Psssst: I’m extremely picky about the ones I make, so for every vampire meme you see, there are like 3-5 rejected ideas, bc I only want to spend the time making them if the idea itself gives me a visceral reaction or at least an internal giggle first 😉
*nods* I know that feel. When writing fic, sometimes it’s easier to write Lestat from the outside, let other characters describe things about him that even he himself is unaware of. Someone telling a story about you, describing you, they’re painting a portrait like an artist would, and it’s often much more accurate than a photograph ❤
At the booksigning 11/30/16, AR told us this comment a friend made to her re: Lestat’s portrayal in IWTV
(bc even AR was surprised that Lestat was the one she wanted to explore more!):
“You drew Louis in black ink… and then painted Lestat in flaming colors!”
♛Obviously I am. He’s just so stuffy about it! Needs to learn how to loosen up. I’m grateful that he IS willing to learn and can take an enormous amount of criticism so there’s a chance we’ll be able to dance at our
Lestat is an excellent dancer bc he practices on corpses. As for the singing, well, he struggles with the desire to entertain ppl at the slightest provocation. It will be an issue at the wedding.
