#lestat x nicki

[vampireamadao]

Don't think about how lestat traveled to heaven and hell, and he searched for his first love, Nicky there in both.. and felt he was in neither. Where did Nicky go when he died? Where do vampires go when they die? Is he still in the ashes? Is he in the wind? Is he all around Lestat, forever? Where did his soul go? What happened to Nicky?

A rare moment of bliss before all hell broke loose. I wonder what might have happened, had Lestat not been born to Darkness...

[creativelycomplex]

Delainey Hayles and Joseph Potter aka Claudia and Nicki, hanging out together. The implications of these two hanging out!! Watch both of them haunt Lestat next season, I can’t fucking wait.

book vers. nicki/lestat to add to the collection <3

[magiccharmss]

the relationships between characters in interview with the vampire remind me of those 2020 discord servers where there were like 500 things blacklisted and everyone was dating each other.

If Lestat was a poet/writer he whould be Oscar Wild

AND I CAN PROVE IT...

[brasilestat]

Silent and lethal, I felt myself flooded with the power I had over him and his knowledge of it, and my love for him heated the sense of power, driving it towards a scorching embarrassment which suddenly changed into something else

Missing Nicki a lot rn

[savagewildnerness]

I don’t wish to acknowledge it…

But perhaps why I struggle with S2E7 is it cements Lestat-as-villain in a way the book IWTV NEVER does, despite that in general the TV show conveys more of the real Lestat than IWTV, of course!

BUT!

It’s not wrong of me to NEED my Lestat, is it?

And I fear I express this from the perspective of myself who may be closest to Nicolas de Lenfent

My Lestat’s LIGHT…

IWTV has consumed me. My mind cannot be quieted and therefore may I present for your consideration

my theory for what we're getting in Season 3:

(spoilers for seasons 1 &2)

We begin fully in the context of a behind the band style documentary.

Lestat being interviewed by Daniel (!!!) Often intercut by concert footage (!!!!!!) and behind the scenes footage of him being a diva backstage (screaming, crying, breaking my teeth on the furniture).

As he tells his story we get the same treatment as with Louis, being shown events as he remembers them, going back into his history pre-Louis. His human life, Magnus, Paris, Nicolaus, Armand (I am ready for a POV that is SO petty) and all the turmoil leading up to New Orleans. But very intentionally, Marius is left out. Daniel senses something being glossed over and WILL be poking that bear repeatedly.

Only once we get to New Orleans will we get any access to current Lestat beyond the context of the interview.

While we're getting Lestat's side of the events in S1-2 (probably minimal as to not feel too repetitive) we'll see a new arrangement for Louis/Lestat where they are not together constantly. Instead, they meet each other in whatever cities Lestat's tour takes him whenever they miss each other, and when they start to get too annoyed with one another Louis goes off again on his own. Lestat hates this (sad boy hours when Louis leaves, baby slut hours a few days later) but cannot deny it works for them and will do anything to keep Louis coming back home to him. They both have dalliances on their own, Louis keeps up his ethical feeding, Lestat does not. (He loves to give out coke and then drink it back up, really leaning into his rockstar lifestyle.) The combination of excessive debauchery and rehashing his trauma will lead to a spiral that causes Loustat tensions and another separation period (perhaps ghost or dream Claudia who torments him/he tortures himself with so we have her in more than just flashbacks).

Through flashbacks we see that Lestat used his arsenal of abilities to rocket to stardom and has been revealing his vampirism to get the heat off of Louis. Now, with all eyes on him and his mindset compromised, he sends out a message to those who have threatened them: he knows the location of "those who must be kept" and any attempt on their lives will result in him ending the entire species.

Throughout all this we will get moments from other POVs such as Daniel's turning and Armand taking off. Armand is in the wind and won't be seen in current day for most of the season (we cry). Louis is finally off learning about vampire history in his travels. He learns about Marius and his history with Lestat (upset!). Having left a self-destructive Lestat, he encounters Gabrielle (!!!) who demands to be taken to Lestat.

We wrap up with Gabrielle and Louis in the audience during Lestat's livestreamed concert that devolves into an on stage breakdown. Meanwhile Armand has found Marius and together wake Akasha by showing her the concert. He is primed to run from his troubles (and into Akasha's arms) when she finds him, setting up Queen of the Damned.

He reached out and put his arm around my neck and kissed me. We almost upset the table we were so blissfully drunk.

"My lord, the wolfkiller," he whispered.

Nicki and Lestat's first kiss at the inn, back when the bad stuff had yet to happen...

[forgotn1]

Lestat talking to his crush (Nicki) for the first time and immediately fucking it up is a Mood™.

[nightcolorz]

There r only two explanations for Nicolas never coming back in any form throughout tvc when Lestat both literally goes to heaven and hell and then every dead character is revealed to be either alive or a ghost, and one of which is that Claudia’s ghost upon meeting him immediately bodied his ass. Lestat is always like where is Nicki? Is he at peace? Why isn’t he in hell? Why isn’t he a ghost?, meanwhile Nicki has been blipped from existence for centuries ever since Claudia got to vampire afterlife and instantly unhinged her jaw and consumed him. They didn’t even have an altercation to prompt this Claudia just smelled a shitty gay cunt who was meaningful to Lestat and knew that he needed to go to super hell forever.

The only other explanation is that Nicki is alive and he’s been hiding out with the knowledge that if he shows up he will be a part of these fuck ass stupid ass books against his will, so he only makes his presence known after the series is definitively finished under threat of second divorce
