Favorite Random Lestat facts
I have insomnia and vampires on the brain, so here are some of my favorite random Lestat facts, in no particular order:
He stole decorating ideas for his chateau from Armandโs Trinity Gate
His fingernails were a little too long when he died, so he files them, though they regrow every night
He liked to spend hours polishing his own coffin as a meditative exercise
As a human, he never liked to masturbate, heโd just go out and find someone to have sex with
When heโs not with Louis, he always thinks Louis canโt possibly be as attractive as heโs remembering him, but then when he sees Louis again, heโs like, โNope, he really is that hotโ
Despite his vanity, he thinks heโs one of the most conventional and boring looking vampires youโll ever see, and ordinary and uninteresting compared to the cooler vampires
He thinks his best feature is his expression
When he was human, he never had much beard and didnโt have to shave often
Heโll always mention when people are taller than him, so we know anyone whose height isnโt given must be less than six feet
He knows how to tap dance
The other vampires think of him as a poet
Most dogs instinctually hate him, and being rejected by a dog makes him sad every time
Except for with Akasha, he never killed a human that wasnโt a meal
Even as a baby vampire, he had the power to toss Louis across the room with a flick of his wrist, but would still let Louis hold him back and whale on him just to get his rage out
He absolutely adored Claudia and thought of her as his mini-me
In the decade he lived with Antoine (1860-1871), he never wanted to go out in public because he was ashamed of his burn scars
Heโs a voracious reader
He only wears black socks
Heโs a serial walker, not even going anywhere, just walks for hours
He performed a rock concert in a full Bela Lugosi Dracula costume and never took off his suit or cape even though he was sweating buckets. Thatโs commitment to the bit.
Even though heโs good at it, flying always frightens him on an existential level and fills him with despair
Despite his love of fine clothes, heโll wear the same outfit for weeks or months until it becomes rags
His list of things that make existence worth it: the blazing warmth of fires and caresses, kisses and arguments, love and longing and blood (emphasis on the longing)
His love language is gift giving (but not receiving)
He never shows any skin in public other than his face (and soooometimes hands)
He doesnโt like how white his hair turned after repeated burnings, and wishes it was more yellow
He gets really angry at the thought of Louis being embarrassed or insulted by others
He is incapable of expressing big feelings out loud, so he writes them all down instead
He wants everyone to remember how scary he really is
He doesnโt like blood with alcohol in it because it makes him dizzy
His mom came up with his name by combining the first letters of his 6 older brothers' names, and it means absolutely nothing
