people saying "write what you want to see in the world!" and that's always a good sentiment but this post isn't really about "oh no there's no content for my ship", more the feeling of "i looked up something that i thought was so obvious that surely plenty of more seasoned ao3 perverts would have thought of it already, but apparently i'm the weird one"

Nothing really prompted this but I can’t help but feel let down narratively by the idea of reading Paul’s death and Lestat’s turning as anything other than random tragedies. I know there are theories about the visions being real or Lestat having a hand in killing Paul, but isn’t it so much more profound and more human if Paul was simply a sick teenage boy in a time where there was no help for him? No happy ending in the same way there couldn’t have been for Claudia?

Doesn’t it make the tragedy cut deeper if there were no vampire compulsions and no real angels and Louis is destroyed simply by the incorrect belief that this is something he could have prevented? Isn’t the irony more impactful if the thing Louis blames himself most for is the one thing he has no actual hand in causing?

And when it comes to Lestat’s turning, isn’t the sentiment the same? Lestat wasn’t special, he wasn’t the Chosen One, he was just the last in a string of dozens or hundreds like him. He killed the wolves because he had no choice, not because he was a hero. He was a kid who had to fight or die. When it came to Magnus, he wasn’t any more significant than a victim chosen by a human serial killer. His uniqueness was fabricated in the mind of a psychopath because once again, he chose to fight instead of die.

If Lestat is the chosen one, it gives meaning to his suffering, when in reality what drives him to his madness is the LACK of meaning. If it had all meant something cosmically, maybe he could have coped with it as someone who cares so much about being good and being special. It didn’t mean anything though and he has to live with that.

Senseless tragedy is the core of the horror that permeates VC and that’s what makes it so haunting. Even within the context of monsters, innate humanity is what defines the type of vampire Anne Rice created. What’s more human than being subject to the mindless cruelty of the universe?

"you can't ship those characters they tried to kill each other!" sounds like someone can't appreciate the inherent eroticism of violence 🙄
