Louis - Interview with the Vampire (Anne Rice)

“No need to tell him what to observe, or what to remember. He always knew such things. Years ago, when I’d done the dark magic on him, I hadn’t had to tell him anything; he had savored the smallest aspects of it all on his own. And later he’d said I’d failed to guide him. Didn’t he know how unnecessary that had always been?” - Lestat, Queen of the Damned (Anne Rice)

Louis expecting a How To Vampire manual.

Philosophy

When I came to Paris, at first it felt like freedom. Finally my world could grow. Then I realized how small that made me. How little I could achieve and how much was already going wrong, how wrong I was. I turned to music not out of passion, but as my form of protest. (Not that I’ve ever done anything without passion.)

I was there with the coffee house philosophers. I argued drunkenly through the night and sobered up in the day, still arguing. Disillusion might have always been an integral part of my world view, joined by the desire to see or feel anything real. Perhaps that was part of the fascinating horror that took hold of me when I was turned, but that wasn’t until later.

For now my faith was dead, with just enough fear remaining to make me ask questions I berated myself for. Sometimes I am asked about the revolution. Which revolution, I could ask in turn? Any thinking mind can never stop revolting.

No, I wasn’t in favour of the monarchy. Shocking, that. If anything, I’ve always been an anarchist.

I don’t care about beauty. There is art and there is  the feeling of something real. Chase that.

Do any of you have thoughts? Talk to me.

If one becomes content with the way their government is run, then that individual is settling for less than they should. There are so many holes and issues and corruption. As imperfect creatures we cannot satisfy everyone and that being said, you can either conform, accept, let them control you, or abandon the whole charade all together, because if no one is showing their government or hierarchy in some way that they are wrong , then they will continue exactly what their doing while everyone follows blindly and ignorantly. If you reach out to enough people whether through speech or lyric and you’re making too much sense, causing to much of a stir, they don't like that. They try  so hard to hold everyone trapped inside their net and keep order over the people who didn't even ask for it. All I can conclude is that revolutions must come, again and again, because though the common people are a majority, we all seemed to continue to get fucked over one way or another, and if we don't react with force and our instilled anger then they will shrug us off like a childish nuisance.

@vampires-in-south-park requested Lestat and Louis having a good old argument (about how it pains Lestat to see him eat dogs, maybe) and then the bottom sketches have to do with Lestat’s weird animal obsessions during Tale of the Body Thief. There is a line about him wanting to kiss screaming little monkeys so there you go.  I’ll draw is other obsession in that book later. What’s that you say? Old people, of course. Send requests, I’m drawing everyone already in my spare time so gimme things a bit more like what you see above, oho.

You’re art brings me joy!

Lestat is seriously up in Louis’ grill right now haha

How to tell if you’re in an Anne Rice novel

Since it’s hypothetical… Mortal intercourse, yeah. Would that make it harder to answer?

Yes. I have absolutely no attraction to Armand (I assume you meant Armand–Jesse would be bearable) physically, and would never give him the pleasure of making love to him in Louis’ body. 

What are you trying to do to me? There’s absolutely no way in hell to answer this question. 

I think that the soul you are sleeping with would be the dilemma more than the appeal of it, because even after they switch back, even if you were to have sex with Louis in Armand’s body, it would be a kind of lose lose for Armand because the physicality of it happened but it “didn’t happen.”  You know? He could tease you with the factuality of it, but Louis will hold the passionate memories, so in the end who’s really lost out? I would personally think it would be more comfortable even for both you and Louis with said option. Even if you had to close your eyes for it...heh

Or another option that might help ease you could be to inquire Louis about it maybe. What he may prefer.

it’s okay Louis.

Their old music is great! Late stuff is meh, honestly.

But you guys should check them out :)

solid plan Louis

Not even Lestat wants to see Louis cry

Probably sung at some point by someone (via gabrielledelioncovrt)

Lestat can’t you see-ee you’re just not the girl for mee-ee

What we interview in the Shadows Lestat/Deacon surely knows how to comfort.

There is my second short comic for the Vampire Chronicles © Anne Rice. Starring Nicolas De Lenfent & Armand. And his ‘beautiful’ playing. Sometimes. To torture someone special. But seriously, I really can imagine Nicki would play terrible on purpose to torture the leader. *giggle*

“Be my muse, friends” The offer is still open! ;)

I’m sure I’m not the only one who prefers book Armand over movie Armand
