I’m sorry if I sound uninformed or ignorant, but I am confused about some of the characters sexualities. I understand that once they become vampires that sort of thing doesn’t matter, but as humans I wonder…Lestat was stated to be bisexual, was he really? He seemed to have a preference for men and I cant recall there being a relationship significant or genuine enough to really say he was truly attracted to women. What was Louis’ sexuality as a human, I’ve only seen him interested in men too?

It’s fine to ask! It depends on how much (and which) canon and fanfic you have read, and how much you’ve read between the lines.

#Let’s talk about sex

I’d say they both defied definitions, but the short answer would be, mortal!Lestat loves who he loves regardless of their physical container, and mortal!Louis struggled with bisexual/homosexual desires.

Spoilers ahead:


Mortal!Lestat: 

I don’t want to try to assign a label like “bisexual” or “pansexual” bc there’s so many labels for orientation now and the definitions are confusing no matter how many definitions I read or how many times ppl try to explain the thing to me 😛

I’d say mortal!Lestat is romantically drawn to someone for their soul first and their physical accessories second. He’s had relationships with men and women, been physically attracted to both.

  • He had a relationship with Nicolas, for sure. They kissed, they slept together, it was all heavily implied. I doubt vampirebaby!Lestat would have been stalking mortal!Nicolas if they had only been Super Best Friends 5ever.
  • Lestat didn’t talk about long-term female relationships as a mortal, but that he bedded the village girls (I can’t find a reference but I’m pretty sure he mentions it).
  • And he bedded one of the actresses in the troupe he tried to run away from home with: “That night, the actress who played my inamorata gave me her own very special and intimate accolades. I went to sleep in her arms…”
  • He might have had a side fling with the female actresses in the Paris theatre, Renaud’s: “Send flowers for Jeannette and Luchina, the girls I had fought with the most and most loved,”
  • In ToBT, mortal!Lestat beds a woman (non-con), and has a short but intense relationship with another woman, and returns to her to prove he was telling the truth about himself. She kicks his sorry butt out the door. 
  • Also in ToBT, Lestat wages a campaign of seduction on David Talbot, who does not give in, despite a valiant effort on Lestat’s part!
  • in later canon, Lestat is powerfully drawn to Dr. Rowan Mayfair and promises he’ll give her the Dark Gift. 

Mortal!Louis 

He really doesn’t talk much about his pre-vampiring life. Claudia asks him about sex and he tells her:

“It was something hurried, and … it was seldom savored … something acute that was quickly lost. I think that it was the pale shadow of killing.”

Maybe he didn’t want to hurt her feelings, since he knew she could never experience it herself. Maybe he really felt that way.

Personally, I headcanon that Louis might have had a little experience in being with men as a mortal, but Lestat’s the one who really pushed him over the edge. Alot of vampirebaby!Louis’ issues with Lestat could have partly been bc Louis was brought up in a religious frame of mind that meant homosexuality was sinful, so whenever he felt physical and emotional desire for Lestat, he hit himself with a wave of self-hatred 😛

Out of all the VC vampires (well the usual like Armand, Marius, Lestat, and Louis) who is the best kisser and what makes them the best?

Omg this is entirely an unfair question! It all depends on your idea of a good kisser, and the situation involved in the kissing ♥u♥

Is it a kiss goodbye forever? Is it a kiss hello upon waking up together? Is it a kiss of reunion after some 100 yrs apart?

Here’s some kisses for ya 
(ノ´ヮ´)ノ*✧:・゚♥


While I can’t say which is best, here are some Signature kisses of the vampires:

Lestat

  • The Bloodkiss: he bites the tip of his tongue or lip and seals his lips to yours, so that you can taste him on your tongue. Thatsa spiceh meatball kiss!

Louis

  • The Butterfly: 

    With your faces less than a breath away, he bats his eyelashes against your cheek. That palpitation in your heart is no accident.

Armand

  • Talk dirty to me:  he whispers sweet nothings to your lips for as long as you both can stand it before you both smash your lips together in a passionate French kiss.

