Relatively quick piece of Lestat and Louis I did after learning that Anne Rice and her son are currently writing a screenplay for a miniseries adaptation of The Vampire Lestat. I remember when I first read Interview With A Vampire, Louis’ constant complaining drove me nuts.
And then I realized that Lestat just generally elicits complaints because he continually–inadvertently–ends up almost destroying Christendom. So really, I can’t blame Louis and his grandpa sweaters because he puts up with a lot.
Me: [still in the bar, sobbing brokenly on the bartender’s shoulder while he
awkwardly
pats me on the back] No, no, you don’t understand you don’t understand because there’s gunna be this Moment, right, where someone is going to be rude to Hannibal again, and his eyes his Eyes will do The Thing™ where they go all black and murdery, and Will is going to be on the other side of the room, watching the rude person too, from behind the rude person, all predator-y, and Hannibal will suddenly become *physically aware* of him like from balls to bones and his eyes will drift past the rude person and he’ll look up at Will just as Will deliberately flicks his eyes up at him with those stupid scalpel sharp fuckingfUCKING eyelashes and we’ll know that they’re both thinking the same thing and realising that the other one is watching him thinking the Thing and both of them are gunna get such a charge off knowing that the air in the room between them is going to fucking siZZLE*hiccups and slides off barstool*
How many of your actually feel that Louis’ visiting Lestat at the end of IWTV and the conversation that followed actually happened? Lestat insists that it didn’t, but both him and Louis are unreliable narrators…
Personally, I think it did, however, I think Louis put in some of his own scenes within his telling of the moment to provoke Lestat. That’s why Lestat says it didn’t happen, because it didn’t fully to the extent that Louis said it did.
I actually got the Barnes and Noble edition of the first three novels of the Vampire Chronicles for Christmas, so I’ll eventually be reading back soon to see if my opinion changes or if something suggests otherwise.
Yes, I’d like to know what ppl think about this, too! Pls comment/reblog with whether this happened, or if it happened differently than reported ;D
I apologise for the lack of frocks midear :’) but when asked to do a fanart of Lestat & Louis that includes “Fluff and Love”… i couldnt help but interpret that immediately as ‘Of course fluff and love between those two scoundrels would be raunchy, rough and slightly NSFW’ hahaha.
…My brain, honestly *shakes head.*
Anyhoo, Merry Christmas all and i hope you like it! 😀
^WOO HOO is the appropriate reaction to Louis grabbing you, running at full speed, and then slamming you as hard as he can against not one but TWO trees *nods* yes good.
