Cutest human award goes to Anne Rice.
I know she’s the author…but it’s like she’s making her own fanfiction…is that possible??
So cute, the idea of AR making her own fanfiction. She does make these fanfic-ish comments occasionally and I, for one, love them, regardless that they sometimes seem out of character/canon.
I had a crush on Tom Cruise because of this movie.
(Unfortunate decisions by tall brunettes! I feel you Katie Holmes.)
But look, I couldn’t help it. Lestat wasn’t just a snarky blond bisexual vampire who treated sacred vampire laws as skittles in the bowling alley of his life.
(VAMPIRE ELDERS: We claw our way from the grave promptly at—
LESTAT: What up, just out of my bed of silk and velvet. LADIES, THINK ABOUT SHOWERS.
VAMPIRE ELDERS: Here is the throne room of the king and queen of all vampires, preserved in silent immortality. Gaze upon them from a reverent distance.
LESTAT: I just made out with the vampire queen’s face.
VAMPIRE ELDERS: All vampires must be anonymous. Keep us secret, keep us safe.
LESTAT: I’ve become a rock star!!!)
He was also, as we see in this very gif set, an astute critic of the problem of vampire literature.
Lestat is, in many ways, basically an eternal teenager* (he’s like 20 but he totally was.)
Vampire Elders: DO NOT DO THIS ONE THING ABOVE ALL.
Lestat: *does it* *DOES IT BIGGER*
Louis: Don’t you think maybe you shouldn’t do that….
LESTAT: *DOES IT IN YOUR FACE ON MTV* *DOES IT AND MAKES IT COOL*
Louis: *sigh*
These books were my childhood. In retrospect, that probably explains a lot about me.
*I mean that in the best way. Teenagers are awesome and trying to figure out themselves and the world, and Lestat was the same way.

Babbette Freneire-esque? From Interview with the Vampire:
“She was looking at me now, the lamp raised; and just when I meant to look away, I saw her face change. It went still, blank, as if her soul were losing its consciousness. She closed her eyes and shook her head. It occurred to me that I had somehow caused her to go into a trance without any effort on my part.‘What are you!’ she whispered.’You’re from the devil. You were from the devil when you came to me! ”
“In the spring of 1988, I returned to New Orleans, and as soon as I smelled the air, I knew I was home.
It was rich, almost sweet, like the scent of jasmine and roses around our old courtyard.
I walked the streets, savoring that long lost perfume.”– Anne Rice (Interview with the Vampire)

One of their last happy moments as a family… ♥
And Lestat can’t keep his eyes from Louis.
Yes, it’s so sweet, Lestat’s happy bc Louis is happy. Awwww…
Skimming Interview with the Vampire, found this:
“‘Rest easy,’ she said abruptly, her voice still low.’I tell you that as much as I hated Lestat… ’ She stopped.
” ‘Yes… ’ I whispered.’Yes…. ’
“ ‘As much as I hated him, with him we were… complete.’ She looked at me, her eyelids quivering, as if the slight rise in her voice had disturbed her even as it had disturbed me.
” ‘No, only you were complete… ’ I said to her.’Because there were two of us, one on either side of you, from the beginning.’
“I thought I saw her smile then, but I was not certain. She bowed her head, but I could see her eyes moving beneath the lashes, back and forth, back and forth. Then she said,’The two of you at my side. Do you picture that as you say it, as you picture everything else?’ ”
