You may express and I will accept such appreciation but… I didn’t invent ithe phrase! I don’t remember where I heard/saw it from, but I use it outside of tumblr, so GO FOR IT. If you’re around kids or your parents, “What the hap is frickening” would probly be acceptable, too ;D
Here’s a memeything for ya. Fresh off the presses. Typo on purpose bc it looks funnier to meeee….
ooc; So, I finally pre-ordered PL & The Realms of Atlantis, and I just noticed the description on Barnes & Noble’s website.
“When any of the 12,000-year-old self-cloning aliens called Replimoids take center stage, there are interesting sparks. They soon fade, though, as Lestat and his confidants (and the reader) wait for anything to happen. But when Kapetria, who speaks for the Replimoids, begins to give real information to Lestat and members of his court about Amel and the Replimoids’ origins, the book finally catches fire. Initially, the concept of adding aliens to vampires, spirits, and witches is an eye roller, but Rice exhibits tremendous skill in making the impossible seem not only possible but logical.”
I have literally been joking for two years that the next book would involve aliens vs. Lestat, because it feels like shit’s gotten that insane
That’s a great quote, anon, and a very good question *u*
[^by @garama and the illustration is more appropriate than you think; they are probably slinging insults back and forth telepathically!]
This quote was actually Armand talking to Lestat about Gabrielle and Nicolas (Lestat had not even met Louis and Claudia yet), and how foolish it was for Lestat to expect either of them to actually want to stay with him. AS IF?! We as readers also add in the fact that it could apply to Louis and Claudia, since we already know that further down the line, yes, they will choose to leave their maker.
Armand’s point is that no matter carefully chosen, every fledgling will inevitably leave their maker. The quote actually begins with: “Each time the death and the awakening will ravage the mortal spirit,” and then he goes into more reasons why the fledglings and makers end up parting. Gabrielle left because she wanted something Lestat couldn’t give her. Nicolas left for a number of reasons, some variation of madness could be part of it. Armand speaks with the knowledge of seeing many fledglings made, and he might even feel like he would not have chosen to stay with his own maker forever, if he had had the choice.
When Armand says “And the veil will always come down between you,” that’s about the fact that the telepathic connection that can exist between vampires and mortals
(vampire!Lestat could communicate telepathically with mortal!Gabrielle before she was turned)
will be lost with the Dark Gift*
Armand had it with mortal!Daniel.
It’s a deeply intimate connection and many makers and fledglings mourn its loss.
Armand is basically saying that you can turn however many mortals into vampires you want, but due to the act of turning a new vampire, you can’t keep them as a companion. The best and most true companionship is in finding other vampires who were turned by others. There are many reasons for finding a prefabricated vampire to love, but a major one is that the telepathic connection with them will still be possible!
*At least one fic writer, @vampchronfic, has L/L finding ways to chip away and even dissolve this limitation, and it’s bound them closer together, unlike any other ship in VC.
[X] //ooc: they are refusing to answer this because they see the Twilight series as the author’s wish fulfillment
fantasy, and they don’t want to step on anyone’s feelings, but neither of them would want to go to high school for centuries, nor do they have any issues killing people now. Lestat is a little jealous of the sparkling tho, so he just wears face and/or body glitter sometimes.
♛I’m excited for the new movie, Louis not as much… he doesn’t think we should be drawing more attention to ourselves, but why didn’t they just cast me? Creative license, I suppose. As for actors to play us, I’m open to anyone. I actually suggested that Louis play Nicolas, since they’re doing my story first, but he’s not so keen on the idea for whatever reason… I don’t see the issue, we could give him brown contact lenses and style his hair differently…
apparently last night at like 4:30 am i started a louis/lestat comic but i have no clue what about because i filled in zero word bubbles except a few cryptic sound effects.
going on expression, body language and my general knowledge of vampire chronicles as a series, lestat was being annoying.
