@vampirefest 's Lestat's Birthday Bingo. Squares 7 & 8: Lust for life + Resilience

"But you didn't go down, Lestat," he said, his eyebrows rising. "The hunger, the cold -- none of it stopped you. You were a triumph!" The rage thickened his voice again. "You didn't drink yourself to death in the gutter. You turned everything upside down! And for every aspect of our proposed damnation you found exuberance, and there was no end to your enthusiasm and the passion coming out of you -- and the light, always the light."

The Vampire Lestat

Lestat's resilience and passion for life is both his triumph and his tragedy. The layout is inspired by both Bernini's Ecstasy of Saint Theresa and Louis' iconic scene with Jonah, which is probably the most important scene in the whole series.

"Rockstar" @vampirefest So I've made this one originally for an inktober52 prompt, but I'm re-uploading it for the Lestat bingo ^^

@vampirefest 's Lestat's Birthday Bingo. Square 9: The Brat Prince

“Clad in red velvet it came, the very covering my old Master had so loved, the dream king, Marius. It came swaggering and camping through the lighted streets of Paris as though God had made it. But it was a vampire child, the same as I, son of the seventeen hundreds, as they reckoned the time to be then, a blazing, brash, bumbling, laughing and teasing blood drinker in the guise of a young man, come to stomp out whatever sacred fire yet burnt in the cleft scar tissue of my soul and scatter the ashes.”

The Vampire Armand

And with this not-obvious-at-all metaphor the bingo is complete. Thank you so much again @vampirefest for hosting this event. It's been so much fun!😊🖤

Everybody’s perspective on Armand is “he’s so small” Babygirl, if you want to rail him, you can just say that
