It’s his mortal birthday, not explicitly stated in canon. It’s what Anne Rice has told us, so not everyone accepts it as canon. As for his vampire birthday, we don’t know the exact date, but I headcanon he wouldn’t celebrate it. I don’t think any of the vampires celebrate or even mention the exact dates for when they were turned, except Claudia (L/L seem to celebrate the night she was turned).
AR has said she based Lestat on her husband, Stan Rice, whose birthday was Nov. 7.
You know what that means…
Happy birthday Lestat! 257 years old in 2017!
pssst send your fave Lestat RPer happy bday messages for him ;D
Lestat de Lioncourt
“I’m Gentleman Death in silk and lace, come to put out the candles. The canker in the heart of the rose.”
Happy Birthday to the Brat Prince !!!
Only the first 2, wow you have a ways to go!
Yep, she gave us their birthdates (Louis – October 4; Lestat – November 7) outside of canon. Neither date is mentioned explicitly in canon, and so some ppl do not accept that information as canon.
(There is also some fanon that Armand’s bday is November 11, which AR never mentioned at all.)
I don’t recall the vampires ever celebrating their birthdays explicitly in canon, but I headcanon that some of them do. Some of them prefer to celebrate the date they were turned, some celebrate both (exception: I headcanon that Lestat doesn’t celebrate the date he was turned) and some celebrate neither (Khayman, maybe).
EDIT: Claudia mentions in her diary entry in QOTD that Sep. 21 is the night her dads honor every year as her birthday, and she doesn’t know why. It’s probably the night she was turned, bc Lestat tells her “‘It was the day you were born to us.’ ” It’s Michele Rice’s birthday, Anne Rice’s daughter.
[X] BTW, I was looking for a reference as to Lestat and Louis’ birthdays for an Ask and found this. Someone used one of my memeythings for Becket’s birthday in 2015. The POTP are aware of me… *shudders*
And no, AR was not among the 21 who Liked that pic.
♠(Louis) Mais, oui, fire burns even in humid places. Where there’s a will, there’s a way, as they say. Lestat thanks you for the birthday wishes, by the way, and we did have candles, and no one was injured. It’s insulting that people have this perception that I burn things accidentally, believe me, it’s almost never an accident. Or perhaps they are aware that’s it’s done on purpose…

It isn’t humid here year-round, but yes, we love the heat, we love the flora and fauna that love the heat, many things are different, more sultry, in the dead heat of summer. Although I do visit other places, I wouldn’t trade New Orleans as my true home for anywhere else on earth.
As for my hair and the humidity, well, even as a mortal my hair was not very affected by the elements, and it isn’t now. My sister and mother on the other hand, they were always at war with the damp air during the summer months. It was a source of great amusement for my brother and I.
♛Merci, visage gris. There absolutely was fun and decadence on my birthday evening, you know I can’t help but put the “laughter” in “slaughter.”

♛ Merci beaucoup… and yes, I can give Louis plenty of kisses at your request, he deserves them!
