It was like waking from a nightmare, a terrible dream that plagued her, but instead of waking alone, she was with her coven. Her family. Family. After all those years alone, only seeing Lestat for a few nights at a time, she now had true family.
The blood had taken hold of her heart, changing her, transforming her. Rose looked to Viktor, as she was unable to see these changes on herself, she could see them take root in him. He complexion was paling, and he resembled his father a bit more, only in the sense that Viktor no longer looked human, but preternatural, as Lestat did. Still held by so many, her hand reached up to touch Lestat’s cheek, her look purely apologetic. Sorry that she hadn’t been strong enough to face her demons alone. The plan had been for Pandora and Marius to switch off with her and Viktor, giving them both blood, changing them together by feeding and drinking, the old way to make them strong. But she hadn’t been unable to survive the draining and drinking cycles, and now her mind would forever be locked to Lestat.

Perf time for Rose headcanon: Rose was chubby. Well, not fat, but with a kg or two fatter then the medium. And she is hella cute & cherubic
Ahhh, well, ALL kids are some degree of chubby if they’re healthy, that’s called baby fat!
I don’t remember her childhood story too well, tagging @roselioncourt for that, but I think it was a rough childhood before she was rescued? I pictured her as unhealthfully slender during that time. But maybe when Lestat rescued her and brought her to live with her new parental figures, there could have been a time period in which she reveled in the treats and might have gotten a little more than healthy baby fat!
Definitely hella cute & cherubic. At any size.
I didn’t see the Twilight movies well I’ve seen bits but not suffered through an entire movie on its own and Mackenzie Foy could have been a good kid!Rose.
^She got one of Uncle Lestan’s top hats and a new puppy.
^Another one of Uncle Lestan’s hats.
^Inquisitive nature. Uncle Lestan loved these kinds of pics, especially in daylight, when she seems oblivious to the camera, just letting nature charm her.
^Don’t keep her waiting if you said you were taking her to the playground. SERIOUSLY WE ARE ON A SCHEDULE HERE.
But I REALLY LOVE Suri Cruise as kid!Rose, too.
^I think her eyes are blue, more blue than Mackenzie’s anyway.
^”Oh nonono woman you did NOT just tell me they are out of black & white cookies. I would like to speak with your manager.” Suri has some attitude, she’s not just a pretty face. Uncle Lestan always said to speak up when you want something, people can’t read your mind…
^I really like this coat. Fake fur from Uncle Lestan, because she wanted a fur coat but stipulated that it couldn’t be real. She didn’t want to hurt any animals for it.
^This smile, this is what Uncle Lestan would do just about anything for! Perform whole soliloquys while doing handstands, pretend the floor is lava, make silly noises, funny faces, anything. ❤
^Bc of reasons.
^She has serious stage presence already. And not afraid to wear fancy fabrics do you realize that that is EYELET?! You know how easy it is to ruin eyelet? VERY. And navy is a pretty mature color for a kid. She’s got her “uncle’s” fashion sense already ;]
I hope you enjoy @roselioncourt from @ourbotticelliangel
All of it is made with different paper layered up to make everything. Little bit of Lestat and Louis for Christmas! Enjoy ❤
Losing Lestat
// AR shared this article on FB last night, and I, for one, am fucking terrified.
I’m not leaving…
Wow, *huge sigh of relief.*
TL;DR: I read it. It’s an essay from some random person, Carmen Dominique Taxer, about how RPers of fictional characters, specifically Lestat, are somehow divorcing readers from their headcanons of the fictional characters due to the way the RPers choose to portray these characters. That Taxer herself feels she had some kind of intimate connection with Lestat that RPer’s are somehow responsible for dissolving.
[As an aside: I thought that the article was going to be an interview with AR re: the next VC and she was saying smtg like, “~Welp guys I revived him, spruced him all up, and crowned him *~KING~* and now I’m ready to //SLAUGHTER// HIM IN THE NEXT BOOK HOW D’YA LIKE THEM APPLES?? xoxo AR~" which is absolutely not what the article was about which was a huge relief]
The scary part is not the accusation of the author of the essay. The scary part could be that AR shared it on her page. But she presented it without her own opinion. In the past, presenting topics without her own opinion was an open invitation to her POTP army to descend upon whoever/whatever the topic was and crush them/it out of existence.
That doesn’t seem to be her intention here. I didn’t see her response(s), if there were any, to the feedback she got on it. She might really just be curious about how her readers might agree or disagree with Ms. Taxer.
A quick skim showed that RPers defended themselves very eloquently and respectfully. I pasted one such response below:
Hit the jump for more on this, but basically, dudes, RPers, fanfic writers, I do not sense any disturbance in our corner of the Force. Continue business as usual.
And really, I think it’s wonderful that we have Lestats to flirt and interact with, Louis’s ("Louisi”?) to tease about fire, Armands to push around, Daniels to pester, characters like Claudia and Nicolas revived from their canon deaths, etc. etc., basically, #LOVE TO ALL THE RPERS!
Kristy Ashton: “Read through it a little bit and it was a nicely written piece I felt it gave role players a very bad name.
I have been a role player going on 20 years in a large variety of platforms and not all of us ‘steal’ canon characters for our own. My characters have always and will always be original and so have my storylines because I don’t like ‘rules’ laid down for restricted storylines.
But what upset me was the reference to role players as hollow creatures. It reminds me to much how fan fic writers are seen as having no creativity. I wrote fan fiction as a teenager and I saw it as creative exercise, just like role play.
I am a writer now, creating all my own original material and characters, and not once have I ever felt bad for any of this. This article felt like shaming to me and kinda ticked me off in that way.”
I added my emphasis in bold. Taxer responded to Ashton that she herself is a role-player! She says that “the role-players I refer to specifically are not the same as the traditional rp’ers. I have a lot of respect for someone that can take on the nature of a character, but, I have met some… less than honest ones online. I woud like to clarify now, that, the manipulations referred to in this article are not every role-player I have ever met, though, far too many, so much so, that, it has caused me to lose my own passion for roleplaying. Something that saddens me greatly…
I abhor the resentment passed on role-players, and that includes the resentment I may have perpetuated here, which is why I have placed a disclaimer into the original article now.”
So she basically withdraws some of the resentment after some more rational conversation about it.
I think I’m ready for The Vampire Lestat concert tonight, what about you?
You look much more like Rose than your faceclaim, to be honest…..
^Agreed w/ thelionsCC ❤
This shirt is by @jealizing! I gotta get me one. CAN’T DECIDE WHAT COLOR. Is that the relaxed fit? I think I want fitted scoop… so many choices!
