What was it like when Nicolas and Lestat were mortal lovers, did they face prejudice at that time for being in a relationship together? Did their families know that they were together?

From my reading, I think their families knew, I don’t know to what extent they faced prejudice for being lovers, I don’t know what that must have been like in the 18th century in France.

[^fanart by @garama] I would assume that they did have to face prejudice and other harassment for being lovers, but that they chose to stay together in spite of the prejudice/harassment, it was something they could weather.

  • There seems to be a shared fanon headcanon that Nicki was Lestat’s first real boyfriend
  • They even “did it” in church *gasp* *clutches pearls* (that’s an RPer’s drabble but #headcanon accepted)

I’m not an expert, anyone want to chime in?

Lestat, don’t patronize the tiny beast. 😦

I can’t remember why I started drawing this but now it’s gonna be the cover for a fanmix I may finish /wiggles out of commitment

Lestat/Armand was never a ship I thought about when I was younger idk but older me recognizes it as Good.

Fan Made Painting of River as Lestat

“When it came to casting the role of the Vampire Lestat in the much anticipated screen adaptation of Anne Rice’s best seller Interview with the Vampire, River Phoenix was the author’s first choice. She felt that Phoenix, with his mysteriously haunted yet fragile quality was perfect to play the Vampire and fought for him to get the part. It was the first big-budget Hollywood movie for Irish Neil Jordan. Jordan was at the mercy of the studio, who wanted proven box-office star Tom Cruise for the starring role. They agreed to give Phoenix the lesser role of Malloy, the narrator, as a consolation prize. Rice was furious when Cruise was cast and went public to complain about his being the wrong choice”

I’ve been throwing this idea around Twitter…

Fan artists, we have the largest reach among the youngest voting bracket of all artists on social media. Young people online who’ve just become old enough to vote see our art more than they see any other kind of art.

It would be rad if we used our reach to get young people to register to vote.

So I propose the #artforthevote tag. Fan artists, put the message in the art itself or include it in your caption when you post your next piece. Include a link to https://vote.gov/ and tag your art #artforthevote.

“So my love your laughter is finally
turning into tears
And you’re begging for more
though the end is getting near
Come closer my love
I’ll violate you in the most sensual way…
Until you drown in this love”
