lestats and gabrielles respective qualms are so funny like she has her weird thing about religion and he is not scared of anything yet has this sense of human morality (louisssssssssss!!!!!!) she seems to have discarded the moment she turned… fascinating

i can’t find my fucking copy anywhere… ive been searching for days 💀

lestat wanting to fuck his mom the moment she puts on mens clothes…….. freud couldn’t get through all the layers of fucked up at play here

the intimacy of the turning is way too much for mother and child tbh like it’s too… it’s too……….. it’s for the sickos and the sickos only

so what, he will turn gabrielle but not nicki??? LESTAT WHEN I FIND YOU

just the fact that he says that hunting evil, he realised, was idiocy… that what he truly wanted was Nicki… “strong wine id had, from chipped and broken vessels, and now the priest was standing before me […] with the golden chalice in his hands, and the wine inside it was the Blood of the Lamb.”

LIKE ??? nicki as Christ, as salvations, as truth… Nicki, the only thing lestat truly desires now… badly…

“Luchina said ‘Get Nicki,’ and I almost cried No.”

“And then there was only Nicolas and I didn’t care.”

“Maybe I felt a profound joy, too, that I could still love[…]”

“I wanted Nicki.”

like im losing my mind HELP

no cause lestat climbs from the window onto the roof so nicki won’t see him but nicki FEELS him there and comes to the window waiting and then, he picks up his new violin that lestat has gifted him and plays and lestat puts his hands over his ears and watches the stars and still he hears the music full of despair, and beauty and im literally dying

the chapter of lestat meeting nicolas for the first time since he was turned has me weeping face down on the floor by the way, im NOOOOTTTTT fineeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

“And here is the was nearly spring. And the nights were getting warmer, and the House of Thesbians was putting on a new drama with new acrobats between the acts. And the trees were in bloom again, and every waking moment I thought of Nicki.”
