Besides the facts that Lestat is a serial killer and essentially does the opposite of what he’s advised, why is there so much chatter about “you wouldn’t want to be his friend”, “he’s not the one you’d want to be around”?? What else has Lestat done to make himself sound so unpleasant?

You can sum it up with “Does not play well with others.”

He’s kind of a bitch. In the books, he’s impulsive, a bully… he’s constantly biting back insults, violence, and laughter just to function in conversation. He covers up a lot of insecurity with bravado and that doesn’t always work in his interactions with others. He also dissolves into tears fairly easily.

Unfortunately monogamy is also difficult for him. He needs a lot of attention from a lot of sources. He’ll purposely sabotage a relationship, subconsciously or deliberately, to engage in another with someone else 😛 And regret doing so.

THAT said, he can also be the most loving out of all of the VC characters. He’s got a lot of love to give, and he gets frustrated when people don’t accept it the way he wants to give it.

Pretty sure this is the view Lestat had just as Daniel drove across the bridge in that Mustang.

# love the idea that Lestat was chilling on top of this bridge

# caught the image in Daniel’s mind of Louis

# and started hot pursuit

# and waited in that car

# until the interview was over

# yes

# just for the movie!verse bc we all know Lestat found out about Louis after the book came out

(INDIGNANT HUFFING) NOT ALL M……ale lions

the more i think about it, the weirder this comment seems. how does this man know that being a male lion is more stressful than being a female lion. has he lived as both a female and male lion before. is this man an Animorph

as a big cat fanatic and a zoo veteran: 

male lions are lazy fucks. they CHOOSE to fight cos they’re BORED.

As a professional Ethologist who specializes in apex predator and primate behavior, I can fully support this lazy lion notion.
See this gorgeous guy? 

This is Zero, the most photographed lion in National Geographic history (so I’ve been told). While his huge frame and two-toned mane make him an intimidating sight, he is essentially the biggest baby I observed while in South Africa.

You would hear these deep roaring moans echo across the reserve… and it was Zero, whining for the girls (Maggie and Lisa) to bring him food. The lazy bum would just roll around in the river bed moaning and groaning until the females would show up with a kill. 

Sure, he could fight if there happened to be a rival male in the area. And his ‘mock charge’ display was intimidating enough to keep just about everyone* out of his way… but 99% of the time this guy was all about moaning (for food), mating, and mane-flips.

* – The only animal not run off by Zero’s display was a honey badger, who – true to form – did not care.
