If Prince Lestat doesnt have a part were Armand refers to him quoting mean girls I’ll be so disappointed…
“He is a life ruiner. He ruins peoples lives.”

louis: *angsts*
armand: *blends*
Another fan question for Lestat answered:
Lestat here. I want to answer this question from Zaira Maranelli:
“Lestat… could you explain to me what is love for you? I speak about the deep love that make you suffer and pain, that make you forget about you and your thoughts… Have you really ever felt that?” Love, for me, Zaira, is caring for another so completely that that person is as important to you as yourself, so that you suffer when that person suffers, you know joy when that person knows joy, and you cannot separate your own fate from that person’s fate without considerable angst and misery. That is love. And yes, I have known it — for my mother, for my beloved Nicholas and for Louis, and for Claudia, and for Armand and for others. Love is rooted in understanding, deep emotional and physical attraction, and in common sympathy. And once you love some one like that, well, you have given a hostage to fate. I find it impossible to live without loving. I find it excruciating to feel that I am utterly unloved. I thrive on loving and on being loved. I cannot contemplate living for any length of time without the hope of love, without hoping to experience love in my daily existence, and without the hope of knowing love in the future. In my worst trials, the memory of having been loved, and of loving has sustained me. Part of the agony of loving can be discovering that you have been cruel to the one you love, that you have cheated that person, that you have rejected the loved one when you did not mean to do it at all, that you have failed the person utterly. I have experienced all this; the fault was in me; not in loving. I have loved imperfectly, but I’m learning to love in new and better ways all the time.
one of my fave parts in tvl was when lestat beat the shit out of armand and like five mins later was all like “oh my the poor thing. he’s so pretty, better help him”
Can your kind get tattoos, Lestat? Rapid healing and all that, but would the ink still stick? Have you ever tried or thought to try?
In theory, yes, I suppose we can get tattoos. Granted, it would be a great deal tougher on the artist considering how hard they would have to press just to break our skin. Depending on how old the immortal is, it may not work at all. Ultimately, however, the ink would be rejected by our bodies, and by morning the tattoo would be gone entirely.
Another FAN QUESTION FOR LESTAT answered:
Lestat here. And this time, I’m going to answer two questions. The first is from Bridgett Davenport: “Lestat, excluding vampires, who is the most interesting non-human you have met?” —- I would say the ghost of Roger whom I encountered in “Memnoch the Devil.” Roger was the first of my victims and maybe my only victim ever to come back from the dead to talk to me in ghostly form. He terrified me (temporarily anyway), and fascinated me. This was my first real experience with ghosts and how ghost “incarnate.” I don’t want to think of any of my other victims coming back to haunt me, ever. I have come to no first conclusions as to what Roger’s visitation actually meant. —- Second Question: From Elise Miller: “Lestat, you’ve seen so much and lived through so many years of human turmoil, does the current state of humanity irk you, or do you pay little attention to it?” — It’s the opposite, Elise. I’m in awe of the current state of humanity, the inventiveness, the imagination, the technological knowledge, the artistic fertility, and the huge areas of the globe that are at peace. I’m more than ever optimistic about the future of humankind, and all the more sad that I can witness human progress but never be part of it. But I’m an optimist by nature, I must admit. I’m profoundly grateful that I’m able to watch all this from the sidelines, and glory in the new music, the new art, the new humanistic philosophies being developed all the time.
Another QUESTION FOR LESTAT answered:
Lestat here: Jasmine Donovan has asked: “Lestat, what do you believe has helped you to adapt to the changes in the world over the years and has helped you to survive through all the trials and tribulations you have faced? — Jasmine, it is my optimism and rebellious spirit. I simply refuse to be defeated. No matter what happens to me, I fight back and I fight for myself and fight to turn the experience into something meaningful. This is not a virtue. This is an inherent disposition. I can’t help it. Having been made a vampire against my will, I refused to be bad at being bad, if being bad was my destiny. And ultimately I refused to accept other people’s definitions of being bad, or being damned or being cursed, and sought some path for myself which enabled me to be proud of what and whom I am. I make a lot of mistakes, a lot of blunders. But I never give up. I never despair for long. I can’t. I’m always spinning straw into gold. And this is why I survive, more than anything. I am in my unfolding stories what the world calls a comic character, rather than a tragic character, because I am never permanently undone by anything, never finished or ruined, never permanently destroyed, no matter how great are my own flaws. I always come back. Always. Thanks, Jasmine for the question. I hope I’ll see more good questions tonight on this page at 10 p.m.
Stfu and gtfo, Armand.
Lestat, in every book at some point. (via laurencombeferre)
