@p3akyblinderr: THE POINT OF THIS POST IS JUST TO POINT OUT THE TRAGEDU OF LESTAT PRAYING TO A GOD HE DOESN’T BELIEVE IN BECAUSE HE IS SO SCARED AND ALONE AND DESPERATE FOR COMFORT (DISCLAIMER BECAUSE FOR SOME REASON PEOPLE ARE GETTING CONFUSED) …. making fun of louis’ catholic guilt then proceeding to recite bible verses to himself as soon as he’s in distress, oh lestat… #lestatdelioncourt #thevampirelestat #iwtv #interviewwiththevampire #tvl

Amina🕸️ :

I feel like he’s angry at god not that he doesn’t believe in him idk

Mehrshid :

it's so real most of atheists start praying and asking for help from god in distress not because everyone is actually a believer because in our worst moments we want a miracle someone to save us we want to god exists in that moment so it could help us

Even Sophie❓(mirror prns) :

i think regularly about lestat in the monastery...

✪ ⧗ :

“god loves you, but not enough to save you”

max 🕷️👁️🐑 :

i see myself in lestat and its not fun

schwoopsie :

I though it was pretty clear that he stopped trusting/believing in god after what he went through. I'm not sure what you're trying to imply here. That he's a hypocrite? Cause that's just not true.

Rabia Demir :

he loved it there and his family took it from him, just like everything else he loved

livingdeadgirl :

it's so beyond heartbreaking how religion failed him and yet he still prays to god when he has no other way out

Him praying in the car when magnus appears shows his human side

UGHH RELIGOUS TRAUMA CHARACTERS GET BEHIND ME

🫠 :

I hope they explore lestats past relationship with god more tbh, i feel like his flashbacks were wayyy too short

juli :

Ooof as someone who deconstructed from the religion I was raised in this part of Lestat and his story breaks my heart a little extra 💔😔

Mai🪼🌼 :

I believe that lestat believes that god exist but he feels betray by him, his god abandoned him when he most need him. And as a vampire he still believes in God but doubt of his existence

As an hardcore atheist, I also pray when I'm scared. Growing up Christian brings me a certain type of a comfort with prayer. I think that's how Lestat feels

Lestat isn’t an atheist, he just thinks God is cruel.

I’m cryin

Tetsuko :

When Lestat prays that Magnus won't kill him, he is terrified; he had already questioned his faith due to the beatings inflicted by his brothers and the poverty and hunger at home, as they constantly underestimated him and prevented him from becoming who he wanted to be. Thus, when he felt he was dying at Magnus's hands, it was his final gasp of faith. Upon becoming a vampire and seeing that his prayers had not averted the tragedy, his reaction is logical; just as in real life, a survivor of a horrific event might lose their faith and wonder, "If God exists and didn't intervene then, is He cruel?" It is a very interesting reflection. Furthermore, when Anne Rice wrote this part of the novel—or at least the first three books—both she and her husband were atheists and were grieving the death of their five-year-old daughter. It is understandable to question such things in the face of a tragedy like the loss of a child; let us remember that Stan Rice was an atheist and that Anne did not return to Catholicism until after his death. And although Lestat is inspired by him, throughout the novels he is constantly seen searching for proof of God's existence, even when he no longer has the heart for it. In the series, when he is in the car, he is recalling the trauma; he is not praying—he is reliving what happened to him.

QueenMoon :

Thinking about how since the first episode, we’ve associated birds and birdsong with the voice of God because of Paul. Granted it was more than likely his mental illness translating ordinary birdsong into something it was not, but there is also something to be said about Lestat, the only other major character who wanted to pursue faith as a human, dreaming about a peaceful life away from all the chaos and the first thing he talks about doing is transcribing birdsong. I wonder if he’s always heard the word of God in the ordinary beauty of the world and he’s just trained himself to ignore it because he “knows” that it’s not for him and will never be for him 😭
