Count Dracula? Okay. One. Dumbass.

For a human, experiencing it for the first time, it was… unsettling. And not for the physical toll on my body, which was significant, but for the feelings of intimacy it awoke within me.

"And I too find the tapes...lacking."

But I was drifting now, mentally and physically; feeling him a snug yet weightless thing against me; just the pure presence of Louis, Louis belonging to me, and with me. And no burden at all.

Funniest thing in the world that the man playing Lestat De Lioncourt is the ‘do not perceive me’ type of introvert

Somewhere in the world right now, this minute, is a young man who will one day play my beloved Lestat de Lioncourt in our TV series. I wonder what that young man is doing.

Is he reading a book tonight, or watching a film? Is he out dancing at a club? Is he studying for an exam, or perhaps acting in a stage play in Los Angeles or Chicago? Is he on the set of a film, waiting for his time on camera? Maybe he's driving on a narrow highway alone from London to Manchester; or through the traffic of Berlin or St.Petersburg or Brussels. He may have the car radio on, or be musing in silence. Perhaps he's playing the violin in an orchestra, or tap dancing on a Broadway stage.

Is his hair already long, to his shoulders? Is he a snappy dresser? I wonder if he is in love. Has he read any of the Vampire Chronicles?

I hope his parents are proud of him for his talent. I hope he is happy. What kind of wine does he like?

What did he have for dinner? Wherever he is, I'm thinking of him. I'm wishing him well. I'm wishing good things for him. Stay safe, young man. We're coming for you. We love you. We want you.

I wish she got to see her beloved Lestat come to life so beautifully through Sam Reid. To me, there is no Lestat but him.

baby boo, sugar plum, apple of my eye <33

“I think they need some time apart now. But I think that they’re definitely sticking nearby each other. Yeah. I guess it is a bit like that,” Reid said. “Yeah, I mean, part of the joy is that if you live forever, you want to have that relationship with the person who can burn your entire life to the ground. You want to have that person who can literally give you a fresh start every time and can make you feel such extreme feelings.”

“You kind of want to be living at the extremes. You are a monster and you kill to live, and you live forever.”

Anderson, once again, agreed. “Whether it’s, like, platonic for a bit or romantic forever, you know, their relationship is always kind of slightly indescribable and also very describable. It’s love and hate wrapped up in one.”

“So yeah, I’m sure, Lestat and Louis just are like, until one of them perishes, they’re destined to dance forever, I think.” [x]
