What do you think Santiago’s motivation behind his persecution of Louis? I think he was madly (like, genuinely crazily, because he IS crazy) in love with Armand.

Santiago loves to persecute, he loved torturing his victims onstage, he’s a manipulative bastard! Even better when the victim is a particularly lovely creature like Louis ;]

Yeah, I suspect and there is a secret fanfic that supports this theory that Santiago considered himself 2nd-in-command and maybe more to Armand, and he felt himself very usurped when Louis came into the picture, and had it in for Louis from the first moment Armand made heart-eyes at Louis.

Santiago was also a Vampire of the Rules, as long as following them worked for him. Louis had been an active accomplice in attempting to kill his own maker twice (THE cardinal undead crime); attempting to keep it a secret doesn’t engender trust in such a member, in fact it provides a good reason to feel threatened by them.

So I met Santiago Stephen Rea last night after his performance in A Particle of Dread, and brought him two headshots, intending for him to choose which one he preferred to sign.

He signed both. I was very pleased.

To explain the “20 yrs” comment: I had told him I’ve been a fan of his for 20 yrs “…because of this,” and that’s when I handed him the headshots. He smiled, said, “Oh, that was so fun.” And then I asked him for a memorable story from the set. He thought for a moment, and said he couldn’t really remember anything specific except the Fred Astaire gag, and I let him explain it to me, even though WE ALREADY KNOW HOW THAT WORKED FROM THE DVD bc clearly, it was his most memorable moment.

Sorry you can’t see my face with him, but I felt like I’d asked enough of him, couldn’t ask for a selfie, too… and so you get my backside and his frontside!

PS. He liked my pen. It’s a Marvy calligraphy pen, 2.0. I almost gave it to him. It’s a great pen to use when getting autographs bc of the variable line weight.

This scene created in me a life-long desire to own a scythe.

SAME. Also every scene where someone pets Louis’s hair made me want to have hair like him. Siiiigh.

In the book it was just a random farm scythe. Stronger element of JUSTICE in the movie version, to be killed by your own – and very real, not a prop – scythe.

“In a kitchen garden I saw something, something that had only been vague in my thoughts until I had my hands on it. It was a small scythe, its sharp curved blade still caked with green weeds from the last mowing. And once I’d wiped it clean and run my finger along the sharp blade, it was as if my plan came clear to me and I could move fast to my other errands…” – Interview with the Vampire

George, Sr.: They cannot arrest a husband and wife for the same crime.

Michael: Yeah? I don’t think that that’s true, Dad. 

George, Sr.: I’ve got the worst [bleep]ing attorneys!

Inspired by vampiredevelopment, I tried one of these. It does work! This one was from arrestedwesteros, though. I’ll try not to step on either of your toes too much with these. I didn’t tag it as mine since it’s technically your idea *bows humbly.*

^Yes that is Stephen Rea. With what appears to be goggles made of entrails. You’re welcome. 

I have tickets to see this play on 1/3/15 here in NY! Considering printing this headshot of him as Santiago for him to sign afterwards… what do you think, would he be flattered or go for my small intestine for fresh goggles?
