A conversation about how much Gabrielle loves Lestat using actual quotes from The Vampire Lestat.
☜ – when your character sees themselves in the mirror, what do they see? how do they see themselves
I typically do not live anywhere where I have access to mirrors, nor do I go to any extreme to attempt to see my reflection.
But, the world being what it is, I am once in a while in a position to catch a glimpse of myself in the glass.
What do I see?
I see what I am sure many others see: a woman, older but of indeterminate age (the dark gift altered the ability to see me for the age I was when I died, though it is obvious that I am not as young as many of the others), with a mass of blonde hair, with blue (sometimes violet, sometimes grey) eyes, and small, kittenish (to borrow Lestat’s words) features.
I see my brother’s hair.
I see my father’s chin.
I see my mother’s fine cheekbones.
I see my son. Always.
I see my daughter.
And then I pass on.
;A; we all know that 8th child was a daughter!
- “I was the seventh son and the youngest of the three who had lived to manhood” = there were 7 sons
- “And now, after eight children, three living, five dead,"
That 8th child could have been a daughter. What are the odds for it being another son?

“ A sketch was all he’d done, a series of bold black lines that nevertheless made up my face and shoulders perfectly, and the color was already begun in dabs and splashes: the green of my eyes, the white of my cheek. But the horror, the horror of seeing my expression! For he had captured it perfectly, and there was nothing of horror in it. Those green eyes gazed at me from out of that loosely drawn shape with a mindless innocence, the expressionless wonder of that overpowering craving which he had not understood.” – Interview with the Vampire

“What am I staring at?,” she questioned, wondering if this was a hallucination to see what appears to be a nut for a head. “What is your name?”

The vampeanut knelt before the Countess taking her slender, feminine hand within his own before giving it a kiss with his almondy mouth. “I am the vampire Almond.”
Who cares? Kingdoms rise and fall. Just don’t burn the paintings in the Louvre, that’s all.

Lestat: Louis, that line was partially for y-
Louis: I DON’T FUCKING BURN EVERYTHING GODAMMIT LESTAT *smacks him hard across the face and leaves room dramatically*
interview with the vampire starter sentences
“The world changes, we do not, there lies the irony that finally kills us.”
“Do you think I would let them harm you?”
“No one could resist me, not even you.”
“I took your life… He gave you another one.”
“Vampires pretending to be humans, pretending to be vampires.”
“Which one of you did it? One of you did it! Which on of you made me the way I am?”
“Are you not hungry, sir?”
“You lack the courage of your convictions, sir.”
“Your body’s dying. Pay no attention, it happens to us all.”
“I’m flesh and blood, but not human.”
“I promise I’ll get rid of the bodies.”
“They had forgotten the first lesson, that we are to be powerful, beautiful, and without regret.”
“So you want me to tell you the story of my life?”
“What did you see?”
“I’m going to give you the choice I never had.”
“Do we forgive each other then?”
“I’d love to be a vampire. It’d be lovely to be a vampire, wouldn’t it? You’d get to be ancient and eternal, a creature of the night. And vampires get away with murder, quite literally.” — Tom Hiddleston
