pinned post

this is short and sweet because i am only gonna be writing with friends here LMAO. given the subject matter of the show and the themes of abuse, unreliable narration, and complicated dynamics in it, i'm not comfortable writing lestat with people i don't know.

mutuals only, can't stress this enough. if i'm not following you on this blog, please don't interact.

based exclusively on the show under the assumption that a LOT of louis' retelling of the story has been warped by armand. however, lestat is still a toxic dick and i'm not here for anyone claiming louis is actually the problem here or whatever else. it's about The Nuance Of It All.

ns.fw will be tagged with '#spicy text for ts' so you can blacklist that.

love, wilds

Christian is going to give Lestat the most fondest of looks and tell him he is loved and appreciated!!!!

"Flattery will get you everywhere..."

It's the soft, beckoning tone Christian has heard him use in various other contexts read: vanilla carnal lust. This time, though, there's a tenderness in his voice he can't hide. Touched by the earnestness of it, the sincerity of it, he reaches over and cups Christian's face in both hands, pulling him into a lingering, deep kiss with an eagerness that borders on clingy.

Christian sends one (1) heart emoji (would send it from his ask blog BUT WELP)

@sanguineandcellos

He's SPAMMING Christian's phone with sparkling heart emojis--

--and showing up uninvited at his door. :)

Lestat would totally do the ‘would you love me if I were a worm’ thing and cry if Louis said no

Daddy Lou said I had been away from people too long. I didn’t know how to behave right anymore. But Uncle Les said, I behaved just fine.

[ 𝐒𝐎𝐅𝐓 ] ― sender wraps a soft blanket around receiver’s shoulders. claudia can have some comfort. as a treat.

Claudia's dozing, head on her diary which is propped on the arm of the sofa. Today's entry stops abruptly half way through, fading away into a little squiggle where she'd fallen asleep mid-word. She stirs when she feels a gentle weight about her shoulders. Blearily, she lifts her head and pulls the blanket a little more securely about herself. "Thanks, Daddy L - oh." Not Louis, after all. For a moment, she's unsure what she's supposed to say, but she decides that she doesn't need to be awkward about it. Quick as a flash, she pulls Lestat down onto the sofa next to her and cuddles in close before he can get up. "Guess we're having a nap together. You're a more comfy pillow that that silly old book, anyway."

[discerningbrat]

For a vicious moment, Lestat considers yanking the precious diary out from under her and throwing it into the fire; or reading it aloud, all of Claudia's secrets that she only shares with Louis laid bare, and watching her scream or scowl and hate him for it. He doesn't, of course. But for that single instant, where his fledgling reminds him that Daddy Louis is where she goes for comfort and Uncle Lestat is a poor substitute despite his best efforts, he really does consider it.

He is just starting to form a thoroughly insincere smile when Claudia grabs his arm and yanks, so much stronger than a bird-boned frame like hers should allow, and Lestat has little choice but to wrap his arm around her shoulders and smile in the tight, uncomfortable way of someone who had moments before been close to snapping.

"Yes, of that I have no doubt," he says dryly, pale eyes flickering towards the old diary. He exhales, tightening his arm around Claudia and fidgeting until they're both a little more comfortable, his chin resting on her head. "I intended only to give you the blanket and leave you to your sweet little dreams until Daddy Lou returns to us, but now you've gone and held me hostage--to sleep half an evening away is a waste, but fine. For you, anything."
