“Lestat is bi,” I say into a microphone.

The biphobes and media illiterates boo.

“They’re right,” come a soothing French voice and an astute writerly voice.

The voices in question are Anne Rice and Lestat de Lioncourt himself.

I love it when characters are so messed up they cannot even comprehend their own messed up-ness. Bonus points if they’re charismatic, or blonde and pretty. I love the horrors of trauma as a tool to unpack trauma. Also more bonus points if they’d be absolutely unforgivable irl and would get punched by me irl but are fiction so I’m condoning all their behaviour.

Today I offer you, bastard (affectionate) ~ usually bi/bi coded ~ blonde men who lie -- and tomorrow? -- most likely the same.

Will Graham 🤝 Benjamin Tallmadge 🤝 Louis de Pointe du Lac 🤝 Lestat de Lioncourt

Honour/morality/ethics/philosophy codes but only when it doesn’t get in the way of the plan or narrative.

Yeah, they also all look good killing people, and are my blorbos. But I’m talking virtue ethics and lesser of two evils philosophy. Also all religious/have religious trauma and hypocritical disasters (affectionate). Traumatized or insane or both (affectionate).

Will & virtue ethics - @cryptidfang.

Virtue ethics.

Aristotle & virtue theory.

Aestheticism (art for art’s sake).

the Benjamin Tallmadge/Audrey (oc) verseTM...

You are not immune to (redacted) RP-inspired p.ropaganda.

blame @musicboxmemories / @honorhearted for this. 💙

Bittersweet/happy(ish) ending.

Tragic ending.

Collection.

Lestat is so bisexual and biromantic (canon) it’s like… not funny.

He’s also extremely misogynistic and 18th century typically pompous. I adore him.

Shoutout to him falling head over heels for Rowan Mayfair in 0.5 seconds, me too wtf? He’s so me! 🤷‍♀️ (also canon)

[queerquaintrelle]

Here I go, again...

I swear I’m okay, definitely not hyper fixating on fictionalized versions of extremely questionable historical figures.

Benjamin Tallmadge gets a pass though. 🤷‍♀️

I blame @honorhearted (affectionate).
