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).

That’s one of the details I did like about the QOTD movie; I don’t remember Lestat taking earphones/buds into his coffin in any of the later books, but he did in the film, and I can absolutely see him doing that, and forgetting them often.

Yep, agreed. Since you mentioned movie!QOTD, I was reminded of Time Warner Cable’s eloquent synopsis of it:

Riiiiight he unites with his counterpart, Akasha. RIGHT. That’s not what I’d call her.

Lindsay: Oh, God. Not that “I’m in love with my mother” dance thing. I’m so glad there wasn’t one of those for Daddys and Daughters.

Lucille: Of course they have father-daughter dances.

Lindsay: They do? He never took me?

Lucille: It was before we did your nose.

perladivenezia replied to your video: //Oh yeis! I mean I don’t believe he goes carving L+L inside a heart on trees, (that’s more a Lestat thing to do probably) but still, the overall feeling applies to Louis I think x3 any way I’m just happy you like it!

#Headcanon: Lestat had often carved L+L inside hearts on trees, and Louis would roll his eyes, he found it terribly cheesy. When Lestat was in a coma, tho, Louis checked those carvings and would recarve them, tears rolling down his cheeks.

I still like the head canon that all the inaccuracies in the first book that Louis should have known about was just him trying to piss Lestat off so much that he’d wake up.

Well it worked, didn’t it?!

“And when the night was empty and still, I heard the voices of Interview with the Vampire singing to me, as if they sang from the grave. I read the book over  and over. And then in a moment of contemptible anger, I shredded it to bits.”

“… As for the lies he told, the mistakes  he made, well, I forgive him his excess  of imagination, his bitterness, and his vanity, which was, after all, never very great… But little things like this don’t really matter. He told the tale as he believed it… And why should I bother to tell of the times he came to me in wretched anxiety, begging me never to leave him…” 

“Read between the lines.”

//I can’t believe I’m only now coming to the realization that Rose hates flower nicknames because of acid-man. He’s the one who calls her that, and though Lestat also calls her a ‘flower’, it rings differently for Rose.

“I take Holy Communion,” whispered Gardner as he kissed her, “my innocent one, my sweet and gentle one, my flower.”

ooc; I still can’t believe Rose dated a guy whose name was one letter away from being fucking Gardener.

How tall are you compared to Armand? Is it a benefit or a detriment?

vagabonddaniel-recordedarchives:

I’m not that much taller. I’m a couple inches shorter than Lestat. Maybe 5 inches taller than Armand, when he’s not wearing heeled shoes, and the man owns a lot of heeled shoes.

Pros: I can make short jokes. Cons: I get punched for making short jokes. 

That’s about it, really. 

+ If you could be mortal again for 24 hours what would you spend the time doing?

Mortal again?  I can barely fathom what such an experience might be like.  The answer does come easily enough to me despite that.

First, I would go to Rome and mingle with other mortals that gather around the Colosseum.  How enjoyable it would be to join one of the guided tours, listening to a charming guide talk so animatedly about the history of the structure.  And I would thrill to stand within it, feeling the sunshine upon me from all sides – Prometheus’ blessing for just one more day!  I might get my photograph taken with the men that dress up as Roman gladiators and soldiers.  Wouldn’t that be funny?  To be standing there in the shadow of Vespasian’s vision with men of this age, the Roman and the would-be Romans?

After that I would find a rooftop upon which a hastened studio might be put together.  Then I’d paint and paint and paint by the light of the sun, in such a fervor, until the setting sun stole too much illumination for me to continue.  I fear such an event might leave me obsessed for such a chance.  Why, I might very well rest my body there upon the ground near those canvases until the sun had risen again, if just to take full advantage.  I don’t think it’s avoidable.  To see those colors by the light of day again, to memorize them anew rather than trust to distant memory, I couldn’t help myself.

I’d probably act as a glutton too.  Feasting upon the treats of chocolate, coffee, the Italian foods that are as much as a visual feast as they are a physical one.  And wine.  Plenty of wine.  Or perhaps I ought to avoid it.  I suspect if I got my hands upon wine I’d get too intoxicated in the morning to get anything done and the opportunity would be wasted by a drunken Marius.

In the book (interview with the vampire) I know that Louis had a brother named Paul but didn’t he also have a sister? And in the book does he ever mention his mother or father? I can’t recall.

Yes, he had a brother Paul…

image

[Young Man Sketching. William Bruce Ellis Ranken]

  • Louis’ brother: “He had the smoothest skin and the largest blue eyes. He was robust, not thin as I am now and was then” (IWTV) Not sure whether it’s canon or fanon but Paul was supposedly blond. He was 15 when he died, right after an argument in which Louis had laughed at him, had not believed him, and so, felt responsible for Paul’s death.

  • Louis’ sister: Unnamed (it’s fanon that her name is Henriette “Minette“ de Pointe du Lac), she played the harpsichord. After Paul died “My sister went to bed rather than face the funeral… People in society asked my sister offensive questions about the whole incident, and she became an hysteric. She wasn’t really an hysteric. She simply thought she ought to react that way, so she did…  I did come to know my sister, forbidding her the plantation for the city life which she so needed in order to know her own time of life and her own beauty and come to marry, not brood for our lost brother or my going away or become a nursemaid for our mother.”
  • Louis’ mother: Unnamed (it’s fanon that her name is

    Paulette de Pointe du Lac) Louis didn’t seem to have a great relationship with his mother. When Paul died, “my mother told everyone in the parish that something horrible had happened in my room which I would not reveal; and even the police questioned me, on the word of my own mother.” 

  • Louis’ father: Unnamed (it’s fanon that his name is

    Aurestile Jean Michel Pointe du Lac) At the beginning of IWTV, Louis is 25, his father is dead and Louis “was head of the family and I had to defend [Paul] constantly from my mother and sister.” Defend him from their trying to get him to go out and have fun; but Paul was committed to the Bible.
