If Lestat had switched bodies with a woman and experienced a period it would have killed him

On the subject of how often Lestat mentions crying and weeping in The Vampire Lestat and Queen of the Damned, this exchange between Lestat and Louis in Tale of the Body Thief always cracks me up:
Lestat: "I'm going to weep if you don't stop."
Louis: "Weep. I'd like to see you weep. I've read a great deal about your weeping in the pages of your books but I've never seen you weep with my own eyes."
Lestat: "Ah, that makes you out to be a perfect liar. You described my weeping in your miserable memoir in a scene which we both know did not take place!"
It's a great lampshade on all his weeping, and it's a moment that exists because the books exist in-universe. I will always be absolutely feral for moments in the series that refer to the books.

I personally think Anne missed the chance to re-write the books but like, anotated versions by different characters. Kinda like, director's cut of the books.
Interview with the Vampire: what actually happened, by the vampire Lestat. Oh no wait this one is actually canon.
The Vampire Lestat revisited by the vampire Armand.
Queen of the Damned: No one thinks you're amazing, and this is all your fault also by Armand.
The Tale of the Body Thief: Just what the fuck were you thinking seriously, by Marius.

Being a vampire chronicles fan is so humbling anytime I feel the urge to critique a novel or the writing on a show at some point I remember I read Tale of the Body Thief and didn't hate it and then I sit down and shut up
