in response to your personality and birthday posts, knowing the characteristics of ENTJs, Lestat pretty much fits the bill. (Natural leader, charismatic, energetic, confident, strong willed, stubborn, arrogant, impatient, domininant, cold/ruthless…) Lestat and Armand both fit as scorpios (intuitive, passionate, driven, jealous, manipulative, sexual, secretive, resentful, leaders) and Louis (probably) fits as a libra (patient, detached, romantic, gentle, diplomatic, tactful, smart, changeable).

Wow, thanks for this! Lestat seems to be pretty in line with the traits associated with ENTJs you’ve listed there. Louis seems very much like a libra as you’ve described it, too.

It makes some sense if Armand is ENTJ too, I think some of his friction w/ Lestat is bc they are more alike than they might like to admit. 

Any advice for the lonely people of the world today Lestat..?

♛Pardon the delay in reply, anonyme. I received this on Valentine’s Day but I was very busy with… romantic activities. Not to brag about it, I’ve spent many Valentine’s nights alone, and I’m… taken aback and more touched now for the nights I’m fortunate enough to spend with a loved one, whether it’s Valentine’s or any night of the week. There’s nothing all that inherently magical about holidays, only that we make them special by honoring them together.

There are times when yes, the loneliness overtakes me. I do feel emptiness at times. Sometimes solitude is needed, just to get to know myself once again, so that I can return to my loved ones. I can’t advise you about your own loneliness because I feel that it has healing properties. And there are times when I need to be quarantined, when it’s better for everyone if we’re not together.

But I don’t let loneliness destroy me. I don’t let it take over. I can’t. I’m not built that way. 

I never give up. I never despair for long. I can’t. I’m always spinning straw into gold. And this is why I survive, more than anything. I am in my unfolding stories what the world calls a comic character, rather than a tragic character, because I am never permanently undone by anything, never finished or ruined, never permanently destroyed, no matter how great are my own flaws. I always come back. Always. [X, from Fan Questions for Lestat]

Along the lines of the real life Marius, yesterday I started talking to this guy and what’s his name? Amadeo. AMADEO. He probably thinks I’m crazy now because when he told me his name I freaaaaked out. He may not look like Armand, but if we don’t become friends I’ll be very sad lol.

A Real Life Amadeo, nice! I hope he had a cool last name to go with it, and not something too normal, like, idk… Malloy.

@ the Armand RPers or anyone, can someone plz send me Armand’s signature in his handwriting with 

“Molloy” (or “Malloy”) as his last name? I suddenly have a need. I feel like it would be smtg like this…

Could we do a maker’s day event and submit gifts to this blog?

Yes, I think maker’s day gifts would be gr9, we get a lot of great fanworks for the @vcsecretgifts exchanges ❤ Having gifts collected on that page is really good bc it’s just for that, one easy archive rather than have things mixed into my stuff. Ppl are always welcome to submit things to me as gifts to the fandom or specific ppl!

– or even characters! Send a gift to my Lestat or another RPer’s muse! ♥u♥

I had recently sent around a post asking if ppl were interested in a Spring exchange, and we got some good response on it publicly and privately, so I think we will proceed with it ^_____^

Maker’s Day should fall between Mother’s and Father’s Day, which would be June 1, but I’m away on a trip (JAPAN!) then, so it would be better if I was here to comoderate it, so next year, maybe June 1, but this year, I’m thinking April 1 or May 1. Would that work for ppl?

hei!
I love your blog so much!
And just felt like you might appreciate this.
First day I met him I was like “ wow. Marius De Romanus is real”
…. His name is Marius .. I shit you not. 
(and he has now been my boyfriend for 6 years) 


OMG that’s so sweet of you! I do appreciate it. A real living Marius! WITH THE BLOND HAIR. And he’s your boyfriend! Awwww, such feels. <333

In the pic he’s in the snow, it’s like he went back to revisit the rubble of his compound that Akasha wrecked ;A;

And this is especially adorable on Valentine’s Day, whether you celebrate it or not, that you have someone you love to share it with (and nom on) is very special.

Hello, it’s me again. Have u ever heard of Eneagram of personality? I think Lestat is Enthusiast and Louis is Individualist. Don’t u think so? What about other vampires? What kind of personalities they have, in ur opinion?

Ummm, I’ve never heard of Enneagram of personality before! I went on Wiki for answers, and I’m still not really clear on it… but anyone is welcome to comment/reblog this post with their ideas re: the character’s alignment on it.

^Gluttony (in the Enthusiast category) would definitely be a vice for Lestat, tho.

I feel like ppl who see Louis as predominantly Melancholy (and ”Fantasizing”, on the chart), well… he is melancholy at the beginning of IWTV, and he’s always been more of an introvert than Lestat, but his revenge on the TdV, and then his rather icy breakup w/ Armand,

…and as canon progressed, I guess I see his strength and dignity such that I don’t see him as all that melancholy anymore. If anything, I see him as more of a Peacemaker, bc that is what he did for 65 years in NOLA. He wanted peace of mind so badly. And I think, over time, he found it in pursuing intrinsic goals and not looking to anyone else to validate his existence. 

Have you seen NBC’s Hannibal? If not, you totally should. I ship hannigram so hard. They coined “murder husbands” too.

(2/2) Also, Lestat would love it so much. He loves over the top extravagant aesthetic things and would definitely approve/appreciate of the beautiful cooking on the show.


I actually don’t watch it enough to say I’m a real Fannibal but I’ve seen some. I loved the Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal Rising, and Red Dragon. 

Oh yes, Will/Hannibal are definitely murder husbands, too… Lestat and Hannibal could make a great Murder Brothers team! Um, there’s actually a crossover fic on AO3…  Interview with a Cannibal or Appointment with a Vampire

Lestat and Hannibal are both fashionistas, Hannibal favoring a more structured look with some flash, Lestat more flash with some structure… Lestat would definitely be envious of the elaborate meals Hannibal prepares. And I think Lestat and Hannibal would share a similar sense of humor, poor Will and Louis would just sit there rolling their eyes.

But oh yeah, Lestat would probably be a big fannibal ❤
