it hurts my soul that Lestat deeply loves with every ounce of his soul and he can’t have it returned by any companion he’s ever known
i’m aware of his plights, flaws and inexcusable actions but even still as a third party you’re invited into his inner turmoil and his loneliness crushes my entire being.

Lestat here. The first question I want to answer today comes from Garrick Woolley: “Lestat, what was the greatest thing about being born to darkness when Magnus worked the Dark Trick?” — The greatest single thing about receiving the Dark Gift was the sense of power, the immediate awareness of heightened senses and greatly heightened strength. And young men are almost always seduced by power. The sense of being more powerful than humans, of being able to overcome any human adversary — well, that was dizzying. And later on, when I did pass into a human body at the behest of the Body Thief, that was what I immediately missed: the power. It takes years, maybe centuries to grasp other aspects of the Dark Gift, but the sense of greatly enhanced power is immediate. And thanks, Garrick, for the question. The second question I’ll address today is from Elizabeth Evelyn Pedro: “Lestat. I have fought long and hard to think of the right question to ask you. Then it came to me, asking a question to you is like asking god why he (or she) does what he does. There is no right question. There isn’t one I can think of that would not all ready have been asked. But I did finally think of something. Do you have a question? Any thing you want to ask us your followers? I’m quite sure you will get a honest answer.” Thank you, Elizabeth, and there is something I would like to ask of you and other readers: what is the one thing you truly loathe and despise about me? I’d be very curious to hear your answer. I’d also like to know how it is that you can overlook or forgive this thing, whatever it is, that you so despise in me. Of course I imagine some of you can’t forgive me for the traits you despise, and I’d love to hear your thoughts on that too.
You guys that second question!?!
what is the one thing you truly loathe and despise about me? … how it is that you can overlook or forgive this thing, whatever it is, that you so despise in me.
Italian, Dream
When he was very small, too small to be more than a warm bundle in her arms, she had begun to whisper to him in Italian. With this child she had refused to have a wet nurse—this was the first and the only to sleep and suckle sweetly at her breast, his little milky mouth grasping at her, his hands caressing her absently, patting her gently before his eyes closed into a world of soft infant dreams. And so it was that she held him to her, softly murmuring the language of her thoughts to his small pink ears, creating within him a keeping place for her memories and her precious lost Naples.
When he grew older, too old to be held or petted, she could not help but wonder what, if anything, he had retained of her lyrical secrets. Occasionally she’d catch a slipped word in another language from his child-speak, his syntax already questionable at an early age. He seemed confused sometimes, not sure if there was a difference between sognare and rêver, mixing his tongues into an amalgamation which only she seemed to comprehend.
Already she knew: they would never understand him, no matter how good his French.
My Scholar, My Victim, My Love
There is a peculiar irony that the healthiest and brightest relationship I have ever had has been wrought from quite possibly my most despicable act of depravity to date. I do not dwell much on it- possibly out of some sort of suppressed shame, but most likely because I simply do not see the point. Of course, I am thankful and quite frankly astounded things turned out as well they did, as I fully expected David to hate me from now to eternity- whenever that may be for him.
What surprises me even more is how willing I was to grant David his autonomy. And how easy it was. Almost immediately after our short-lived holiday to Rio de Janeiro, we had parted ways. It had not been sad at all. We did not leave each other on bad terms, quite the opposite it fact. Instead, we left with a profound understanding of one another and a camaraderie I confess to have never known. Even among my brothers in the Auvergne I had not felt such kinship. Especially not among my brothers. And had it ever been so simple with the others? Absolutely not.
Nicolas had been a mistake, I am willing to admit it now after so many years, hailed into the blood by his maker’s blindness and foolhardy sense of justice. Despite the love between us there will forever be a rift between myself and Gabrielle that will never fully satisfy and will always drive us away from one another. And I had all but strangled Louis and Claudia in my fear and desperation for love. But David- my scholar, my victim, my love- saw me and accepted me. Knew me for the monster I was and still loved me. Even when my betrayal sucked him down to the pits of darkness, David’s devotion outweighed his anger. I should be ashamed of myself, but I am not. I would do it to him one thousand times over.

#MONSIEURLEROCKSTAR #HHAHA REMEMBER HOW IT WAS IN FRONT OF EVERYONE???????????? #)such delish *u* altho Lestat was pretty much comatose… and it did end in Armand getting…Ohh yes I do hope for more A/L stuff in PL since that last we saw if them two together was heartbreakingly sweet and tbh I wanna see more of how their relationship has built. You know i was talking withover the phone a week ago about how Armand, having never been properly taught by Marius or the Children of Darkness how to approach the scene in Palais Royale, really had no clue Lestat would reject his gesture of ‘vampire romance’ —for lack of a better word. That and Lestat himself had NO clue how that kind of thing happened because he still was confused about how to vampire and like—that whole scene would have gone entirely different I think if they had communicated more (also if Armand stopped with that glamouring). But ye…I could ramble about the palais royale scene bc it is just—another part of tvl that really set up and defined Lestat and Armand’s relationship….)
ABSOLUTELY AGREED. The first time I read that scene I was all “Ooooh Armand you lil monster! Beating earned.” But yeah, after all the subsequent VC information, I see that scene very differently now, more like: “Lestat you dumbass, he wasn’t attacking, that was leurve/making-out vampire style omg”
Well it may have been some of both but still.

#MONSIEURLEROCKSTAR #HHAHA REMEMBER HOW IT WAS IN FRONT OF EVERYONE???????????? #)such delish *u* altho Lestat was pretty much comatose… and it did end in Armand getting smacked hard enough to send him flying across the room, i think. but hey, it was smtg ❤;D True but yeah—must of meant something if Armand was the only even allowed to bite him, much less be near him!)

I know, right?! Armand just wanna be loved ;A; Armand and Lestat will always have a love/hate thing going on but they definitely care about eachother… it’s obvious in that unconscious!Lestat did let Armand bite him when he wouldn’t let him when awake.
Moar Lestat/Armand action in PL, I hope.
(yes it definitely was a compliment) that’s okay i literally have no photoshop skills and it was really fucking funny and if somebody complains about quality or something they can do their own shit :)
To be fair, Lestat is actually full of WIN
what the person says : what you plan to do is horrible and will bring about nothing but pain and destruction
what lestat hears: you should totally just go for it
Forgive me for being the more optimistic one.
… sometimes what Lestat ends up doing is actually marvelous and brings about joy and love (along with the pain and destruction).
#we make fun of u bc we love u, bb ♥
