Y’know, it’s very hard to hear it, but Louis actually replies: “You call this PEACE?!” as he knocks the glass away. Lestat’s main point is to Get Over Yourself THIS IS WHAT YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO DO So Drink It, Bitch, whereas Louis is more concerned with the grotesque means of extracting it.
Oh, what a title to bear!? But I made a thing for you, anon.
Here’s the pretty scene what took a place in Palais Royal (from The Vampire Lestat, part V: The Vampire Armand), first thing what came up to my mind since I couldn’t think about anything original.
I love those two idiots.
I had tears in my eyes when I reread that part after a long time oh my god
AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
LESTAT/ARMAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111
/CRIES FOR ONE OF MY UNAPPRECIATED OTPS
!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SCREAMING THID IS MY FAVORITE SCENE IN TVL BETWEEN THOSE TWO AND IM JUST BLESS YOUR GARAMA MY BBY OTP!!! NOISES!!!
I had a crush on Tom Cruise because of this movie.
(Unfortunate decisions by tall brunettes! I feel you Katie Holmes.)
But look, I couldn’t help it. Lestat wasn’t just a snarky blond bisexual vampire who treated sacred vampire laws as skittles in the bowling alley of his life.
(VAMPIRE ELDERS: We claw our way from the grave promptly at—
LESTAT: What up, just out of my bed of silk and velvet. LADIES, THINK ABOUT SHOWERS.
VAMPIRE ELDERS: Here is the throne room of the king and queen of all vampires, preserved in silent immortality. Gaze upon them from a reverent distance.
LESTAT: I just made out with the vampire queen’s face.
VAMPIRE ELDERS: All vampires must be anonymous. Keep us secret, keep us safe.
LESTAT: I’ve become a rock star!!!)
He was also, as we see in this very gif set, an astute critic of the problem of vampire literature.
Lestat is, in many ways, basically an eternal teenager* (he’s like 20 but he totally was.)
Vampire Elders: DO NOT DO THIS ONE THING ABOVE ALL.
Lestat: *does it* *DOES IT BIGGER*
Louis: Don’t you think maybe you shouldn’t do that….
LESTAT: *DOES IT IN YOUR FACE ON MTV* *DOES IT AND MAKES IT COOL*
Louis: *sigh*
These books were my childhood. In retrospect, that probably explains a lot about me.
*I mean that in the best way. Teenagers are awesome and trying to figure out themselves and the world, and Lestat was the same way.
