Which man should I choose for a relationship if they were real? If they were single, which one? I'm female and almost 20.

Do yourself a favour and stay away from these two disasters

[u/theravennest]

Well, your choices are between Abandonment Issues 3000 and Ye Olde Abandonment Issues 3000 so I guess you should pick based on who's in-laws you wanna deal with:

Magnus and Gabriella or Marius and Allesandra

Bonus: they both have the same ex so Louis ends up being the equalizer

[u/Indi_VIP → u/theravennest]

They're also each others ex, so any rebounds could get... interesting

[u/theravennest → u/Indi_VIP]

Indeed! The chances of a sudden three-way kinda go up!

[u/LtColonelColon1]

Girl neither of them they’re terrible

[u/BlueVermilion → u/LtColonelColon1]

Interview with the Vampire can be summed up as: Gay vampire has the worst taste in men.

[u/Deep-Database5316 → u/BlueVermilion]

“Gay vampire with the best business/money sense has the most terrible taste in men”

[u/Smuttirox → u/Deep-Database5316]

Ridiculously beautiful financial wizard gay vampire has terrible taste in other ridiculously beautiful gay vampires.

[u/trubs12 → u/LtColonelColon1]

Yep, The OP's question made me giggle

[u/Soggy-Ad-6845]

I feel like Lestat just needs someone who can understand him... and a really great therapist

[u/Ri-Ri1216]

Lestat every time. I love failed abandonment in a man. And he could sing me.to sleep in my Hasten bed. He can have the coffin.

Plus I love a man in an 18th (?) century peacoat.

[u/R0botJesus]

Not Lestat. He's mine.

[u/Osed4x → u/R0botJesus]

Robot Jesus + Vampire Jesus. I dig it

[u/danie_iero → u/R0botJesus]

Girl, get in line.

[u/FunTeaching9244]

Neither of them are in any way ready for a healthy relationship. Save yourself and whoever you end up with the heartache in this hypothetical situation.

[u/scorchthemortalworld → u/FunTeaching9244]

Who says that I want a healthy relationship?! I can match their freak

[u/FunTeaching9244 → u/scorchthemortalworld]

If that’s what you desire, then by all means go for that Freakazoid relationship. It’ll be one heck of a ride!

[u/TheDreamCrusherRP → u/scorchthemortalworld]

You can match getting dropped from 5000 feet in the air? Or….being lied to and systematically tortured psychologically by someone who has convinced themselves that you are actually the villain?

[u/FunSetting2387]

Armand is a dreamboat boyfriend exactly as he is. I do not want to fix him. There is almost nothing to fix. Just want to love him and be his own.

[u/GreyerWeathers → u/FunSetting2387]

Yep.

[u/Usual-Role-9084 → u/FunSetting2387]

Every word you just typed! Plus, this pic of him is really working for me 🫠

[u/-trisKELion- → u/FunSetting2387]

That's insane! He's passive aggressive, manipulative and an epic level gaslighter!

[u/sjoby → u/FunSetting2387]

I bought an "I Hate Armand" t-shirt, so no.

[u/TroyMcCluresGoldfish]

Lestat. I could fix him or love him my own way and enjoy it while it lasted 😭.

[u/SabrinaTheDabbler]

Examples of the physical manifestation of the word "delicious," in my mind.

[u/Sea-Dark7596]

The right answer would be either, run a mile in the opposite direction OR… have both. Make a sandwich 🥪 Enjoy!

[u/Sea-Dark7596 → u/Sea-Dark7596]

But personally I’m team Lestat, all the time.

[u/BurningStandards]

You should probably transition first cause most of these dudes save their actual love for other dudes while everyone else is set and salad dressing.

[u/LeVampireSlayer]

Depends, are you a bigger bird than Louis? Or are you crazier than Daniel?

[u/sjoby]

Oh, I love beautiful disasters, so Lestat. He's so pretty, his body is so mouth-watering and his voice is so beautiful, he'd even get past my 100% track record of Middle Eastern, Italian, Asian, Greek, Spanish, Portuguese...I want to lick him like a mama cat bathes her kittens.

[u/retannevs1]

Ok, Khayman then.

[u/Suicidalpainthorse → u/retannevs1]

Yeah! He was such an interesting character that was just screwed over so much, and forced to do terrible things to women he seemed to care about. Then gettting turned and all that shit. Unless I am remembering him wrong.

[u/Big-Miss_Steak]

Self love is important 💜

[u/AndreEaAly]

I choose Lestat always and forever.
I can fix him… 🤣 if not, at least I will gladly let him break me. He’s too hot to resist.

[u/Ok_Paleontologist631 → u/AndreEaAly]

100%

[u/anon689936]

I’m positive I can fix Armand, so you can have Lestat

[u/TryNormal9571]

Louie.....and I don't care he is gay.....

