A custom Lestat doll head made by RedLorna [X] for a ball jointed doll customer, (who must have the body, bc there aren’t any pics of it that I can find). One of the best custom Lestat doll faces I’ve seen.

RedLorna:

“Photoshoot Yorick. Doll belongs fox-a .
Thus. Minimi Tom Cruise as Lestat from “Interview with the Vampire.”
My third mejk for minimization. The most difficult and most interesting to me.”

Anne is so cute and sweet.

YES WE WANT ACTION FIGURES PLZ *grabby hands*

She wants “mass produced and readily available action figures …that might pass for Lestat, so that anyone could have one for a few bucks” !!! Anne, do you know how much Barbies cost these days? More than “a few bucks” but still, I like where she’s going with this.

There was a post that went around about a month ago re: VC action figures, here are some of the responses on it:

[^from an i09 article]

@gothiccharmschool added:

I WANT A MOPING LOUIS FIGURE!

@cloudsinvenice added:

I WANT MOPING LOUIS ACTION FIGURE, THAT STILL COUNTS AS ACTION and he comes with a few dead rat accessories… and a few tattered books. Also:

  • Claudia w/ little gold scissors, mini-doll, and dagger-stabby action
  • Lestat w/ violet shades, multiple outfits sold separately
  • Santiago w/ scythe

@vampchronfic added:

  • Maharet and sets of different colored eyes.

@octoberreads added:

  • And a Lestat with a pull string that says “still whining 

@audacityinblack added:

  • A Daniel figure though…
  • Would come with tiny tape recorder, notebook, magically “emptying” bottles, and real clinging-to-Armand action.

@annabellioncourt added:

  • I mean, come on, not just the Hot Toys figures or the standard five inch figures, but the funko pops, and all those other novelty vinyl figures.

@phantomseptember added:

  • Imagine how many wardrobe extensions they could sell for a Lestat action figure!

@redversaillesrose added:

  • Nicki w/ violin. Hands sold separately. 

I don’t know if you are the one to ask but do you know if there are any ff of Lestat, Louis (and possibly the rest) reading ff about themselves? Because it would bee too meta and I love meta. Who should I ask if not you?

Ahhh… that is a tough one! They definitely like the fanart of themselves.

[^X Digging up an oldie from the archive which I have tidied up a little for ya and I would just like to mention that the above was screencapped from the ACTUAL TV screen so there is interlacing and whatever I don’t care it adds to the charm, oui/oui? but HEY it motivated me to improve my graphic skills for y’all and I DID]

The only writer that immediately comes to mind is our very own fandom treasure @gairid, who has a Through the 4th Wall, Darkly series which does something in the vein (pun intended hehehe) of what you’re looking for, feels meta. It’s mostly the characters discussing Lestat’s ghostwriter: “Really, Lestat, you need to have a talk with her. It’s getting out of hand. What sort of biographer makes everything up without the slightest regard to the truth?” *giggles*

Gonna open this up to the group and ask anyone to reblog or comment on this post if they know of fic that does this!

Cut for length.


There is another current writer I know of who does more of what you’re looking for on a regular basis BUT she doesn’t post publicly ;A; I will try to nudge her onto AO3 in your honor ;] To be honest, the interaction of the VC characters w/ fanfic of themselves is usually described as their being amused and/or creeped out, as most ppl who find out about RPF of themselves seem to be.

Lestat would be hella flattered and in fact…. he has written really shmoopy fluff of himself and Louis, which he has not-so-subtly tried to get Louis to read. Louis reads it and makes grammatical corrections and hands it back. Secretly, he’s very touched.

Louis loves the fanart but is mildly creeped out by the fandom’s fanfic of himself, partly bc he thinks the writers spend too much time glorifying his appearance, and/or he’s written out of character.

Louis: “Why do they all think I’m sunk in this, this deep depression all the time? I… do things… I go out.” 

Lestat: “How much of the evening do you spend outside if I don’t drag you out?” 

Louis: “Well, I have to go out to feed.”

Lestat: “And that takes, what, 30 or 40 minutes?”

Louis: “Yes, about.”

Lestat: “So you go out, on average, 35 minutes a night.”

Louis: “Depression is not defined by the lack of amount of time spent outside!”

Lestat: –

Louis: –

Lestat: –

Louis: “Shut up.”

I would also hope Lestat’s band would have a nice dose of Led Zeppelin mixed in there. (Also since he and Robert Plant have the same hair and elegance hehe)

How do you picture lestats band sounding? I always picture a danger says era My Chemical Romance thing

I think that’s different for everyone, and #your headcanon may vary, so your headcanon is as valid as any! Who knows how true to canon the new adaptation will be? It would be fine with me if they want to update his musical taste/sound, as long as it seems in character. 

But canon-wise, Lestat awoke in the mid-80s, before MCR was formed. AR wrote TVL w/ the 70′s and 80′s in mind. She’s mentioned Bon Jovi was a major Lestat muse for her (she even included him on the PL dedication page).

There’s fanon that Lestat loves Bruce Springsteen, too. So I’d say he would sound like a mix of Guns ‘n Roses, Bon Jovi, and Bruce Springsteen.

When whoever was in charge chose Korn to be the sound for Lestat’s band in movie!QOTD, they weren’t aiming for canon accuracy, but it was an interesting take on it. 

There’s also a Lestat band on FB you can check out, I think they officially got AR’s permission to use the name.
