I did not know that! I can see Lestat screaming that from across their flat just to irritate Louis honestly Lestat has 10,000+ names he calls Louis just to irritate him and most of the time Louis just puts up with it and responds anyway bc he picks his battles.
That is an awful legacy of names! Lestat and also Alucard aka that name low budget horror films would use when they couldn’t buy the rights to dracula/subtly foreshadow the fact that their character was a vampire shhh secret though. I want a fucking reality tv series of #vampireboy
It must be strange growing up with a fictional character’s name, especially as a “Lestat” baby. Whenever I mention the series there’s a chance I’ll get negativity bc there’s still homophobia out there, etc. I actually do try to bring it up relatively soon when deciding on making a new friend, bc if they reveal themselves to be homophobic or otherwise treat the VC like it’s shameful in any regard, then I don’t really want to waste my time with that person.
But I don’t think I could name a future son of mine "Lestat.“ Maybe I’d choose one of the more normal names, and there are plenty! I’ve seen alot of cat and dog (and apparently there’s a mule in NOLA?) Lestats, and a few young boys named Lestat on the interwebs. Kids will tease anyone for any reason, having a strange name won’t help this "Lestat-Armon Alucard.”
Noteworthy: I met a little Akasha (2 yrs old!) at a booksigning. She definitely lived up to the name, throwing such a tantrum that she had to be removed from the building by her father, she never got to meet her maker AR.
(^This is not her mom in the pic. Just a fan thrilled to hold Akasha in her arms!)
DUDE I brainstormed alot, my blog was inspired by vampchronfic and vampire-chronicles-appreciation, so I wanted VC represented in the url prominently. I realized that “VC” rhymes w/ the “I want my MTV” slogan that MTV had in the 90s (and 80s), but “I-want-my-VC” didn’t quite flow right. “IWTV” had a better letter combination and here is a gif of the versions of my logo bc of reasons

2. What is your middle name?
DANGER. No. It’s *~Dorothy~*
3. If you could own a fairytale/fictional pet, what would it be?
I probly can’t get away with “vampire” for this one, since they probably make terrible pets… Cat-sized unicorn. Not very rational here, I should choose like the Golden Goose for infinite money, shouldn’t I? Okay, Golden Goose.
4. Favorite color? Depends on my mooooood but iridescence always catches my eye, especially in oily rain puddles.
Vampire Chronicles is my enduring addiction. Getting into the Avengers somewhat. Other than that, Real Life.
7. Why do you love tumblr? Fanworks and meta and such and so.
8. Tag your tumblr crushes! They answer the questions too.
I don’t wanna play favorites/crushes! I’m gonna tag some lovely people I’ve seen (or haven’t seen!) in my activity feed (this is a small sample; I appreciate you all! You keep my crazy blog alive!)(in NO particular order, and these are not necessarily even following me):
