I feel like QOTD would be that *in-universe* attempt to make a movie about Lestat by someone who didn’t know or care what he actually looked like, they just wanted to do one of those “based on a true story” type things. I could easily see Lestat watching it just to make fun of how inaccurate it is. “That guy looks NOTHING like me” “is this really what my music sounds like to mortals” “if they really wanted to make a movie about me they should’ve just asked me to write direct and act in it”

Do you mean movie!QOTD? The REAL Lestat was not consulted on that adaptation.

Dora and Lestat shared a very intimate experience in Memnoch the Devil that had not occurred in canon before, and has not happened since, but it’s a situation that anyone interested in vampires might have wondered about before. Lestat was exhausted and very badly upset, it had been a long trip, and Dora seemed happy to console him in this *very special* way.

So I don’t deny that it was gross and bizarre but I think of this scene – at certain monthly intervals – and consider it from her perspective. She seemed to like it. He seemed to like it. It went from dubcon to consensual in about 3 seconds… and she seemed empty afterwards?? He actually might have saved her a few $ on feminine products?? SUCH A GENTLEMAN. 

More specifically, we don’t get alot of detail about it as being different from the blood they consume anyway, but I would think it would absolutely be a different experience, and hey, maybe there are foodie-vampires who prefer it? 

Lestat, I think Martin Rolinski might actually be your own son lol (you probably heard that before). What do you think about his facial features? I find him very beautiful.

♛ It’s no secret that I sowed more than my share of wild oats by the time I was fifteen. He is a beautiful creature and you are not the first to make the comparison, Martin very well could be a de Lioncourt. I’ll need to visit him in person and inspect those facial features a little closer, just to be sure… And I try not to turn family members but I admit that my willpower on that policy is weak…

[^X This is Lestat, y’know]

I really despise Armand, I don’t even know why. I have this hatred for his character. But everyone in the fandom seems to like him…

Are you the Anon who hated Armand from a month ago? Too bad you’re both on Anon bc you could form a club! 

[textmeme by armandromanus, who deactivated so I can’t link to it]   

Noone says you have to like all the characters, some are in fact antagonists in some stories and protagonists in others, and everything in between, and they can change over time. What AR is telling us is that labeling someone “bad” or “good” or “crazy” is a limitation. Life is not so black and white. 

You don’t know why you despise Armand, but you say “everyone in the fandom seems to like him…” Consider this: some ppl dislike a character just because so many other ppl like them. I didn’t like the Beatles at all for a long time just bc so many other ppl liked them, and I wanted to feel like I had my own special taste. I listened to some of their hits, then some more, really gave them a chance… and well… turns out, I like the Beatles.

Give him more of a chance or don’t. Not everyone loves him but he has plenty of fandom love.

// Hello Lovely! I’ve been reading Blackwood Farm (I picked it up for 3 dollars at a local second-hand book/clothing store) and I am absolutely LOVING it so far. Lestat is pretty funny in it, and I am only like 5 chapters in. Please don’t tell me that it’s considered a dud book because I am gushing over every word lol. #QuinnClub.

I love that

second-hand bookstores exist so good ppl like you can rescue a book from the landfill! ❤ IDK if yours is a hardcover but I love snagging those for a tiny fraction of the price originally printed on their jackets. Some of those prices seemed really insane, y’know? Unnecessarily expensive well i’m not in publishing so maybe those were fair prices then but they felt really unnecessarily expensive on my wallet at the time.

I skimmed the entirety of BF just now, I’m reminded that it’s one of the first of the “I mean, this family runs into problems and it’s ‘Oh, let’s have Lestat [bleep] our way out of it’ ” VC stories. It’s not Lestat’s problem, he’s chaperoning this adventure, and as much as AR tries to get him invested in it, I never really believed her that he would care, so it feels very AU to me. Even though I don’t like it, I don’t consider BF a “dud book,” bc it’s still a good vampire/ghost/supernatural story as-is ;]

So BF is not one of my faves, I’ve only read it once, but I know there are alot of ppl who enjoyed it, there are ppl clamoring for more Quinn on AR’s FB page! I bet they’d join your #QuinnClub.

What do you think of Lestat from the Queen of the Damned movie?

Leave a comment

I really dislike that movie as a whole, but I know many ppl enjoy it for what it is and/or find it nostalgic, so I try to keep my negative opinions about it to myself.

(by textsfromthevampire ^This meme actually works in reference to Lestat and Stuart Townsend AS Lestat.)

The long answer is:

I didn’t hate Townsend. I don’t like to throw hate on actors for their acting. I’d say ST did the best he could with what he was given. His failure as Lestat was a group effort (makeup, costume, script writer, dialogue coach, director, editor, sfx, etc. all had a hand in what we got on the screen) much as Cruise’s success was a group effort (wherein all those things previously mentioned came together so perfectly).

The actor is one part of the machine in creating that character. The failure or success of the character can ultimately be placed on the director since s/he’s the one who coordinates and makes all the aesthetic choices for the entire film.

But again, some ppl really enjoyed him as Lestat, maybe for the same reasons I /disliked/ his performance! Everyone has their own taste, ppl frequently disagree with the Academy Awards (why hasn’t Tom Cruise gotten one yet???!!), it’s all very subjective.

I recently met a man who looked just like Louis (Brad Pitt version), and acted just like Louis. And the best part we became friends! (The question is am I lestat?)

I am so jealous!! Having a Louis-like friend is not quiiiite enough to be Lestat. Do you pester him, belittle him for his introverted qualities? Are you the manic pixie nightmare creature trying to pull him into a more colorful and exciting life? Do you have a gorgeous head of pampered yellow hair? 

Louis and Lestat are not friends. They’re hopelessly in love with eachother and live to “stick pins” in eachother. Or fangs. Whichever.

Out of curiosity, which version of Louis is your new friend? There are many, but the two main ones are: Freshly-Dragged-from-the-Gutter!Louis:

Or BAMF!Louis:

^The ego is the same but the outward display of confidence is hugely different. And the smell. BAMF!Louis smells like almonds, black tea and honey. Gutter!Louis, not so much. More like wet cat D:

I need to ask this i dont know why but i feel like I need to. Have you ever read that one louis/lestat fic which includes scissors? This is a weird question to ask I KNOW but you’d immediately understand which fic i’m talking about if you had read
