#there’s a bigass epidemic of a virulent strain of flu or something like that in the book

Btw a question that has been haunting me for DAYS:

If Tale of the Body Thief is adapted in modern (2022 or onward) time, do you think Lestat will just like. Get COVID?

#there’s a bigass epidemic of a virulent strain of flu or something like that in the book #for some reason the setup in season 1 of vamps not wearing masks because they can’t get COVID would make the scenario so funny to me #raglan james chooses an unvaxxed body because he’s Like That and then it never even occurs to Lestat that he should wear a mask #he’s not anti-mask or anything #this problem has just literally never arisen before #why has this been occupying my mind #why is this so funny to me #it just cracks me up that in the book MULTIPLE people are like #sir #sir you look like you may be actually dying #don’t go home #don’t go to the pharmacy #don’t even go to the doctor #proceed directly to the emergency room #and lestat is just like ‘no i think this is just what a cold feels like???’ #and then he passes out and almost dies .7 seconds later
