Lestat: Louis, you’ve come back to me! Tell me you’ve come back to me! Louis: Lol, bitch, no.
I finally re-read the first installment of the Vampire Chronicles, The Interview with Vampire. And subsequently, here is a quick sketch I made of Lestat and Louis. God, OTP feels, anyone?
#one time monsieur-le-rockstar and I were roleplaying on WhatsApp
#Louis and Lestat were in Austria and they’d just had an argument
#so Louis went downstairs in the hotel and encountered this cute Austrian guy and they started talking in German about literature and what they were reading presently
#Lestat came down and saw them and got pissed off because
#a) how dare some cute guy speak to mon louis
#b) how dare some cute guy speak to mon louis in a language i don’t understand
#so lestat seduced the dude and killed him
#and louis was like
#‘lestat you don’t just kill a man for speaking to me’
#and lestat was like ‘but you were flirting’
#and louis was like ‘we were talking about oscar wilde’
#and lestat was like ‘so you were flirting’
#true story
Lestat has a special way of doing THINGS BOYS DO WE LOVE
I CANT BREATHE ARMANDS LIKE MOVE BITCH GET OUT THE WAY)
*~ Get the FUCK back, guard ya grill There’s somethin’ wrong, we can’t stay still I’ve been drankin’ and bustin’ two and I been thankin’ of bustin’ you ~*
I took him in my arms, oh, so cold, so unyielding, this monster which I had made out of human flesh. I pressed my lips against his cheek, shuddering as I did so, my fingers sliding around his neck.
He didn’t move away from me. He couldn’t bring himself to do it. I felt the slow silent heave of his chest against mine.
“Do it to me, please, beautiful one,” I whispered in his ear. “Take this heat into your veins, and give me back all the power that I once gave to you.” I pressed my lips to his cold, colorless mouth. “Give me the future, Louis. Give me eternity. Take me off this cross.”
#ALL THE FEELS
This is really one of the best, and most heartwrenching moments in the entire VC, and it hurts to much, every time I read it. And what’s so especially chilling about it is the role reversal! There’s an echo of Daniel in Lestat’s plea for help here. Louis is the one with ALL the supernatural power.
