Queen of the Damned Devils Minion chapter comic

Disclaimer!! this does NOT belong to me i simply found the QotD comic and made a pdf of the complete Devils minion chapter

lmk if the link doesnt work 😭

went through the IWTV q&a thread on reddit for season 1 where Jacob and Sam answered questions and here are some of my favs 😋

seems like they’re both excited for Gabrielle next season

Never beating the lestat possesion allegations

Jacob Anderson the n1 Louis x therapy shipper 😭

Part 2?

What I love most about the finale is how it shows Louis finally on his own and content. Claudia calls him out for it multiple times, “who are you without me” who is Louis alone, because he never gets a chance to find out between his relationships to his family then lestat then Claudia then armand. Louis is always having to perform a role for those he loves and he has no idea who he is alone. The whole “yes maitre” roleplay with armand divorces him even further from who he is, forcing him back into the role of Louis the pimp.

But instead of going back to lestat Louis decides to be on his own, to fully be himself, and the redecorated apartment full of colour and pictures of Claudia and his brother is a beautiful expression of this.

Louis when Lestat annoys him and he whips out a copy of 'Interview with the Vampire':

whenever i see iwtv fans get upset about people kinning characters or similar stuff, i remember how anne rice talked about lestat. like... watch some interviews with her, im literally begging you. i watched one for a class project, and she talks about how he basically wrote himself and how he spoke to her and told her how his story went, how basically no thought went into lestat's scenes like it did with other characters, he basically guided her. not to MENTION, i was today years old when i found out about her in-character facebook asks.

basically, chill. she was a lil crazy too

here's the blown up version of a tiny panel from a comic i made last year. no more context shall be given. happy pride month.

I know nothing of God or the Devil. I have never seen a vision nor learned a secret that would damn or save my soul.

Armand, The Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice

I'm not a big fan of Brad Pitt, but I found this on my Facebook...and damn he looks good!

Brad Pitt's fang test shots for Interview with the Vampire (1994), which was directed by Neil Jordan.

He looks sexier here than when he was Louis de Pointe du Lac!

So fans of Anne Rice have probably heard of the new series being made on Interview with a Vampire. I did not have high hopes for this from the start for many reasons. I'd seen so many adaptations and remakes absolutely screwed that at this point it never excites me to hear one is being made. The more I heard about the changes that were being made the more disappointed I was.

I saw nothing wrong with changing Louis's race as it seemed to fit the time period and story. Then I heard about the changes made to Claudia's character and I was pissed. The whole point of Claudia is that she is forever trapped in a child's body while her mind ages. Changing her age to late teens completely erases everything about the character and that entire storyline. It's a pointless change and it takes away the originality of the story.

This last change just made me sad. It recently came out that this series confirms Louis and Lestat's relationship and will heavily rely on sex between them. Now I was actually very happy to hear about the relationship confirmation (I've always shipped them so this was awesome news) but what disappoints me is the sex part. In Anne Rice's series the vampires cannot have sex. Now maybe they changed this because they thought it would draw more people in or maybe it was for representation. Either way it upsets me because this was the perfect opportunity for some asexual representation. It was right there! They wouldn't have had to change anything! To have an asexual relationship represented in something so well known would have been huge! Instead they actively chose to change that part of the lore and its sad. Asexuality is already barely represented and when it is its often poorly represented so to see this choice made when we were so close to something awesome is just...disheartening.

Fictional man obsession of this month:

✨️Lestat de Lioncourt✨️

(1994 movie version, currently reading the vampire chronicles as well)

This works both ways

[Gasping mockingly]

What does it means to be loved by Death?

No pain

(Anne Rice)

Sorry, this quote just lives rent free in my mind since I first read it and it's just perfect for Agatha, Nicky and Rio😢

Death's beloveds

"The sustained heat of an intense fire"

...and it's just Lestat's gaze.

A diferença era que agora Louis estava esperando Lestat. Tivera sonhos perturbadores; temia por Lestat, e estava cheio de antigos e desconhecidos anseios.

A Rainha dos Condenados, Anne Rice.

There are Sooo many people that don't like or even hate Lestat because they've only seen the show

It's nearly impossible to dislike Lestat if you read the books, not only because he's literally the main character, but also because you get to see the complexity of his character

He's not a villain, and it irks me to no end that the show has portrayed him as such up to this point

I'm praying that season 3 will change some minds

This is my sincere request to anyone and everyone in the IWTV TV show fandom
