* also included the cordeliers, who split from the jacobines in 1791

absolutely self-indulgent poll. but. anne rice had lestat turned into vampire and out of france by 1793 (he turned louis in 1791). however, the tv series will have to do lestat in the heart of revolutionary events in paris.

so, based on what we've seen in two seasons and the books, where would you place the brat prince?

#i'm slowly writing a fic about lestat's ten-ish missing years between 1781 (book turning) and 1794 (tv turning)#it's fun to figure that out & i'm genuinely curious about everyone's opinion #i'm tempted to say hébertists if only because lestat's rationalism (as way of engaging with phylosophical problems #not emotions)#and his atheism are his defining vampiric traits in the paris chapters of TVL #and i don't see lestat having any positive feeling about the old regime considering how much belonging to aristocracy f*cked him over #(my father the vulgar man.... did not think much of this education......)#talking about how he was taken from monastery because the family didn’t have enough money to buy him a church position becoming of his clas #and of course there's s possibility that lestat wouldn't care but (unlike the book) he'll have to live in paris from 1789 in order #not to die with his family #and i can't understand why he wouldn't #iwtv #tvc #lestat de lioncourt #the vampire lestat #*becoming of his class
