once upon a time young young teenage me used to write fan fiction like my life depended on it, new fics every week and I had no idea there was someone out there printing out my fics and putting them in a box to read when they needed something to cheer them up
anyways fast forward to 20 year old me on my third date with Emily and she mentions offhand that she’s got this box of fic she printed out and saved
it’s a few months later after that and she shows me one of the fics in the box and holy shit that’s my garbage fic from so long ago
anyways my point is life is a fucking trip my dude
i still remember when we found this out. i don’t think either of us stopped yelling for hours
look it’s been eight years and I’m still like LMAO I MARRIED A FAN
This is the cutest thing I’ve ever read in my whole life
So I’ve only seen QOTD 1x all the way through, and I had people helping me through it by making fun of it via group rewatch, so I couldn’t come up with drinking game rules other than just buy one bottle of wine per person and work your way through it the entire time, maybe every 5 minutes take a sip?
Nonono wait, don’t die of alcohol poisoning I can’t afford to lose a follower that way!
Opening this up to everyone. Anyone have drinking game rules for QOTD?
YO I GOT THIS
It’s funny, I was actually thinking about coming up with rules for this movie only a day or two ago. As with all movie-related drinking games, I recommend cherry picking only a few from these, as using them all might result in death, but here’s what I was able to come up with. I like the two rules fairytalesgoneawrysuggested, so I am gonna slap them in here as the first two:
– Every time Marius makes a new vampire – Every time you see Armand’s nipples – Every time you see Lestat’s nipples – Guys, there are just nipples everywhere in this movie, it’s hilarious – Every time a vampire hisses – Every time a vampire’s eyes turn red
– Every time cryptic cello music plays – Every time the word “shadows” is used – Every time the word “friend(s)” is used sarcastically – Drink/drain (your choice) for each nu metal song you recognize in the background
– Every time IRL media-related branding is blatantly mentioned/shown on screen – Every time someone on screen is wearing a fishnet/mesh top – If you’re feeling ambitious, every time a background character is wearing a pleather outfit/every time Lestat is wearing leather pants – Every time a scene has bad vampire slow-fast-mo in it (take it easy on this one there will be plenty of opportunities lmao) – Every time Akasha does something that is intended to look cryptic and alluring, but just comes off as absurd – Every time Akasha hand flicks someone to death – Drain every time there’s a shitty abstract Akasha-related montage
– Every time a vampire goes jet packing into the sky – Every time Lestat makes a joke about “meals/eating” – Every time Lestat gives someone excessive bedroom eyes – Drain every time Marius says “hello, David :D”
– Drink for Marius’s golf clap on stage, I can’t even you guys
– Every time one of Lestat’s managing staff are visibly uncomfortable – Every time Lestat’s journal is passed on to a different person – Every time someone tells Jesse not to do something – Every time Jesse does it anyway – Every time you think “shouldn’t Louis have been in this scene?” – Every time a character dies THAT FUCKING SHOULDN’T HAVE
Lestat: WOW LIFE SUCKS ON THIS MAGICAL MALL ISLAND THAT DOUBLES AS OUR SAFE HAVEN (seriously what let me live there pls), GOING 2 THE DESERT, BE BACK NEVER

THE END
“… two wet shriveled things that had been alive, mother and daughter in one another’s arms, the murdered pair on the kitchen floor. But these two lying under the gentle rain were Madeleine and Claudia, … the hand that clutched at the child was whole like a mummy’s hand. But the child, the ancient one, my Claudia, was ashes.”
– Louis de Pointe du Lac, Interview with the Vampire
WHY WOULD SOMEONE GIF THIS SCENE HOW DARE YOU SIR
IT HAD TO BE DONE
Basically bc it seemed like noone else had tried to do it before, and it should be highlighted how magnificent Brad Pitt is/was. Never ever say he is just a pretty face! He is basically doing it all alone in this scene. It’s a monologue w/out words. Maybe this is the inner monologue:
“So what’s in here… oh shit… oh fuck NO. NOOOOOOO… Oh sweet jesus… maybe she can be fixed? I’m gonna touch her- No, no, no… that was bad. She’s really gone.”
I would rather have watched these outtakes than the movie, tbh.
LMAO Ok, so I actually used to LOVE this awful movie when it first came out. Feel free to judge, I was in only 7th grade at the time, and most films with darker themes were still new and fresh and exciting to me back then (thinking about it, the movie may have been my gateway into the VC universe). My opinion of it has changed pretty drastically since then. But I created some pretty fond memories with the friends I was close with in those days, when we would watch it together, so I can’t bring myself to hate it entirely. XD
But yeah, I really get the biggest kick out of seeing actors dressed up, but out of character, having a blast on movie sets. And as atrocious an adaptation (and, well…movie) as it is, Queen of the Damned’s gag reel is one of my favorites of any movie’s that I’ve seen. I’ll admit some of this has to do with nostalgia, but I think it’s mainly because as I watch it, it seems like the actors were frequently losing their shit during filming, and even themselves collectively going through feelings of WHAT IS THIS I DON’T EVEN WHAT DID I SIGN ON FOR, and it just makes me laugh how SO DONE they look, at times. I’m probably doing a lot of projecting here, but this is all just the impression I take away from what little we’re shown. And the cheesy big band music they chose to go with it just makes me love it that much more.
This is all only my own personal experience of course. I certainly don’t blame VC fans for hating it. TL;DR, this movie’s awful, but I could watch its ridiculous gag reel 5EVAR
