“Can you list a few modern professions you feel Lestat would have, if…”

It’s funny that you said illustrator bc my headcanon is that Lestat can’t draw to save his life (that’s why claudia liked drawing so much), vampire or not

Also: Lestat the young theatre actor. Louis the bookshop owner. Armand the eternal intern lol

Hmmmm, well, yeah, I used to headcanon that Lestat can’t draw, but then there are these quotes about his handwriting, so I feel like he does have some skill, but maybe just hasn’t really tried to Art specifically: 

• “… Lestat does everything in a big way-covers half the page with his magnificent lettering.” – David Talbot, Queen of the Damned

• “[Mona’s] generation, with Touch-Tone phones. Big deal! I can write with a quill pen in a flurry of curlicues you wouldn’t believe; let’s see her do that. And I don’t spill a drop of ink on the parchment, either.” – Lestat de Lioncourt, Blood Canticle 

Lestat the young theatre actor WELL OBVIOUSLY! *facepalm for missing that on my list*

Louis would definitely be a bookshop owner, he would handwrite all those little Staff Rec tabs, too. And he wouldn’t sell special editions to anyone he felt wouldn’t take care of them.
