Do you think Marius was jelous when Armand was hooking up with that english lord? Because I think he was, which is curious because he didn’t have a problem with him fooling around with the half of Venice

Marius is one of our more Problematic™

characters in canon, so take every discussion about him and his treatment of Armand/Amadeo with a huge truckload of salt and patience, bc there are some strong opinions out there.

Marius knew about Armand (known then as “Amadeo”) and Lord Harlech. He might have been jealous, but didn’t say so in TVA, only that he was worried for Amadeo’s safety:

“He has quite the reputation, your English lord, slamming down his knife on the board in any tavern he chooses. Do you have to consort with common murderers? You have a nonpareil here when it comes to those who take life.”

@auburnandamberangel, @sheepskeleton, @amadeo-child-of-the-renaissance, @faceofabotticelliangel, @annabellioncourt, @vraik, and @anton-mordrid would all probably have better answers for this… anyone is invited to reblog/comment and add their thoughts.

The main difference I see is that Marius gave Amadeo the autonomy and independence to make his own choices in this regard, and Amadeo was more rebelling against Marius in his fling w/ Lord Harlech than furthering his sexcapades education. It turned out that LH was bonkers, got all weird and overly possessive and wanted to kidnap Amadeo… it was a bad breakup.

[X, @cloudsinvenice said: I’m thinking Armand when he fights Lord Harlech, personally.]

There’s some debate about why Marius sent Amadeo around for all those sexual escapades and I always read it as part of Marius’ full-rounded education deal that he wanted Amadeo to have; to have experienced all the good things in life that can be humanly experienced, and to show him that physical intimacy doesn’t have to be the horrible experience it was when Amadeo was kept in the brothels. Not necessarily the best cure for a sexually abused child/teenager but Marius was probably thinking of it as exposure therapy:

Exposure therapy is a technique in behavior therapy used to treat anxiety disorders. It involves the exposure of the patient to the feared object or context without any danger, in order to overcome their anxiety and/or distress. Procedurally it is similar to the fear extinction paradigm in rodent work. 

Hi Lestat, can I come to you for romance advice? Is it bad that I’m jealous of my two best friends (a guy and girl)? We both like him, too. I always feel like a third wheel when it’s the three of us. I feel like they will probably get together soon and they would be cute together, but it kinda sucks. I don’t really know what to do. Maybe you have some good advice (from experience). Thank you Lestat (:

♛This is something I have yet to master myself. I’m more in love with myself than anyone else, so really, when people choose each other over me, it’s more their loss than mine.

It hasn’t happened yet, be glad that your friends are still just your friends. So no need to be truly jealous yet. But yes, being a third wheel is not much fun.

([X] //ooc; ^L/L didn’t do this so explicitly in front of her, but I imagine that’s how Claudia might have felt in general ;A;)

I don’t know enough about your situation to advise you one way or the other, but it is possible to let them date each other if that’s what happens, and their happiness can be your happiness, you don’t have to dump them both as friends just for leaving you out. They’ll still need you separately, if they valued your friendship in the first place.

You can ask them not to slobber all over each other when they’re in your presence, though, that seems like a reasonable request.

Of course, if Louis and David “got together” as they say, and left me out, I’d have a tough time being happy for them. Very tough. No. Impossible. They’re not allowed. Absolutely not! 

The main thing to remember is that finding a mate shouldn’t be your mission. If it happens, it happens, and if not, then not. But you should never feel lesser because you’re single. Friendship is as valid as a romantic relationship. In some ways, even more difficult. Different definition of intimacy. I’ve known people whose relationships were based mostly on sex and they had little else really in common. It was enough for them, but it wouldn’t be enough for me.

If they do start dating each other and you can’t be happy for them, you should probably not torment yourself by being around them. Focus on other things you’ve been meaning to do, or meet new people. 

Good evening, darling. May I ask you a music advice? A song you recommend to listen to in the dark of my room? Right now When Love and Death Embrace by HIM is playing through my headphones. Thank you, Prince ♡

♛Digging your smile apart
With my spade tongue.
The hole is where the heart is.
We built this tomb together,
And I won’t fill it alone…

Just out of curiosity; Lestat, why do they call you the Brat Prince?

Leave a comment

♛It’s a long story, earned over time, I always had the Brat in me, but the Prince part, well, wasn’t born into that kind of royalty, that election may have been rigged…

My coven gave me this illustrious title as an insult but look at me now! I SHOWED THEM. Now I’m the boss of them all. Hah!

Hi there Lestat =) you once mentioned something about ‘preserving musicians for all eternity’ by giving them the Dark Gift; and I know you’re into Bon Jovi, but what about (my personal favourite) David Bowie? I’m still sad that he’s gone… Not sure why, but he reminded me a bit of you, and I think you two would have gotten along great ;) xx

♛I know! I know, I know…  I adore Bowie. I visited him many times, in the eighties up to more recently. We got along very well. We did a few of his songs and a few of mine together, privately. No recording.

[X] We shared the same sense of humor, for sure. 

Not that I definitely would have given it to him, but we discussed it. He knew what I was. He didn’t want it.

I told him before any of the doctors did, I could sense… that his time was limited. I wasn’t ready to lose him, we both thought he had more time to consider it. 

… Or maybe I did turn him, and he’s living somewhere outside the public eye… you may never know… until he finds you alone at night and you can see his fangs for yourself… *blows a kiss*

Louis what do think about Lestat’s dog, Mojo? Do you like pets or Lestat brings animals despite it drives you crazy?

