Honestly, the song Edge of Seventeen by Stevie Nicks to me as a song represents the fabulousness of Lestat. I don’t know, whenever I hear that song I just feel like all of his antics go with that song’s level of energy. Lestat is fierce and even though he’s a Brat Prince he’s still fabulous. I also think that song has a bit of sass in it which I always thought Lestat had in spades.

I have to agree with you on that. It’s a very ballsy anthem, a very, “I may not know everything about this world, but when I get knocked down, hell if I’m gonna let it keep me down!”

There’s a mention of a guy in it, and it’s easy to see this as a young and fragile Lestat:

He was no more
(He was no more)
Than a baby then
Well, he seemed broken hearted
Somethin’ within him
But the moment
That I first laid
Eyes on him
All alone on the edge of seventeen

He’s only ever wanted to be loved, if you look at all the instances of him Doing the Thing, it was in pursuit of that goal. Religion taught him that to be loved, you must be Good. The idea is that Goodness makes one worthy of love, even when his religious beliefs have waned. The trouble is that his formative years were a confusing series of neglect and abuse (with little love from Gabrielle), the first real love he ever really shared was probably with Nicolas. And that ended pretty badly ;A;

So he still struggles with how to love (and not merely possess), and be loved (allow people to love him).

Good things come in small packages. But then again, so does poison.

♛ OH THAT IS RUDE. It didn’t take much poison then to bring me to my knees, did it? Well I’ll have you know that I spent the last few years building up an immunity to iocane powder *snorts* 

Alright it wasn’t iocane powder she used. But the point stands, I can’t be poisoned with such a small dose of anything now. 

I do and I’ll usually do the requested things. The things I can’t/won’t do are – naked people – any character who hasn’t any promo photos that I can use (because photographs by other people are really dangerous because of copyright infringement) But ask away and I will try to please you ;)

^This lovely person does commissions, go check out their blog for gr9 photomanipulation art! Like this one:

psssst, they seem to like Hannibal alot, for you fannibals out there…

Hey, I asked two questions a couple weeks ago and it still hasn’t been answered. One was about what kind of music the VC vampires listened too and the other was about what Louis would do if he were human for one day. Just wondering what’s taking so long because usually my questions are answered within a few days.

Yessss, I received those! I’m still thinking about them!

^this could be a text from either one of them tbh…


I’m sorry, normally I CAN and do reply within a few days, as part of my Being the Active and Responsive VC Blogger I Want to See in the World. I actually have a backlog of a number of asks… It’s very unusual that I don’t reply within a few days. I’ll try to get my inbox cleared this week, promis juré! (”pinky swear!” learned this from takemetocoffin-or-losemeforever <3)

I could say the reason I didn’t reply is that “I’m busy,” but that’s also often used as a blanket excuse answer, so I’ll prove it: 

I’ve had a flurry of fanwork inspiration in the past 2 weeks; some recent RPing, I was working on a ficlet for a fandom friend’s birthday that I posted recently, and another 2 ficlets that I haven’t posted yet (1 is ready and the other is not), and before that I made two VC parody videos [1, my first original post to break 10K notes!! zomg!] and [2 which features a snippet of Britney Spears music aww yisss]… 

ALSO I have a personal rule that I try not to post more than 10x a day, I don’t want to spam y’all and I think I’m over my limit today. Even though fanworks are happy spam (ノ°∀°)ノ’.:*・°☆

SPECIFICALLY THOSE ASKS THOUGH:

I guess it’s hard because in terms of music, that’s a big answer, and I’m trying to think of ways to answer it without it being a Wall of Text™ because noone wants to read that much…

Aaaand the Louis question is also hard because that’s another potential Wall of Text™ because there are so many things I think he’d love! And there’s the question of does he get to decide where he is when it happens? Maybe he’d want to go somewhere outside NOLA for a daylight experience. 

So I’m still percolating on those and all my asks, please be patient, it’s always worth the wait from Mater Fabuloso, oui?

Happy Father’s Day! In two ways I guess. Thank you for everything in my mortal life, and my immortal one.

♛ You wonderful creature, you’ve always deserved it all and more, mon bijou *embraces and showers her with kisses*

That’s one of the details I did like about the QOTD movie; I don’t remember Lestat taking earphones/buds into his coffin in any of the later books, but he did in the film, and I can absolutely see him doing that, and forgetting them often.

Yep, agreed. Since you mentioned movie!QOTD, I was reminded of Time Warner Cable’s eloquent synopsis of it:

Riiiiight he unites with his counterpart, Akasha. RIGHT. That’s not what I’d call her.

I’m pretty sure he still is. He still makes posts on Anne’s fb page and if he isn’t he’s probably still close to her because I think his girlfriend works for her too. Stina is the most precious creature ever.

Oh, wow thanks. I had no idea. He wasn’t at the Prince Lestat booksigning in NY 10/2014. I don’t know about Stina. The MOST precious creature ever? Hmmm. Orly?
