You’ve been in the fandom longer than I have, so can you answer something I’ve always wondered? Did the Lestat fans go nuts when Rock of Ages came out (the movie)? Since its pretty much rock star lestat….
Exhibit A:
^Basically rock star Lestat.
Exhibit B:
More gifs/pics from RoA that I consider Lestatuesque.
As for the fandom reaction, tbh I’ve been a fan ever since the dark ages of speculative fic on geocities websites oh gawd i am old I survived the War on Fanfic from the 90’s... but I didn’t actually find the fandom as it exists now until after this movie came out (2012)!
At the time, I myself was excited along with a few RL friends who were my entire VC fandom at that time. We were pleased as punch.
I’ll speculate that the fandom ppl that loved Cruise’s Lestat (like meeee) were very psyched for RoA. Even now, I consider Cruise’s Jaxx to be an older, mortal, brunet, tattooed Lestat. That’s alot of AU there, but still.
In RoA, his character is similar to Lestat: that whole macho shell with a tender, bruised inside that just wants to be loved for who he really is. At the end of RoA, Jaxx ends up with someone who loves him for HIM, rather than the groupies who love his stage persona or want to bang him for his sexual prowess, or his money, or whatever. Same thing with Lestat. So many people want to fuck him, but very few put in the effort, or gain his trust enough to get to know who he really is inside.
i made more giffo’s
brunet!Lestat: not sure if shudz bite or kiss u, much confuse, very concern…
What do you think would happen if a vampire got a tattoo? Would it stay?
Well first of all, there are so many kinds of vampires to consider, all different interpretations, different physiologies, blah blah… my immediate thought is that 30 Days of Night vampires could have tattoos from before they were turned that would endure, and same for The Lost Boys vampires, and further, I think The Lost Boys vampires could get permanent tattoos after being turned, too. I don’t think we ever see if they do, that’d be a question for skeletalroses (Can you speak to that?).
RICEAN vampires are my fave (of course)(this being a Vampire Chronicles blog) so I’ll just focus on them.
So I don’t remember, but I think one of the Fang Gang dudes from QotD had tattoos…
As far as my opinion tho… I think they CAN GET a tattoo because they can be pierced with needles and such (especially when they’re allowing themselves to be cut/pierced) but it wouldn’t stay too long. The ink would probably be rejected by their system the same way alcohol and drugs swim around, affecting them temporarily, but evaporate eventually.
So they could get a tattoo and it might last a night or so. Think of the terrible tatts Lestat could get! Cheesy “MOM” hearts, or “Born to be Wild” for example. We could keep going. They would all be out-of-touch trying-to-be-cool things that he would torture Louis with. Even face tattoos, like the one in the Hangover.
Tom Cruise as Stacee Jaxx in Rock of Ages was Aging-Brunet-Mortal!Lestat. Just look at this dude. Crucifix on the forearm, pistols on the waistband-area… a dragon curling around a pec, batwings on his back… ugh my heart.
Tom Cruise, “Rock of Ages” (Adam Shankman, 2012).
Such a Lestat move. He would totally buy cases of beer just to pop all the tops off. Bottlecaps all over the place. Louis continuing to find them rolled under furniture long after.
