// I dunno, “My Immortal” is still so much worse, in my opinion. But that BV excerpt is still close enough to that level of bad that you can’t not see it.

The resemblance is uncanny!

(talkin’ bout Blood Vivicanti vs. My Immortal)

[myimmortalchronicles is magic!]

I assume lestat was all “make yourself look the way you’d want to for eternity!” Like he crouched everything in this over dramatic language and hoped louis would “read between the lines”

Unlike some other male vampires who didn’t have a choice or otherwise weren’t manscaped pre-Dark Gift, I think Lestat did convey to Louis to get himself all cleaned up, bc he planned to be smooching on that face for eternity ❤

Thank you for the compliments in the tags XD they were lovely!! let’s form a Protect Lestat Aliance <3

You are so welcome, Child of Darkness (that’s what we VC ppl are calling ourselves now btw), I had no choice, your fanart is awesome, #CLAIMING YOU IN THE NAME OF OUR FANDOM.

Form a Protect Lestat Alliance? Sure! We would mostly be trying to save him from his own nonsense of course…

Lestat KNOWS he’s his own biggest threat other than his ghostwriter ffs 

How do you think the main vampires (Lestat, Louis, Armand, etc) flirt and act when they have a crush on somebody?

Did u want this answered seriously? I can’t do that, it would take a dissertation #Read the Books.

Lestat hunts down his object of affection and throws himself at them, quite literally:

Armand obsesses over his object of affection and tries to woo them with his Mind Gift and/or fine cultural activities:

Claudia turns on the waterworks to get what she wants:

Louis extends the invitation and lets people sweep him off his feet:

Daniel interviews people he’s interested in:

Marius likes to control his object of affection (which seldom works):

I was watching IWTV (for the second time today) and I thought at the scene in the Taverne du Chat Noir, at the beginning, was Lestat influencing that guy’s mind to not kill Louis? Do you have thoughts on this?

Quite possibly!

Lestat’s Mind Gift at that time was more for when he was directly interacting with the person, but  in TVL he could call a horse to him from a distance with it. 

I don’t know if Lestat’s Mind Gift was ever as fine-tuned as Armand’s, tho, in the sense of bending someone’s will as far as Armand could bend it. Armand used his Mind Gift to manipulate Louis into making a vampire, which was the last thing Louis ever wanted to do!
