Who is your favorite VC character and why? (Mine is Lestat :D)

Leave a comment

Short answer: S A M E here.

Long answer: SAAAAAAAAME HEEEEEEERE. It wasn’t always this way. I had a mother once wtf self? I still do. And movie!Louis, he had a wife. He was mortal, the same as she, and SO WAS I. 

AR made us what we are, didn’t she? *sobs*

I digress… lol… 

I answered this a little differently awhile back, when sonicdreamworld asked me who my fave was in IWTV alone. I think Claudia drew me into the whole series, I identified with her first bc I was 11, and felt mature for my age, and wanted to be taken seriously, and all that frustration that goes along with that. I was obsessed with antagonists at that point in my reading life, so I of course loved the friction between Lestat and everyone Claudia. 

In TVL Lestat had me at Hello, the little bastard. So many of his character traits were in line with mine (tactlessness, infallible optimism, hawtness, etc.), I felt I’d found my spirit animal. So much the better that other people feel this way about him, too! I feel a definite connection with others who have, for better or worse, laid their affections with him ❤ 

Like Louis, for example, you know Lestat is his fave, too!

Poor Louis. He has no idea that he’s gorgeous and everyone wants to be on him. Innocent Louis. Protect him.

pssssst we know, Louis, and that makes u even more attractive.

#too hot for his own good#my songs know what you did in the dark

at first I was laughing at that tag and then I had to read i love every time he hits smtg or knocks smtg over bc hes so frustrated that he cant attack whoever actually is pushing him over the edge#bc he is a gentleman deep down#and always will be

AND THEN I HAD TO KEEP LAUGHING TO KEEP MYSELF FROM CRYING. 

Think of how strong Louis must be though…he doesn’t even ask or question the others, but you know that he sees and senses: he never tests his strengths, his possible powers that he’s not only gained through his age but by the fact that he was changed and has since shared blood with Lestat who has drank of the most powerful undead. He probably has abilities to match Armand or even more by this point. And he doesn’t.

He at once says that he doesn’t think he has a touch of humanity in him anymore, but his actions lead towards the belief that he clings to whatever humanness is left in him.

And out of the vampires, despite the fact he is indiscriminate in his killings, he seems the most gentle, or at least the most obviously opposed to hurting things himself outside of the need to hunt: think about his choice of weapon—fire.

Fire burns on its own, Louis has to light the match, but the violence is done by the fire, not by himself.

remarried:

i told my sister the way i draw lestat’s nose looks kinda like lana del rey’s and

like seriously AU where everything is the same but Lestat became a singer in 2011 with sadcore indie pop instead of 80s rock and all the vampires were bitching about him waking up Akasha with his “weepy hipster crap”

“this is my body/this is my blood” LESTAT U CANS NOT JUST USE BIBLE TEXT AS LYRICS. It’s copyright infringement, surely.

A less than thorough summary of the Tale of the Body Thief

“I was a sad,lonely kid when I found the VC. I found beautiful characters that were sad & lonely too; who felt wrong about who they were but were learning to live & love anyway. I saw myself in them & as I grew to love them, I grew to love myself too.” 

There are wonderful things in these characters and stories, I’ve definitely found more than one quote especially useful in my formative years. What are some of your favorite quotes/concepts? I’ve always loved this one:

“But you love books, then,” Aunt Queen was saying. I had to listen.
“Oh, yes,” Lestat said. “Sometimes they’re the only thing that keeps me alive.”
“What a thing to say at your age,” she laughed.

“No, but one can feel desperate at any age, don’t you think? The young are eternally desperate,” he said frankly. “And books, they offer one hope – that a whole universe might open up from between the covers, and falling into that new universe, one is saved.” – Blackwood Farm

One Song: Just ONE? Johnny Cash’s cover of Hurt is sometimes too much for me, but it remains an absolute favorite. ‘What have I become, my sweetest friend?/Everyone I know goes away in the end…’

Two Movies: (I’ll skip the easy answer here, you know which movie I mean, and choose instead) American Beauty, and American Psycho. An appropriate pairing. 

Three TV shows: SO many to choose from, I’ll go with the timeless classics: The Munsters, the Addams Family, Get Smart. These are classics, and I only regret I missed the era that they were made. Those first two have better family dynamics than many of the more recent TV series. Get Smart had enough technology (a shoe-phone before cellphones!), charm, and fashion to keep me riveted. 

Four People: I am a people-person so this is intensely difficult. I’ll choose one rockstar: David Bowie, one lover: Louis (mon coeur), the intrepid journalist who helped reunite me w/ mon coeur, Daniel Molloy, and I should pick a chick, shouldn’t I? So… my Mommie Dearest, Gabrielle.  

Five foods: Well. I am a picky eater but I guess: Drug dealers, pedophiles, serial killers, human traffickers, and jaywalkers (ok, not really that last one *smirks*)

Six people to tag: antoineandthepiano, devilsfool, nodominion, iam-yourqueen, redhairedtwin, damnitarmand, and anyone else who wants to share, mes amis.
