helloitsfeffsagain you owe me something, I searched half an hour for it until I found it on my side blog.
Louis expression is on point, though 😀 One of my favourite fanarts. But sadly, the source doesn’t lead to an account of deviantart anymore :((
Oh, thank you so much. I’m sorry, I thought that you’ve saved the pic somewhere “near to you”, like the gallery of your phone like I do. :cc In return I can give you this pic of Louis and Lestat that I love (but it’s not mine, obv) :
Well I would have had it on my phone, but I wanted to give credits to the artist cause there is no name on the graphic. Thank you, hadn’t seen that one yet^.^
I don’t know. These fuckers have always been in my life I don’t even remember, it’s like that stray cats you find in your trash bin and they decide they’re going to live with you now?
Thank u! Wow, they changed the title of TVL to “Chosen by Darkness”. Wonder why? Obviously Lestat was Chosen by Darkness, claimed by it, not having the choice himself.
Google translate tells me your fave quote is:
I saw the universe , the sun , the planets and the stars , and the dark night that lasts forever . I started laughing . < You know it ! We will never know why the hell has happened , even when it will end ! > “ .
Which is different than the English version:
I saw the universe, a vision of the sun, the planets, the stars, black night going on forever. And I began to laugh. "Do you realize that! We’ll never know why the hell any of it happened, not even when it’s over!”
A big thing I remember being shocked and impressed with when I first read the VC at 11 yrs old was that Anne Rice was getting away with several cardinal sins in writing:
starting a sentence with “And”
starting a sentence with “But”
Adding Capital Letters Wherever it looks like it might Add Impact (we refer to these as Rice Caps)
So many more…
It looks like in the Italian translation, at least in that one quote you shared, has corrected the starting a sentence with “And” sin!
That, and the other changes, may be error(s) in Google translate. It’s still interesting to compare.
//Well I have no idea who he is but the person who posted the original pic is Norwegian so I sent her a question about it. We’ll see if she replies.
//All hail my supreme internet skills – she didn’t recall his name but after some googling it turns out it’s Tristan Zieverink. He’s the brother of Jacko Zieverink, who also looks ridiculously like Tom Cruise and who was a contestant on The Voice Germany (singing Somebody To Love, hilariously enough, so it’s good classic rock genes all the way). And even better, there’s five of them in the family, and they have a band. For extra stalker points, his profile pics on facebook are public. You’re welcome! 😀
i love the idea of lestat being a huge fan of selfie culture and also sending gabrielle awful snapchats all the time with louis unwillingly participating in them
I imagine Lestat is excellent with technology and social networking but pretends that he isn’t for the sake of trolling, or bc he enjoys it when Louis thinks he knows something Lestat doesn’t.
Lestat likes having Louis explain things because Louis is very thorough and patient, which Lestat finds irresistibly endearing ❤
