LESTAT’S NEVER BEEN LOVED BACK ARE YOU KIDDING ME Just take my heart and destroy it. I am ruined.
;A; IKR??
Well, that quote refers to movie!IWTV. If you’ve read TVL, you know Lestat’s been loved before in his life ;]
And, technically, it happens in an about 10 min in the movie, but Lestat, Louis, and Claudia happily together for some 60+ years, so there was love then 😉
sometimes i think that what lestat needs is some molly weasley in his life, like, a mum who will BEAT SOME SENSE IN THAT EMPTY BLONDE HEAD, KICK HIS ASS IN FRONT OF HIS FRIENDS and then drag him home and give him warm blood soup and kiss him in his coffin, bye love sleep well beware of the sun mummy AGGRESSIVELY LOVES YOU
maybe he wouldn’t have so many issues then, but also maybe not
#It got better #Agrees Aggressively
Well Gabrielle does slap him when it’s called for, but yeah, she could be doing so much more!
That’s sort of what Claudia did to him, but in a much meaner way, when she made her point. On his face.
^See, this is a Lestat who’s giving you his full attention and ready to learn a thing 😉
I don’t know. These fuckers have always been in my life I don’t even remember, it’s like that stray cats you find in your trash bin and they decide they’re going to live with you now?
It’s funny that you said illustrator bc my headcanon is that Lestat can’t draw to save his life (that’s why claudia liked drawing so much), vampire or not
Also: Lestat the young theatre actor. Louis the bookshop owner. Armand the eternal intern lol
Hmmmm, well, yeah, I used to headcanon that Lestat can’t draw, but then there are these quotes about his handwriting, so I feel like he does have some skill, but maybe just hasn’t really tried to Art specifically:
“… Lestat does everything in a big way-covers half the page with his magnificent lettering.” – David Talbot, Queen of the Damned
“[Mona’s] generation, with Touch-Tone phones. Big deal! I can write with a quill pen in a flurry of curlicues you wouldn’t believe; let’s see her do that. And I don’t spill a drop of ink on the parchment, either.” – Lestat de Lioncourt, Blood Canticle
Lestat the young theatre actor WELL OBVIOUSLY! *facepalm for missing that on my list*
Louis would definitely be a bookshop owner, he would handwrite all those little Staff Rec tabs, too. And he wouldn’t sell special editions to anyone he felt wouldn’t take care of them.
Ouch but picture going through eternity with a sightly uneven, shorter-than-you-wanted haircut. Imagine this kind of pain! D:
THAT REALLY WOULD BE omg. I’d be like, “Hold up, can you come back when this haircut has grown out? It’s really… not a style that can stand the test of time, lol.”
Or like, for dudes, beard grizzle? Or lack of beard grizzle…. clean-shaven for eternity with no ability to grow one’s own hipster-beard EVER. We should be grateful Lestat was such. I can’t picture him w/ any kind of facial hair, ewwww.
I imagine Louis purposely shaved on his last day (tho he probably didn’t know it wouldn’t grow back; it’s doubtful that Lestat gave him that level of detail), he had the time to prepare, but they don’t always. Alot of Ricean vampires are turned on short notice, no clean-up time available.
FILED AS: #lestat likes this #lestat is all #omg I am so proud of you #even tho u are slamming me into a tree #look at you finally testing your strength!! #my son #my husband #ily SO MUCH #imma tap your beautiful head to show you how proud I am of you
To me these moments in Interview get SO HILARIOUSonce you read The Vampire Lestat, because, like, in that book you learn that Lestat is a unusually strong vampire since what, day one? He’s beating the shit out fuckin Armand when he’s basically a vampire toddler, and then flash forward to Interview and Louis is all like “omg I’m stronger than u i could beat u and u know it >:(((”, and I’m just
Louis you sweet summer child
How much it must have costed Lestat to not giggle in these moments, tho
“It’s you who need me, and if you touch but one
of the Freniere slaves, I’ll get rid of you. It will be a battle between us,
and I needn’t point out to you I have more wit to fare better in my little
finger than you in your entire frame. Do as I say.” – Louis de Pointe du Lac (Interview with the Vampire)
Louis you sweet summer child! I’m gonna injure myself worse LAUGHING than u could ever hurt me.
|| I will take Antonio over creepy cherub guy trying way too hard to be 17 but looks 40 any day. I just pretend Antonio is Santino fucking with you.
I like the idea that it’s Santino fucking with us, hahaha.
I have such nostalgia for Antonio!Armand. Antonio doesn’t deserve the hate he gets for Armand, he did a great job, and brought a dark European hawtness to it. Check out my #Defending Antonio tag for legitimate ideas defending his casting.
In essence: if they had cast a cherubic teenage redhead (or older creepy cherub dude trying to look 17 *cough cough* movie!QotD *cough*) it might have been confusing to people who hadn’t read the books, and might have taken the sympathy away from Louis (who was supposed to remain the focus, it’s HIS story, after all). That would have been compromised by omg cute little redhead bby we want to snuggles you! <– If the person at least had the right appearance.
Let’s say it was an appeal to those who hadn’t read the book(s) … casting an Armand that they could understand more easily as being a more mature/father/teacher figure for Louis.
Also I read it somewhere that since Louis already had that dubious relationship with Claudia, casting someone also very young to play Armand would make Louis appear a pedophile for the non-reader audience, maybe? It makes sense perhaps but I can’t remember where I saw it!
That’s a legit headcanon! And a good reason why the Bed, Bath and Beyond in NOLA is always mysteriously sold out of red bedlinens… hmmmm…
^This was in response to the vampire asexuality post here. I’d like to discuss these in further detail… would anyone be interested if I made a spillover page for larger discussion topics where you could comment easier? Even comment on Anon?
