You Are the Night

(different anon) I read all your posts about Anne Rice’s really strange views on her own characters (Gabrielle being a bad mother like bitch where!?) and I just decided to settle for not caring about AR’s opinions. She is just a human being, and I think me and her see the characters pretty differently, which shouldn’t prevent me from loving them on and on :D
#^THIS #AGREES AGGRESSIVELY
I, PERSONALLY, don’t need AR’s validation of my opinion on canon. We all have our own headcanon. We can all love the characters in our own way. A good story (or piece of music or art, or whatever) DOES make you “read between the lines,” it DOES make you curious. It leaves things open enough for you to fill in the blanks. It doesn’t need to explicitly state everything for you, and the author has no obligation to do so, either. This has been true ever since the very first story was ever told, the first artwork ever made.
Most of all, I’m forever grateful for the gift she has given us. I don’t have to agree with her to still feel that gratitude.
If you don’t like a character’s trajectory in canon, that’s what fanworks are for 😉 Just try to be respectful of each other, abide by the Fandom Laws and we can all enjoy it all together, which is what we all want, right?
Is it possible that they like recycle the jewels from the old lady with the poodles and gave them to Claudia during the ball scene? They look so similar!
Good eye! It’s not exactly the same, but very similar.
It’s worth mentioning that Claudia and that widow have some things in common:
- wearing yellow.
- blonde (well the poodle lady probably dyes it, but it counts).
- they both seem to be pretty in love with Louis
who isn’t? -
Louis almost kills them.
In the book, the dress Claudia dies in is actually yellow silk *cries* And in the book, Lestat would occasionally bring Claudia jewelry from his victims bc he’s all about not letting things go to waste 😉
How about this, though: Louis wears the same two rings for his ENTIRE AFTERLIFE.
paperworkninja reblogged your post and added:
So wait, I can come back? I can finally come back to my fandom and contribute fan works?! I was also around during the fanfiction purge, knew authors who were slapped with orders from Anne’s lawyers and helped hide secret archives of VC fic so this? This has made my day!
Yes! Welcome back to the party *u* It seems that Certain People are content to live and let live re: fanworks.
(But we are rational about it, we only post to sites like AO3 publicly; we still keep some things as They Must Be Kept, just in case…)
I am thoroughly convinced Lestat is one of those people who does this really annoying voice for people he doesn’t like when retelling stories.
Oh definitely! This isn’t exactly what you meant but I remembered this dialogue from Hook, and my hand slipped, you can tell Lestat would be using a very annoying voice here to imitate Claudia:
Sexuality: Tired™
[X]
He’s sleeping w/ Armand.

Lestat’s face is just like “holy fuck that’s brilliant why didn’t i think of that we have the smartest child in the world”
