The vampire for me is a metaphor for the outsider, the outcast, the predator in all of us —- the lonely one, the heart and soul that feels immortal even when it knows that we all die. Vampire characters help me to talk about reality. They always have. When I’m with Lestat, and Armand and Louis, and Gabrielle, I’m in the real world. All colors blaze bright and music soars to Heaven and I’m not lonely for a while, I’m safe. And that’s why I write about them and through them and with them.

When she writes things like this I can’t help but love her somewhat (despite all the reasons not to), because when I/we read the VC, all colors blaze bright and music soars to Heaven and I’m not lonely for a while, I’m safe. And that’s why I read about them and through them and with them.

You know what I mean? She’s brought us together with this fantasy world, and if that isn’t magic in itself, to create a fandom and bring together friends (and lovers!) for life, or even temporarily, I don’t know what is.

Make sure you tell the people you love that you love them. Loudly and often. You never know when it might be too late.

He tweeted this when he was in the middle of shooting Thor 2. 

There had already been rumours that Thor 2 would contain a “major character death”, and this clued me in to the fact that this character was probably going to be Frigga, because this is one of the many big regrets I have about my mother. Turns out, I was right.

To this day I’m convinced that Tom tweeted this the day they filmed her death/funeral/Loki’s breakdown in his cell.

Deliver me from this, deliver me from loving it. Deliver me from forgetting everything else, and sacrificing all purpose, all resolve to it.

OMG HE DID mean this damn place *cries in the corner*

Yes, you are alive and that means you can die. And everything I see when I look at you is utterly insubstantial. It is a commingling of tiny movements and indefinable colors as if you haven’t a body at all, but are a collection of heat and light. You are light itself, and what am I now?

Lestat (via jardinsalvaje)

There is nothing wrong with loving the crap out of everything. Negative people find their walls. So never apologize for your enthusiasm. Never. Ever. Never.

“I can’t tell you what it was like, the burst of the horse under me, the chilling wind, and the high arch of the night sky. My body was melded to animal. I was flying over the snow, laughing aloud and now and then singing. I hit high notes I had never reached before, then plunged into a lustrous baritone. Sometimes I was simply crying out in something like joy. It had to be joy. But how could a monster feel joy?” – The Vampire Lestat.

I LOVE YOU thank you for congratulating my indulgent need of Making a Post a VC Post. Moar here:

#How to make a post a VC post

The poison. The poison for Lestat, the poison specifically chosen to kill Lestat, Lestat’s poison. That poison.
