I love your hair!
Thank u ❤ I got it cut short a few months ago, and I learned how to style it pretty quickly, but trust me, it looks better in real life!
Hello Lestat, I have been a vampire for around as long as you maybe longer, I was born in French inhabited America but returned to France to live up until the end of the revolution. What was/ is your opinion of the atrocities that took place?
//ooc; This has been sitting in my inbox for a month, I’m not a history buff and not into historical politics, and I did ask around, but it’s tough to answer. What would he remember about that? Vampires supposedly have perfect memories. What are his opinions? VC does not get very political.

“By day I almost forgot the vision of the inn, and the darkness. Unless, of course, … I happened upon a public execution in the place de Grave.
And I was always happening upon a public execution in the place de Grave.
I’d wander out of the square shuddering, almost moaning. I could become obsessed with it if not distracted.” – The Vampire Lestat (p.1, ch.7)
He wasn’t a vampire at that point, but clearly those public executions had an impact on him bc he brings it up later as a vampire. Even though he causes death often, death as spectacle is different. Still, he doesn’t suggest that they shouldn’t have done it.
The French Revolution took his brothers, their wives, and all his nieces and nephews, and as much as he despised his brothers, he still took care of his father until the end of his life in New Orleans, and he still had a dream that he turned his whole family into vampires, so what that means to you as a reader is up for interpretation.
Anyone can comment. What do you think any of the vampires’ opinion is/was of the atrocities that took place during the French Revolution?

Out of all the vampires in the Vampire Chronicles which one do you think has the most daddy issues? Random question I know but the thought just popped into my head. Maybe it’s the combination of loving your blog and loving that song called Daddy Issues by The Neighbourhood.
Thanks for the compliment on the blog, much appreciated ❤
I like the song, I’d never heard it before.
Who has the most “daddy issues,” that’s up for debate, and how you define daddy issues, and bc someone with daddy issues can show it in different ways.
VC has a ton of terrible parents, either they’re neglectful, or abusive, or manipulative, etc. A lot of bad fathers, and that’s not even counting bad makers. A bad or absent father can affect someone’s future relationships with their significant others.
Daddy issues implies that a person had a father who:
- doted on them too much, maybe they’re spoiled and have an enormous ego now; or
- ignored them or just wasn’t there at all, so the person cries out for attention too much,
- and everything in between and so much more.
So I’ll open this up, anyone can reblog/comment about the daddy issues! Or maker issues.

there are so many important elements to this. the slow-mo. the sliding on snow in trainers?? the string classical music. the knowing glance towards the camera. the slight raise of the mug in salutation. the book. the red dressing gown. the snowflakes falling past. the hair? the blink as they turn away. who are they
Preferably played by Ralph Fiennes
beautiful fop, how have you cultivated the art of the courtier and mastered sprezzatura?
♛I’m an avid consumer of art. When you take joy in all the beauty around you, man-made and natural alike, it can’t help but plant a seed inside you and shine out from within. There are no rules to appreciation *winks*

Lestat, I’ve always wondered: Do different humans taste different? Like, if you happened upon some spilled blood and tasted it, could you tell who it was from provided you’d had blood from them in the past? What about other species? Can you tell if a person is a witch or a werewolf etc, by their blood?
//ooc; I don’t know enough about the science with blood, but in my opinion, yes, humans taste different to vampires based at least partially on that person’s diet, and I headcanon that they do things to affect the flavor when they feel like going to the effort, like getting their victims drunk or aroused or terrified or whatever.
[X Someone has a sweet tooth fang.]
If placed before him, yes, I think Lestat would have to have previously tasted that blood if he’s trying to identify it. And it would have to be somewhat fresh, I would think dead or dried blood loses a lot of its flavor (and it’s pretty unappealing to vampires anyway).
With mortals, Ricean vampires are supposed to have perfect memories, and I do think Lestat has his favorite types of mortals and/or ways to flavor them with specific drinks/foods/ or provoking them into specific emotions, and he has favorite mortals he visits repeatedly for Little Drinks (unbeknownst to them, probably).
Werewolves might have something of the wolf taste in them and that would be noticeable to a vampire as odd for a human. So yes, I think Lestat could tell if someone was a werewolf.
With witches, I think they would fall under the “if Lestat has tasted their blood before, he can identify them,” but I don’t think there is anything specific to witch blood that would let him know it’s a witch, since witches are mortals who practice a religion. I don’t know enough about witches to know if it changes their blood physically, but if it does, vampires would probably notice.
if someone writes you a letter or makes you a mixtape or composes a poem or song about you or creates literally anything for you then you had better cherish the absolute shit out of that person because they care about you a real lot
