"His love is a small box he keeps you in. Don't stay in it."

"There was a light in his eyes. A light I've not seen for years."

"Her mind and spirit will age, but the world will treat her as she is now! And she will be miserable, and you will love her, and it will spiral beyond your reach!"

“My light. My Claudia. My redemption.”

–Louis de Pointe du Lac (Interview with the Vampire, ‘Is My Very Nature That of the Devil’)

“Claudia was my dark child. My love. Evil of my evil.” –Lestat de Lioncourt (The Vampire Lestat)

INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE: 1.04 - The Ruthless Pursuit of Blood With All A Child’s Demanding

[cupidsncheerios]

honestly i understand claudia so much bc i’d fucking hate to have lestat as my dad. like even if he was 1000% human and in therapy with a perfect marriage and the mood stabilizers he so desperately needs it’d STILL suck. imagine growing up as a teenage girl and ur dad is constantly serving cunt. like every day all the time you can’t even go to a fucking ikea without the phantom voices of a dozen twinks yelling “boots!!!” following him around like aggrieved ghosts i’d kill myself. eighth grade is bad enough but eighth grade knowing you’ll never serve more than your french fucking father? actual psychological torture

I cannot say even now that I regret Claudia, that I wish I had never seen her, nor held her, nor whispered secrets to her, nor heard her laughter echoing through the shadowy gaslighted rooms of that all too human town house[.] Claudia was my dark child, my love, evil of my evil. Claudia broke my heart.  And on a warm sultry night in the spring…she rose up to settle the score. She enticed me, she trapped me, and she plunged a knife over and over again into my drugged and poisoned body, until almost every drop of the vampiric blood gushed out of me before my wounds had the precious few seconds in which to heal.  I don’t blame her. It was the sort of thing I might have done myself. And those delirious moments will never be forgotten by me, never consigned to some unexplored compartment of the mind. It was her cunning and her will that laid me low as surely as the blade that slashed my throat and divided my heart. I will think on those moments every night for as long as I go on, and of the chasm that opened under me, the plunge into mortal death that was nearly mine. Claudia gave me that.
