Hey this isn’t my fav scene but I remember I started reading qotd and marius described lestat and how beautiful he is and I laughed so hard and couldn’t keep reading because it’s lestat writing how he thinks marius describes him and I died

Lestat interviewing Marius:

Lestat: So you just spent awhile talking about Louis. What were you thinking about me at that time, prior to the concert?

Marius: That Louis was waiting for you.

Lestat: Ok, yes, but what about ME?

Marius: …

Lestat: …

Marius: …

Lestat: Well I’m just saying you were very descriptive about Louis and Gabrielle so I just want to keep your voice consistent. What did you think about me at the time?

Marius: That you were the damnedest creature. 

Lestat: Really? You mean that?

Marius: Yes, a brat prince.

Lestat: Go on.

Marius: *sigh*

Lestat: *pouts*

Marius: Okay. Honestly you are such a child. -pauses- Face and form…  The  ice-blue eyes, darkening with laughter; the generous smile; the way the  eyebrows came together in a boyish scowl; the sudden flares of high spirits and blasphemous humor. 

Lestat: And?

Marius: Lestat!

Lestat: What? I just want the full story. Talk about my body.

Marius: *grumbles* Even the catlike poise of the body… So uncommon in a man of muscular build. Such strength, always such strength. 

Lestat: Oooh that’s good stuff… *writes* You make me sound so cool.

Marius: …such irrepressible optimism. *groans*

Lestat: Okay now we can move on.

I want to pinch Lestats cheeks

♛Isn’t that sort of reserved for children? Are you calling me a child? I’ll fight you!!

Or are you… do you mean my ass? It’s so strange that pinching, smacking, really any touching of the butt is so much fun to do. What reaction are we looking for when we do it? Anything! A jump, a giggle, but really I think we’re trying to motivate (or figure out whether there’s a chance of) sexytiems.

Louis says he hates it when I do any of that to him but it so often leads to a good result that I can tell you he’s sending mixed messages on that *winks*

I love it when he pinches my cheeks. Face or otherwise.

I believe it was in “Queen of the Damned” in which Khayman spoke of a power akin to technopathy. He was able to understand the use, composition, and function of any device, down to a molecular level, by simply looking at it.

– woah –

I’m not sure that that’s the exact word for it, but the Ricean vampires in general have implied that they’re adaptive, inquisitive, they learn things easily and much faster than mortals. I can’t find the quotes to support it but I’m 99% sure that Lestat learned to read/write by watching people do it (his monastery schooling only gave him so much: ”I couldn’t read or write more than a few prayers and my name.” TVL)

You caught me I do want your blood

♛I meant that in the figurative sense but of course someone had to go and take it literally. *growls* Just because the first vampiric monarchy found themselves imprisoned, forced to share, doesn’t mean I’ll meet the same fate.

If anyone calls me “the Fount” or any repugnant variation of such, they’ll find themselves facing the business end of Louis’ scythe. Fair warning. 

Do you have any theories on why, after you turn, your hair becomes long and stays curly and always grows back to that length?

♛It’s a great question, and one that puzzled me for a long time. You have it slightly off, though.

My hair didn’t become longer after I was turned. It was wavy, almost curly, and just past shoulder length and it still is, unless I cut it. It grows back to the length it was when I died. I can’t grow a beard or mustache, however, much to my chagrin and everyone else’s relief. I would have really liked to try the kind Salvador Dali sports *laughs* Sometimes I do apply fake ones for my own amusement. Goatee, soul patch, Tony Stark-esque manscaping, it’s a hobby.


Do I have any theories on this? Well, I didn’t know it would grow back so rapidly (and completely) until my mother had cut her hair. As you may know, during the day it had grown back to the length it was when she died. At the time, after the shock wore off, we did puzzle over it, but we had no one else to compare the experience with, so we assumed it was like all of our other inexplicable physical abilities: increased speed, strength, the ability to hear thoughts. Just another piece of the mystery of what we had become.

Knowing what we know now, I would offer that our special hair growth (and the fact that it maintains the texture it had when we were alive) is part of Amel’s irrational fusion with us. 

In case you aren’t familiar with dearest Amel: we, as a species, all share a piece of the one great entity that is him, he’s our spiritual parasite. He connects us all together. 

When we give the Dark Gift, our fledgling takes an invisible piece of Amel into him/herself, and Amel gets right to work mapping out their body, unconsciously choosing the things that will work for him, discarding what won’t…

it’s a tingling feeling. Our physical appearance is important to him; he wants to preserve the beauty he finds, and part of that is hair length (this applies to all hair, all over the body… you’ll note that Jesse was groomed for it first).

For if we can remain just as we were when we died, we have the best chance of continuing to exist, feed ourselves/him, and let him experience the world vicariously through us.
