#lestat is so excited to have his own fireplace in paris

Lestat/Nicki: "The room was dark and he had passed out on the floor near the fireplace, which had burned down to smoldering ashes."

The room was dark and he had passed out on the floor near the fireplace, which had burned down to smoldering ashes.

Hair spun out like the halo of Botticelli's Madonna, or a lion's mane crowning him as something regal even as a little bit of drool hit the floor. The image was ludicrous as all things related to Lestat tended to become, his runaway lord flat out on the floor in his best velvet coat despite the fact Lestat had already used his new earnings to buy a coat of his own. A more maddening nor exhilerating creature you could never meet.

It was tempting to leave him there, let him awake shivering and contorting in the increasingly cold air and find his way to their bed on his own. Nicki chose not to, and not because this entire business of dreams coming true or success or whatever else had begun to infect everyone at Renaud's but because he didn't want to let his coat potentially go up in flames and his lover with it.

It was a very good coat.

(It was an intoxicating lover.)

As soon as Nicolas pulled at him, Lestat gave the most pathetic whimper and said it was time for sleep. At least, that was what those slurred words sounded like. They'd long since learned each others drunken voices but Nicki had to stat sober enough for a lesson when he could squeeze it in, morning, noon or night.

"Why do you think I'm trying to get you to bed?" Nicki grumbled, pulling him over to the sheeted palette. They used the wolf cloak more than the sheets, a reminder of when they had nothing else in that little inn or when they first arrived, but it was still a little warm for it. That meant he had to undress him and Lestat had turned into the most ridiculous floppy ragdoll. "Are you going to help me?"

Lestat responded by laying a wet, sloppy kiss on his mouth and it took a moment for Nicki's mind to figure out why. "Not that sort of into bed," Nicolas said. "You're barely conscious."

"I'd enjoy it anyway," Lestat insisted, his voice still obfuscated by sleep. "You can just come in me and I can enjoy that."

"In your sleep?" Nicki managed to wrestle the coat and shoes off and deemed it good enough. "Yes, if anyone would manage to enjoy sex while asleep, I imagine it would be you."

His eyes were barely open, blinking as if fighting to hang on to consciousness but Nicolas took pity upon it. He wasn't quite that much of an asshole. "Go to sleep," he said, putting the cloak around them both and curling him close enough that he could smell the embers from the fire, the staleness of the alcohol on his breath and the leftover lavender in his hair. "I promise to debauch you thoroughly in the morning."

IWTV Season 2 Trailer - Wig? SNATCHED! (Pt2)

Back at it again with a frame-by-frame breakdown of the brand new OFFICIAL trailer for IWTV S2! (This will again be in 2 parts cuz Tumblr doesn't allow 30+ images per post.)

I wonder if this contraption was made by the same person who made Nicki's music box for Lestat?

Speak of the devil.....

Hearteyes Armand.

Lelio Rising!

Who is he talking to? In all fairness this line could be for Nicki, Armand, or ofc Louis, as all three of them lived in darkness & self-hate, while Lestat insisted on living in the bright light of hope and joie de vivre.

Burn, bish.

Clever cut to hallucination!Lestat haunting the narrative--existing in the world Louis concocts in his own head/heart--and ultimately the IWTV book.

You're SHOWING me Paris!Coven Master Armand, but I'm THINKING about NOLA!Coven Master Lestat. They know what they're doing! WHO has the power of life & death in LOUIS' undead life?

Does Claudia KNOW these laws? Does she KNOW about their take on "Killing Your Own Kind"? Does LOUIS know? Is this a TRAP from the very beginning?! What exactly is Santiago reading out of that book in his left hand?

Get your hand off her boobs ISTG Santiago.

Potential Loumand breakup scene? Potential Merrick scene? What is AMC gonna do once Louis knows everything again?

Because they cut to Madeleine Imma assume he remembers how Madeleine BEGAN....and how she ENDED--hence: The Trial hype!

THE TRIAL, good lord, we're in the trenches now! She's crying & both of them are all bloodied up! Omg.

Then they cut to Loumand in that scene where Louis walks away from Armand in disgust(?) Next time think twice about picking ANOTHER ONE, over ME!

Lou & Claudia through war-torn Europe.

*squints* Armand & Santiago?

The thirst is real, OML. XD

We finally see Loustat fighting in their bedroom upstairs. They're moving AWAY from the hidden coffin room door, towards the fireplace--so we'll HOPEFULLY see what went down IN the coffin room itself that left that huge dent on the top of Louis' coffin.

And ofc they cut from the Loustat fight to the WAR again, Louis & Claudia running from the bombed up building that we've seen before.

Fanged angry Lestat losing a fight against Armand; you love to see it.

LOOK AT THAT REVENANT!! OMG!

We get another shot of Madeleine (acting?) on stage at the Theatre.

Why does he look so scared/concerned? Is this the Trial? Or something else?

Well, OBVIOUSLY he should know from the tapes at least SOME of what happened--he was "being disrespectful," demanding that Louis turn him into a vampire; Louis said NO; Daniel insulted him; Louis bit him. But WTF happened with DEVIL'S MINION?!

That's NICKI (with his hands), so this is before Lestat leaves him w/ Armand & the Theatre. The question is: is that the same trenchcoat Lestat wore when he carried that Jesus Piece into Armand's lair?

OMFG Madeleine's a JEW!?! O_O That's a whole Swastika spraypainted on her window! No wonder Rolin said they were doing something different with her to give her a reason to join Louis' coven/family!

VERY clever cut from Madeleine smashing the swastika on her window, to Daniel amidst the broken bookshelves--is this confirmation that Daniel's Jewish too?

I am SO confused about this woman--I mentioned last time that we see her IN the Theatre. But I had assumed she was an Eastern European revenant. WHO is this chick!?

Interesting transition, cuz I still have no idea who this lady is either.

PLEASE do, Louis; the suspense is KILLING me! This looks so dang good! I'm gonna be a MESS on May 12th, omg I'm so excited.
