louis, put me in my coffin.

“anne rice didn’t write compelling female characters.” ok. maybe to you. Those are my girls though

currently liking the character so much that all I can do is pace around my darkened house saying "they make me die"

Both Armand and Lestat openly say they fell in love and entered a relationship with Louis solely because he had that sadness in his eyes you only see in eastern european gay porn but then they DARE to complain and feel scorned when he's depressed and sad all time like "damn when will this bitch have a good day" um never that's why you wanted him in the first place guys these days (19th century) want a brooding tortured prettyboy but get upset when all he does is stand in the rain and gaze at the world in despair c'mon now what did you expect...you made your bed now lie in it

I think it's Gabrielle that disappoints me the most. Anne Rice started writing the vampire chronicles in a context where women could not own their own bank accounts, when marital rape was not criminalised, and in my country at a time when women could not legally drink in public. To take a character who is so clearly informed by the author's frustrations with gender in a world that does not recognise her as a full and autonomous person and turn her into a one-note villainous sexpot is not only boring it's incredibly insulting

being around your mother too much will have you saying shit like why does nothing make me happy anymore
