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 ❤

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
ooc; also never forget that in the original Interview with the Vampire short story, Lestat was a farmer, Louis had a thing for his niece, and Daniel met Louis in a bar called the Pink Baby which was definitely a gay bar.

wHY U DO THIS?

“i-want-my-iwtv is one of my favorite blogs on Tumblr. Their posts are hilarious! You can tell how much work the moderator puts into their account. They’re like our fandom cheerleader.”

You sweet anon! Thank u, much appreciate *u*
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):

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!
