lestat is a delightful and infuriating protagonist. the part in TVL where he loses his shit when marius shows him the king and queen is so very endearing (well it’s endearing if you’re not armand i guess)
Totally endearing! Armand is kinda charmed too but he would never admit such bc he jelly that Marius told/showed ‘Stat stuff Armand didn’t seeee
I actually don’t watch it enough to say I’m a real Fannibal but I’ve seen some. I loved the Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal Rising, and Red Dragon. Lestat and Hannibal could make a great Murder Brothers team.
Lestat would take the blood and Hannibal could take the bodies. Nothing wasted!
Bonus 1: (Lestat gifs are mine, Hannibal gifs by lecterings)
I have to agree with you on that. It’s a very ballsy anthem, a very, “I may not know everything about this world, but when I get knocked down, hell if I’m gonna let it keep me down!”
There’s a mention of a guy in it, and it’s easy to see this as a young and fragile Lestat:
He was no more (He was no more) Than a baby then Well, he seemed broken hearted Somethin’ within him But the moment That I first laid Eyes on him All alone on the edge of seventeen
He’s only ever wanted to be loved, if you look at all the instances of him Doing the Thing, it was in pursuit of that goal. Religion taught him that to be loved, you must be Good. The idea is that Goodness makes one worthy of love, even when his religious beliefs have waned. The trouble is that his formative years were a confusing series of neglect and abuse (with little love from Gabrielle), the first real love he ever really shared was probably with Nicolas. And that ended pretty badly ;A;
So he still struggles with how to love (and not merely possess), and be loved (allow people to love him).
Yessss, I received those! I’m still thinking about them!
^this could be a text from either one of them tbh…
I’m sorry, normally I CAN and do reply within a few days, as part of my Being the Active and Responsive VC Blogger I Want to See in the World. I actually have a backlog of a number of asks… It’s very unusual that I don’t reply within a few days. I’ll try to get my inbox cleared this week, promis juré! (”pinky swear!” learned this from takemetocoffin-or-losemeforever <3)
I could say the reason I didn’t reply is that “I’m busy,” but that’s also often used as a blanket excuse answer, so I’ll prove it:
I’ve had a flurry of fanwork inspiration in the past 2 weeks; some recent RPing, I was working on a ficlet for a fandom friend’s birthday that I posted recently, and another 2 ficlets that I haven’t posted yet (1 is ready and the other is not), and before that I made two VC parody videos [1, my first original post to break 10K notes!! zomg!] and [2 which features a snippet of Britney Spears music aww yisss]…
ALSO I have a personal rule that I try not to post more than 10x a day, I don’t want to spam y’all and I think I’m over my limit today. Even though fanworks are happy spam (ノ°∀°)ノ’.:*・°☆
SPECIFICALLY THOSE ASKS THOUGH:
I guess it’s hard because in terms of music, that’s a big answer, and I’m trying to think of ways to answer it without it being a Wall of Text™ because noone wants to read that much…
Aaaand the Louis question is also hard because that’s another potential Wall of Text™ because there are so many things I think he’d love! And there’s the question of does he get to decide where he is when it happens? Maybe he’d want to go somewhere outside NOLA for a daylight experience.
So I’m still percolating on those and all my asks, please be patient, it’s always worth the wait from Mater Fabuloso, oui?
