Hiya! So I totally love your blog and just thought that I should get your Lestat’s blessing before I start rp-ing him lol So a quick question to mun and Lestat. I wanna rp Lestat and I have this FC for him that’s not Tom Cruise. It’s Kamijo from Versailles. Tbh, I really feel as though Kamijo is such a good modern FC for Lestat! As long as you ignore race and all that. I was wondering what your opinion on this might be?

Thank you so much! Mun and muse are very flattered ❤ You’ve made our day/night!

You don’t need it from him or me but Lestat absolutely blesses you in this pursuit! And so do I. He’s nudging me happily bc he adores Kamijo, and he wants you to GO FOR IT, and you don’t need to ignore race. Lestat is intrigued as to how he might be portrayed/perceived as a different race, but no pressure if you feel like that’s too much of a challenge. Lestat says to Do the Thing, however you choose to do it. Let me know when it’s ready to promote.

There’s a genderbent Lestat, in @queenofthesavagegarden, Lestel goes by they/them pronouns and will interact with other Lestat RPers. My Lestat loves watching Lestel.

[X] Kamijo is definitely a VC fan, an A+ cosplayer ^_____^

BTW you know who else adores Kamijo? @redversaillesrose​ and you should probably be friends with them *shoves you two together*

do you think that anne rice has heard about kamijo?

People have mentioned it her at least 3x on her page (1, 2, 3), and she hasn’t responded at all so… given her stance on things she doesn’t like (she ignores them) I would guess that she doesn’t like Kamijo 😛 otherwise she would have responded.

[X] Kamijo is a huge IWTV fan and an A+ cosplayer, tho! We can enjoy him ourselves without her blessing. ^_____^

If you haven’t already you should seriously check out this japanese singer kamijo…he has a song called louis but the look he channels is pure lestat (heart is really good too tbh) I recently found him and when I did I legit screamed.

Oh yes, I have heard of Kamijo! He is a huge VC fan.

@nocturneprince-blog​ informed us about a year ago that:

the Louis concept album is about the french revolution, according to kamijo’s interviews. it’s not about ITWV’s Louis. Idk the lyrics because I don’t speak japanese but the interviews def. have him saying it’s meant to be the monarch, not the vampire.

HOWEVER, Kamijo has said that he’s a huge fan of Lestat. IMO if you watch Versailles “Ascendead Master” PV you can really see the Anne Rice influence! Kamijo is to blame for my vampire chronicles obsession. XD

Very few of Kamijo’s lyrics are about sex (or if they are, they are subtle), but like, I’d say a good 50% of them, in both his solo work and with Versailles are about VAMPIRES. IMO I’d cast him as Lestat. I don’t even care that he can’t speak english.

^that last link has some Kamijo lyrics and this is very Lestat: “To the one who thirsts for the noble blood of royalty…”

Thank u both! Well it might not be about boning but:

“The melody that flows below the cool, white skin/

Even now, that body I cannot forget ever for a moment.”

WORKS FOR ME.
