      “My— What an intrusive question,  étranger gris. But I shall humour you none the less…” Lestat paused and tapped at his chin thoughtfully, a low hum rising from his chest. “I imagine I’m not allowed to use any blood sampling moments, as there are far too many and that would be an easy answer—” his grin turned devious as his eyes bored into the stranger’s own…

     ”I would have to say it was the night I allowed a delightful mademoiselle to put her corset on me. How it tightened and constricted was glorious and suffocating. I looked like ‘pure sex’ according to her as she added more to my “ensemble”. By the end of it I was dressed up more like a tart than she and it was exhilarating. I let her live after that moment and frequented her regularly for those games of ours. It’s a pity she died three months later at the hands of a violent pick pocket.”

What are some of your favorite Lestat facts and head canons? (Book and IWTV movie versions)

Leave a comment

Are you the same Anon who asked me this a month ago? Why ask me when there are perfectly wonderful Lestat RPers who have full writeups about him, as well? I’ve listed them again at the end of this post.

I have alot of headcanons, and really, these are the seeds for fic/RPs. Headcanons come from canon, author interviews, and fanfic/RP. When they come from fanfic/RP, it’s ideas that fans have developed to answer the gaps left in canon, so they’re kind of preciously guarded until they are written into fic and released that way. 

Go to my headcanon accepted tag for headcanons of others that I’ve agreed with ;] but gdi you twisted my arm, so here’s a little peek into my own headcanons… in general strokes. I wouldn’t say favorites. Just ideas that are floating around, begging to be written as fic. They apply to book!Lestat more than movie!Lestat, I guess.

  • Lestat’s birthday is November 7. This is undisputed. He always acts like he couldn’t care less, but if nothing happens that night, he’s wildly offended and can sulk for weeks or more afterwards. So Louis has calendar reminders far in advance so he can arrange an appropriately decadent outing/event/gift of some kind.
  • What do you get the man who has everything and can do anything? Experiences. Everyone in Lestat’s inner circle try to set aside the norm in order to try to give him a unique thrill for his birthday. More often than not they just decide to give him what he wants in the bedroom 😉
  • Lestat knows the date that he was turned and does not celebrate it, but spends it in service to others somehow; being kept busy for that entire night is especially important. He does not like to be in France on that night. 
  • Lestat will lapse into paralysis when overcome with emotion, and Louis is the best at drawing him back out of it, with gentle touches and soothing words, or a little blood-dipped kiss, but even he usually just has to wait until Lestat resurfaces on his own. Sometimes Lestat is not himself if he’s “woken up” from it and it’s jarring to watch.
  • Lestat is a believer in Retail Therapy and has bought things immediately after or during an argument (even something as simple as a pair of shades at a gas station) in order to regain control of his emotions. It’s partly because he enjoys the whole exchange he has with the retail person.
  • Lestat had time to know his little sister, and mourned her loss, but didn’t write about it, ever, because it was too painful. She died young, she didn’t have enough hand-eye coordination developed yet to learn to hunt with him, but he wanted that for her so badly, and Gabrielle would have allowed it. 
  • Lestat has a recent foot fetish. About his own feet. He can spend hours in a CVS picking out nail colors and he paints his toenails himself. He has 3 shoeboxes full of colors and glitters. Louis dislikes the smell, so Lestat will do it in the courtyard and wait until dry before showing off his artwork. 
  • Lestat used to paint Claudia’s little fingernails. He did all sorts of girly activities with her, since it was difficult to find any children her age to befriend her.

Lestat RPers I’ve seen and enjoy watching (in no special order): askthebratprince, eternallyfabulousbratlestat, monsieur-le-rockstar, maestrolestat, gorgeous-fiend, princelestat, primusdux, asavagegardenindeed, lestattheonetruepope, mortcharmant

I’m also tagging viaticumforthemarquise, who, as his mother, has her own headcanons about her son. 

And merciful-death, who, as his #1 bitch, has his own headcanons about his maker.

As a mortal you catch glimpses of infinity: the vast expanse of outer space when you look up into the night sky, mathematical equations that never come clean and never repeat, black holes, perfect circles, figure eights. These are all abstract concepts, however. They are  far removed from you and easy to put in the back of your mind as they carry no relevance. It keeps you from going mad.

It is not so simple for an immortal, as the only truly relevant thing is infinity and yet it is still incomprehensible. Inescapable. There is no brushing it off when you look at a face and see an entire universe hidden in just the eyes alone.  Imagine then, looking into the sky and seeing the same. You see yourself reflected everywhere  and you think yes, I am this. I am the infinite made tangible and solid.