Marius

  • Hot and Cold: he’ll lick your lips warm, and then gently blow on them. The sudden cold blast makes for a sensual explosion. 

Daniel

  • Typewriter: Just before kissing, he’ll gently trace your top or lower lip with his tongue.  Surprisingly sensual. 

Gabrielle

  • The Surprise: A sharp stinging slap across your face. You probably deserved it, you imp.

Jesse

  • The Fish: Suck your cheeks in so that both of you look like fish and try to kiss each other before you burst out laughing. (okay I had to add this silly one in bc I think Jesse would attempt to be cute and silly, and I needed another chick on this list!)

Send me a number and I’ll write you a drabble about my muse’s past. 
3. (childhood) A harsh lesson is learned.

The slap came suddenly, without warning, flat across his cheeks. He felt the blood rush to his face before the stinging pain, which shot through his skin, heightened by the humiliation which accompanied it. 

“Never again, do you hear?”

Though many years down the line this action would become as regular as saying “Good morning,” this time it was fresh; shocking and frightening. 

The tears came too fast, adding to his embarrassment, as the hiccuped assent slipped past his lips.

It had been innocent enough: he’d been playing in a dirt in the patches of grass outside the chateau, pushing rocks about with sticks, when another boy had come up over the hill and approached him. 

They began to play together without much preamble, as children were wont to do, the other boy taking up a stick as well and the two of them creating a game out of the sticks and rocks. The boy was nice: shaggy, light brown hair, freckles, not well dressed but then, neither was Lestat. They laughed as they played, arguing amicably as they sat, side by side, in the dirt. 

It was Lestat who grasped the other boy’s hand, and the boy held his back as they continued to babble back and forth, toes dusty in the dirt, shoulders pressed close, each child enjoying the other’s company. 

But it was the other boy who turned his head and pressed his lips to Lestat’s, pulling back almost as suddenly as he’d done it. 

Lestat had paused, as bemused as a child might be capable of, before kissing the other boy back. 

The boy smiled as Lestat pulled away. “It’s what the grown-ups do, you know. When they want to make babies.” 

Lestat laughed sweetly. “Do you want to make babies?” 

“My sister says it feels good, to kiss boys. To make babies.” 

Lestat had nodded, sagely. It did feel good, the kissing. “Then we should do it again, don’t you think?” 

And they did. 

But too soon, Lestat heard a cry from behind him, and was swept up into the arms of his nurse. He was far too big to be held, of course, but she was in a fury, dragging him up towards the chateau as she cursed and chastised, quickly swatting at the other boy until he ran away.

Inside, presented to his father, the slap was administered. He was called a disappointment. He was sent to his room without supper. 

It was then he understood: kisses may feel good, but that didn’t make them right.

“I’m Lestat,” I said in a low voice. “Your Lestat. I’m the same Lestat you’ve always known, and no matter how I’m changed, I’m still that same being.”

“I know,” he said warmly. 

I kissed him. I pressed my lips to his and I held this kiss for a long silent moment. And then I gave in to a silent wave of feeling, and I took him in my arms. I held him tight against me. I felt his unmistakable silken skin, his soft shining black hair. I heard the blood throbbing in him, and time dissolved, and it seemed I was in some old and secret place, some warm tropical grotto we’d once shared, ours alone in some way, with the scent of sweet olive blossoms and the whisper of moist breeze. “I love you,” I whispered.

In a low intimate voice, he answered: “My heart is yours.” (Lestat and Louis in Prince Lestat, by

Anne Rice)

(to muse) Story of your first kiss?

“Ah, it was one of the most erotic, most savoring moments I had ever experienced. It was a brisk moment, caught in the smooth heat of the night. He was laying there, my beloved Nicolas. His long, beautiful hair was spread across the pillow, and he glowed there with an ethereal presence.

I placed myself down next to him and cupped his face; he shied away at first, but I calmed him nevertheless. I softly claimed his lips with mine, and we danced into a night of superb passion. The rest they say, is history.”
