“It was the earring. The earring reframed him. It gave the appearance of a sensual side, sophisticated and subtle.” Captive Prince
Hey, Lestat: Have you ever considered recording music again?
♛Yes in fact I have more than considered it; and I may or may not be in progress on a new album. I’ve been doing time in a remote location with a little band, doing reworked covers of 80′s and 90′s music. So the new material will have that flavor.

*These are the actual lyrics from the novel, Queen of the Damned, btw.
Have you ever seen The Devil’s Violinist? The main guy in it makes me think of Nicolas with the way he looks (plus he’s an excellent violinist)
I haven’t but I really should bc it’s been recc’d to me before ;D Nicolas RPer @darknessmolten uses the main guy, David Garrett (yes he is an excellent violinist!), as their face-claim. More of my opinions about him here.
Here’s a little piece of him as Niccolo Paganini in the Devil’s Violinist.
Oh dear, Lestat. Would you consider marrying me?
♛Sweet little Anon! I’m so very touched that you think I’m marriage material!
It’s no secret that I have difficulty with monogamy. I like the idea of marriage, I like the concept of the ceremony that goes along with it, and all of the accompanying elements. Flowers! The fashion! Bridesmaids! Groomsmen! Vows!
Ah, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t sidestep the question so much. It’s a serious one.
I would have to love you so much that the chance of losing you would be too much to bear. Thinking about it now, that was the reason I brought over each of my fledglings. Well, most of them. Going to leave out naming those it didn’t apply to, I think you can figure that list out yourself.
Alas, Anon, I’m not truly suited for marriage. But thank you again, I am touched, deeply, that you would have chosen me.
Details of Michelangelo’s masterpiece “David” (1501–1504)
#the best thing I ever learned about the David is that he made it as a big ‘fuck you’ #according to one of my art teachers #he was given a shit piece of marble that made it incredibly difficult to work with #and it was done on purpose #and so insteaded of throwing a bitch fit or saying he couldn’t work with the marble- #thus proving that he ‘wasn’t that great of an artist’ #he looked at the marble and said ‘no fuck you I will make this my masterpiece and it will be the greatest thing I’ve ever made’ #which of course pissed people off when he did just that #I’m telling ya’ll right now that Renaissance art history is the greatest thing #it’s all a bunch of divas acting overly dramatic and getting into passing contests over who was the better artist #and being commissioned by the church to create propaganda #and then using said propaganda art to add content that subtly undermines the church #I once wrote a ten page paper on that specifically #and let me tell you: the biggest divas were the sculptors (x)
Everybody: *raising their voices slightly so they can speak to Lestat down at the other end of the Night Island* Lestat, do you want more rules to break?
Lestat: *at full volume* I’M ALWAYS A SLUT FOR DISASTER.
This is almost a sequence:
Lestat: hoe don’t do it-
Louis: *knocks over the candles*
Lestat: *as the fire spreads* oh my god
What was your thought process when you left Nicolas with the very people who broke him further than you did? I’m reading the vampire Lestat and was just wondering why you thought it was a good idea.
What alternative was there? Should I have dragged him around Europe with us in the search for Marius and for the answers that I did not have? What about when Gabrielle finally left and I lost all hope? Would he have gone to ground with me? Would he have been careful in his feeding habits when unleashed and roaming the countryside? And when I was rescued by Marius….when I finally looked upon Akasha’s face, would he have stood by my side?
I think not. It was he that returned to Renaud’s and it was he that formed The Theater of the Vampires! He hated the sight of me and I him but for different reasons….I hadn’t perished, the light never left me despite my descent into darkness! And he was a madman….half broken creature of dark genius! Would he have been happy to leave Paris? To stare at my face every evening and leave his music behind?
You know the answer if you are reading. Why ask me the questions to which you already know the answers? Are you attempting to demonize and damn me once more? Are you attempting to point out my mistakes when they parade themselves before me again on a nightly basis?
I have laid it bare at your feet and my sins are available at any time for you to browse and review over and over if you like. I am done with them, a tired tune indeed! Ask me no more!
I will find a way to give Nicolas purpose again but I realize that together, we do nothing but poison the well over and over until neither of us can drink.