It drives many to the brink of insanity.

For myself, even after all this time, I feel nothing but absolute and dazzling  power.

my life became 600% better when i started acting like a self obsessed piece of shit like 10/10 would recommend

even if u don’t actually genuinely love yourself its fuckin fun to act like you think you’re the human embodiment of perfection go on try it life’s too short to not fall in love with yourself

– Lestat de Lioncourt (basically)

Show Armand some love. Write him a note expressing it, please? I’m begging ya! This whole Fuck/Marry/Kill game is upsetting him bc people keep choosing to kill him! Is Armand really so expendable? To everyone? *cries*

Of the thousands of immortals immolated in the rise of Akasha, Armand was one of the precious few who remained. And why is that do you wonder? There is nothing mysterious to it, in fact it is made quite plain.

As much as we grind on each other, at the very bottom of the bitterness, resentment, and jealousy Armand is a beloved of mine. He is my dark brother whom I have known almost the entirety of my immortality. Life with out him would seem…incomplete.

To answer your question is Armand expendable? Absolutely not.

My brain decided to have another epiphany so here we go.

Some people don’t like Jamie Campbell Bower as Lestat because “he looks too weird”.  

I am going to point out that Lestat was born in the late 1700s. Many of you already knew this, of course. However, something people fail to keep in mind is that back then, modern medicine, cosmetology, and dentistry did not exist yet.

You would be extremely lucky to have what today considers ‘perfect teeth’, where they are stark-white and completely straight, free of cosmetic blemishes.

As someone that has had braces in her past to fix a rather nasty snaggletooth problem, I can vouch for the fact that how your teeth look in an ‘architectural sense’, affects the way the rest of your face looks as well. It affects your jawline and most importantly, your side profile. My two front incisors used to overlap and I looked very odd, to say the least. I think I still look a little odd, but not really in a bad way. After I got my braces off, my side profile changed completely because my teeth gave me a slight overbite because of how they sat. What I lack in some areas of ‘aesthetically pleasing’ features, I make up for in others.

Why is this included in here, of all places? Because it provides a scientific viewpoint which others might overlook. Do you recall how dirty Louis and Claudia’s teeth were in the movie for Interview with the Vampire and how their transformations whitened their teeth and enhanced their natural beauty? Vampirism takes what is naturally beautiful about you, and enhances it to as perfect as it can get.

To say that Lestat was “aesthetically perfect” in every way as a mortal would be entirely unrealistic, to me. Nobody’s face claim is going to be ‘perfect’ for Lestat, not even Jamie Campbell Bower. 

There will always be inconsistencies, everywhere you look. But it’s not really even whether or not I find him perfect. It’s his imperfections that make him perfect, to me. And perhaps that’s what Magnus found in Lestat – his imperfections gave him an indescribable yet authentic beauty and Magnus wanted to immortalize those features by turning Lestat into a vampire, even thought Lestat did not want it. It was okay with Magnus that Lestat had a few things here and there that weren’t completely perfect; he found him extraordinarily beautiful, regardless.

Personality has a lot of importance to me when choosing face claims for the characters I portray. The reason people like RPing with my characters is my characterization and attention to detail. I try my best to bring the people I write to life in the most accurate way I possibly can, taking into consideration how much I know about that character. Some people I have written with in the past have poor characterization and that in itself makes it hard for me to write with certain individuals. I feel like I’m talking to the writer, not the character.

While I have seen a lot of wonderful face claims for Lestat, and all of them are beautiful in their own ways to me (especially Jeremy Dufour), I like Jamie because he has a TON of videos, pictures and gifs where I can look at them and say “I see Lestat, there”. The other face claims are nice too, but some of them are obscure enough to where they don’t have barely any pictures.

Let’s be real here, people. Lestat is, or would be, a total camera whore.

Anyway, that concludes my little essay and another section of my silly little “Why I Use JCB For Lestat Chronicles”.

“There will always be inconsistencies, everywhere you look. But it’s not really even whether or not I find him perfect. It’s his imperfections that make him perfect, to me. And perhaps that’s what Magnus found in Lestat – his imperfections gave him an indescribable yet authentic beauty and Magnus wanted to immortalize those features by turning Lestat into a vampire, even though Lestat did not want it. It was okay with Magnus that Lestat had a few things here and there that weren’t completely perfect; he found him extraordinarily beautiful, regardless.”

“TL;DR” no really this is a valid point and well-voiced!
