would you happen to have any ridiculous Lestat quotes? im looking for new tattoo ideas thankssssss

Oooh! That’s a cool idea… Fandom, let’s gather some ridiculous Lestat quotes for a tatt on this post. Mention the book it came from, too, if you can.

Here’s some I grabbed from IWTV, they’re not all ridiculous but they might work as a tatt, anyways. They all sound like canon to me, but check a legit copy of the book bc these are from an unreliable PDF.

Ridiculous Lestat quotes from IWTV:

I’ll play the drum if I like! 

[^fanart by @garama]

  • Stop looking at my buttons,
  • Don’t fall
    so madly in love with the night that you lose your way!
  • You’re dying, that’s all; don’t be a fool.

  • You’ll have to bed down with me this morning. I
    haven’t prepared you a coffin.

  • If I want to sleep all day
    and drink all night, I’ll do it, damn you!

  • Now, I’m getting into the coffin, and you will get in on top of me if you
    know what’s good for you.
  • The hell I won’t!

  • He’s dead, you idiot!

  • Don’t be such a damned idiot. Haven’t you ever seen a rat?

image
  • Rats can be quite nice
  • [Re: a shattered crystal glass that he shattered] You don’t mind, do you? I surely hope you
    don’t, because there’s nothing much you can do about it if you do
    mind.
  • I’d like to meet the devil some night, I’d chase him from here to the wilds of the Pacific. I
    am the devil.
  • I ought to drive your horse
    into the swamps. You’d have to dig yourself a hole and smother!

  • You whining coward of a vampire who prowls the night killing alley
    cats and rats and staring for hours at candles as if they were people and standing in the rain like a zombie until your clothes are drenched and you smell like old wardrobe trunks in attics and have the look of a
    baffled idiot at the zoo. (<— This is probably too long but a piece of it might work, like “Staring at nature like a baffled idiot at the zoo” which is my tag for cool nature-related stuff, and some ppl have even adopted it from me.)

  • You’re being morbid! It’s almost dawn.
  • I
    can give you death more easily than I gave you life!
  • Did I kill him or did I not kill
    him! What’s your guess?

Hi Lestat ! I have a question for you… Have or would you a tattoo ? If yes, What kind ? Calligraphy with silly words, an animal, roses ? I’m curious.

♛I love decorating my body with jewelry and clothing, why not tattoos? The artistry with some of them has become quite stunning. Especially the ‘watercolor’ methods. Abstract or specific, body art is very much art. I like biting directly into it on my victims, too. These neck tattoos… *licks lips*

image

A little story for you… I discovered sometime in the 90’s that we can be tattooed, but that the tattoo will fade away entirely during the deathsleep. Daniel may have been involved. Of course we decided that I absolutely had to get a large tattoo across my chest that read, “Property of Louis” in huge black calligraphic lettering, just to see Louis’ reaction. When I spread open my shirt to reveal the work of art, every drop of blood drained from his face!

He was frozen in that special moment before the judgment begins. It was a sight to behold. Instead of lay in with the judgment as usual, he actually shifted into damage control, terrified it would last forever, and immediately started looking into laser-removal treatments! He fell asleep at the computer that morning and had to be carried safely to bed.

How relieved was he when my branding had disappeared by the following night? After some heavy physical punishment to my person, he treated me very well for the entire night. How so? Read between the lines, mes petits.

Jesse/Yvette made my day, thank you!

That’s so sweet of you! You’ve made my day, telling @wicked-felina and me this *u*

VC has few F/F (are we supposed to call them w|w now?) ships, there is plenty of room for more. It would be such an honor if Yvette and Jesse became a new ship thanks to our little AU!

image

Jesse/Yvette was something we didn’t predict, and it’s not a real ship (yet!). Btw, that’s Hattie Watson as Jesse on the right, from her IG. I’m using a pic of Yvette from movie!IWTV bc our Yvette was originally inspired by movie!IWTV’s Yvette, who some of us headcanon grew up with Louis and was more of a sister to him than his own sister. That they genuinely cared about eachother. In our fic,

Yvette is a baker par excellence, grew up with Louis, and they even were a couple at one point. That’s long over now, but they’re very good friends.

