Hello Lestat, I have been a vampire for around as long as you maybe longer, I was born in French inhabited America but returned to France to live up until the end of the revolution. What was/ is your opinion of the atrocities that took place?
//ooc; This has been sitting in my inbox for a month, I’m not a history buff and not into historical politics, and I did ask around, but it’s tough to answer. What would he remember about that? Vampires supposedly have perfect memories. What are his opinions? VC does not get very political.

“By day I almost forgot the vision of the inn, and the darkness. Unless, of course, … I happened upon a public execution in the place de Grave.
And I was always happening upon a public execution in the place de Grave.
I’d wander out of the square shuddering, almost moaning. I could become obsessed with it if not distracted.” – The Vampire Lestat (p.1, ch.7)
He wasn’t a vampire at that point, but clearly those public executions had an impact on him bc he brings it up later as a vampire. Even though he causes death often, death as spectacle is different. Still, he doesn’t suggest that they shouldn’t have done it.
The French Revolution took his brothers, their wives, and all his nieces and nephews, and as much as he despised his brothers, he still took care of his father until the end of his life in New Orleans, and he still had a dream that he turned his whole family into vampires, so what that means to you as a reader is up for interpretation.
Anyone can comment. What do you think any of the vampires’ opinion is/was of the atrocities that took place during the French Revolution?
Chibi Lestat and Louis on the Devi’s road. It’s a VC fanart we did several years ago but we’re stil fond of it. ^___^/
Heya ! I’ve always wondered about how Lestat would feel about today’s french, how would he speak ? Would he use slang or would he stick to a more polite and noble way of speaking ? (noble slang, seems like Lestat’s jam tho.)
I’m not sure about that specifically, but I think Lestat curses alot more than he lets on in the books.
[X by @mortcharmant, bc ppl tried to curb Lestat’s cursing by spritzing him w/ holy water, didn’t work.]
Noble or not, Lestat loves learning slang and sometimes uses it incorrectly, and that can be hilarious in itself. In general, I think he does try to keep it classy, if possible.
Do you watch Yuri on Ice? <3
Tbh, I’ve only seen a few episodes so far, I’m waiting until it’s all broadcast and then I can binge it from the beginning ;D
But I really would love a VC figure skating AU… #fanfic request, #fanart request… Reminds me of this… @thacmis‘s Thor, Loki, Fandral figure skating AU magicalness…
“I Gotcha” by @thacmis. It’s Thor/Loki and it’s adorable.
Master lestat may i ask a question of you. What exactly do you look for in a person in order to determine if you want to make them one of the damned? Personality wise more than physical traits and even then do you even look for any specific physical traits?
-forever yours crissabelle laffiate
♛Miss Crissabelle, this is a very difficult question… and I might answer differently now than I would have in the past, and may answer differently in the future.
I don’t consider myself “damned,” not in the literal sense of the word. Not all the time, anyway. If I really did, I don’t think I could bring anyone into this life with me. I’ve always seen this existence more as an incredible adventure, why keep it to myself? In the same breath, not everyone can handle it, I can’t just give it out to every striking face and beautiful spirit that crosses my path. There has to be more to it than that.
Superficially, I admit I tend to be drawn to musicians and
dark haired people. Musicians because they have a passion for something, they needn’t be the best at their instrument but that they practice it and it gives them intrinsic pleasure outside of the applause of an audience… music is a language that speaks to the soul in ways nothing else can. Brunets, well, I admit I find them visually appealing, the darkness is a mystery, it begs to be touched, explored. There happens to be plenty of dark haired musicians out there so I can feel free to feed my heart’s desire in lusting after all of them and enjoy them without getting close enough to needing to invite them onto the Devil’s Road with me.
Appearance is always secondary to the inner qualities, and I can’t tell you what specifically those are. At minimum, the person has to know what they’re getting into, yes, you can live this life without killing, but killing is part of the fun as far as I’m concerned! At minimum, I choose people who are whole onto themselves and aren’t looking for me to complete them. People with their own pursuits. I’m not a babysitter. I’m not looking for a babysitter.
It’s different for different people, but I would say that it all comes down to chemistry and I can’t define that for you. Patience is probably the main required personality trait.
The shape of their body does not matter to me, their gender, their age… it’s the indefinable spark you feel in their presence because the two of you are together. More than lust. Simmering joy in being with them, not because they entertain you, but because of what you can be together.
What you’re really asking is what I look for in a lover, because, with certain exceptions to this rule, the Dark Gift is for those who I need to keep with me forever, those who I can’t allow to slip away into the maw of time, if they’ll have me back. I’m not adopting a pet or taking on a student; that seems to end in disappointment sooner or later.
So just being pleasant and charming is not enough. Real relationships have friction. I look for someone whose inner soul speaks to mine in ways no other does, someone for whom the fights make us stronger, because we have an underlying foundation of devotion to each other.
Though I may fall in love easily, I do not fall in devotion easily.
Art Theft and Tracing in the DA Fandom
I’ve recently been made aware by multiple sources that some of the art that I’ve drawn within the last couple weeks has been heavily traced and then posted without credit. This is extremely disappointing.
I personally am completely fine with other artists finding inspiration with the content I create. In fact, studying the technique of other artists is one of the most efficient ways I personally learn new skills and had this person simply asked me for permission and then subsequently credited me, I would have absolutely no issue. However, I don’t consider tracing the lineart and the composition of a piece, changing minor details, and then posting this work without any kind of credit to be genuine in any way. This is art theft and plagiarism and is absolutely unacceptable.
I’ve decided to let this instance slide but please be aware that I see the people responsible for this and I am keeping a close eye on their blog and other artists and will likely be a lot less nice the next time this happens. I depend quite a bit on this income my receive from my art and, on top of that, find it personally insulting to have my art traced without permission. I also encourage other dragon age fanartists to watch out for people who may be plagiarizing their art because i suspect this is not the first time this person has traced other people’s work.
Please do not make this community an unsafe place for artist’s to share their hard work.
Ice boys in love.
