Lestat de Lioncourt frequently reminds the reader of his attraction to women in high-heels, particularly the distinct sound they make when walking because as similar to all vampires he has a preference for the fashions of his mortal years, and since he is a dramatic bisexual, he is most notably reminded of times when high-heels were customary fashion for men. In this essay I will,
Where’s the rest OP??
Vc fandom around red wine: you can pretend it’s blood pretending to be wine
Head Canons about Coven Game Night
Scrabble has been banned after too many heated arguments
Only one game of Monopoly has been played. It’s still continuing after decades
Gabrielle is undefeated at Risk
Back when the Nintendo Wii came out they definitely had remotes fly out of their hands into each other and the tv
They replace all the faces in “Guess Who” with members of the coven
The box for Jenga has “ABSOLUTELY NO USE OF TELEKINESIS TO KEEP UP TOWER” written on it. Under this someone scrawled “no power on the tower”
I was tagged for VC fandom selfies (thanks @xlilvamp and @just-another-vcblog
💖💖💖) and was super flattered! Selfies are haaard bc IDK ~Beauty Standards~ and all, so you get a dump of them and probably no more for a long long time:
(1) overly brightened version of me wearing my hoodie up a la Children of Satan style,
(2) bathroom selfie bc y’know (btw I made that necklace I’m wearing in top right),
(3) a TINY smile, bc St. Patrick’s cathedral is in the bg and classing things up,
(4) blue-filtered nonsense in front of another church to look like a frame from an indie movie about whether or not the Manic Pixie Dream girl will accept Loser Dude and the church message is encouraging a yes? IDK.
(5) Felt like posing with this model showing her my hand modeling game is better than hers so there,
(6) Got a pic with Gaspard Ulliel and NO the fact that he’s 5 times bigger than me won’t be a problem for us we are in LOVE.
(7) #45 in fact is a neighbor of mine, not next door thank goodness, but a walkable number of avenue blocks away OH WELL.
Bonus:
Yes that is 100% real plastic diamond I’m wearing.

Lestat by @good-evening-kiss, this is a cropped version of the fanart I commissioned, will post the larger image later! I love it, and g.e.k. was lovely to work with, highly recommend ❤
@just-another-vcblog‘s tags: #last night i had a dream involving this#it was projected onto the ice during a hockey game#and the anouncers were saying#BEHOLD#and i kept trying to get a picture to prove it#but of course i could not#art#lestat de lioncourt#vampire chronicles
I’M? LIKE? I think shoving your commissioned fanart avatar into someone’s dreams is a level of psychological presence Lestat would be hella pleased about.
SO FOR YOU I’ll post the full image so you can see what was projected onto the ice during your dream hockey game:
^@good-evening-kiss is a gift to our fandom. I asked for this fanart to be based on this ‘shop I did ❤
Wow! One year ago today I created this blog, and it has been a lot of fun. As a sort of anniversary gift to myself I present a timeline of the events within the first three books. I hope to add to it as I reread the rest of the series, but it could be a year or two before I finish. I hope this can help all those in the fandom, and I hope this is an improvement over what is found in The Vampire Companion.
Note: IwtV may not be quite as complete and in depth as the other two since I started taking notes on it first about two years ago when I was not as dedicated.
On the whole pronunciation of Lestat (LestAHt vs Lesaught) my theory is that it’s both. If we accept Lestat’s story from Blackwood Farm that his parents made up his name from the first letters of his brothers’ names, then maybe they never came up with an exact way to pronounce it. Maybe Gabrielle always called him by one, while his father would use the other. This has led to Lestat changing up they way he introduces himself for 250 years.
//or maybe they just called him “you” since their relationship wasn’t too… affective
^Ya, I like all this. I don’t LOVE Blackwood Farm but that explanation is as good as any. I’m sure his family called him all kinds of bad stuff including purposely
making
his name sound bad, and yes, maybe they never came up with a specific way to pronounce it. I think part of his self-deprecation comes from getting so little affection in his formative years, and not even having a consistently pronounced name is pretty mean ;A;
Anyone can pronounce his name however they want, I think he would be pretty chill about that. Especially considering that people have native accents that affect their pronunciation of words anyway, given how much international travel/business/etc. he does, I don’t think he’d be making an issue with every single person he encounters about the pronunciation of his name.
AR had intended to write his name as “Lestan” after her husband “Stan” + the French word for “the” which is “Le” when preceding masculine words. She’s said that “Lestat” was a typo that she ended up liking.
ANYWAY, since “Stan” is pronounced like “stand” and not “ton” my preference is to go with the ‘a’ of Lestat as like “stand” or “cat.” I kinda feel like AR’s whole obsession with pronouncing it like “Les-TOT” is another way she divides the “real fans” from the rest of the fans; if you don’t pronounce it her preferred way then you’re not really talking about HER character. But that’s just a theory.
I headcanon that Lestat likes nicknames based on his name, especially “’Stat,” a medical term: “Stat, used as a directive to medical personnel during in an emergency situation, is from the Latin word statim, which means “instantly” or “immediately.”” [X]
I always figured when Anne says “lesTOT” she’s just trying to write/say it in a way that – based on American English vowel pronunciations – approximates European [a], which is much closer to what English has in e.g. “father”, and kinda close to what American English has in “tot”, since that’s the sound it would have been in French. A French person would not say [lestæt] like “cat”.
Personally I like the more French/European pronunciation over the American [lestæt], because I’m not an English speaker, so I’m used to European pronunciation. And I’m not sure he would have Anglified his first name that much. But in the end it just comes down to how much you think he’s “gone native” tbh. But ya after 200 years in the US I doubt he minds people pronouncing his name the English way.

And so he ran after me all the way back to the hotel, all the way across the rooftops, where I hoped to lose him, until I leaped in the window of the parlor and turned in rage and slammed the window shut. He hit it, arms outstretched, like a bird who seeks to fly through glass, and shook the frame.
Louis de Pointe du Lac describing my absolute favourite moment in the entire series that needs to be talked about more. (via just-another-vcblog)
What book is this from, i need to know , what did i miss (via vampatiddy)
^That’s from Interview ;D
I’m sure we are all familiar with the scene where Lestat is speaking with Claudia and quips “I hope it’s a beautiful woman, with endowments you’ll never possess.” The line is often seen as Lestat being an absolute dick, and don’t get me wrong, he totally is here, but I think it also shows his fatherly side.
Maybe it’s just a case of my family being terrible (which I don’t think they are, usually at least), but things like that were said to me a lot growing up. That is, the “don’t grow up” part, not the “I have a murder victim in the next room” part. What I mean is that I think of this scene more in the sense of parents sensing their children are growing up, but they want to hold on to the illusion that the child is still young and in need of guidance and is completely reliant.
I think the line is really just one of Lestat’s many messed up ways of trying to say “I love you. Please don’t leave me.”
