sorry my brain only wants to draw the gremlin 100+ times
Since I spent like an hour on friday going through my copy of iwtv (1977 first Ballantine Books Edition) so here’s where every episode title is said in the book.
possible spoilers for the show; definitely spoilers for the nearly 50 year old book.
S1E1 “In throes of increasing wonder” page 13, Louis only every directly says the words “increasing wonder” (“From then on I experienced only increasing wonder”) about his first meeting with Lestat
S1E2 “…after the phantoms of your former self” page 81-82, said by Lestat (“You are in love with your mortal nature! You chase after the phantoms of your former self!”) when they’re having one of their many arguments about Louis’ feelings about killing, right before they turn Claudia
S1E3 “Is my very nature that of a devil?” page 73, after Louis and Lestat are driven off of Louis’ plantation & are rejected by a mortal woman Louis likes & thought would protect them
S1E4 “…the ruthless pursuit of blood with all a child’s demanding” page 98, said by Louis about Claudia (in narration) (“She was simply unlike Lestat and me to such an extent I couldn’t comprehend her; for little child she was, but also fierce killer now capable of the ruthless pursuit of blood with all a child’s demanding)
S1E5 "a vile hunger for your hammering heart’ page 116, Louis to Claudia, telling her the story of how she was turned ("I felt for you again, a vile unsupportable hunger for your hammering heart, this cheek, this skin.”) While S2E7 gives us more context on how Claudia was turned, in the book it was very different– Louis just straight up saw her and couldn’t resist nearly killing her, & a few days later Lestat decides to turn her to save their marriage
S1E6 “Like angels put in Hell by God” page 148– Louis says this to a priest in confessional after Lestat ‘dies’. (“I am not mortal, father, but immortal and damned, like angels put in hell by God.”)
S1E7 “The thing lay still” page 138, Louis’ description of Lestat’s dead (ish) body
S2E1 “What can the damned really say to the damned?” page 168, Louis contemplating what he might find in Eastern Europe as he and Claudia sail to Europe.
S2E2 “Do you know what it means to be loved by death?” page 224, said by Santiago in basically the exact same context, although the play is different.
S2E3 “No pain” page 225, said by Armand, who is onstage & is the one who kills the woman in the first performance we see at Theatre des Vampires
S2E4 “I want you more than anything in the world” page 284, said by Armand to Louis when they’re on a little date in this abandoned tower Armand likes to hang out in, notably after Louis turns Madeline without approaching Armand about it; I believe he also repeats it twice same as the show
S2E5 “Don’t be afraid. just start the tape” page 3; said by Louis to Daniel basically the same way it happens in the show.
S2E6 “Like the light by which God made the world before He made light” page 142, something Louis says while contemplating his existence directly after Lestat 'dies’. (“I had now lived in two centuries, seen the illusions of one utterly shattered by the other, been eternally young and eternally ancient, possessing no illusions, living moment to moment in a way that made me picture a silver clock ticking in a void: the painted face, the delicately carved hands looked upon by no one, looking out at no one, illuminated by a light which was not a light, like the light by which God made the world before he Had made light.”) (jesus, anne. i thought i wrote horribly long sentences)
S2E7 “I could not prevent it” page 307, said by Armand, also repeated twice like he does in the show, although this is said as he’s saving Louis rather than in the present day interview
S2E8 “And that’s the end of it. There’s nothing else” page 341; idk if this is the actual episode title, but it’s what wikipedia is telling me and it makes sense enough. The last thing Louis tells to Daniel before ending the story
under the cut– other lines i remember from the show that i underlined while reading the book; please add on if you have any more or correct anything i got wrong
i love the beginning of s1e5 where daniel is reading about claudiaโs kills and says โim trying to imagine something more fucked upโ while two vampires are having sex in front of him . based off of this screenshot i took
24 for Francis and John ?
โ figmentisms
24. How do these two interact with each other in public versus in private?
okay so there’s a lot of layers to this the first being that they are both men (technically) (socially) (basically) (sometimes) so in public they’re relatively chill besties but in private they have some sort of situationship going on . are they a couple? well if you asked them you’d get two different answers and that’s if you managed to get an honest answer out of either of them but whatever is going on there it’s not heterosexual enough to be out in public view.
the second thing is that they’re both haters of public vulnerability so their dynamic around others tends to be well. grumpy one and the sunshine one, if you were to put it in vulgar terms. wormwood hides his emotions by being standoffish and stoic and such whereas francis hides his by being incredibly sociable and amiable all the time. i think they also tend to come off as your basic pessimist vs optimist.
with people he’s close to john is much more quick to trust & be free with his feelings and frances is like an angry street cat who needs to be coaxed into accepting love & their outlooks somewhat reflect this. ie frances is interested in chasing social standing and money to secure a comfortable life even if it means living a lie whereas john does not want to do that and would like to leave all this high society shit behind & is only staying because he’s hoping he can stick around long enough to convince frances its all bullshit
20 for henrietta and augustus!!!
โ m4lfine
I think henrietta & augustus’ best memories together are from when they were like, 5-13, playing piano together. Henrietta got music lessons as a young girl because having an artistic talent is considered a good activity for a lady of her stature. I think she considers herself to be better at other things now like drawing and painting because while she loves augustus a lot she is the type of person who hates being Second Best at something & stopped practicing music as she got older because of that
augustus was never given proper music lessons because it’s considered a girls thing but he sat in and did a lot of practice on his own so he and henrietta used to play a lot of duets together or play and sing. i think that augustus has a really great ear for pitch when it comes to singing but henrietta tends to sound better at songs she’s practiced because she’s better at the other aspects of singing (breath, enunciation etc). nowadays they don’t play together much but they both miss when they were younger and felt Inseparable & before their very different positions in life drew them apart and lessened their inherent understanding of the other
