Lestat would have cameo fleur-de-lis on EVERYTHING; he’d bypass just the glitter and go for glitter on top of shimmering materials. Also lace and feathers in typical NOLA style. There would be a fountain, everything that couldn’t be in glitter would be in white leather or silver. As I write I this, I slowly realize I’m also describing the ballroom scene in Labyrinth and now, I’m thinking that Lestat would probably eat that up anyway.

[^Followup to an anon’s ask about Lestat as a wedding planner.]

Yep, that sounds about right. Hey sarahandherlabyrinth! We’re talking bout the Labyrinth! 

If Lestat were to design a wedding, what do you think he would do?

For whom? I think Lestat would be like David Tutera, he would do a magnificent job as a wedding planner! 

If it’s for himself & Louis (what, are they gonna be King & Queen of the Damned now?! Is Louis gonna be QUEEN OF THE DAMNED???):

  • lots of candles,
  • sparkles,
  • glitz and glamour,
  • tastefully done,
  • and cameos,
  • and the wedding invites would be from Calligraphuck.com

//Thank you so much! I appreciate your kind words more than I can describe. <3

Hey girl, you’re welcome!

I feel like, yes, Prince Lestat was not the best VC, but also, some bits of it were actually still good, I can’t dismiss it in its entirety… and I’m hoping you can make Rose a more embraceable character. No pressure, or anything! hahaha. 

To me, Tom Cruise’s Lestat would have made a major difference if they used him instead of Townsend’s in that *atrocious* film titled Queen of the Damned. Tom Cruise’s Lestat was to me, the best adaptation of how I’ve always read him in the books. I’ve said something like that before, probably on this blog. But yeah, Tom Cruise’s Lestat would have made Queen of the Damned as a film for me more substantial and authentic. Lestat is the Brat Prince not Marilyn Manson wannabe. XP

Well, dear, you are preaching to the choir, and we did actually just have this discussion 😉

 Clearly Tom would agree with us both that he was the better Lestat, he had a great time doing it! He seems to look back fondly on the character, even casual encounters like this recent Jack Reacher publicity thing when asked about Lestat, admits “that was a fun character.” 
I don’t know what the QotD director was going for, but he seemed to want a 90’s feel, from the fashion of everyone in the movie, and the music. Korn was one of the badass bands in the 90s. Maybe the director couldn’t get Manson and wanted him.
The whole of QotD was such a trainwreck that I don’t think even Tom could have saved it. Plus he was too old by the time that was made in 2002, he was 40. Not that he looked his age then, but he definitely didn’t look around 21, which is how old Lestat supposed to be. 
 
I’ll add though that as successful as IWTV was, it unleashed a storm of teh ghey rumors on Tom and I think he wanted to avoid encouraging those rumors by reprising that role in particular. Or taking any roles that seemed gay. I can’t think of any other characters he’s played post-IWTV that are clearly bisexual, even.  

*sighs dreamily* My hero *heart eyes, motherfucker*

*hugs tightly* you’re very welcome! I aim to please ^3^ /

With great graphics power comes great responsibility. 

No but really I have the VC fandom to thank for my current (and evolving) graphic skill set, bc I saw gifs that I felt like I could do better, so I learned how to make gifs! Truly, my graphics skills have improved immensely just having this blog and being encouraged by ppl like you to keep improving and learning how to achieve better graphics! So I definitely hearteyes you all back, motherfuckers ❤

Once you get this you have to say five things you like about yourself, publicly, then send this to ten of your favorite followers

Awww thanks! I don’t usually do these but okayyyy u twisted my arm.

5 things I like about moi:

  1. My nails – they’re the envy of all the women in my family. And alot of my girl friends. 
  2. Stamina – I can be on my feet all day at art galleries, fueled only by coffee, icecream, and/or ART. 
  3. Voice – I have been told I have a euphonious voice *u*
  4. Sense of humor – well just look at my memeythings. 
  5. Taste – I like the finer things: marshmallow fluff, 90’s music, candles, a good book…

I don’t want to choose favorite followers, but anyone who follows me is welcome to do this!

I will say this for my own sake… Is you fault that I can’t take out of my head the image of Lee Pace/Thranduil as Marius. Makes me feangirl more Thranduil than the movie does. and now you must to do something, makes me love him more or just forget it ;__; #DramaQueen Mode ON

It was actually roykhaan who put this gifset out first, which I felt compelled to fix in this gifset.
