Musings but something abou amc lestat puts me off so bad because for all he is a looming totalitarian patriarch father he also has these demure and coquettish parts of him in a way i cant explain… he has so many masks that he’s lost himself in them lyke… he’s wearing the mask of the seductress he’s wearing his fathers face he’s the corrupted he’s the corrupter. he’s been acting ever since he stood on that stage in 1780 and can’t stop because to take of the mask is to take off the armour that protects him from the fact that underneath all that monstrousness there is a boy who really needs an antipsychotic. what is going on with you queen
#out of everything in the vampire lestat what really resonated with me about lestats character was his true yearning and want to be good.#he values goodness above all so when he doesn’t want to realize that he can’t be good he’s bad. he’s evil on purpose but only because if he#tried to be good he would fail.#but lestat genuinely cant take the atrocities he commits so he bangs his head against the wall but then repeats it anyways. lol.#i mean lestat should probably realize that if he let louis see the players in the wings instead of the actors with their elaborate#performances maybe he… maybe he….#iwtv#lestat de lioncourt#this isnt lestat apologism i support womens rights and wrongs#i just need to get this man a psych eval. thanks.#and THIS is why hes the character of all time. he serves everything and looks hot doing it.
