I like Lestat so much purely because of how much he reminds me of myself. I fancied myself as looking somewhat like him before even getting into IWTV, and I just keep finding more reflections of myself in his personality. We have incredibly similar philosophies about life, existence, morality and tradition, and even a lot of the same flaws and difficulties relating to others. The main difference is I’m not brave enough to handle being famous.

♫WE WILL WE WILL ROCK U♫

Yeah, same here! (except that I don’t look like him at all *cries*) We can go along with him on his journey and gather the reasons for our own philosophical choices and see the mistakes and why he made them, and ask ourselves what we would have done differently, or the same, in his position.

He does have flaws, for sure. Flaws that could spiral anyone into depression. But his lust for life overrides everything ❤

And I think part of why we all love him against our own better judgment is that even when he royally fracks up, he gets back up, dusts himself off, and careens into the next car.
