In Blackwood Farm, Lestat says his name is “compounded of the first letter of each of my six older brothers’ names.” Is that true? Whose brilliant idea was that? Were you that disinterested in choosing an actual name for him?

This is a falsehood. 

When he was very young, his brothers (not known for their kindness), told him this story. They made it quite clear to him that his parents, having no love left for him after six children, took the laziest route possible in naming him. 

This is, of course, an utter lie. I’ve already told the story here of Lestat’s naming—and I’ve also explained this to him many times (he tends to accept this story as a part of his own mythology, unfortunately). 

He does, from time to time, need reminding that his name, just like my love for him, was not accidental in nature. He is, and ever will be, my Lestat. Thus I named him, and thus I keep him. 

And his brothers are dead. So there’s that. 

(he tends to accept this story as a part of his own mythology, unfortunately).He picks and chooses his own mythology, for SURE.

“What an unusual name, Lestat,” she returned. “Does it have a meaning?”

“None whatsoever, Madam,” Lestat answered. “If memory serves me right, and it does less and less, the name’s compounded of the first letter of each of my six older brothers’ names, all of whom – the brothers and their names – I grew up to cheerfully and vigorously despise.”

So he must have known all his brothers before they died ;A;

Discussing this with viaticumforthemarquise… maybe Augustin (or one of Lestat’s brothers) told him that just to hurt his feelings, like “YOU ARE SO WORTHLESS THAT AT BIRTH OUR PARENTS COULD ONLY MUSTER THE CREATIVITY TO TAKE A LETTER FROM EACH OF OUR NAMES” *SLAPS*

Lestat: *screaming internally*

They told him this at a young age … and he never questioned it.

And All That Could Have Been – Nine Inch Nails

Please
Take this
And run far away
Far as you can see
I am tainted
And happiness and peace of mind
Were never meant for me
All these pieces
And promises and left behinds
If only I could see
In my nothing
You meant everything
Everything to me.

Find a beautiful piece of art. If you fall in love with Van Gogh or Matisse or John Oliver Killens, or if you fall love with the music of Coltrane, the music of Aretha Franklin, or the music of Chopin – find some beautiful art and admire it, and realize that that was created by human beings just like you, no more human, no less.

Maya Angelou, you will be missed. (via hydeordie)

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD YOU DIDN’T!

Did not even need to look to see who made this one!

*u* thanks vampchronfic et cloudsinvenice  (OH YES I DID, I WENT THERE, AND ALL I GOT WAS A BILLOWY POET SHIRT)

I wish I had the time to RP or the skillz for fanart but what I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a valuable part of the VC fandom and I am so very glad to have other people enjoy this kind of output!

MARRIAGE

[dat-brad-pitt provided Mr. & Mrs. Smith dialogue, Louis gif by do-not-sit-next-to-dennis]

I do not know why I go on. I do not search for truth. I do not believe in it. I hope for no ancient secrets from you, whatever they may be. But I believe in something. Maybe simply in the beauty of the world through which I wander or in the will to live itself. This gift was given to me too early. It was given for no good reason. And already at the age of thirty mortal years, I have some understanding as to why so many of our kind have wasted it, given it up. Yet I continue. And I search for you.

How can you have lived for so long and still not get it?

Important. Truths.

Los movimientos humanos poseen elegancia. Hay sabiduría en la carne, en el modo en que hace las cosas el cuerpo humano. Me gusta el ruido de mis pies al tocar el suelo, el tacto de los objetos entre mis dedos.

“Human movements possess elegance. There is wisdom in the flesh, in the way he does things the human body. I like the sound of my feet to touch the ground, touch the objects in my fingers.”
