one thing that's really funny about interview with the vampire becoming pretty popular again is that I keep seeing people who've either only seen adaptations or only read the first book calling the gay part 'subtext'...girl in the next book lestat talks pretty plainly about how he was in love with louis. like romantically. he also had a boyfriend called nicolas in that book and they kiss on the lips and everything. in the third book the interviewer guy (whose name is daniel) gets with armand and they have weird vampire gay sex and everything. anne rice literally said that part of the lore for her books is that the vampirification process also makes you bisexual. I'm not fucking kidding. it was a lot of things but subtextual was not one of them

#it's so funny to me like I think she said it pretty plainly???#the only thing subtextual about iwtv was the 1994 movie where they tried to not make it obvious that it was gay #and even so it's pretty fuckin hard to make the story not be about brad pitt and tom cruise of all people being gay vampire married #the anne rice quote where she says that was so funny as well btw she's literally like #'vampires are inherently gay. this is because lord byron and john william polidori (who wrote 'the vampyre') definitely fucked'#say what you will about her but it has to be said. she was so right for that #sapphire's random thoughts #interview with the vampire #the vampire chronicles