[X] Lookit this cutie, Hattie Watson! She has tatts, she could be a modern AU Jesse w/ tatts.

Hit the jump for more pics of Jesse.

[X] Lovin’ those freckles!

[X] Did I mention she has tatts? She has them.

Lestat, care to give us 5 fun facts about you?

♛You want fun facts? Fun facts… mon dieu, what haven’t I told you about myself in all these books? Minutiae I suppose. Or what I consider to be so.

image

1. I have a coffee-colored birthmark on my lower abs, on the left, near my Adonis muscle, which can be seen just above the waistline of low-rise jeans. My mother has an identical mark on the opposite side, a mirror reflection of mine. It was something she and I had some kind of inside joke about when I was a small child, but I can’t for the life of me remember the punchline. It would send us both into the kind of laughter that makes your face hurt.

2. Oh! This is worth telling: I discovered sometime in the 90’s that we can be tattooed, but that the tattoo will fade away entirely during the Deathsleep. Daniel may have been involved. Of course we decided that I absolutely had to get a large tattoo across my chest that read, “Property of Louis” in huge black calligraphic lettering, just to see Louis’ reaction. When I spread open my shirt to reveal the work of art, every drop of blood drained from his face!

He was frozen in that special moment before the judgment begins. It was a sight to behold. Instead of lay in with the judgment as usual, he actually shifted into damage control, terrified it would last forever, and immediately started looking into laser-removal treatments! He fell asleep at the computer that morning and had to be carried safely to bed.

How relieved was he when my branding had disappeared by the following night? After some heavy physical punishment to my person, he treated me very well for the entire night. How so? Read between the lines, mes petits.

3. I do have taste preferences with blood. For the appetizer, as you know, I like it young and fresh, and I like to get the victim fairly emotionally stimulated because it adds spice. Women especially, for the more delicate package, too, and all the softness. For the main course, older is better, and angry, preferably. A touch of fear is good. Adrenaline makes older blood that much richer. Men, usually, the struggling muscles feels so very soothing.

4. When I’m not devising a scheme to drive him crazy, I leave Louis post-it love notes hidden in various places where he’s sure to find them. Yes, I do that! I am sickeningly romantic. Tactically romantic; those notes tend to plead my case better than I can when we’re deeply embroiled in a fight.

5. I may have ordered custom-made fangs for a special precious friend of mine, molded off of my own. And I might tell you more about that another time… if you beg properly.

So I saw on of your post and one of your questions was what is your favorite scene in IWTV and to me that’s a very hard question to answer. I have tons of favorite scenes and I guess my favorite scene would have to be Claudia sharing a coffin with Louis. So cute. 😏

It’s definitely one of the sweetest and cutest moments in the whole story. 

image

Also, there’s this parallel in that Claudia is cradling a doll against her, and Louis is cradling his doll (Claudia herself) against him. Claudia’s and the doll’s face are similar in their direction. Claudia has her cheek in the doll’s hair, and her hand in Louis’ hair, and Louis has his lips in Claudia’s hair. It’s all very cuddly *u*

Someone got it tattooed on them!

More melancholy nonsense after the jump.

In movie!IWTV, the first night Louis spends without Claudia since her turning is the night the Theatre des Vampires separates them, and beats him up. It’s one week after he turned Madeleine, so he may have been sharing his coffin with Madeleine, or alone, but just one week later, he spends the day locked in a metal coffin upside down with no cushioning, stripped of most of his usual comforts ;A;

Children sleep with dolls/stuffed animals for a feeling of safety, protective of their comfort object but also feeling like it can protect them back. Kids sometimes do sleep with their parents when they’re very young (that old, “Mommy I had a nightmare!” thing). This is where the mommy!Louis fanon comes from.

I like the idea that Louis and Claudia were protective and nurturing to each other in a way that Lestat couldn’t be at that time.
