The lighting and the framing from this scene was BEGGING to be a painting

What dyke is Armand hiring to pick out his outfits every morning. She's doing a great job.

This world owes Sam Reid an everlasting standing ovation.

Here's my mock cover for The Vampire Armand, based on Assad Zaman's portrayal on AMC 🥰 First time doing lettering, it was quite the challenge!

Hope you like it 💕

My brother sent me a photo of Louis being featured in someone's PowerPoint in his uni class

Bonus Update: I've sent her so many DM memes today I think she wants to disown me

It's been like 15 years since my mum read TVC and because she's not chronically online (like me) she has no recollection of Devil's Minion so whenever I send her a meme or make a comment about Armand fucking that old man she looks at me like I've grown a second head.

We're doing a re-read together now though so when we get to QOTD she will see the light I swear

No, you were sat on the floor, under a drum in the dark at 8am, thinking about how Nicolas finally requests to be burned to death in a Sabbat that is not merely redolent of The Witches’ Place, but is in fact a Direct Reenactment of The Witches’ Place. 

And not only that… but he says if the vampires refuse to set that up, he’ll burn himself along with the theatre itself…. And Louis will later burn down that very theatre.

Thinking on Lestat reflecting on fate lying in wait; Nicolas’ Father saying he’d break his hands, then Armand chopping off the hands; Gabrielle on the brink of death - made immortal only to leave Lestat.

Nicolas in the streets, screaming about The Horrors to mortals… just as mortal Lestat accosted everyone he saw as a mortal during his own existential crisis…

Nicolas wanting to make new vampires in wild abandon… it doesn’t seem so much a madness to me… unless sanity is mere self preservation….?

Lestat sinking; dreaming he’d made his whole family vampires (who hated him, and yet… Dead.)

Lestat going into The Earth, continuing his conversation with Nicolas… wanting to join him. Only the thought that perhaps Nicolas feels no thing at all now being worse than this pain.

What if Nicolas had been able to go into The Earth. Could he have been saved?

Lestat taking the blame for Nicki on himself. And aside from Nicolas’ innate nature, it is mainly his doing. And yet all Lestat did, he did from love.

Nicolas leaving a stack of plays for the theatre. The tortured artist, even as a dying vampire.

Too much to survive. Don’t we all know this feeling about existence. Oh, Anne Rice knew it. People talk on IWTV being the book where Anne processes the loss of her daughter. But there’s so much death & existential crisis & suicidal feeling in TVL… I simply wonder whether Anne wash just in a place where she had processed this enough to art curate it through her characters by this book?

Nicolas, ending in his own Witches’ Place. As he might have a century before. Or today. Always his end.

(The pause in the middle is only as I heard a human! The HORROR!)

apparently the internet thinks I have mold on my walls. I can assure you, mine is not the only room that looks like that.

Interview with The vampire TV series

I have a theory... It's a weird theory mind you so bear with me. In season 2 of Interview with The vampire Raglan James is introduced. Those of us who read the books know Raglan to be The Body Thief. He tricks Lestat into switching bodies with him and than runs off with Lestat's powerful and immortal body so Lestat is forced to rely on his mortal friend, and head of the Talamasca, David Talbot, to help him get his body back. There's an odd line in season 2 of Interview with The vampire where Raglan James says to Daniel Molloy "If I had your body I'd be running The Talamasca by now." What? Why? Do the Talamasca find seventy-one-year-old Eric Bogosian hot? What does Daniel's body have to do with anything?

This awkward line was probably just to throw the hint that Raglan is the body thief but it's still an odd way to do it. Daniel, in this version of the story, seems to have an understanding of Lestat that Louis and Armand lack. This version of Daniel is intuitive and now a powerful psychic (thanks to vampirism). David Talbot was a mind reader. I'm wondering if Daniel is going to be merged with the character of David Talbot the way Ciprien Grieve is a combo of Arron Lightner and Michael Curry in The Mayfair Witches show.

I suspect if the show makes it to the Tale of the Body thief story (as they seem to want to do for season 4 or 5) that Daniel Molloy might be the one who helps Lestat get his body back instead of David Talbot. This also adds to the reasoning of having Daniel Molloy be older in this version (David Talbot was eighty) instead of just having him get the interview for first and only time. I also wonder if "Real Rashid" is the young body Lestat gets tempted with and who David Talbot's (possibly Daniel's) soul ends up in by the end of the story. This would also lead to him being re-vampirized by Lestat and could mess with the Armand / Daniel ship of the books. By the way, I'm pretty sure Louis and Armand were going to make Daniel into their fledging that night before Daniel exposed Armand's dark, dirty, little secret. That's what the special dinner was going to be, and part of why Armand turned him anyway. It wasn't spite, it was love.

It happened again

I've been reading so much Devil's Minion fanfic recently—and the actual DM chapter is so batshit looney tunes—that I don't even remember what's canon and what's fanon anymore

“I got upset about 20 years ago because I thought it would block me,’ she says. ‘However, it’s been very easy to avoid reading any, so live and let live. If I were a young writer, I’d want to own my own ideas. But maybe fan fiction is a transitional phase: whatever gets you there, gets you there.“
