“That passivity in me has been the core of it all, the real evil. That weakness, that refusal to compromise a fractured and stupid morality, that awful pride! ... Well, I tell you I am no longer that passive, weak creature that has spun evil from evil till the web is vast and thick while I remain its stultified victim.”
and here we can see louis experiencing britney spears level of crashout

i wonder about this madeleine character

claudia is #girlboss, armand is #gatekeep & #mansplain, lestat is #gaslight & #manipulate, louis is #malewife, santiago is #manslaughter

i honestly think all book characters should be categorized like this now

"Human nature. I have no human nature. And no short story of a mother's corpse and hotel rooms where children learn monstrosity can give me one. I have none." #claudiaisagirlboss #vampirecore #humannatureisforsissies

what the fuck?? out of all the directions i thought this would go, for some reason i did not consider this one... currently not a fan of lestat :(

at this time, ive determined that louis and lestat are very divorced couple energy. very "i hate my ex husband" energy
i overall love vibes of queercoded divorcecoded vampires (which is all vampires. including edward. i do not make the rules), this is way easier to read then the past few "classics" ive read just in terms of language/understanding

“Now, I’m getting into the coffin,’ he finally said to me in his most disdainful tone, ‘and you will get in on top of me if you know what’s good for you.’ And I did. I lay face-down on him, utterly confused by my absence of dread and filled with a distaste for being so close to him, handsome and intriguing though he was.”
WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS. THERE IS NO HETEROSEXUAL EXPLANATION. DO YOU UNDERSTAND MY CONUNDRUM.

it is literally so gay?? like i thought it would be more subtle but it is soooo obviously gay??? like look at this
“Lestat whispered to me, his lips moving against my neck. I remember that the movement of his lips raised the hair all over my body, sent a shock of sensation through my body that was not unlike the pleasure of passion….”
is that not insanely homoerotic i can't be the only one thinking this right???
