The most underrated moment of all time in interview with the vampire (the book) is when Louis meets Lestat and he’s all seductive, making all these promises about eternal life and escaping his human burdens and transcending suffering, living his ultimate hedonistic fantasy forever, and then once the transformation is complete and Louis and Lestat are living together Louis realizes that Lestat isn’t the angelic other worldly being come to sweep him off his feet that he presented himself as, but is actually just a Guy. Fucking hilarious. Suddenly Lestat is 10 years older than Louis at most, his father is still alive, and he’s responsible for caring for him in his old age. He’s bitter and immature and his dad is dying and handling him is his priority first but he hates it, he’s just got average mortal problems and concerns. And Louis’s like wtf ? I’ve been scammed. So good! Lestat is just a guy actually he’s just like Louis, he doesn’t know anything. Vampirism doesn’t make anything more special rlly and ur family and responsibilities don’t go away once u drink the magic blood. I love that, it’s hilarious as it is so interesting for their dynamic. I annoys me sm that the show made Lestat so much more older then Louis bcus a good chunk of the foundation of their dynamic is just gone. Ugh
i love when fic writers who have clearly never tried any kind of alcohol in their lives try to write someone drinking bc they’re always like
“he ordered a tall glass of hard liquor. after three large glasses he was feeling tipsy” like babygirl i can’t be sure but i think u just sent this man to the hospital
Are you a vegetarian or vegan how did that come about
Oh yeah I’m largely a vegetarian, though I do make a few exceptions for chicken or fish if someone else is cooking and I don’t want to make it difficult or to try local cuisine on trips. Never red meat or pork though.
It kind of happened over time for me, I just got less and less comfortable with the meat industry and industrial animal farming in general as a teenager. It seems cruel and unnecessary since I’m in a position where I have the means to avoid it. At the end of the day I just really love animals and I don’t want to contribute to their death and abuse. Once I moved out for college and was buying and cooking my own food, I pretty much just stopped eating meat naturally.
I’m not vegan, but I do buy local honey, local dairy products as much as possible or from companies that are known to treat their animals well, and I only get eggs from my grandpa’s chickens. So overall I feel pretty good about that part. It seems better to me to get ethical animal products than to buy mediocre vegan replacements for them that end up exploiting humans instead.
I have more ideas than I know what to do with tbh but some may end up combined anyway since I’m not a one-shot girlie most of the time. Once I finish my band fic I’m considering a TotBT fix-it/rewrite? TBD I guess, we’ll see what happens
