♛Unlike some OTHER vampires who won’t be named, I find great pleasure in appetizers, in factI’ve spent whole nights on them and not needed any entrées!
… But there have been a few instances, regrettably, when an appetizer became an entrée. It happens. I don’t make promises when it comes to my appetite. Might as well ask a lion to use a napkin.
♛Oh really? Do you like being food for the immortals? I’ll bet you taste as sweet as you sound, a fine port… and I do love to skip straight to dessert…
“I, myself, identify completely with Lestat. I can say Lestat is my other self, he’s my male self. He and I travel together. He does the things I wish I could do, but can’t. I love the fact that people identify with him. I worked very hard, and at the same time, it was a great joy to get a very intimate voice in the Lestat books. Lestat really sounds like he’s sitting at the table, talking to you, because that’s the way I feel about him when I’m writing–that he’s right there, telling me the story, leaning over my shoulder, telling me to get it right, pointing out things I should change, breathing down my neck, doing everything but biting me! Which he wouldn’t dare!”
“The Last Sunset” Fanart “ Interview with the Vampire”(Movie 1994)
There were many things, as I mention, which Lestat might have said and done. He might have made the experience rich in so many ways. But he did not.
Louis – Interview with the Vampire (Anne Rice)
“No need to tell him what to observe, or what to remember. He always knew such things. Years ago, when I’d
done the dark magic on him, I hadn’t had to tell him anything; he had savored the smallest aspects of it all
on his own. And later he’d said I’d failed to guide him. Didn’t he know how unnecessary that had always
been?” – Lestat, Queen of the Damned (Anne Rice)
♛Yes, I do ride, it’s a thrill to race them, have that level of connection with such magnificent animals. Louis rode with me the last time… the scent of the animal on him later is always deeply nostalgic for those times we shared when horses were the primary means of travel. And he also knows it’s kind of a huge turn-on *winks*
He kept horses then, I remember a favorite he called Clemence. But we do not keep horses now. They’re daytime animals, and need daytime care… I suppose I could pay someone to keep a stable for me but it’s not the same as the love you get from caring for an animal with your own two hands, you’re always perceived as a visitor to them. So we borrow them and return them.
*sighs* Pets in general, that’s a sensitive topic for me, because Mojo was in a way my furry son, and we had to make the hard decision to give him mercy at the end of his life. Letting him go was painful, to say the least. As I’ve mentioned, however, he was a unique soul, most animals instinctively reject me by nature. It takes some effort to calm a horse enough to ride it, and even then, there are moments where it remembers it’s carrying a predator.
I just said this but it bears repeating: I love the idea of this thing being part of someone’s daily routine BC IT IS CERTAINLY PART OF MINE and someone out there ought to be as attached to it as I am #no regerts. So the feels, they are mutual, and
I’ll try to keep up the quality you’ve come to expect *u*
