INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE 02.03 | "No Pain"

[likehandlingroses]

louis de pointe du lac | "in throes of increasing wonder" "I'm a drunk, Lord. I'm a liar. I am a thief, Lord. I profit off the miseries of other men, and I do it easy. Drugs, liquor, women. I lure them in and grab what they got, Lord. I take daughters with no homes and I put 'em out on the street, Lord, and I lie to myself, saying I'm giving them a roof and food and dollar bills in they pocket, but I look in the mirror, I know what I am... the big man in the big house, stuffing cotton in my ears so I can't hear their cries. And Lord, I dragged my family into this mess with me. I shame my father. I failed my brother. I lost my mother and sister, and rather than fix it like a man should, Lord, I run like a coward. I run to the bottle. I run to the grift. I run to bad beds. I laid down with a man. I laid down with the Devil. And he has roots in me, all his spindly roots in me, and I can't think nothin' anymore but his voice and his words!"

saying “i want him” about the character but not in a romantic or sexual way . i just Require him i need to Obtain him

the Mayfair Witches show has committed many crimes, but naming the character Moira because she’s not “really” Anne Rice’s Mona is…so absurd I can’t even process it

[likehandlingroses]

If Mona Mayfair has no fans, I am no longer in this world

Hi, I’ve seen a fic called Maybe It’s You recommended in a few places, but it’s inaccessible on AO3 as “part of a challenge.” You’re listed in one post as a contributor- is this fic private temporarily, or have yall taken it down permanently for whatever reason? Sorry if you’re not one of the authors, or there’s some sensitive reason it’s been removed. Thanks!

Hi! That fic has been privated because I *personally* am not interested in participating in fan engagement with HP at this time. Most of my fics have just been totally removed, that one I privated because several fan artists made (beautiful!) artwork for the story, and while I believe they uploaded that work to the archive/elsewhere themselves on their own account(s), I did not want to be responsible for just deleting it in case they ever wanted it or wondered what had gone on there.

I believe it will be privated permanently, unfortunately!

some book armand descriptions that tickled me

[likehandlingroses]

it is, however, very funny that Mary decides to deal with the weight of her disenfranchisement and the betrayal of her family by announcing at dinner that she is just like Andromeda

[likehandlingroses]

It is actually devastating that Mary really believes that her family—especially her mother and grandmother—will fight for her (and win) re what should be hers by right.

and then one-by-one they all have to tell her no actually! Marry the man taking it away from you, or marry someone else and get out. And make sure you’re nice to Matthew, because god forbid you don’t get married at all and should have to rely on his charity for your entire existence!

The purpose of life is to get really into stories that drive you so crazy you sometimes feel the need to throw up from how much you love them

Your lens is not entirely clean. And you see here in the corner? And on this night you only had eight frames of film on you. A haunting set of clouds moved in minutes after your last shot. If it lacks singularity, there is nothing wrong per se with the frame, but… perhaps, going forward, when the moon is your favored source of light… a little patience?
