I do not see the gender, my dear, so I don’t quite have preferences. I do not mind a bit since I seem to busy myself with more important things such as their essence, character, beauty – and by the last I don’t mean only the exterior appearance, but I think you should already know that by now.
This is very personal, but I am not ashamed. Go back a decade to me, or to who I was. I graduated high school and had nothing going for me. I had no goals and I was addicted to a lot of drugs. A lot. I’ve done pretty much a lot of the list: marijuana, cocaine, heroin, acid, opium, etc. My father was very abusive and my mother mentally checked out years before. I was just some drug addicted loser who hated everything about life, and who had no access to the medications I needed for various mental disorders like my dissociative disorder and my schizoaffective disorder.
There are no words for how empty and miserable every day was. I walked through life feeling like I wanted to scream so loud that my whole body would tear apart.
One day I decided I had enough. I would get off drugs and go to college. I would do something. In order to do that, I had to separate myself from my friends and the person I had been with for years. I had always loved the Vampire Chronicles and remember feeling like something had opened up to me when I read about Marius.
Isolated, I had nothing but books, TV, and the internet. Reading fan fiction came first. Really, when I started in the fandom, it was the best time to be in it. And then I began meeting people who loved the Vampire Chronicles, too. Since I adored Marius so much and knew so much about him (this was pre-The Vampire Armand, Pandora, and Blood and Gold), they asked me to play Marius. I said yes.
And it was pretty much set by then. I fell in love with him in every sense of the word, to be honest. It was through roleplaying that I was able to quit drugs, gain a sense of confidence, and even find my love of history. I went to college to study history and am now a professor of history. I got cool stuff, too. Free tickets to see the Vampire Lestat musical on Broadway. VC “swag” like hats and shit. It was awesome. I was a valued member of not only a roleplay community, but something more important. I was a valued member of something real.
My friends and I would role-play on YIM and create roleplay groups. Then we started a forum where people could join and talk to us as if we were the real vampires. But that became tedious for a while and I wanted to write again so…. I came here.
‽:An unpopular/unusual ship with my character that I love
I honestly think the hate “sex” between Marius and Santino would be quite fun.
I love this answer!! *cries*
What got you other RPers into RPing? I want more stories *u*
ooc; Hi this is merciful-death jumping onto monsieur-le-rockstar’s account because she wanted me to post her childhood!Lestat headcanons she went on about tonight in a Skype conversation k
No, in fact they did not. They actually appeared to be rather anxious in their minds once I had explained to them my reasons behind what I was about to do. The thought of becoming something closer to what Armand was enchanted them, and I was not the one to put such thoughts inside their minds – it was already there even before me.
However, their loyalty, their sentiment and honesty towards Armand moved, touched me deeply. And this is why I do not regret it. I did what it would have to be done one way or the other, and I did not want those feelings to fade, to allow them to turn into hatred. I wanted to carry this burden myself, and now I do.
Actually, there seems to be a few steps missing from this ‘guide’. I don’t want to mislead my fans into thinking they can achieve proper Lestatism in less than ten steps.
Have impeccable fashion sense
Fall in love with (almost) anyone who seems even remotely interesting…. except for Armand.
Remember to visit Louis at least once or twice every few years or so, less he start whining loud enough for you to hear it.
(Actually pretend youre not obsessed with Armand by saying you love everyone but him)

3. What music they enjoy: Classical music and mostly songs he hears here and there.
4. How much time they spend getting ready every morning: twenty minutes to two hours if he’s being picky about what he wants to wear and tries on five different outfits.
5. Their favorite thing to collect: instruments, mainly strings and pianos. Or he collects sheet music. He also enjoys small rocks found on the beach filling up clear vases with them and setting them around his home. //exes// How dare you mun I do no such thing
6. Left or right-handed: ambidextrous
7. Religion (if any): ….
8. Favorite sport: ….Hunting
9. Favorite touristy thing to do when traveling: sightseeing under the stars.
10. Favorite kind of weather: Prefers when the air just begins to have a slight chill to it. Rain makes him reflect, and he hates being cold, though will still venture outside to watch the snow fall and then complain about how cold it is.
{{I was feeling super confident about my Lestat earlier, now I’m like, receding back into myself. My confidence is almost gone now.}}
