Mean Girls Vampires.

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)
If you don’t love Lestat, you’re wrong.
What’s also kind of beautiful about this little moment (and part of why we love Lestat) is that we can see Lestat’s internal self-deprecation juxtaposed so starkly w/ his external display. Just a few lines after he reveals how “the sheer excitement was excruciating, and the love I felt for him was positively humiliating”, he has to immediately take a stab at Louis, somehow, and it’s almost stuttered out in these teensy bite-sized sentences:
“One thing, Louis,” “Those clothes. Impossible.”
He wants to make sure Louis is suffering as much as he is, w/o really injuring him, and if he has to stoop so low as to criticize his fashion sense, HE’LL DO IT, DAMN YOU. The Lestat we see in IWTV is an even crueler sassy bastard, much of it being self-defense for how much he was hurting during that time period, too ;A;
Louis is, fortunately, more durable than he appears to be, and clever enough to have figured this out, which is why they’ve survived each other been able to stay together so long ;]
Such a devoted dad. [X]
Happy birthday! oWo
Thank u!
I am thoroughly convinced Lestat is one of those people who does this really annoying voice for people he doesn’t like when retelling stories.
Oh definitely! This isn’t exactly what you meant but I remembered this dialogue from Hook, and my hand slipped, you can tell Lestat would be using a very annoying voice here to imitate Claudia:
Imagine having a really bad dye job or bad hair and be turned into a vampire that night.You’re stuck that way forever.
romanchronicles is an OC vampiress with that exact problem! I can’t find the post she goes into detail about it, but that is basically what happened. I bet the mun and muse would love to entertain your questions/amusements about it.
…However, as far as Ricean vampires go, I don’t think that would be a problem at all, as they can cut their hair post-turning, and it grows back to the length it was when they died. Hence, they can cut out that bad dye job; and since dye doesn’t exist in the flesh itself, their hair would grow back fine!
The issue would be if someone had shaved their head before turning, bc their hair would stay that length after death 😛 Sorry Uncle Fester, it ain’t coming back.
