hey I don’t know how to break this to you or anne rice but Lestat -I came out of a hole in the ground after hundreds of years of sleeping just to live a Rockstar aesthetic- de Lioncourt absolutely would have an instagram and I don’t know why we’re not talking about that
Oh he totally would! He’d be posting constantly, you know how big of an attention whore he is.
I’m highkey hoping that the VC TV series somehow works in the social media, creating a FB, Twitter, IG, etc. for the character(s!) and teasing us leading up to the premiere and then have this stuff keep going through the production, have Lestat commenting on the episodes as they come out even ;D
Side note: I also want them to cast a Lestat who can sing and send him on an actual tour before the series starts so we can have actual Lestat concerts and get actual Lestat concert merch PLEASE!!!!
I’ve seen a few fan-made instas for him and a few of the other characters on here… @teambratprince did one, I’ll reblog it momentarily. I can’t remember where I saw the others.
Louis: I’m leaving you
Lestat: you can’t I’m pregnant
I feel this also works like
Louis: I’m leaving you
Lestat: You can’t, you’re pregnant
Louis: I’m what now
Louis: I’m leaving you
Lestat: you can’t I’m pregnant
Lyla Hay Owen, actress and bedrock of local theater, dies at 84
^It’s our Widow St. Clair! ;A;
“She had an incredible talent, a sort of compulsive creativity,” said Jim O’Quinn, a fellow performer and frequent collaborator. “She was an artist in her heart and soul, and she lived the life of an artist. She wanted to transform life experiences into art.”
…She also appeared in movies such as “Hard Times,” “Everybody’s All-American” and “Interview With the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles,” in which Tom Cruise broke her neck – in character, as Lestat, the vampire.
“He was very careful and concerned not only about how he would break my neck, but how it would read on camera,” Ms. Owen said in a Times-Picayune interview. “He is the consummate professional film actor.”
This is pretty sad… also a reminder that even the vampires in the movie are mortal, too ;A;

But you must have all the things you never had of life and make of immortality a junk shop in which both of us become grotesque.

I’m sorry if you thought I just was goading you or wanting you to do the heavy lifting for me when it came to thinking. That wasn’t my intention. I’m just fairly new and overwhelmed to this fandom and saw your blog as something interesting and relatable, non-shaming and knowledgeable. I apologize for being a bother, that wasn’t the intent. I have my own opinions, have been searching for all kinds of information and opinions. I apologize again, thank you deeply for your answer.
Hi Anon, thank u for coming back! You’re welcome for that answer (so good to know you appreciated it), but gosh, I’m so sorry for misreading your intentions
*hugs*
It’s so easy to misread unintended emotions into text, especially when it’s such a short note. I apologize if my answer came off as crushing to you specifically.
I’ve seen so much Discourse from anti-shippers lately that I may be a little predisposed to seeing it in innocent asks, too. Engaging with the question itself could invite Discourse, so my response was more about supporting shippers as a general rule.
I absolutely never intend to shame other fans, I hope that much came through in my response and in my other posts. I do want my blog to be seen as something interesting and relatable, non-shaming and knowledgeable, but I’m absolutely not the authority on VC. Even the “Marges” of the fandom have every right to do what they do, I just choose not to engage with them. I wanted to make a point of identifying them for others, like you, so that you know that their way is not the only way, and they are not the authority on VC, either.
Your being fairly new and overwhelmed to this fandom, let me tell you, it’s a series about murderers, lovers, wacky shit, silliness, some religious stuff mixed in heavily, re-invention of the vampire origin story, etc. It’s not for the faint of heart but if you can manage not to take it too
seriously
you’ll probably have a better time. Please don’t let this one little interaction deter you from reading the books and/or making friends here, bc I’ve met some of my best friends through VC, honed my own writing, shared headcanons, etc., and I would wish all the good aspects of fandom on every new fan ❤
P.S. To answer your previous question a little more gently, Marius/Armand appeals to some fans bc of the taboo nature of it. It disgusts some fans bc of that, too. There’s no right or wrong. My opinion is that I like exploring scary things in fiction even if they’re dressed up to look good, so I would say it’s a perfectly decent ship to ship, even if Anne Rice holds it out as an ideal relationship.
Again, I’m not well-educated on the horror/goth lit aspect so I can’t fully address that, but I would think that Anne Rice had read some of those, and was inspired by them, that she felt her writing (especially in IWTV) was a natural update and/or extension of those characters/tropes/stories.
Marius himself is a character who is probably largely based on the benefactor characters in Dickens that Anne Rice has always loved. She mixed that in with some Daddy kink, some *healing dick* trope, and overall Father-knows-best sort of attitude, and that’s basically Marius. Is he a pedophile? That’s for the reader to decide. Again, I don’t want to make that distinction for you. I’m not interested in getting into a debate about it with the “Marges” of fandom, and tbh, I would recommend that you don’t try them, either, especially being fairly new and overwhelmed as it is.
Have an open mind, read the text yourself. Try to enjoy what you can. It’s a buffet, you don’t need to like all of it 😉
