#book reference
Was reading Interview with the Vampire and Louis was answering a question about a woman he had sorta loved named Babette. She wasn’t the greatest love he’d ever felt, but he says his greatest love was foreshadowed in Babette. I’ve seen the movie, so I only know what happens as far as the film is concerned, but I wondered if he meant Claudia the child vampire?
And then my brain went: wait, is Babette the child vampire in Skyrim an Interview with the Vampire reference? Both she and Claudia take guiltlessly to killing afaik. Is the Babette of Skyrim a combination of strong and sensible Babette Freniere and the cunning but childlike Claudia?
Will make a more rounded assessment when I finish the book. But ooh.
If you Google it, you do get a few results of other people wondering the same thing, but I like it when I think of questions independently of others’ influence.
Jin Ling sulked, “My uncles were also fifteen-or-so when they became famous.”
Wei WuXian commented in silence, That’s not the same! Back then, the QishanWen Sect was still on top and everyone had to watch out. If they didn’t fight and cultivate as much as possible, who knew if they’d be the next one to run out of luck? During the Sunshot Campaign, you’d be hauled to the battlefields no matter if you were fifteen or any other age. Now, since the situations is stable and the sects are at peace, of course the atmosphere isn’t as tense and people don’t cultivate like they’re crazy. There’s no need anymore.

This bit always gets to me. The peace that JL gets to grow up in, that all the juniors get to grow up in!!! And just as the world in WWX’s youth was difficult and dangerous because the Wen under WRH were in power, the juniors grow up in relative peace and stability because the Jin are in power, under JGY—it’s his influence and his policy that’s making this
headcanons for Jin, Nie, and Jiang communication methods please!!!
