I count the grains of sand on the beach and measure the sea; I understand the speech of the dumb and hear the voiceless. #iwtv #tvc #loustat #heatedrivalry #underthevolcano

I fell in love with Sam Neill (RIP) in "My Brilliant Career," a 1979 feminist classic from Australia (directed by the great Gillian Armstrong) that made Judy Davis a star. The story is being retold in an upcoming Netflix series with the lovely and talented Philippa Northeast. #samreid #iwtv #tvl

Khayman of the First Brood in Athens on seeing a Lestat music video: "Blue-eyed demon, yellow hair flung wild about him, with the powerful arms and chest of a young man. Jagged yet graceful his movements, lips seductive, voice full of carefully modulated pain." ~The Queen of the Damned #tvl #iwtv

A promo pic from the SDCC 2025 #TVL trailer. Rockstat is shown singing on stage in concert. He is shirtless, ecstatically bending backward, and his hair is flung wildly behind him."

Marius de Romanus physically described in #TVL: in the prime of his life (40) thick, long, white-blond hair square, luminous face golden brows & lashes iridescent cobalt blue eyes slightly hollowed cheeks long full mouth partial to wearing red velvet Oh, well. #iwtv #tvc #nitpick

A promo photo of Christopher Heyerdahl as the elegant, sophisticated, compassionate, wise, witty, and stunningly attractive Marius. He's shown here as an older, non-descript man with short, curly brown hair, gray-blue eyes, thin lips, and a long, wrinkled face. He's wearing 19th century working-class attire in shades of beige/brown. Certainly not at the Vincent Perez level (!), but why?

The Brat Prince having fun with the Spell Gift. #tvl #iwtv #tvc "If someone does look too closely, then there is a little telepathic razzle-dazzle: Perfectly normal, what you see. And a flash of the old smile, fang teeth easily concealed, and the mortal goes his way." ~The Queen of the Damned

A screencap from TVL episode 3. During his interview with Daniel, Lestat is shown on the Interrotron as he transforms from weeping to laughing. Daniel later discovers to his chagrin that the entire scene was projected into his mind and wasn't recorded.

He reached out and put his arm around my neck and kissed me. We almost upset the table we were so blissfully drunk. "My lord, the wolfkiller," he whispered. ~The Vampire Lestat I’d drunk myself sick with my lover Nicolas and first confronted my mortality and gone out of my head. ~Platroa 😢 #iwtv

A sketch of the handsome young lovers Lestat de Lioncourt and Nicolas de Lenfent becoming infatuated with each other while drunkenly conversing in their village inn before they escaped together to Paris.

In #TVL when Lestat brought Gabrielle into the Blood: "Her heart and soul split open. There was no age to her, no single moment. My knowledge dimmed and flickered and there was no mother anymore, no petty need and petty terror; she was simply who she was. She was Gabrielle." ~The Vampire Lestat

Gorgeous fanart of Lestat and Gabrielle after her transformation. Source: https://twitter.com/paparaxote/status/1708235259366576166
