“Shout out to cloudsinvenice! Her insights on the characters and books are always a treat to read, and have pointed me things that I would’ve never thought on my own & that have made the entire VC canon more enjoyable. She’s also the kindest, most welcoming and understanding person ever to grace the world of fandom, who just naturally seems to go the extra mile to make everybody feel welcomed. She deserves a big mental hug for being so great in all matters.”
ikr?? Thank u! Just look at his face! that little twinkle of expectant hope in his eye! ;A;
So many thoughts on this one TEENSY ACTING MOMENT… feels like so much is conveyed in like 4 seconds. Mostly it’s someone who loves too much but can’t be open with the object of his affection, he’s holding back these secrets that even if he were allowed to tell him (which he is not bc Marius threatened such intense retribution) would probably end up driving Louis away, if not crazy.
The “Don’t Fucking Cry” sentiment is smtg I got from Tony Stark, though. liquorandptsdvarietyshow is the one who enlightened me on the striking comparison that can be made of Lestat and Tony, and even Tony/Steve and Lestat/Louis. Not going to go into a lot of detail here on that. Maybe another time.
I definitely think Lestat would understand the whole “Stark men are made of Iron, and don’t show weakness, GRRRR” thing. He doesn’t particularly identify it as a de Lioncourt men trait, but he is a consummate actor, and he has built a beautiful shell to protect himself from the onslaught of shit happening some of which he brings on himself, of course, in the pursuit of doing good.
Deep down they both want to be loved and give love in return, and they struggle to make and maintain those connections while still wearing a suit, whether it’s made of iron or emotional barriers ;A;
“i-want-my-iwtv is a fantastic blog. The blog runner is a passionate fan whose loves for the series shines through in all of their memes, humor posts, and discussion posts, and they do an awesome Lestat RP to boot!”
Armand & Lestat (The Vampire Chronicles by Ane Rice) – Murder brothers
Armand by chrissydeath Lestat de Lioncourt by honey-in-the-sunshine ~ Well, after i-want-my-iwtv’s tags I had to post our partner cosplay alias the murder brothers. I also don’t want to hide the after-selfie of:
ASjjfhGLds! And my heart grew at least 3 sizes this day. It’s this scene reenacted, I assume…
“Last year I got a message from a beautiful girl who asked with all her courage how lovely and great my cosplay of Armand is and if I would wear it with her as Lestat on a convention. One month ago she became my girlfriend, and helps me find a way reducing my selfhate and lose the suicidal behavior. Thank you Armand, thank you Vampire Chronicles!”

(♛ Lestat here, darlings. Mun was tagged but I felt like answering these, so I am dictating these answers.)
Oh My Self, there are SO MANY things that make me happy, and there are so many different kinds of “happy”. I’ll keep these to the more easily attainable joys, in no particular order:
1) Pushing people’s buttons (literally and figuratively, I do have a thing for buttons).
2) S H O P P I N G (Dolce & Gabbana, NOT Brooks Bros, ffs)
3) Piggyback rides (hard to believe? I love both giving and receiving these).
4) Comics. Vintage. Although I do enjoy the illustration of modern “graphic novels” like the Sandman series.
5) Ridiculing inferior vampire “literature” (aggressive quotations marks there, mes petits).
6) The smell of fresh bedsheets.
7) The smell of bloody bedsheets.
8) Bruce Springsteen (the musician himself and his works)(That reminds me, I may have to add him to our coven… he is a treasure).
9) Shiny things
10) That feeling after feeding from someone and letting them live.
11) That feeling after feeding from someone and dispatching them to the next plane of existence.
12) Talking/writing/singing about myself.
13) When anyone else is talking/writing/singing about myself.
14) Cultural entertainment (watching or performing).
15) Sexytimes with MY and noone else’s gdi! beloved Louis, who belongs entirely to me *smooches*
Tagging: any of my followers, I simply couldn’t choose favorites ❤
This makes me happy as well. I am in love with this post.
