Lestat and Armand being fascinated by modern technology and drugstore products, Armand fixating on stuff like kitchen blenders, ovens, movies etc, and Lestat being spellbound at Walmart, gotta be some of my favorite stuff from the books. They’re too cute 😭

Hey guys! I ended up in the hospital this week which threw me off (it's why I've just been lurking). I'm MUCH better now. But, with that and my job interviews, I don't expect to be active (beyond occasional lurking) until closer to the July 4th holiday.

We'll see if I stick to that but, that's the plan.

I got a call back from a job application and I'm so excited!

Interview with the Vampire Manga Adaptation (Yoake no Vampire) by Udoh Shinohara + DL Link

DL LINK HERE

Happy new episode of IWTV AMC day! Today though, I want to share something I've teased earlier on my blog, which is the Japanese manga adaptation of the Interview with the Vampire gothic horror novel. See under the cut for more details!

It came out in 1994, a bit after the movie, but it only referenced the book itself. It consisted of a single volume made up of three chapters, so events are condensed and abridged, and it skips Part II in Eastern Europe. The first two chapters were scanlated into English by a group named Trine and distributed on the aarinfantasy forums in 2007, but the third chapter was kind of lost to time, especially after all the links to the raw Japanese scans went down years ago. However, I discovered that a now defunct Portuguese scanlation group did the whole thing (individual credits included in the .zip), and I was able to recover chapter three, use heavily cross-checked and edited MTL (PT-ENG), and deliver the final product to you all. See more notes about this process or where to read the PT version in the readme file included in the .zip! It's not 100% perfect and I would not call it true 'scanlation' obviously, so if anyone can do a better job I welcome them to! I hope more visibility on this manga makes the raws become available again so a true JPN-ENG translation can be done on the last chapter!

This manga obviously has major IWTV book spoilers, but it does NOT include anything from later books in the series and is honestly quite faithful overall. It even includes Lestat's father. I might actually call it slightly gayer than the book, since Louis and Armand become more obviously in love. I would recommend it to anyone who's watching the series and hasn't read the book yet, as well as to anyone who enjoys the books alone! The art style is very 90s, but it has some really beautiful visuals sometimes, especially with Claudia. I hope everyone enjoys reading it!

Happy Father's Day to Lestat de Lioncourt, the OG baby trapper, deadbeat dad, oedipus reincarnated, and the reason Dr. Fareed is probably working on creating vampire condoms to prevent spur of the moment turnings as we speak ♥

This scene is more canon than all the Loustat canon scenes combined.

Happy Father’s Day, dearest Brat Prince, tell us about your father?

“Ah, today is Father’s Day? What a charming American tradition. Such days mean little to a preternatural being such as myself. Though, perhaps I could indulge you if you are so curious, my dear anon~.

“Let's see. My father the Marquis d'Auvergne was regarded as a man of nobility by way of birth. Though, as you are likely aware from my books, his title was not accompanied by any means of wealth. I do not know for certain if that was always how he lived but, given his general distaste for most tasteful things, I would imagine his adolescence was spent with no more means than mine.“

“You must understand that my father was never known to be a loving man. In fact, I cannot say that I remember a single moment of affection between himself and my mother. Though, to be fair, I do not recall looking for it much, as I avoided his presence as often as I could within the walls of our estate. Our own relationship was equally strained, for he was a strict man and not a person who radiated any semblance of warmth.

"Perhaps that is why it was almost a blessing to our relationship that he took little interest in me or my ambitions. In a twisted way, his neglect was an absolute gift to me, as was his inevitable blindness. For both made his indifference toward me easier for me to accept and for him to maintain."

“I suppose I should thank him in that respect. After all, it was the homelife he provided and his flagrant disregard for me which led me to wish for something more out of my own existence. And, what a gift it was that he led me on the path to becoming the devilish fiend I am today!”

"Bonne fête des pères, papa~."

Marius praying and begging for centuries for a scrap of acknowledgement or affection from Akasha only to walk in on her vampire 69-ing baby vamp Lestat is the funniest thing that ever happened in the whole series

[thevampireforthesetimes]

I'm too lazy to make a separate promo for him right now, but

Like, reblog, or follow if you'd like to roleplay with a book based, HC based, Armand from The Vampire Chronicles. Has a verse for the AMC show where he's somehow magically transported to that universe.

[thevampireforthesetimes]

I'm rereading QOTD and I'm living for the Lestat/Marius/Akasha tension.

Specifically, Marius being equally pissed and likely grateful for Lestat both loving him enough (and likely Akasha too) that Akasha at least uses Lestat as a plausible excuse for not putting Marius in his place, while Marius patiently tries to put her in hers. ALSO, that Marius glare had to have made Lestat shit himself emotionally. That shit scared me.

Also, those Louis/Gabrielle looks at their loveable, blonde idiot that both want to likely hit and hug at the same fucking time.

Not to mention, Gabrielle straight eyeing Lestat and Akasha back and forth through the whole beginning of that meeting. 👀 It has me dying.

Also does this mom-o-phile have some damn nerve obsessing and having a blood orgy with another mother figure he's sexually attracted to, while leaving his OG independent milf with his bf?!?! Like she doesn't have other badass things to do! It's a tale as old as time itself.
