How are you preparing for this epic journey?

[virginiaisforvampires]

Do y’all ever think about Lestat asking himself what he’d done to deserve the witches’ fate? A metaphorical death at the hands of Magnus stalking him, abducting him, abusing him, and raping him into being a vampire. Then abandoning him as this unknown thing, this being that had to kill to survive? Do y’all ever think about the fact Lestat was good? He was the gentle one, the dreamer, the lover. His brothers abused him. His father abused him. His mother emotionally neglected him. They forced him into living in the monotonous misery that was their life in Auvergne. No hope of escaping, never learning what it all meant. Do y’all ever think about the fact Lestat was shocked that people liked him when he was at school in the monastery? He was amazed that the people there believed he was worthy of being treated with kindness and that he was valuable in that he could be taught things. Do y’all ever think about the fact his brothers took him away from that school? Do y’all ever think about the fact Lestat couldn’t read and could barely write his own name due to his father and brothers abusing him and keeping him uneducated on purpose? Do y’all ever think about the fact Lestat finally tried to escape to do what he loved with a theater troupe only for his brothers to take him away from that too and beat him severely numerous times in the aftermath? Do y’all ever think about the fact Lestat’s family would’ve starved to death if it wasn’t for Lestat being their hunter and provider even though they treated him like utter shit? He dreamed of killing his father and brothers, but when he got the opportunity, he couldn’t bring himself to do it. His father was dying, and Lestat was still taking care of him and providing for him when it would’ve been so easy to just let the old bastard die in a home somewhere. Do y’all ever think about how happy Lestat was with Nicki in Paris? How he finally had a taste of something good in his shit life until it was all ripped away at the hands of Magnus, and Lestat was sobbing and asking himself what he’d done to deserve it. Do y’all ever think about that? Cause I think about it. All the time. He didn’t want this, and there’s just something sooooo relatable about that down to the very marrow of my bones and the depths of my soul. 💔

Now, I'm getting into the coffin, and you will get in on top of me if you know what's good for you.

“You had to kill me but it killed you just the same…”

“Was he deliberately creating those long, pure liquid notes to say that beauty meant nothing because it came from the despair inside him, and it had nothing to do with the despair finally, because the despair wasn't beautiful, and beauty then was a horrid irony?”

A friend sent me a Tiktok that was going into such bad takes on Lestat (like that he wanted Louis and Claudia to die for example) that even though Lestat is not my No. 1, I took those as fighting words and went on a rant to my friends on how bad the take was and came out as a hardcore Lestat defender.

...all this to say, you have put up with this kind of bs for alllll this time and Lestat *is* your No. 1. You truly are one of the universe's strongest soldiers. ❤️ I salute you. 🫡

I mean, like I’ve said before, I would go to war for Lestat de Lioncourt. I know the baby I fell in love with over a decade ago, and my love for him outweighs all else. 😁♥️

Louis and Lestat

So many things in this scene that I have noticed and I don't know If anyone mentioned it or not but here I go again . Louis and Lestat holding each other for the first time after 77 years . Louis holding Lestat's neck so protectively , kissing his temple and corner of his lips . Holding his arms in a manner which seems he's giving him a motivational speech to make him stay strong although he was not strong himself once and he's gonna be strong from now on . The way Lestat was holding Louis's jacket , looking at Louis like a little child . Can you believe we're gonna see more of these interactions in S3 and later seasons ??

Love until we bleed 🩸

[greensaplinggrace]

I actually like it when ships hurt each other in long lasting and unforgiveable ways. I like it when they leave vicious, glaring scars. I like when they leave traumas. I like when they stab each other and torture each other and ruin each other’s lives and violate every inch of each other’s values. and I like it when they fucking kill each other permanently dead.
