I started Memnoch the Devil yesterday for the first time and I’m not very far in, but here are some Lestat gems so far:
Lestat pausing mid-narrative to talk about how good he looked in his blue Brooks Brothers suit and how perfectly tailored it was, not at all like those god-awful Italian suits in the 90s, and then he stops and goes, “But it’s not about the clothes. To hell with the clothes! I don’t care about clothes. Also I had on a silk scarf and wingtip shoes and violet sunglasses and I can’t be completely sure, but I’m 100% certain that every single person who passed me in that hotel lobby wanted to climb me like a tree. And my hair looked so good, you would not believe.”
David telling Lestat that Armand is intensely jealous and spies on him way more often than Lestat realizes, but then Lestat goes, “Oh, no, I definitely see Armand. I know he’s there. I just ignore him.”
Lestat: I hate Armand. David: You don’t hate Armand. Lestat: UM PRETTY SURE I DO
Lestat: David was all young and hot now but tbh I still wish I would have boinked him when he was an old man in a sweater vest and corduroy pants.
David sitting unobtrusively in the restaurant looking like a regular guy while Lestat sprawls out on the chair and says something to the effect of, “I deliberately dressed like an 80s rock icon because I wanted attention so badly. I wanted to be crushed to death with attention.”
Lestat passing some homeless dude under a bridge in Queens or wherever and tossing him some money, and the homeless guy is like, “Hey, thanks, man, thanks, brother,” and Lestat goes, “Amen.”
Lestat killing the hot cocaine dealer and then getting really mad that the hot cocaine dealer keeps trying to talk to him while Lestat’s draining him dry, like, “I’M BUSY, STOP RUNNING YOUR MOUTH WHILE I’M KILLING YOU, GOD, WERE YOU RAISED IN A BARN?”
Lestat: I am not afraid of any other vampire. No other vampire scares me at all. Lestat:………… Lestat: Maharet keeps pulling out her own eyes and it gives me anxiety diarrhea.
David: Lestat, what’s wrong? You seem legitimately terrified of something. Lestat: I’m not. I’m not terrified of anything. Not even Maharet and her disposable eyeballs. David: I know you–something is really scaring you. Lestat: No it isn’t, David, I’m fine, also, can I sleep with you tonight? David: Of course– Lestat: Can you leave the night light on?
last night i was briefly talking about furbies and agreed that they should be interpreted as miniature, flightless griffins
‘furbies’ are opportunist desert insectivores that may also eat some plants or carrion. resembling the build of a chinchilla with soft downy feathers and an otherworldly rate of colour mutation. they live in large family burrows and are extremely socially intelligent and vocal, in captivity they will mimic human speech. because of this, their small size, and many morphs, domestic furbies are popular pets but must be kept in at least pairs
pledge at least 1$/mo to be counted as a follower. for 5$/mo you get free coffee and bagels at the local place of worship. for 15$/mo they’ll answer at least one (1) prayer per month
Okay I hate to intrude but didn’t this happen and isn’t it why Martin Luther wrote his 95 theses
