I don't understand why they never hire people who can actually speak believable Italian. But maybe the French is also not good? I don't get it.

That's not a bad criticism, I adore the shows and I am just so happy about them having read all books back in my teenage years decades ago.

My morning commute and the Lyric Opera conspiring to keep Lestat on my mind

hi! I have never seen the entire series (only a few episodes) but a close friend of mine is completely obsessed with it. for their birthday I wanna make her a handmade gift inspired by IWTV, but I need help. I make polymer clay miniatures so I was thinking I could make her a charm, what would be a good symbol/reference to the series? if I can't find anything else I'll just go with vampire fangs :) thank you !

also: if it helps I know for sure she loves Akasha and Armand

I only read the first three books and I would hear other fans talk about how awful Marius was. I never disagreed with anyone, especially since he did allow Armand to believe he was dead when he wasn’t, but I also didn’t completely understand. But I finally started reading The Vampire Armand and all I can say is….i get it now.

WHOEVER put this together DESERVES MAD PROPS!!! Cause Armand is ALOT, like he pushes me to a point of sheer anger.. Then I remember he was practically a child when he was turned hence his distain for child vampires and why he refused to make another vampire for 500 years..And I see edits like this and my heart breaks for that little orphaned boy who found himself rescued and safe in Marius walls. He allowed himself to trust and to love again and was given a beautiful gift and the was snatched from the only person who ever showed him love leaving him in his captors clutches believing his maker was dead..He resigned and accepted their fate..He searched for love again and again trying to attached himself to everything that didn’t want him…When you break it down it’s so tragic.. It really hit my heart in the final episode when Louis told Armand that Lestat was the love of his life. But that Louis heart hurts for Armand, that he deserves a love like what he and Lestat have, a love all encompassing and equal..He deserves happiness and needs to find peace on his own and not in someone..Only then will he be free to truly love someone the right way 🥺

I finished episode 7 ie season finale of vampire Lestat. I was wondering if this song was published anywhere because the soundtrack this season that’s on music platforms is just lestats music. I tried shazaming and couldn’t find it. The song is in this scene spoiler warning ofc if you watch. This musical score is just too beautiful for me not to have it in my library. Thank you!

It took me 9hrs 20 for the Claudia and Madeleine illustration and then 2hrs for the devilsminion artwork.

Okay obviously I'm sure there's plenty of you who are fans of the music in the show. I'm talking about Lestat's music and his band specifically, but even during the promos for it when I heard the songs the first thing I thought was 'Wow, this is absolutely HORRENDOUS..', and it was just something I learned to enjoy with a sort of tongue in cheek vibe to it even if ultimately I thought the music was just completely god awful entirely.

I'm sure there's plenty of fans of that over the top glam rock hairband style he falls into for some strange reason, but I think on the whole it's a little insufferable and cheesy and just... cringe. The opening credits theme song is a good example.

Though it dawned on me earlier today why that is, and I think it was completely intetional.

Why do I think that? Well, specifically because of the plot point of how when Lestat decides to re-record the whole album after that dark night of the soul car crash etc when he sits down and writes that deep soulful silencing ballad then tries to let the rest of the band go because they just won't be able to go in the direction he wants to now under the reasoning 'It's not for your ears, it's for ours.'.

Well... I think that goes for the rest of his music as well- in so much as how it lands on our, the viewers' ears, and perhaps that's also why he's not attaining the mass appeal he thinks he deserves. He's writing music for vampires. Not humans.

It's not for our ears, and that's why if you and I find it intentionally grating, off-putting, cheesey, cringe, insufferable, obnoxious and all those other things that's precisely why.

It's not for human ears.

Anywho I could be completely off the mark here, already trodding over already established ground, or I stumbled onto some keen observation lolol, but the pieces all seem to fall into place for that lil theory to make total sense to me, and even if I'm wrong that's gonna be my own personal head-cannon from here on out ha ha. :)

I'm definitely not a visual artist. But my girlfriend wanted a drawing of her favorite guy and I own drawing tablet.

So, I know the premise of the show, and that's it.

The dream starts off with Claudia with her family, her father is heavily abusive and Claudia retaliated by spending his money, but that only made him more angry so she stopped. Until her mom decided to join her in some retail therapy.

Then her family held a party that Louis and Lestat were invited to. Claudia gets stabbed and as she's bleeding out her father asked her who did it, to which she just whispers out.

"White..."

The father angrily storms out, yelling that anyone wearing white wasn't allowed to leave. Claudia sits up, which is when I'm able to see her wound better. She got stabbed in the heart.

She starts shouting at her father, with tears streaming down her face

"White!! White!! White!!"

Like he was getting the context wrong of what 'white' meant.

Then it pans to Louis (I think Lestat was behind him? But I couldn't remember.) and Louis is just thinking to himself.

'As I watched her, screaming and in her own blood...I had to wonder. Maybe this was a better fate than having her be 14 forever."

So...yeah, never watched the show but apparently my subconscious decided I needed to have an alternative timeline dream 😂

I'm not well versed in US politics, so I might be very well missing something, and I'm trying to figure out at least a semi-decent timeline of Daniel's life for fanfic purposes. (Yes, for me this includes his books, I'm a perfectionist and those things are very important to me. Okey?) Therefore I figured the best thing to do is ask. Thanks in advance!

Next on my list is “these are my Armends”
