Ahhhh I love your blogggggg! I’ve been in stitches going through your memey-things tag. XD I’ve only recently read up through Tale of the Body Thief, but I’ve been a big fan of Interview With the Vampire in particular for years. It’s kind of an older one, but I thought I’d share a piece of my art with you. Hope you enjoy it!

AsdFGhulds!!1 I love it when this happens. I’VE SEEN YOUR FANART BEFORE, you should know that YOU, yes you, are partially responsible for inspiring this tumblr. 

Ok well FIRST OF ALL – I had seen that fanart before – at least 1 year ago – on DA before I even started this tumblr and I still think it’s hilarious, and I had already posted it here (not knowing you had a tumblr)!! It also inspired one of my early memeythings ❤ 

That one and a few other VC Rage Comics are here, tagged #vc rage. I made a few of ‘em too ;]

Secondly, you love my blog & my memeythings awwww: that’s the reaction I go for! Much appreciate, much flattered.

Clearly I am also a fan of IWTV. 

TL;DR: Please make more fanart/vc rage/etc., if you are so inspired bc I am a fan of YOU.

i-want-my-iwtv do you see Lestat now?

If Lestat were to design a wedding, what do you think he would do?

For whom? I think Lestat would be like David Tutera, he would do a magnificent job as a wedding planner! 

If it’s for himself & Louis (what, are they gonna be King & Queen of the Damned now?! Is Louis gonna be QUEEN OF THE DAMNED???):

  • lots of candles,
  • sparkles,
  • glitz and glamour,
  • tastefully done,
  • and cameos,
  • and the wedding invites would be from Calligraphuck.com: 

To me, Tom Cruise’s Lestat would have made a major difference if they used him instead of Townsend’s in that *atrocious* film titled Queen of the Damned. Tom Cruise’s Lestat was to me, the best adaptation of how I’ve always read him in the books. I’ve said something like that before, probably on this blog. But yeah, Tom Cruise’s Lestat would have made Queen of the Damned as a film for me more substantial and authentic. Lestat is the Brat Prince not Marilyn Manson wannabe. XP

Well, dear, you are preaching to the choir, and we did actually just have this discussion 😉

 Clearly Tom would agree with us both that he was the better Lestat, he had a great time doing it! He seems to look back fondly on the character, even casual encounters like this recent Jack Reacher publicity thing when asked about Lestat, admits “that was a fun character.” 
I don’t know what the QotD director was going for, but he seemed to want a 90’s feel, from the fashion of everyone in the movie, and the music. Korn was one of the badass bands in the 90s. Maybe the director couldn’t get Manson and wanted him.
The whole of QotD was such a trainwreck that I don’t think even Tom could have saved it. Plus he was too old by the time that was made in 2002, he was 40. Not that he looked his age then, but he definitely didn’t look around 21, which is how old Lestat supposed to be. 
 
I’ll add though that as successful as IWTV was, it unleashed a storm of teh ghey rumors on Tom and I think he wanted to avoid encouraging those rumors by reprising that role in particular. Or taking any roles that seemed gay. I can’t think of any other characters he’s played post-IWTV that are clearly bisexual, even.
