FQL:

Lestat here. I want to answer a question from Areona May: “Lestat, when you laid unmoving on the chapel floor all those years, why was it only Armand who was allowed to approach you? to touch you? What was it about him that was so special to your heart? —– Areona, I’m not quite ready to discuss in depth what was happening during my ‘comatose’ years on the chapel floor in New Orleans, but I can tell you I was conscious all the while, and aware of what was happening around me. In general, I was essentially recovering from my great journey to "Heaven and Hell” with Memnoch, seeking to make sense of what had been “revealed” to me and what it meant, and whether or not any of it could be trusted. You could say I was roaming on another plane of existence. Some time in the future, I might be able to say more about it. I controlled who approached me and who didn’t. And I did allow Armand to come close for a specific reason. He had a deep anguished need to know whether Memnoch had been a truthful spirit or a lying spirit, whether my visions with Memnoch had been true glimpses of the Divine or delusion. His pain shone bright, brighter than the pain of anyone near me. And so I honored Armand’s intentions. You could say that Armand respected what happened to me with Memnoch more than any of my other immortal comrades. I love Armand deeply. My view of Armand has evolved over time. The less I fear him, the more I love him. And the more I suffer, the more I come to understand Armand’s suffering. I have never doubted Armand’s love for me. We are kith and kin, Armand and me. Areona, thanks for the question. —– I will return later to this page to answer another question and at that time, you all can leave more questions for me.

FQL of recent answerage:

Lestat here. Deb Chowning Thomas asks: “Lestat, i would love to meet your mother. Do you ever see her? I would love to hear of her adventures.” Trust me, Deb. You do not want to meet my mother. Meeting my mother is one of those ideas that sounds good, but isn’t. My mother isn’t calculatedly cruel but she is almost entirely indifferent to human beings, and even those immortals around her. And you’ll likely never hear a story of her adventures, but she will never take the trouble to tell such a tale, even to herself, let alone anyone else. I do love my mother and I do see her often of late, but I could never call it deeply satisfying or even a pleasure. Sentient and articulate beings bore my mother. She is truly more interested in the physical world, and the animal world than she is in human personality or art or culture. But who knows? Maybe I’m wrong about my mother. Maybe she does have some great story to tell about a love, a tragedy, a triumph or what mortals call “a learning experience.” But I see no indication of it. Let’s put it this way, she seems consistently annoyed when I’m around her, and eager to slip away. That’s the dominant theme with her. And that’s how she’s been since her first nights as an immortal. But maybe I need her too much to really understand her. Good question, Deb. Thanks. But if you do ever encounter my mother, run. I doubt she’s ever bothered to stalk or chase or hunt down an unwilling victim. Just doesn’t interest her.

Another FQL answered:

Lestat here. Answering two questions here. —- This question came from Anna Newbern: “Dear Lestat, if you could be reincarnated as any animal, which animal would you choose and why?” Ghastly thought, Anna. I would hate being reincarnated as an animal. I had a hard enough time being a human. But if this had to happen, I would choose to be a male lion. Of course I’d wish for splendid size, mane, and health, and would want to be free on the African plain, and to live a vigorous and murderous life, competing with other males for dominance of mates and hunting territories. —– Here’s the second question, from Aqeel Baksh: “Lestat – Question with all your gifts and time, is there any place you have yet to go to (on earth) that you would like to? and why?” — Truly, I want to see and explore every place on earth, and I have yet to explore India or Pakistan, or Australia and New Zealand, or the Andes Mountains or the world’s many tropical islands. Just have not gotten around to it. But I will in the future. I want to see the physical beauty of these places and all places, want to roam amongst the people, want to feel the air, and view the stars from these many places. —– Thanks for two excellent questions.

HEY liquorandptsdvarietyshow, prep your guest bedroom (or your own bed, hehehe), Lestat wants to visit NZ!

Blonde hair jeSuS BLONDE HAIR

“What would Christ need have done to make me follow Him like Matthew or Peter? Dress well, to begin with. And have a luxurious head of pampered yellow hair.”

– Louis de Pointe du Lac, Interview with the Vampire

I’ll warm your cold blood xP by Drkav

cloudsinvenice: That’s one of my favourite quotes from IwtV. Such an acknowledgement by Louis of his own faults, and so true of so many of us…

Have you ever thought to seek another companion, other than Louise? Perhaps a female?

— Lestat here. Well, first of all, I must correct you, as you made a rather egregious misspelling of my “Forever Companion” ‘s name. Louis with an “e” is in fact the feminine version of his name. Tsk tsk.

That aside, yes, if you’ve read my books, you would be enriched with the knowledge that I have tried – several times – to make other companions. Always knowing that none could compare to him. I’ve made fleeting connections with others… David Talbot being someone I have plucked from the jaws of mortality to bring with me into the abyss of eternity, but even he and I never had the level of spark that lives between Louis and I whenever we are together. I can even feel it through his written words, even in the abbreviated communication of texting (and sexting when I can get him in the mood for it!) when we are apart.

It seems that Monsieur de Pointe du Lac is in fact, as the slang seems to go here, my “better half”, that we are an “OTP”. It’s not always rainbows and sparkles, as in any relationship, there are fights, there is space needed sometimes… of course, passionate reconciliation is often well worth that! We tear eachother to pieces, and fashion eachother to completion again.

So yes, he and I both have, from time to time, sought other companions. None have ever compared to what we have together. 

I am sure that he would respond to your question similarly, albeit more concisely.

This is Velvet Rose Side A, a doujinshi. I’m sharing bc I want some more! VC fandom of tumblr, FIND IT. Surely with our powers combined we can become Captain Planet *ahem* find more of this.  

Here’s a sequel to it, but surely it’s available scanned somewhere already… I know $20 is not much, I just don’t buy from sites I’ve never heard of :-

lestat totally wears makeup

Not a lot on a daily basis, but if you think he leaves the house without moisturizer, eyeliner and maybe lipgloss ever you’re sadly mistaken.

If the house was on fire he’d probably stop by a mirror to make sure he looked alright.

A little Bio-Silk to tame the frizz and keep the curls down to a dull roar from that dreadful New Orleans humidity.

it hurts my soul that Lestat deeply loves with every ounce of his soul and he can’t have it returned by any companion he’s ever known

i’m aware of his plights, flaws and inexcusable actions but even still as a third party you’re invited into his inner turmoil and his loneliness crushes my entire being.
