Lestat: “DONT MOPE I DONT WANT OUR BABIES TO BE MOPEY
But the important question is, why did Louis memorize this passage?
Idk there’s some discussion whether “poised” meant “boner” and I never interpreted that way, bc how awkward would it be for them to all be walking around w/ tents pitched in their pants? I THINK IT WOULDA BEEN MENTIONED BEFORE. Like in IWTV when Lestat first appears to Louis. Pretty sure Louis would have run screaming.
I think “poised” meant “waiting in normal default resting position,” which sounds alot less poetic, and I think his point in mentioning it was bc he woke up alot whiter, and it was bizarre to see that change all over his body. Plus all these women were coming into the room and they were barely able to keep from pouncing on his joysitck, bc, y’know, LESTAT.

Ahhh… that is a tough one! They definitely like the fanart of themselves.
[^X Digging up an oldie from the archive which I have tidied up a little for ya and I would just like to mention that the above was screencapped from the ACTUAL TV screen so there is interlacing and whatever I don’t care it adds to the charm, oui/oui? but HEY it motivated me to improve my graphic skills for y’all and I DID]
The only writer that immediately comes to mind is our very own fandom treasure @gairid, who has a Through the 4th Wall, Darkly series which does something in the vein (pun intended hehehe) of what you’re looking for, feels meta. It’s mostly the characters discussing Lestat’s ghostwriter: “Really, Lestat, you need to have a talk with her. It’s getting out of hand. What sort of biographer makes everything up without the slightest regard to the truth?”*giggles*
Gonna open this up to the group and ask anyone to reblog or comment on this post if they know of fic that does this!
Cut for length.
There is another current writer I know of who does more of what you’re looking for on a regular basis BUT she doesn’t post publicly ;A; I will try to nudge her onto AO3 in your honor ;] To be honest, the interaction of the VC characters w/ fanfic of themselves is usually described as their being amused and/or creeped out, as most ppl who find out about RPF of themselves seem to be.
Lestat would be hella flattered and in fact…. he has written really shmoopy fluff of himself and Louis, which he has not-so-subtly tried to get Louis to read. Louis reads it and makes grammatical corrections and hands it back. Secretly, he’s very touched.
Louis loves the fanart but is mildly creeped out by the fandom’s fanfic of himself, partly bc he thinks the writers spend too much time glorifying his appearance, and/or he’s written out of character.
Louis: “Why do they all think I’m sunk in this, this deep depression all the time? I… do things… I go out.”
Lestat: “How much of the evening do you spend outside if I don’t drag you out?”
Louis: “Well, I have to go out to feed.”
Lestat: “And that takes, what, 30 or 40 minutes?”
Louis: “Yes, about.”
Lestat: “So you go out, on average, 35 minutes a night.”
Louis: “Depression is not defined by the lack of amount of time spent outside!”
Nothing new to me recently 😛 Track my #vc news tag for the latest! I have book AND movie related news in that tag, I may try to separate it out when my new layout happens.
I think that’s different for everyone, and #your headcanon may vary, so your headcanon is as valid as any! Who knows how true to canon the new adaptation will be? It would be fine with me if they want to update his musical taste/sound, as long as it seems in character.
But canon-wise, Lestat awoke in the mid-80s, before MCR was formed. AR wrote TVL w/ the 70′s and 80′s in mind. She’s mentioned Bon Jovi was a major Lestat muse for her (she even included him on the PL dedication page).
There’s fanon that Lestat loves Bruce Springsteen, too. So I’d say he would sound like a mix of Guns ‘n Roses, Bon Jovi, and Bruce Springsteen.
When whoever was in charge chose Korn to be the sound for Lestat’s band in movie!QOTD, they weren’t aiming for canon accuracy, but it was an interesting take on it.
There’s also a Lestat band on FB you can check out, I think they officially got AR’s permission to use the name.
