ooc: tbh. I want L&L wedding in BP, but I want it to be interrupted. Would it continue in the end? *shrugs cuz i’m not Anne Rice*
Priest/Officiant: “If anyone present has any reason why these two should not be wed in holy matrimony, speak now or -”
Everyone raises a hand, the objections are heard (it takes an hour to get through them all), and promptly disregarded.
//^ THIS THOUGH>
EVERYONE will have like a list of reasons. Reason 1: LESTAT IS LESTAT Reason 2: ETERNITY IS A LONG TIME MOTHERFUCKER Reason 3: Doesn’t this legally make Louis a queen? He’s not a very good queen. Reason 4: Look if Louis is going to be my vampire queen. I want him to commit. DRAG RACE IT UP BABYCAKES.
I imagine Louis walking through, say the airport, and people stopping and turning to gawp, mouths open, drooling. Lestat catches up and says “All I have to do to find you, Louis is follow the pools of drool…”
#HEADCANON ACCEPTED.
Louis’ ass has hypnotizing effects, it’s part of his unconscious Mesmerizing Gift, teee heeee *u*
I find it funny that in the Vampire Chronicles, Armand is always perceived as being short, and that he was mistaken for a girl back in the day. He says he’s 5’7", which was the exact average for the time. He wasn’t short, everyone else in the series is just really tall.
//I have heard fan theory before that him saying he’s a specific height (I thought it was 5′6″?) is actually a lie and he’s actually shorter than that.
I think it is 5′6″, at least in his book. but yeah, the average height back when wasn’t tall so either a. everyone else is just really fucking tall, b. he’s lying and he’s way shorter, or c. he’s just one of those people who is so cute he just comes off tinier than he is – which could be why in TVL Lestat is always like GOD HE’S JUST SO SMOL AND CUTE
I “met” Lestat for the first time during my third year of high school and there was the twilight-hype everywhere so all my classmates where like: “read twilight read twilight!) xD I had never thought of reading something vampires-related because I’ve never been an horror fan (better, I can’t read horror because I am afraid of almost everything…especially clowns, but this is another story~) and I had always associated vampires with this genre. Buut I was veeery curious to find out more about these fantasy creatures (I love fantasy! ♡), but Twilight was not at all my cup of tea! so I started browsing in my usual bookshoop and then I found…it: “interview with the vampire”! I remember that I thought: “this title is cool!”, although I expected something like an essay about vampires in literature in the form of an interview (I expected to receive answers on vampires mythology by Louis…now it seems a bit hilarious since he’s always whining about not having a clue xD), but I was not disappointed at all by the actual book *-* and then…it was a marathon of the whole series in a summer and I also saw the movie (and I also made my friends watch it, but not all of them appreciated it …ppst: the Italian dubbing is very good for this one!).
My favourite character at first was Louis (aah the charm of the good and tormented guy!), but then I fell in love with Lestat when I read “the vampire lestat” (“Scelti dalle tenebre”/“Chosen by darkness” in Italian)…very traditional story I guess xD! I love his endless love for life :3 (and I ship him hard with nicki and louis of course u.u). Moreover, I felt really near him in because of some similar thoughts I had in that period of my life, and the part of human-lestat always moves me ;__;
I also like Louis, Gabrielle and David Talbot 🙂 but in general I like them all (well…except Dora *hem hem*).
I’ve also read the mummy and angel time (here only “angel”) but not all anne rice books are published here or some of them are not easy to find (cry to heaven for example) so I think I’ll read them in English! 🙂
I hope my answer was entertaining and my English not too awkward XD
As I said, I love stories like these, and this one did not disappoint, thank u!
Re: Twilight an old memeything by someone else ages ago:
“Scelti dalle tenebre”/“Chosen by darkness” in Italian
^That’s hot. HOT. When does that occur in the book/movie?
the Italian dubbing is very good
Oh wow, I should check that out. I think French is the only other language option on the DVD I have.
Yay! 😀 I’m glad!
This could be renamed as “how Lestat saved me from Twilight LOL
I love that meme! X”’D
I think that the Italian title is referred to the whole “oh what a beautiful child of darkness you will be”…I guess. We changed also other VC titles:
– Blood and gold (I love this title ♡) here is “Il vampiro Marius” (the vampire marius…yes, we have the vampire marius but not the vampire lestat XD)
– Blackwood farm is “il vampiro di blackwood” (the vampire of blackwood)
– Blood canticle is only “blood” because “omg too religious CUT IT CUT IT!”
– Angel time>>only angel because yes
Oh and…we don’t have vittorio the vampire T_T

this is the “dinner scene” 😀 the only strange thing is that they pronounce “Louis” as “Lúi” and it is a pronoun (he/him) in Italian, so some sentences came out a bit…strange and hilarious ’_’
I saw the original version too but I can’t figure out very clearly…what accent are they using? >//
^this is all relevant to my interests. So bizarre, the revision of the titles of all those books!
Watch that dinner scene in Italian, I think they got the voices very close to the original ones. I often find that the French dubs of things, for example, have lower voices in general.

I think the actors ended up sounding just plain American English, although certain characters seemed to have that Creole NOLA accent going (like Yvette, and Claudia’s seamstress) or spoke French entirely (Claudia’s first kill).
Tom’s Lestat was going for a classic novel rhythm to the way he spoke, the emphasis he put on certain words in a sentence. Canon Lestat is half-French and half-Italian (his momma, Gabrielle, is Italian), but he grew up entirely in France so he would have more of a French accent.
“…
I can write with a quill pen in a flurry of curlicues you wouldn’t believe;
let’s see her do that. And I don’t spill a drop of ink on the parchment,
either.”
– Lestat de Lioncourt, Blood Canticle
I believe I read an article about illiteracy that said people who were illiterate into adulthood have far better hand writing than those who learned at a young age. I believe it’s because they valued it more and tended to treat it as a ‘gift’ or ‘art’.
FILED AS: #lestat likes this #lestat is all #omg I am so proud of you #even tho u are slamming me into a tree #look at you finally testing your strength!! #my son #my husband #ily SO MUCH #imma tap your beautiful head to show you how proud I am of you
To me these moments in Interview get SO HILARIOUSonce you read The Vampire Lestat, because, like, in that book you learn that Lestat is a unusually strong vampire since what, day one? He’s beating the shit out fuckin Armand when he’s basically a vampire toddler, and then flash forward to Interview and Louis is all like “omg I’m stronger than u i could beat u and u know it >:(((”, and I’m just
Louis you sweet summer child
How much it must have costed Lestat to not giggle in these moments, tho
“It’s you who need me, and if you touch but one
of the Freniere slaves, I’ll get rid of you. It will be a battle between us,
and I needn’t point out to you I have more wit to fare better in my little
finger than you in your entire frame. Do as I say.” – Louis de Pointe du Lac (Interview with the Vampire)
Louis you sweet summer child! I’m gonna injure myself worse LAUGHING than u could ever hurt me.
//I can’t believe I’m only now coming to the realization that Rose hates flower nicknames because of acid-man. He’s the one who calls her that, and though Lestat also calls her a ‘flower’, it rings differently for Rose.
“I take Holy Communion,” whispered Gardner as he kissed her, “my innocent one, my sweet and gentle one, my flower.”
ooc; I still can’t believe Rose dated a guy whose name was one letter away from being fucking Gardener.
lol no, it’s a top hat. I think. I mean keep in mind this is the 1978 edition so perhaps buckets could be worn as top hats? Or were considered dapper? Or merely served as the inspiration for top hats?? IDEK I AM OLD BUT NOT THAT OLD.
A very unusual white top hat, hella dapper, on Alice Cooper:
