this blog has moved to @martyrkill

[martyrkill-arc]

might make my multi into a regular blog and not a side blog because i feel like im in tumblr jail and just want to ramble about louis, claudia, and my oc’s.

[martyrkill-arc]

louis and lestat's relationship is something that is ... very complex. i will also be diving into this....how it differs to his other relationships. especially his relationship with armand.

and their greatest elephant in the room - claudia.

[martyrkill-arc]

claudia means so much to me. book and show.

ÉLODIE MOREAU ❪ @martyrkill ❫ : never too late to start over.

she reminds him of parisian summers, of dusted sugar and butter-rich pastry, of citrus undertones wrapped around gentle laughter. a time when, for a moment at least, things had seemed easier, more stable somehow. the horrors of home exchanged for learning how to balance sauces and prepare proteins, constant chaos replaced with the technique of wielding a wüsthof blade and plating dishes to resemble art. ❪ and through it all : her eyes bright against fluorescent backdrop of kitchen lights, kisses that tasted just like fresh strawberries ❫. thinks perhaps he should have known it would come with an expiration date, that everything he touched eventually shattered. lifetimes passed since then, ribs hollowed out only to be filled with grief and anger and doubt.

yet despite it all, she was here, presenting possibilities ; a chance to clear his head away from the endless turmoil. ❪ remembers a similar offer once, a few days on the east coast that had spilled into months on his cousin's couch ❫. years spent running away only to find himself back where he started. a frown twisting expression, fingers tapping restlessly against half-empty coffee cup. “ yeah. heard, chef. ” a struggle then to force words past his throat, to give voice to the barbed tangle of his thoughts. “ just — i tried it before, y'know? starting over. in new york, and then trying to flip this place. ” and now he was left standing amidst ruins, fragments that he couldn't quite fit together. gaze finally lifting, pale where it finds hers. “ i think maybe i need to stop running away from shit. . . ”

[martyrkill-arc]

it had been perfect symmetry. how her mother had both loved and lost an american boy just as she was soon to learn when the realities of culinary school completion would come and perfectly curated moments under the parisian sun would come to their end. his hand had fit so perfectly into hers, nights spent teaching carving techniques before losing interest in subject at hand and finding further interest in each other. the innocence of something that came out of something so complicated. attending school shortly after her mothers death. how she would attempt to bury herself in her studies and instead finding herself captivated with the complex and beautiful mind that was élodie's very own american boy -- carmen berzatto. though like anything good in her life, it so rarely stayed.

there had been calls and texts over the years, letters too. even if exchanges grew less and less. élodie had thrown herself into opening her café in honour of her mother, specializing in some old family recipes. there had been a few men and women whom had entered her life over the years but none of them remained constant. something was missing. it's what had brought her to america. to check up on him. it's how she was sitting across from him now, a warm cup of coffee between her hands. " mm, " she nods, listening. the coffee was painfully american, lacking in flavour profiles that she were used to back home but she still took a sip with a small sigh, listening to him while he spoke, her eyes watching his face, the way his lips moved while speaking and soon his eyes meeting hers.

" ce que nous fuyons finira par nous rattraper, carmen. " [ what we run from will find us ] she leans back in her seat, her eyes still fixed on his before lifting cup up and taking a drink; face scrunched as she places the cup back down to the table. " what is it that you think you need, hm? are you happy here? " she straightens up again, placing her hand on the table in front of them. " tu m'as manqué... " [ i missed you... ]

things to touch on: - louis's grief around paul - louis's psychological state - louis on claudia's death - louis's complex feelings on lestat. - claudia's resentment

Interview with the vampire 1.01

[lesliesmemes]

frankenstein (2025) sentence starters.

‘ captain! can we talk? ’

‘ we cannot keep up this pace without consequence. ’

‘ we signed up for a mission & we will see it to completion. ’

‘ then where does all this blood come from? ’

‘ what is that thing? ’

‘ what does it want? ’

‘ bring him to me! ’

‘ i killed it. ’

‘ how many of your men did it kill? ’

‘ it will come back & kill many more. ’

‘ whether you believe me or not, it will come back. for me. ’

‘ you must promise that you will put me out on the ice & let it take me. ’

‘ what manner of creature is that? ’

‘ what manner of devil made him? ’

‘ i had determined that the memory of my evils should die with me. ’

‘ some of what i will tell you is fact. ’

‘ it was my father who gave me that name. ’

‘ stand by my side & do not leave me. ’

‘ their voices filled me with fear. ’

‘ the man despised us both. ’

‘ ivory does not bleed, [name]. flesh does. ’

‘ she who was life... was now death. ’

‘ all of you, leave! ’

‘ he was the breeze, i was the storm cloud. ’

‘ an idea took shape in my mind. ’

‘ you let her die, did you not? ’

‘ i did everything in my power to save her. you must know that. ’

‘ no one can conquer death. ’

‘ everything you know, i will know. & more. ’

‘ i was born anew that night. ’

‘ i would have command over the forces of life & death. ’

‘ the vision was so clear. clearer than anything i’d seen in my waking hours or dreams. ’

‘ my downfall was swift. ’

‘ no sooner do we rise, we fall. ’

‘ we are not gods, are we? ’

‘ if we are to behave as immodestly as gods, we must, at the very least, deliver miracles. ’

‘ teach them defiance rather than obedience. ’

‘ how exactly do you propose to teach what is impossible? ’

‘ this is a hearing, doctor! not a carnival act! ’

‘ this is the future! this is possible! ’

‘ why not study it? ’

‘ this is unholy! ’

‘ god gives life, & god takes it, [name]! ’

‘ perhaps god is inept! ’

‘ do not let these old fools extinguish your voice! ’

‘ he’s making a name for himself. ’

‘ i’m afraid we both share that name, whether we like it or not. ’

‘ you were done for before you uttered a word. ’

‘ can you contain your fire, prometheus? or are you going to burn your hands before delivering it? ’

‘ you ended your demonstration out of pride. ’

‘ i work alone. ’

‘ why not just carry on without calling attention to yourself in such a manner? ’

‘ you certainly expressed them loudly enough. ’

‘ ideas are not worthwhile by themselves, i don’t believe. ’

‘ that is what happens when ideas are pursued by fools. ’

‘ you think me a fool, hm? ’

‘ how often a man believes he’s met an angel or a devil, only to find it is all an illusion. ’

‘ the game of chess we play only against ourselves. ’

‘ i could feel destiny calling. ’

‘ i take it, then, that we have an understanding? ’

‘ what would such a delicate, pious creature have to confess to? ’

‘ he tries to control & manipulate everything & everyone around him. ’

‘ he delights in playing the victim. ’

‘ have you had supper? ’

‘ my interest in science leans towards the smallest things. ’

‘ i’ve always searched for something more pure, marvelous. ’

‘ she can count on us to guard her. ’

‘ there is a bond between us. can you feel it? ’

‘ believing something does not make it true. ’

‘ choice is the seat of the soul. it is the one gift god granted us. ’

‘ nothing could stop me now. nothing. ’

‘ i gave you everything you wanted! ’

‘ you lied to me. you lied. ’

‘ the achievement felt unnatural. ’

‘ perhaps there is a finer point in me telling you my story. ’

‘ you have to listen to me. you have to listen. ’

‘ you are afraid of me? ’

‘ why would you be afraid of me? ’

‘ i’m not going to hurt you. ’

‘ are you running a fever? ’

‘ you wounded him like that. ’

‘ a leaf? for me? ’

‘ you should not go near it. ’

‘ in those eyes i saw pain, & what is pain, if not evidence of intelligence? ’

‘ what about what you have denied me? ’

‘ your heart? of all the human anatomy, that is the organ furthest from your understanding. ’

‘ only monsters play god. ’

‘ i failed. i made a mistake. ’

‘ keep her in the dark. for her own safety. ’

‘ i have the most terrible feeling... ’

‘ he’s going to kill him. ’

‘ make me save you. ’

‘ in seeking life, i created death. ’

‘ my maker told his tale. now, i will tell you mine. ’

‘ i called your name & understood i was alone. ’

‘ it was no ghost. ’

‘ it was flesh & bone. ’

‘ i longed to be part of this family. ’

‘ i became their invisible guardian. ’

‘ they too extended a small kindness towards me. ’

‘ for a moment, a brief, brief moment, the world & i were at peace. ’

‘ the hunter did not hate the wolf. the wolf did not hate the sheep. ’

‘ violence felt inevitable between them. ’

‘ perhaps, i thought, this was the way of the world. it would hunt & kill you just for being who you are. ’

‘ you do what you must & so will i. ’

‘ with a single step, i entered a different world. one i had only seen from afar. ’

‘ i find it difficult being a good host. ’

‘ are you not from these parts? ’

‘ there is something in your voice which persuades me of your goodwill & kindness. ’

‘ i want to know who i am. ’

‘ i cannot forget what i cannot remember. ’

‘ i know what you are. a good man. & you are my friend. ’

‘ i felt lonelier than ever. ’

‘ envy rose within me & decided to demand a single grace from you. ’

‘ i would demand a companion. ’

‘ all we have is each other. ’

‘ no more lies. ’

‘ come out of the shadows if you are here. ’

‘ i have found sanity at such a cost, & you here are madness calling me back. ’

‘ i cannot die. & i cannot live alone. ’

‘ in you i have created something truly horrible. ’

‘ i am obscene to you, but to myself i simply am. ’

‘ the miracle is not that i should speak, but that you would ever listen! ’

‘ if you are not to award me love, then i will indulge in rage. ’

‘ move away from it! ’

‘ it attacked her! ’

‘ you are the monster. ’

‘ take me with you... ’

‘ i fear you, [name]. i always have. ’

‘ my place was never in this world. ’

‘ i sought & longed for something i could not quite name. ’

‘ to be lost & to be found, that is the lifespan of love. ’

‘ she is gone, & i long to follow. ’

‘ you gave me life unwanted. ’

‘ you thought me a monster. now i return the favor. ’

‘ i will make you bleed. ’

‘ i will make you humble. ’

‘ you may be my creator, but from this day forward, i will be your master. ’

‘ you put your faith in this. ’

‘ now, run. ’

‘ i will bleed. ache. suffer. ’

‘ it will never end. ’

‘ i am sorry. ’

‘ regret consumes me. ’

‘ what hope i had, what rage... it is all nothing. ’

‘ the tide that brought me here now comes to take you away. ’

‘ forgive me. my son. ’

‘ forgive yourself into existence. ’

‘ while you are alive, what recourse do you have but to live? ’

‘ i forgive you. ’

‘ rest now, father. ’

‘ perhaps now, we can both be human. ’

[ peck ] a quick, light kiss on the partner's lips or cheek from @burnedown for élodie from this meme : x

it was easy for her to get lost in a train of thought or even in moments like this, sitting crosslegged on the bed beside carmen, a mess of notebooks and recipe books scattered about. her mothers own notebook of family recipes sat nestled at her side, covered from page to page in barely legible french - the only thing that she had left of her now. élodie had risked a lot, utilizing the funds she'd received from her mothers estate to settle herself into a one bedroom flat in paris to further her love of cooking and baking while taking culinary arts. it was there that she had met him. the american boy with the pretty dark curls.

she'd been sitting there beside him, flipping through pages and speaking outloud " la julienne, ce n'est pas qu'une simple salade, vous savez, c'est une technique de déco--- " the words interrupted by the sudden presence of a quick, light kiss to her lips. élodie paused, blinking before soft shade of pink coloured her cheeks, she looked at him, switching to english. words caked with french accent, " what was that for? " she asked, trying to stifle a smile.
