“Now it’s time to celebrate the truely “King of the VC-Illustrations” garama!
None got the point right in drawings as he does – mixed up with great humour, a fabolous line art with its speaking characterizations just in the drewn lines and coloring. Surely, he should be supported for a new comic /grafic novel adaption and I would buy ever single on. Never I will quit follow this greatness of this lovely human he also is.”

Oh no, I’m in tears here, this is too sweet and kind and I’m no worthy and holy poop, I sure didn’t expect anything like this to be found from my tag

I love the VC fans, they’re so, so creative and open-minded people and I’ve been happy to read you guys’ RPs and view the new fanarts, gladly there have appeared more of it these past years…!

I was just about to go sleep, but then sketched these and didn’t dare to upload them but HERE YOU GO, I WILL DO THIS NOW, INSPIRED BY THIS pOST (and the cat gif i-want-my-IWTV reblogged)

I love garama

it got better!

Honestly, the song Edge of Seventeen by Stevie Nicks to me as a song represents the fabulousness of Lestat. I don’t know, whenever I hear that song I just feel like all of his antics go with that song’s level of energy. Lestat is fierce and even though he’s a Brat Prince he’s still fabulous. I also think that song has a bit of sass in it which I always thought Lestat had in spades.

I have to agree with you on that. It’s a very ballsy anthem, a very, “I may not know everything about this world, but when I get knocked down, hell if I’m gonna let it keep me down!”

There’s a mention of a guy in it, and it’s easy to see this as a young and fragile Lestat:

He was no more
(He was no more)
Than a baby then
Well, he seemed broken hearted
Somethin’ within him
But the moment
That I first laid
Eyes on him
All alone on the edge of seventeen

He’s only ever wanted to be loved, if you look at all the instances of him Doing the Thing, it was in pursuit of that goal. Religion taught him that to be loved, you must be Good. The idea is that Goodness makes one worthy of love, even when his religious beliefs have waned. The trouble is that his formative years were a confusing series of neglect and abuse (with little love from Gabrielle), the first real love he ever really shared was probably with Nicolas. And that ended pretty badly ;A;

So he still struggles with how to love (and not merely possess), and be loved (allow people to love him).
