When I finished the VC I didn’t know if I could emotionally invest myself in another series ever again.
I hope you enjoy this tomfoolery!! ^^ love, yaknow-prince
Your fanart is beauteous, I love it, #PERFECT JUST PERFECT, heaps of praise! #claiming u in the name of our fandom.
OMG yes! I had a few 1700′s style (or 70′s 1700′s revival…) shirts as a teen, and the tugging motion of pulling those laces from the jacket sleeves is very familiar! Though I didn’t wear leather, I had a ugly burgundy velvet jacket. And I drove a bicycle, not a sports car. (This was mainly David Bowie’s fault, I didn’t read VC until I was 18…) That motion/gif reminds me of listening to glam rock from my walkman and feeling like the most bad ass under-appreciated 14 year old hot mess in town.
Ugly burgundy velvet jacket is also VC. There’s definitely some David Bowie in Lestat (fashion, looks, attitude, musical prowess, etc!). Especially Jareth!Bowie.
Goblin King vs. Brat Prince? I always thought these two moments were worth comparing and now you’ve given me an adequate excuse to do it! They’re both pining for the affections of a brunette… they both use a kid to try to hold onto their brunette… So many comparisons…
Lestat (and Jareth!) is kinda the most bad ass under-appreciated 1421200+ year old hot mess in town.
I can’t remember when, but Lestat specifically mentioned that vampires are adept at figuring tech out, it’s one of their gifts (synapses firing on more cylinders than mere mortals?) + their advantage being students of mankind and tech evolution.
So, on what substantially literary grounds have I been so affectionately snarky about Lestat’s difficult relationship with technology all this time? Oh the harm I caused!
Ahh Blood Canticle and Blackwood Farm, probably. Heh
Those, probably, yes. Snark is always welcome, tho, Lestat would probably agree that #Any attention, even bad, is better than no attention #Lestat de LimelightHog.
I think there is some iPhone-related adoration & frustration mentioned (which I headcanon away as being Lestat frustrated at other things and merely scapegoating onto his phone), and also Lestat’s seeming insistence on using WordStar to write each of his memoirs long after it was outdated? I think?
omg you must’ve looked wickedly cool. It’s an excellent combo. The girlier the lace, the grungier the leather, the better.
Re: it being an iconic moment: Oh I agree! It’s one of his most iconic moments in the movie, for sure, specifically bc it relates to fashion and a little bit about just being comfortable; bc when sleeves are bunched up like that it limits your range of motion, not good for driving but i digress. AND because we can see his hands are back to normal, he’s definitely feeling better already, and ready for another adventure… with Daniel this time!
I actually don’t know! Purposely. Ignorance is bliss. I’m just grateful we haven’t suffered a crossover of BV/VC.
I’m gonna redirect you to hyperbeeb, who is taking one for the team and reading the first one in the- has read the first one and is now reading the whole series?! Her tag for this journey into madness is #Mary reads the blood vivicanti
