funniest things in interview with the vampire:

"he ain't white he french!"

lestat showing up to louis' family dinner in the gayest outfit he could wear in 1910, pretending to eat, and hypnotizing paul when he really was trying to make a good impression

"what's wrong with that man?" @ lestat

louis with the "no whites allowed" sign despite lestat being inside the building

"are you schizophrenic louis?" "...no"

INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE | “Best of 2024” lists

[softloustat]

10 absolutely unhinged things Daniel has done

pretended to be a straight drug addict journalist to get gay sex (and drugs)

flew across the globe in the middle of a pandemic with an autoimmune disease to meet with a vampire who almost killed him last time they did this

proposed oral sex to calm down the man who was torturing him

started undressing in the middle of an interview

insinuated his interviewee's partner of 77 years is a rebound (and was right about it)

shouted at his interviewee that he could be his husband and his dead daughter at the same time, but better

had a rap just ready to go for wild reveals and actually got to use it

was immediately into the idea of having gay sex in a coffin

risked his life to break up a vampire couple of 77 years; did not exactly survive but can now claim a 200% divorce rate

is a 514 year old vampire's first born

Armand's version

Louis' version

Lestat's version

ff7 art dump! ive grown very fond of these guys

I feel like Armand would go crazy for making PowerPoints of his latest obsessions. I bet he’s even made one ranking his favorite household appliances.

Interview with the Vampire | 2.04 | I Want You More Than Anything in the World

[island-in-the-shadows]

When you really think about it, Daniel Molloy being a vampire is objectively terrifying. This is a guy who, as a mortal:

- Followed a stranger to a second location in peak serial killer era California.

- Was down to fuck in a coffin.

- Was down for fangs in his neck.

- Consistently interviewed dangerous or powerful people and was antagonistic to them.

- Literally never stopped when on the hunt for a story to the point it destroyed his personal life.

- Got on a plane in the middle of a pandemic with a degenerative disease because the guy he barely remembers following to some place on Divisadero, who he knows is an immortal killing machine, is offering Daniel his story and this also means Daniel could get some clarity on his fucked up memory.

- Has a big fucking mouth. He will just say fucking anything regardless of it being inappropriate.

- Has a fantastic bullshit radar.

- Beat a professional gaslighter at 3D chess.

...and then said powerful 514yo gaslighter gives this man litres of his, essentially, untouched blood and makes him his fledgling? Like...INSANE.

Daniel is, no doubt, EXTREMELY powerful and with a personality type that will probably make him a good vampire. Absolutely terrifying...and hot. God I hope he's still "sun challenged."

Corollary to the important Dracula movies post, here's a more general recommended and/or representative vampire movie curriculum; there's some overlap between the two lists, of course.

This list does include my personal favorite vampire movies and sometimes it's skewed a little to my taste rather than to what's most important in the genre, but I also think it's 25 movies that would make a pretty interesting education in vampire film.

The Vampire Lovers (dir. Roy Ward Baker, 1970)

Valerie and Her Week of Wonders (dir. Jaromil Jires, 1970)

Daughters of Darkness (dir. Harry Kumel, 1971)

The Velvet Vampire (dir. Stephanie Rothman, 1971)

Anne only let the vampires fuck via blood drinking so we should over compensate by giving them extra ways to fuck. Vulcan mind-meld telepathy sex. Standard sex. Blood drinking sex. Hallucination sex where you overlay your dead ex-husband's face onto a random man. Missionary

Vampire: The Masquerade - Coteries of New York - Post-embrace Hunger

[steviebunny]

I'm so tired of watching some of that interview with the vampire discourse. They are flawed characters for a reason they literally have eternity. Obviously they're going to be immensely flawed. You can both love lestat for his good moments, his affection, his ability to see beauty everywhere, and have empathy for his childhood , what Magnus did to him all while acknowledging that he was a toxic partner to Louis and guardian to Claudia. You can feel empathy for Louis, and acknowledge his rage and quiet resentment as a flaw. You can love Claudia and criticize that she murdered her parental figure. You can feel for Armand and want to give that poor boy a hug after the 500 years of suffering he's had at the hand of everyone who was supposed to care for him while also being upset he's a manipulative gaslighting bastard.

The only two least flawed characters internal struggles we even get a look at are Daniel and Madeline. Who are both remarkably human for the majority of the show.

Not to mention for a majority of the centuries each of these vampires have been alive. Therapy has not existed! For most of these characters, the peak of their own self-reflection is Claudia's journaling or finding themselves through art, be that music, directing, or photography.

We all know people in the year of our Lord 2024 who don't go to therapy because they think it's useless or just for the "crazies" If you thought your toxic gay vampire franchise would be beyond that you're delusional.

Giles and Jenny's first Valentines day together, with a few hiccups and help from the gang

[ken-doll-roy]

For Interview with the Vampire S3 promo, I need to see Sam Reid do all the usual promo stuff but this time dressed as The Vampire Lestat and completely In Character.

The Vampire Lestat on Hot Ones getting more and more pissed off with every in-depth question, sitting in front of a plate of Hot Wings but absolutely refusing to do anything but lick them.

The Vampire Lestat on Chicken Shop Date but he flirts shamelessly with Amelia the whole time and spends most of the interview staring at her neck. She's fine with it and matches his energy perfectly (multiple clips go viral).

The Vampire Lestat doing a BuzzFeed puppy interview but all the puppies are Mastiffs and he refuses to answer any of the questions and just cries the whole way through. At the end of the day BuzzFeed are missing a puppy bc Lestat has taken him home.
