♛“Pssssst: that’s not the only thing about him that’s a mouthful.”
Alright *shoves Lestat aside* to answer your question: How to pronounce Louis de Pointe du Lac: you’re lucky I took French in high school which has been EVER so useful to me in my adult life. NOT.
Louis: “Loo-wee”, with less emphasis on the “wee” part.
de: “dih,” means “from” in French.
Pointe: “Pwan” with almost no emphasis on the “n,” means “tip.”
du: “due,” means “of.”
Lac: “Lack,” means, “lake.”
BRING IT ALL TOGETHER! Emphasis on Pointe and Lac bc of reasons.
“Loo-wee dih Pwan due
Lack,” “Louis from the tip of the lake.”
This has been your French lesson.
With the blessing of i-want-my-ivtv (praise be to you Uncle Lestan!) and one
shoulder left (sword-mishandling during a blessing happens a lot more than you
can imagine), here’s a
little tutorial on how to pronounce Louis’ name.
Warning: strong French accent incoming.
IT GOT BETTER. your French accent is impeccable. PARFAIT JUSTE PARFAIT. am I gonna need to coerce you into pronouncing more stuff properly in French hmmmmm?… also you pronounced Lestat the way I prefer, too, none of this weird Germanic “Les-DOT” crap Mater tries to get us to do.
She literally said something in feline. She had to have
This certainly got my cats’ attention.
it looks so betrayed “i thought we were friends human”
She really must say something crazy, cause my two kitties came running towards my notebook and were searching for the source crazily.
Oh my god, I played this video and my cat looked at me SO FUCKING SHOCKED AND HE IS STILL STARING AT ME LIKE I SAID SOMETHING OFFENSIVE
LISTEN UP YALLS
•If you say “meh” high pitched it would mean “help”. Kittens use it a lot to get their mother’s attention before they open their eyes.
•If you do a tongue roll with a sharp “reah” at the end it would mean “come here”. My sister and I use it to call upon stray cats.
•body language is hard to describe. You usually need a tired and relaxed look to seem calm and purrsuasive (lol).
•tongue rolls with a slightly closed mouth can resemble purring in a way that helps attract cats.
•what the person used, or said, was a “help” and “I love you”. The cats body language dictates that it is surprised that a human could use this ability.
•we can’t fully communicate without tails and whiskers.
They need to scrap the idea of making The Vampire Chronicles into any more movies and just do a TV show called The Vampire Lestat on HBO or Showtime, or whatever. They can start with the second book, The Vampire Lestat (obvi), for season 1-Lestat’s origin, how he was turned, Nicholas, Marius, Louis, etc etc and see how it goes from there. There’s so much material, a 2 hour movie just isn’t enough for the characters or the storylines.
Yeah, and I’d be happy with a very freely adapted version of the books, a la what Hannibal does with Thomas Harris’s work. It could tell a lot of the same storylines without having to work its way through the books as written one by one, and they could play around a lot with inserting flashbacks as and when they wanted to either add new material or make the clunkier moments of storytelling in the books more concise.
Just go back in time and get this made pleeeeeeease. Nic Lea and Anne Rice = match made in something something.
^WHAT (you guys, watch the vid in the link bc HELP it’s giving me second-hand embarrassment for some odd reason)
“Anne Rice wrote the pilot about a group of higher beings who have taken human form in New York City and must battle nefarious forces not seen by mere mortals. Unfortunately it wasn´t picked up, so all that remains is this never aired pilot.”
