“Can you list a few modern professions you feel Lestat would have, if…”

It’s funny that you said illustrator bc my headcanon is that Lestat can’t draw to save his life (that’s why claudia liked drawing so much), vampire or not

Also: Lestat the young theatre actor. Louis the bookshop owner. Armand the eternal intern lol

Hmmmm, well, yeah, I used to headcanon that Lestat can’t draw, but then there are these quotes about his handwriting, so I feel like he does have some skill, but maybe just hasn’t really tried to Art specifically: 

  • “… Lestat does everything in a big way-covers half the page with his magnificent lettering.” – David Talbot, Queen of the Damned
  • “[Mona’s] generation, with Touch-Tone phones. Big deal! I can write with a quill pen in a flurry of curlicues you wouldn’t believe; let’s see her do that. And I don’t spill a drop of ink on the parchment, either.” – Lestat de Lioncourt, Blood Canticle 

Lestat the young theatre actor WELL OBVIOUSLY! *facepalm for missing that on my list*

Louis would definitely be a bookshop owner, he would handwrite all those little Staff Rec tabs, too. And he wouldn’t sell special editions to anyone he felt wouldn’t take care of them.

again, am i kicked out of the fandom yet

You’ll have to try MUCH HARDER to be kicked out the fandom now that we are aware of your artistic skill. You’re a gift to us. So sayeth Uncle Lestan.

PS. I approve of this “Tasty fans” catchphrase, yes, good. 

PPS. If you are about to accuse moi of taking up too much space avec my autograph, I say this: she asked for it One must adequately mark one’s property or it may be stolen. It’s happened too many damned times. ARMAND I’M LOOKING AT U I SWEAR TO GOD HAD I TATTOOED MY NAME ACROSS LOUIS’ CHEST BEFORE I TURNED HIM…

I believe I read an article about illiteracy that said people who were illiterate into adulthood have far better hand writing than those who learned at a young age. I believe it’s because they valued it more and tended to treat it as a ‘gift’ or ‘art’.

So I met Santiago Stephen Rea last night after his performance in A Particle of Dread, and brought him two headshots, intending for him to choose which one he preferred to sign.

He signed both. I was very pleased.

To explain the “20 yrs” comment: I had told him I’ve been a fan of his for 20 yrs “…because of this,” and that’s when I handed him the headshots. He smiled, said, “Oh, that was so fun.” And then I asked him for a memorable story from the set. He thought for a moment, and said he couldn’t really remember anything specific except the Fred Astaire gag, and I let him explain it to me, even though WE ALREADY KNOW HOW THAT WORKED FROM THE DVD bc clearly, it was his most memorable moment.

Sorry you can’t see my face with him, but I felt like I’d asked enough of him, couldn’t ask for a selfie, too… and so you get my backside and his frontside!

PS. He liked my pen. It’s a Marvy calligraphy pen, 2.0. I almost gave it to him. It’s a great pen to use when getting autographs bc of the variable line weight.
