Hello Lestat, I have been a vampire for around as long as you maybe longer, I was born in French inhabited America but returned to France to live up until the end of the revolution. What was/ is your opinion of the atrocities that took place?

//ooc; This has been sitting in my inbox for a month, I’m not a history buff and not into historical politics, and I did ask around, but it’s tough to answer. What would he remember about that? Vampires supposedly have perfect memories. What are his opinions? VC does not get very political.

“By day I almost forgot the vision of the inn, and the darkness. Unless, of course, … I happened upon a public execution in the place de Grave.

And I was always happening upon a public execution in the place de Grave.

I’d wander out of the square shuddering, almost moaning. I could become obsessed with it if not distracted.” – The Vampire Lestat (p.1, ch.7)

He wasn’t a vampire at that point, but clearly those public executions had an impact on him bc he brings it up later as a vampire. Even though he causes death often, death as spectacle is different. Still, he doesn’t suggest that they shouldn’t have done it. 

The French Revolution took his brothers, their wives, and all his nieces and nephews, and as much as he despised his brothers, he still took care of his father until the end of his life in New Orleans, and he still had a dream that he turned his whole family into vampires, so what that means to you as a reader is up for interpretation. 

Anyone can comment. What do you think any of the vampires’ opinion is/was of the atrocities that took place during the French Revolution?

Heya ! I’ve always wondered about how Lestat would feel about today’s french, how would he speak ? Would he use slang or would he stick to a more polite and noble way of speaking ? (noble slang, seems like Lestat’s jam tho.)

I’m not sure about that specifically, but I think Lestat curses alot more than he lets on in the books. 

[X by @mortcharmant, bc ppl tried to curb Lestat’s cursing by spritzing him w/ holy water, didn’t work.]

Noble or not, Lestat loves learning slang and sometimes uses it incorrectly, and that can be hilarious in itself. In general, I think he does try to keep it classy, if possible.

Lestat on ice!!!!!!!! i would pay to watch this show tho….

I want a VC animated series!!! SO BAD. Bc then we could have serius moments with beautiful artwork, we could achieve scenes and effects that could be too hard to film or be too expensive, and then we could also have the sillier moments, distorted features on the characters like we can do in fanart… I feel like it would be a great medium.

What do you love most about Lestat?

My muse HAS to answer everything truthfully for one hour, starting now!

It is impossible to expect me to give one definitive answer.  To love in such a manner, it is not a matter of picking favorite traits.

I love his vigor.  He’s not one to allow himself to become bored or secluded easily.  He does not think before he acts.  He simply does, and I have always envied him for being able to live in such a way.

I love his capacity to love others.  Lestat sees in humanity all of the positives, of which I also cannot claim to fathom for myself.  He sees beauty in all.  There is no being in this world that he does not feel is important in some way.

I love the forgiveness that he is capable of giving.

I love his seductiveness, his tenderness, and even his cruelty.

I love him as a whole.
