♛ I am familiar with this fictional character. Some say we bear a striking resemblance…
He wears a higher heel than I do, that’s for sure.

Losing Lestat
// AR shared this article on FB last night, and I, for one, am fucking terrified.
I’m not leaving…
Wow, *huge sigh of relief.*
TL;DR: I read it. It’s an essay from some random person, Carmen Dominique Taxer, about how RPers of fictional characters, specifically Lestat, are somehow divorcing readers from their headcanons of the fictional characters due to the way the RPers choose to portray these characters. That Taxer herself feels she had some kind of intimate connection with Lestat that RPer’s are somehow responsible for dissolving.
[As an aside: I thought that the article was going to be an interview with AR re: the next VC and she was saying smtg like, “~Welp guys I revived him, spruced him all up, and crowned him *~KING~* and now I’m ready to //SLAUGHTER// HIM IN THE NEXT BOOK HOW D’YA LIKE THEM APPLES?? xoxo AR~" which is absolutely not what the article was about which was a huge relief]
The scary part is not the accusation of the author of the essay. The scary part could be that AR shared it on her page. But she presented it without her own opinion. In the past, presenting topics without her own opinion was an open invitation to her POTP army to descend upon whoever/whatever the topic was and crush them/it out of existence.
That doesn’t seem to be her intention here. I didn’t see her response(s), if there were any, to the feedback she got on it. She might really just be curious about how her readers might agree or disagree with Ms. Taxer.
A quick skim showed that RPers defended themselves very eloquently and respectfully. I pasted one such response below:
Hit the jump for more on this, but basically, dudes, RPers, fanfic writers, I do not sense any disturbance in our corner of the Force. Continue business as usual.
And really, I think it’s wonderful that we have Lestats to flirt and interact with, Louis’s ("Louisi”?) to tease about fire, Armands to push around, Daniels to pester, characters like Claudia and Nicolas revived from their canon deaths, etc. etc., basically, #LOVE TO ALL THE RPERS!
Kristy Ashton: “Read through it a little bit and it was a nicely written piece I felt it gave role players a very bad name.
I have been a role player going on 20 years in a large variety of platforms and not all of us ‘steal’ canon characters for our own. My characters have always and will always be original and so have my storylines because I don’t like ‘rules’ laid down for restricted storylines.
But what upset me was the reference to role players as hollow creatures. It reminds me to much how fan fic writers are seen as having no creativity. I wrote fan fiction as a teenager and I saw it as creative exercise, just like role play.
I am a writer now, creating all my own original material and characters, and not once have I ever felt bad for any of this. This article felt like shaming to me and kinda ticked me off in that way.”
I added my emphasis in bold. Taxer responded to Ashton that she herself is a role-player! She says that “the role-players I refer to specifically are not the same as the traditional rp’ers. I have a lot of respect for someone that can take on the nature of a character, but, I have met some… less than honest ones online. I woud like to clarify now, that, the manipulations referred to in this article are not every role-player I have ever met, though, far too many, so much so, that, it has caused me to lose my own passion for roleplaying. Something that saddens me greatly…
I abhor the resentment passed on role-players, and that includes the resentment I may have perpetuated here, which is why I have placed a disclaimer into the original article now.”
So she basically withdraws some of the resentment after some more rational conversation about it.
Shakespeare’s Othello | Starring Omar Sy, Lea Seydoux, Gaspard Ulliel, Clemence Poesy, and Romain Duris.
Shakespeare’s tragedy set in contemporary Paris in the world of old money and the elite, a world made up of champagne, fast cars, and lavish parties. Self-made man Othello (Sy), has recently eloped with the breathtaking Desdemona (Seydoux), after bringing himself up from the Paris slums to become the founder of his own company. Although Othello and Desdemona’s love is passionate and genuine, it is not accepted by all: Desdemona’s CEO father is furious that Othello has allegedly seduced his daughter, and Roderigo, a wealthy bank owner and a possible husband for Desdemona, is angered that the “new money” Othello has stolen her from him. Othello takes the somewhat inexperienced Michael Cassio (Duris) as his new business partner, angering Iago (Ulliel) who believes that he deserves the job over Cassio. When Othello must go to Montparnasse for business, Desdemona goes with him, as well as Cassio, Iago, and Iago’s wife Emilia (Poesy). What no one knows is that Iago has plans to destroy Othello’s marriage and his business, bringing down everyone in the process.

I ship Armand and Lestat ^-^
They have a bizarre kind of chemistry, don’t they?! If they weren’t both so obsessed with being alpha, they could really enjoy each other.
This is one of the only fanarts I’ve seen of them in any kind of shippiness, and even then, I think it’s the scene in TVL where Lestat is succumbing to Armand’s illusions.
“You know it was the damnedest luck!” I whispered suddenly. “I am an unwilling devil. I cry like some vagrant child. I want to go home.”
[Source unknown, even reverse-image searched. Tell me the source if you know it!]
Anyhow they have referred to eachother in canon as being brothers of a sort, so I tag them #murder brothers, if you want more Lestat/Armand action.
