Alice Lestat in Chains
Chained Lestat by fabioalexworld
“No entanto, o convento estava vazio. Todos os pequenos fantasmas haviam sumido. O convento era meu. Do servo de Memnoch; príncipe de Memnoch. Eu estava só na minha prisão.”
“However, the convent was empty. All the little ghosts were gone. The convent was mine. Memnoch’s servant; Memnoch’s prince. I was alone in my prison.”
[Edit: better translation provided by nyctomanic]
Larme D’or, Anne Marie Zilberman
Holy fuck this is beautiful
“Do you know what I think about crying? I think some people have to learn to do it. But once you learn, once you know how to really cry, there’s nothing quite like it. I feel sorry for those who don’t know the trick. It’s like whistling or singing.”
Is there any reason to why Claudia cried real tears and not blood tears right before Louis turned Madeleine into a vampire? Isn’t vampires supposed to cry blood tears? I have been wondering…
Ricean vampires do cry blood tears in the books. Other vampires might not. Claudia would have cried blood tears.
In this production still from a cut scene, it looks like Claudia does have blood tears:
I don’t know why they didn’t actually do it throughout the movie. Looks like they at least tried, though :-
Here’s another production still. Maybe the director didn’t like the thickness of them? Or the fact that they would be difficult to add in physically, since you’d have to redo her makeup for each take? In the books, blood tears are basically regular tears tinged with blood, so they would probably look pink, not so thick and red as these are. These look like ketchup.
I think Lestat should confess something
♛ What have I not confessed to you in 10 novels*?! Ye gods, you people want my blood, don’t you?
Alright I’m being a little melodramatic. What kind of confession do you want? I’ll consider it.
*We don’t count Louis’ novel bc it was Louis’ novel, regardless that we shared the same ghostwriter.
