Lestat and Armand.

“Put it away, John. There’s no point.”
“You are so clever, aren’t you, Sherlock Holmes. So very clever. Perhaps I should keep you…”
~~~
when i was 12 or 13 i got way into the vampire chronicles and ended up reading so many awful vampire novels because of it and p much nothing topped lestat okay
what a little bitch
also there were only four books nothing after body thief counts you can’t convince me otherwise memnoch who da fuck is that idekAnd Lestat would be SO into Sherlock and would turn him and then be completely surprised when their relationship became a clusterfuck. But he’d still hold out hope! 😀
Someone edited R.E.M.’s “Losing My Religion” to be in major instead of minor and it is absurd.
That’s me in the corner 😀
That’s me in the spot 😀 light 😀Losing my religion XDDD
Marius: “To be godless is probably the first
step to innocence, to lose the sense of sin and subordination, the false grief
for things supposed to be lost.”
Lestat:
“So by innocence you mean not an absence of experience, but an absence of
illusions.”
Marius:
“An absence of need for illusions. A love of and respect for what is right
before your eyes.”
Free Pass: So. Was it really the blood of Christ, or were we both mad?
Oh Lestat.
I don’t know. I still think about it, perhaps more frequently than you imagine. The things I saw in the blood, the things I felt… the awe and the terror. At the time, I believed it may have been real. That having tried to enter the holy of holies and see for myself, I’d been found wanting, and cast aside.
Now… I’m not so sure. It seems hubristic, doesn’t it? To think that such powers would interfere with us? I think that whatever it was that could create such spectacles, could remove you entirely from our ability to sense your presence in the world, it had power, immense power. And perhaps, after all, the being that sought you out was the Devil – I mean to say perhaps it was the entity which through its dealings with man had inspired the idea of the Devil, thousands of years ago. But God? Heaven? Christ?
Call me the puritan fool if you will, but if such divinity exists, I distrust the idea that beings such as ourselves would merit its attention.
Was the grape scene in the movie scripted?
As far as I know, after 400 years, 21 years of torturing myself with this trash i love, that scene was unscripted, but it was probably storyboarded!
Although I don’t have them for this scene, I’ve found a few storyboards by Martin Asbury for this movie. Someone needs to pry it from him!!!
I did check, this scene is not in the April ‘92 script, but much of that script changed. Someone out there must have a more recent script… There are several that were written after the movie came out, those are transcriptions of what was released in the final cut, not the last shooting script.
In The Vampire Lestat, didn’t Lestat describe his eyes changing color to a much more grey-blue type color?
“My eyes are gray, but they absorb the colors blue or violet easily from surfaces around them.” – TVL
His first study of his own reflection after being turned: “and my eyes had been transformed from their usual blue to a mingling of violet and cobalt that was softly iridescent.” – TVL
Magnus, in TVL: “…and the blue sky fixed forever in your eyes.” Magnus, TVL
So Lestat’s eyes:
- had this effect as a mortal and looked blue to Magnus; or
- were actually blue as a mortal and not gray-blue-violet-magical until he was turned; or
- really were always closer to gray-blue than just gray.
This is if we trust Magnus, do we really? IIRC, it’s the only description we have of mortal!Lestat’s eye color. IDK! Lestat supposedly shares his mother’s features
and coloring
(”In fact I resemble her at least superficially.” –TVL) and she is described as having blue eyes:
Lestat, in TVL about mortal!Gabrielle: “And she had very clear cobalt blue eyes fringed with thick ashen lashes.”
Khayman, in QOTD: “There wasn’t a particle of fear in her cold blue eyes…”
Lestat, in TVL about vampire!Gabrielle:
“Her eyes opened. Violet blue and glittering,”
Okay so I can’t dig up every single quote about Lestat’s eyes from other’s POVs bc c’mon I am human, so here’s a few:
Marius, in QOTD: “The ice-blue eyes, darkening with laughter…”
Khayman, in QOTD: “… [Lestat’s] violet blue eyes.”
Jesse, in QOTD: “[Lestat’s] pale crystalline blue eyes…”
Akasha, in QOTD: “to see the light in your blue eyes,”
“All the props to thelionscrimsonclaws . Their Lestat is magnificent and completely on point. It really is like Lestat himself made a blog and they seem to stay in character most of the time outside of rp-replies as well, which is impressive dedication to the character.”
Oh! My thanks to someone for pointing out this tender morsel to me…..I’m really quite oblivious sometimes!
You’re damned right, Anonymous Reader! How do you know that I’m not? *fiendish grin*
And I hear an echo from the past…
“Now he will really be impossible! ”
thank you! I had a feeling telling you would be a good idea since your blog is chockful of vc goodness
You’re so welcome!
That’s the original purpose -and still a major one- of my blog: to be a collection of inspiration to the fanartists in making more yummy fanworks to feeeeed the VC addiction of all of us adorable fanged little trash kittens ❤
Did they look like psychos? Is that what they looked like? They were vampires. Psychos do not explode when sunlight hits them, I don’t give a fuck how crazy they are! (From Dusk Till Dawn, 1996)
#from dusk till dawn#dude they do not show a vampire playing with their fangs often enough cinematically#bc that is the first damn thing i would do#EVERY NIGHT#play with or touch fangs#bc they are mega awesome okay#repeatedly bite own lip to scare ppl#YES#this is how I would vampire#yes I would like to vampire plz#how to vampire#not VC#VC adjacent
#SERIOUSLY I DON’T HEAR ABOUT JUST HAVING FANGS ENOUGH #I mean those two idiots in iwtv took every chance to show their fangs with a stretched grin or open mouthed laugh but to actually play with #their fangs like a nervous tick #especially newbie vamps #because just learning how to talk again without biting off your tongue after getting those things #like that would take a couple days at least
YES ALL THAT #AUGH #THIS IS ALL WE GET IN TERMS OF A VAMPIRE PLAYING WITH HIS FANGS IT IS NOT NEARLY ENOUGH #but praise him for doing it I bet it was not in the script #ACTING #PROFESSIONAL ACTING