Leave a comment

♠(Louis) It took me some time to warm up to him, and he to me, since our first meeting had gone so badly, but he became a loved member of our home. Lestat does not usually bring home animals. He has plenty of other ways to drive me crazy. As a mortal, I loved horses, and still ride them now. There is a cat who visits. We kept caged birds for some time. In general, I don’t like to keep animals. 

image

[X] Animals instinctively reject us and it is rare to find one who sees us for who we are rather than what we are, and Mojo was such a creature. He could absolutely understand everything we said, and he spoke to us in his own way, we learned his huffs and barks and those happy whines when we would both give him our full petting attention. Lestat still makes some of those noises, secret code sounds which only we know. Mojo has left an indelible mark on us.

*sighs* Mojo was in a way our furry son, and we had to make the hard decision to give him mercy at the end of his life. Letting him go was painful, to say the least. 

Dear Lestat, I didn’t mean to offend you. It was inappropriate of me to behave thusly – I have been known to burn myself when playing with fire. That being said, I admire you for your wit and cleverness and devilish good looks, and I shan’t bother you again. You don’t have to answer this one, I just wanted you to know. And now I bid you goodnight, sweet prince. Sincerely, Helena.

//ooc; It’s okay, no offense taken, he just didn’t want to address all the points in your message, he’s not going to spend his time bickering over pseudonyms. Lestat RPers vary in their portrayal of the character, this Lestat is not a perfect warm and loving cinnamon roll to everyone and he takes jabs right in the middle of being warm and loving. It’s part of his charm. If he’s teasing you, especially about your name, when he comes up with such terrible aliases for himself, it means he’s feeling more comfortable around you, because he doesn’t do that with people he openly dislikes.

OOC: I really didn’t mean to create a fuss or offend you! I actually looked to see if you had any RP guidelines or some such I should follow before replying, but didn’t see any. I really had no long-term plans or desire to annoy. I enjoy your blog and just wanted to play along. My apologies for the bother. -S

//ooc; It’s okay! No fuss, I’m not offended. It’s just that Lestat’s been asked for the Dark Gift so many times, and it’s kind of frustrating for him because people seem to think he gives it up to anyone who asks, like some kind of Dark Gift Slut… which has only been the case a few times in canon, but there was still reasoning behind it, he still had met the person and interacted with them.

RP is tough bc in the writing you can “really meet/interact with” the muse, like hug them or touch them, but my Lestat is more like a co-mod of this blog and takes most messages as messages only. He’s primarily an Ask Lestat, not available for real threads bc I just don’t have the time and don’t want to play favorites, even with anons.

And really, I think the response was slightly ooc anyway, Lestat probably wouldn’t go to the trouble to think about what would happen if he really said Yes to everyone. The Dark Gift is serious business, despite what it looks like in canon, it’s nothing to be distributed out like free t-shirts at a baseball game or whatever! He also really dislikes leading people on.

People don’t always look for or respect guidelines when interacting with an RPer, but yes, I/he should have guidelines, thanks for bringing that to my attention 😉

Dear Lestat, of course I have to take some precautions. If you decided you were offended by a stranger asking for your Dark Gift, a mortal such as myself has little enough defense even with anonymity. If it’s any help, I’m not considered unattractive by my peers. I could almost be Louis’ sibling- black hair, rather large green eyes. I assure you that you would tower over me, and are invited to do so. I’m deeply fond of Bon Jovi and a great deal of Celtic rock. How’s my resume thus far? -S

//ooc; Lestat won’t be considering any more Dark Gift requests, respectfully, find another Lestat RPer.

Let’s be real here, this is a fandom blog and it’s run by a human, there is no way this Lestat could jump up and ask for your address and come visit you to get to know you or turn you! Keep that in mind when you send him asks, he’s limited by being FICTIONAL and doesn’t want to make promises he can’t keep.//

♛You’re missing my point… *sigh*

If you are frightened for your life of revealing yourself to me in fear of offending me, then we’ve already started off on the wrong foot *frowns*. How can you start a relationship that could last far longer than any mortal relationship in fear? No. You can’t. 

It’s not about your appearance or height, while yes, it does perturb me that David is taller than I am, but that’s what heeled boots were made for! And it is fun to be the shorter one in a kiss and have to tilt my face up to him, just for a change of pace. 

It’s not about your taste in music, although it’s no secret that I adore Bon Jovi. You may have mentioned that just to kiss up to me… I hope that you don’t try to conform yourself to try to please others, enjoy that Celtic rock!

What I’m looking for is that chemistry you feel when you’re with someone you love or could love and they feel the same way for you. For me, that needs to happen in the physical. I don’t know of any vampire who’s promised the Dark Gift to a stranger they met on the internet, or before that existed, a penpal relationship. Perhaps it’s worked for others, but not for me. 

Don’t you realize that even if I wanted to say Yes, and turn every single one of you who beg for vampirism, the sheer volume of such a task would probably kill me emotionally before it did physically?! Would we pick a church somewhere and have people fall in line for this kind of communion? I do have other interests than making vampires all night, every night, for months or even the years it would take to fill all the requests.

And then what of the fact that it does not always work, would we group all the “duds” into a dog kennel out back? Would we take care of them in a home somewhere or kill them to put them out of their misery and send their bodies back to their families? What if YOU became one of these duds? It’s all too gruesome and I’m terrified just thinking about it. Major buzzkill, as they say.

I hate to say No, so please stop asking me for this.
