'The old mysteries have given way to a new style. And who knows what will follow? There's no romance in what you are. There is great romance in what I am!'
independent lestat de lioncourt of anne rice's vampire chronicles. book canon only. occasionally nsfw.
est. 2021 - resurrected in 2024.
rules under the cut. please read before interacting!
about the mun: i'm sam, she/they, and i've been a fan of the vampire chronicles (and of lestat) for 21 years!
no minors: i'm 35 so i'm not comfortable writing with anyone under 21. this is non negotiable.
on shipping:
lestat is a romantic and he loves many other vampires (and sometimes even mortals), so i'm happy to write shippy things with mutuals if a) it's discussed beforehand, b) if there's chemistry there and c) if it makes sense! however i am pretty picky about this. i love him with armand, marius, and of course with louis.
i am mains/ship-exlusive with @sangcreole's portrayal of louis.
i'm not interested in writing lestat as being strictly monogamous. i love the idea that vampire relationships transcend mortal ideals of monogamy! you'd better believe he'd go to bed with armand, marius, david --- any of the ones he loves, if he had the chance.
no godmodding:
pretty self explanatory! lestat doesn't like being forced to do anything he doesn't want to do, and i don't like it either.
on this blog's content:
there will be nsfw content here. due to the nature of the vampire chronicles and of lestat, this blog features canon-compliant violence, canon-compliant vampire blood drinking/sharing, and occasionally prince lestat era canon-compliant sex. be warned!
verses:
this blog is strictly based on the books, and my default is post-canon, after blood communion. i will also not write with any amc blogs, as that show is not canon to me. rolin jones's lestat is not anne's lestat, therefore he is not my lestat.
everything else:
we don't need to be mutuals for you to send in an ask meme or interact, but i will not accept any asks or comments from non-rp blogs.
i'm not a big fan of people jumping on the first person pov memes i've answered and responding to them in character in reblogs. i treat these dialogue-only memes as an exercise in honing lestat's voice and digging into his thoughts, not as a starting point for a thread. however, if you've sent me a proper rp prompt and you want to continue it, then by all means!
i'm not really big on aus. i love the canon (sadly, i also might be one of the few in the rpc who adores the prince lestat trilogy lol) and i love post-canon, and for me the fun lies in all the missing scenes in between and beyond that have been left to be filled in. i want to keep my portrayal as close to anne's version of lestat as i can.
if you reblog a meme list from me, please send me something from it! if you don't feel like it, reblog it from the op.
