#vampireboy
That is an awful legacy of names! Lestat and also Alucard aka that name low budget horror films would use when they couldn’t buy the rights to dracula/subtly foreshadow the fact that their character was a vampire shhh secret though. I want a fucking reality tv series of #vampireboy
It must be strange growing up with a fictional character’s name, especially as a “Lestat” baby. Whenever I mention the series there’s a chance I’ll get negativity bc there’s still homophobia out there, etc. I actually do try to bring it up relatively soon when deciding on making a new friend, bc if they reveal themselves to be homophobic or otherwise treat the VC like it’s shameful in any regard, then I don’t really want to waste my time with that person.
But I don’t think I could name a future son of mine "Lestat.“ Maybe I’d choose one of the more normal names, and there are plenty! I’ve seen alot of cat and dog (and apparently there’s a mule in NOLA?) Lestats, and a few young boys named Lestat on the interwebs. Kids will tease anyone for any reason, having a strange name won’t help this "Lestat-Armon Alucard.”
Noteworthy: I met a little Akasha (2 yrs old!) at a booksigning. She definitely lived up to the name, throwing such a tantrum that she had to be removed from the building by her father, she never got to meet her maker AR.
(^This is not her mom in the pic. Just a fan thrilled to hold Akasha in her arms!)
