Lestat de Lioncourt in a satin dress, commissioned by @i-want-my-iwtv
I love this so much, look at the care and detail @thacmis put into this (among other things, can you believe the ethereal texture on that gown?? *u*), as Lestat would say, Perfect, just perfect! I think I officially have an obsession w/ Lestat & blood in glassware. It makes him feel more civilized ;}
#claiming u in the name of our fandom
You are so welcome! When encouragement isn’t enough I do throw grapes…
[^Quote from @goddessofidiocy]
♛Bon anniversaire, ma petite! I would send you a doll, but some girls outgrow them at a certain age, apparently. Myself, I’m over 200 years old and I love dolls. There’s no accounting for taste in some people.
*Although I may have acted somewhat excited about it a few months ago (and I don’t want to edit the post bc that’s a time capsule as to how I felt then), currently I don’t want a Leto!Lestat bc of the accusations against Leto, which you can google yourself bc I’m NOT going there. True or false, we don’t need that kind of baggage in our fandom, and there are PILES of younger actors out there who can play Lestat bc Boone wants this to be a trilogy w/ TV spinoffs and we need someone who can play 20 or 21 yrs old for a long time, and Leto altho he does not look like it is 44 yrs old.
You know what’s even more hilarious to me about all this than just ATLANTIS is that the more ppl question it, the stronger I get in my belief in it as an AU fanfic, and the more I support it as such, totally against my better judgment *crying and laughing*
Hey we finally got mermaids in our fandom so I am totally fine with it as an AU!

Take your time, there’s no rush. Books are patient creatures.
Bringing your cousin into this: yesssss, fresh blood for the fandom ^______^
It’s endlessly amusing to me that Lestat is the real winner in that movie, bc Tom made him so lovable despite the cruelty he inflicts on everyone around him, and Brad solidified many ppl’s impression of Louis as a sad-sack and Kirsten made Claudia well… someone who deserved all the sympathy.
Merci beaucoup ❤
[I got this message back when I was just coming back from my forced hiatus, and catching up with alot of things, and then slammed with real life stuff, so it got buried but it meant alot to me, thank u! so this is a fashionably late reply and Lestat would approve]
Omg what a thing to say to me thank u so much! *flails* YOU ARE SO WELCOME AS ALWAYS. You’re still on anon, so you’re not risking anything, but feel free to step into the light. What have you got to lose?
[X digging up an oldie from the archive, mon dieu using Impact was still in fashion! But the sentiment is still true.]
It’s especially flattering that you say I answer things in a hilariously Lestat-like way bc his positive attributes were an inspiration to me when, as a small fanged little trash kitten, I needed that so much. I feel more like myself when I’m interacting w/ ppl with some of his brand of optimism and charisma, which was not so much that I absorbed his, it was more that I recognized it was always there inside me, latent and sleeping, and needed to be reignited ;D
Plus, we all had to hide our love for this fandom in the dark ages before the internet really brought us together, and then some of us also suffered the war on fanfic. Unlike many other current fandoms, ours was crushed and couldn’t blossom until more recent years. I’m so grateful that we have these spaces now and that fandom is recognized as a more legitimate thing these days, we have more than shadowed spaces now! It’s very Lestat in TVL, drawing the Children of Darkness out into the modern world to enjoy the things that are out here to be enjoyed.
“Just remember: life – without me- would be even more unbearable” will always be one of my fave quotes bc there were times when it was very true, and currently, VC is still a positive presence for me, and it’s heartwarming to know it’s that way for others, like you, too! *hugs*
That is what I want as my legacy, just remember that I was crazy and I made you happy, and/or inspired you in at least some small way, bc that’s what VC has done for me.
Cut for sappiness…
^AU where I am Mrs. Lincoln and the rest of the fandom here is Mr. Lincoln ❤ bc that is what I want as my legacy, just remember that I was crazy and I made you happy.
I feel kind of married to this fandom and I treat it that way, like a significant other. We’re our own individual ppl but I like to think we compliment eachother; we all have our own talents to contribute, even if being an audience member for the fanworks is all some of us do.
Sometimes we fight, and there are times we disagree with canon, but we get through things regardless bc there’s a shared loyalty there and that’s a beautiful and precious thing. It’s fragile, too, and needs our commitment to survive.
^@sheepskeleton has spoiled us w/ two vampire mermaids so far, and I put them in the same pic pretty badly but oh well… [X][X] They look like sirens on the hunt for sailors to feeeeeed on….
Ordinarily YES this is the place for VC fandom love! Much of the mermaid (merpire? vampmaid? *sigh*) excitement has died down by now, but yeah, until we get PLROA we won’t know definitively if there will be mermaids but we can still have fun w/ it as an AU *u*
Our manic excitement/panic/craziness thrills Lestat “Bad attention is better than No attention” de Lioncourt.
