s too adorable to not mention. <<>> I wan’t tipsy Lestat home.
“The hell I won’t!” – Interview with the Vampire
“The hell I’m not!” – The Vampire Lestat
“Like hell it is!” – Queen of the DamnedI think Lestat actually described each book’s plot with a slight variation of expression.
*laughs hysterically*
Okay I’m reading the Vampire Lestat and I laughed so hard when lestat and Gabrielle were running out of the church and he freakin’ threw gold coins while hissing at the people. Like just the visual of it was funny in my head
Uh, yeah, like, does it get any better than this??:
“All right, listen to me! We are going out.
But we shall do it like proper vampires, do you hear!
There are one thousand people in the church and we are going to scare them to death. I will lift the stone and we will rise up together, and when we do, raise your arms and make the most horrible face you can muster and cry out if you can. That will make them fall back, instead of pouncing upon us and dragging us off to prison, and then we’ll rush to the door.“
When I find myself in times of trouble Father Louis come to me, speaking words of wisdom “You crazy, careless, flamboyant, vain monster, I don’t mean this to hurt you but I love you”.
And he said all this in the space of 4 pages lol
Lestat actually said “I can’t even”.
I think I just died.What….
Footage of Lestat in this moment:
What kind of poetry do the VC vampires like? Vampires like Lestat, Armand, Louis, and Marius. Or any other vampires you want to add. Which poet are they fans of?
[text from here] [devilsfool helped me w/ this answer]
I am actually a terrible resource for this question bc I… *gasp* do not really ‘get’ a lot of poetry! I only really like a few poets… like Shel Silverstein (he can be very adult and subversive, btw), Dr. Seuss (who tucked the richness of political/other messages into his works), and other “children’s” authors
yes don’t even think of mocking me on that ok i like what i like, and tbh I headcanon that Lestat has a passion for these, too, since he never got bedtime stories with illustrations as a child (and it’s why he read bedtime stories/poetry to Claudia well beyond the time when she could read to herself bc he loved impressing her with acting out the voices).
- HOWEVER. I do love me some Shakespeare, and I think that counts as poetry, and Lestat loves him some Shakespeare, too. That’s canon. He mentions Keats in TOBT as he’s refurbishing the Rue Royale “Ah, wasn’t it the ode by Keats which had inspired that long-ago purchase? Where had the urn gone?” He also mentions Milton in that book. IDK if he read them but he came into possession of a collection of poetry by Wynken de Wilde in MtD.
- Book-IWTV!Lestat is not wild about books of poetry, ditching Louis one night with a cruel little snap: “Read your damn poems, then! Rot!”
- Lestat also considers music lyrics to “count” as poetry and might get all excited about a new track by Kanye West, Eminem or Macklemore. I think he’d be especially drawn to freestyle rap battles.
- Louis quotes from Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, so I would assume he liked (at least at that time) that kind of story/poetry: macabre, dealing with religion v. nature undertones.
- I see Marius as liking the quirky poetry in the New Yorker, and Stan Rice’s free-form style, as he likes to study emerging trends in thoughts.
- David Talbot likes Blake, the Tyger features in his… trajectory, shall we say.
…The rest I leave up to annabellioncourt,
devilsfool, fyeahgothicromance, gothiccharmschool, and duendology, who are probably better resources on this topic. Oh, and of course, anyone else who sees this and has an opinion please feel free to reblog/comment ;D
Hey do you think Louis has an obsession with boobs or does he just blatantly like them? Silly question I know but in some books he likes to describe them and look at them. I think he does a lot of that in Merrick.
Louis blatantly likes bewbs. That’s practically canon. Look he has his hand on her cleavage here – altho it is pretty far above the boobs – but that is no accident!
Obsessed with? Idk if I’d use that word. But yes, he does describe bewbs often (although in Merrick, it’s David telling that story, and it seems that HE is the one obsessed with her bewbs in particular).
Madeleine knew she had phenomenal boobs and wielded their seductive power like a pro:
Louis was partially under Armand’s spell here, but Madeleine totally used her bazongas to completely bewitch Louis into giving her what she wanted (IWTV):
“’ `If you were a mortal man; man and monster!’ she said angrily. `If I could
only show you my power…’ and she smiled malignantly, defiantly at me `… I could make you want me, desire me! But you’re unnatural!”
Ooooh burn! She basically just called him NOT A MAN. That her powers only worked on men with working man parts. Claudia might have told her about that.
“’… What can I give you! What can I do to make you give me what you have!’ Her hand hovered over her breasts, seeming to caress them like a man’s hand.”
^I think they teach strippers to do that to excite their audience.
“It was strange, that moment; strange because I could never have predicted the feeling her words incited in me, the way that I saw her now with that small enticing waist, saw the round, plump curve of her breasts and those delicate, pouting lips. She never dreamed what the mortal man in me was, how tormented I was by the blood I’d only just drunk. Desire her I did, more than she knew;….”
