In my own little fic-writing world, I'm dabbling in exactly these two bits! When faced with post-kidnapping Lestat and when Lestat goes to Gobi, what would this NEW Louis do? He wouldn't just read books I tell ya! #iwtvfic #loustatfic #qotd #ttotbt

An image from The Tale of the Body Thief graphic novel (Sicilian Dragon Publishing, 2000). David Talbot is speaking to Lestat, explaining his feelings after his (brutal) transformation. The dialogue is taken from the novel by Anne Rice. An excerpt from that scene: "You’ve given me the gift, but you spared me the capitulation. You’ve brought me over with all your skill and all your strength, but you didn’t require of me the moral defeat. You took the decision from me, and gave me what I could not help but want. ... I knew with every breath I took and with every new color or shape I saw before me that I wanted what you’d given me—the new vision and life, which none of us can really describe! Oh, I couldn’t admit it. I had to curse you, fight you for a little while. But that’s all it was in the end—a little while."

David's truth. (And Louis's in S2E8!) #iwtv #ttotbt #davidtalbot #lestat #gift

Sometimes a paragraph that Anne wrote struck me so much, I wrote a whole (short) fic about it. #iwtvfanfic #iwtv #TtotBT #Lestat

Continuing with the reading of TVC, today I start with TTOTBT, for a change I couldn't find the book in Colombia, but there's nothing that can be found on the internet... I must admit that I really like the covers of the Latin American versions ✨❤️

A screencap from S2E3 showing Raglan James (Justin Kirk) speaking to Daniel in a sushi bar. Plus an image of a letter sent to Lestat by Raglan James, setting up a meeting between the two of them in Jackson Square for the following night so they can discuss a body swap. In the letter, James--a notorious liar and thief--tells Lestat not to listen to his "fool friend from the Talamasca" (David Talbot). Letter source: Anne Rice's The Tale of the Body Thief, a graphic novel, 178 pages, Paperback, Published December 31, 1999 by Sicilian Dragon Publishing, ISBN 9780970398109, ASIN 0970398107, English.

Oh, Lestat...you sweet summer child. #iwtv #ttotbt #tvc #annerice #raglanjames

An excerpt from The Tale of the Body Thief by Anne Rice: "Of course it was his beauty which drew me to him, in my first nights here in Louisiana, when it was a savage, lawless colony, and he was a reckless, drunken fool, gambling and picking fights in taverns, and doing what he could to bring about his own death. Well, he got what he thought he wanted, more or less." Plus a screencap from S1E1. In this scene, Lestat and Louis are engaged in quiet conversation as they stroll toward 1132 Rue Royale. Lestat is smiling as he observes a somewhat tipsy Louis, who's holding a flask in one hand and his sword cane in the other.

His beauty, of course. 💖 #iwtv #loustat #TVC #TTOTBT

rutger hauer mention! #ttotbt #thevampirechronicles

I think vampires should be able to be intimate with each other and their victims because of their near constant replenishing of blood in their system.