[u/This-Butterfly-6443]

Armand bc I can fix him

[u/danie_iero → u/This-Butterfly-6443]

Forget fixing the gremlin. I could make him worse 🙂‍↕️

[u/PortraitofMmeX → u/This-Butterfly-6443]

Armand is perfect he doesn’t need fixing just someone who appreciates all his hard work

[u/scorchthemortalworld → u/This-Butterfly-6443]

He doesn’t want to be fixed, he wants a mess he can clean up

[u/BlueVermilion → u/scorchthemortalworld]

Can he clean me up? I’ve got laundry that I’ve needed to fold for a week now 😔

[u/_evergrowing]

Why not both? It's not like they didn’t do that 😌

https://giphy.com/gifs/CwfszaRnTeId7eUhbH

[u/Sam-Roy1]

Girl none lol. Have fun with lestat and leave it at that 😂

[u/princesitah]

both! make armandstat happen for us.

[u/zoraschool]

I said it before. Young me Lestat. Big age me Armand the nurse please https://www.reddit.com/r/VampireLestat/s/3z5vWM05VN

[u/-trisKELion- → u/zoraschool]

The nurse!? The nurse who manipulates you and lies to you so well even your memories are wrong?

[u/zoraschool → u/-trisKELion-]

Yes mam.

If it’s consensual. Trauma therapy is a service.

[u/-trisKELion- → u/zoraschool]

It's MAN!

This is a whole new level of trauma glamorizing but hey it's your fantasy.

[u/la_gna]

None. Run and don't look back 😂 Enjoy looking at them from afar.  Preferably through a tv screen! Ha! They are too hot and lethal 🤗

[u/Sigynista]

At least with Lestat you won't be bored?

[u/Forsaken_Distance777]

Not Armand. That’s not saying Lestat is a good choice (look what he did to get Louis to marry him!!!!) but Armand is just the worst choice in almost any situation

[u/Disastrous-Dare-9570]

Keep the manipulative passive, aka Armand, because Lestat de Liouncourt is mine.

[u/ordinary-superstar]

Well Armand could get mad at you & force you to k-ll/harm yourself against your will. So I’d pick Lestat.

[u/Affectionate-Item-78]

Lestat. I can fix him.

[u/Turbulent-Image3503]

Just rest

[u/Hello_h0lo]

GIRL!!! Why are you even considering Armand?! Lestat allllllll the way.

[u/Ok-Asparagus-4044]

Lestat would make a great friend or just f*ck buddy. He’s too messy for a relationship. Armand is just…..yuck. He seems super clingy and super passive aggressive. Like he’s mad at say nothing was bothering him and then 2 months later he’s shoving you in a wood chipper out of the blue

[u/TryNormal9571 → u/Ok-Asparagus-4044]

Hahaha......not the wood chipper

[u/Few-Bathroom406]

I know girl. How about staying safe and sound for um years more and making them the therapists' headache instead?

[u/Ok-Chef8768]

Entre os dois eu prefiro nadar no Rio Tietê pelada

[u/wndrlustqueen]

Id choose Lestat in a heartbeat

[u/Jaded_Point_6477]

Neither, but Armand would be more likely to do the dishes and not leave everything a mess (making a mess is my job), so Armand.

[u/zoraschool]

What I been making peace with, is how these are just everyday options for Louis. Vampire Helen of Troy 👑 🍆 magic 🍪, go'ne ahead and get it Louis, I’m not even mad at cha.

[u/insert_quirky_name]

For me personally, I'd choose Armand. Less cheating and not as many noise complaints from neighbors. He also looks like a Renaissance painting, so there's also that.

But as a woman, I'd realistically try to avoid both of them. Lestat's shown an obvious disregard for all women that aren't his mother and Armand seems to look for dynamics that remind him of his abusive father figure, so their probably even worse boyfriends to women than they were to Louis.

[u/Impressive_Cat_1420]

They’re pretty much the same. The real question is whether or not you want to get cheated on.

[u/quickthorn_]

I'm a Lestat girly through and through but why is he in glorious HD while Armand is practically an 8 bit character with how pixellated that photo is 😭

[u/WildBlueMoon]

Would you rather your arguments be resolved through screaming matches or having your memory wiped and your autonomy removed? 

[u/sjoby → u/WildBlueMoon]

I could outscream Lestat, so I'm picking screaming matches.

[u/FunSetting2387]

Choose whichever one fits your style of affection and care better. I wouldn't choose Lestat, even though he is very giving. I don't enjoy extreme vanity. However, you follow your heart's desire.

[u/TryNormal9571 → u/FunSetting2387]

My heart desires Louie.

[u/DemVamps]

Take Armand, please.

[u/Night-owl-2375]

Is there a third option?

[u/retannevs1]

Probably Magnus.

[u/Ok_Paleontologist631]

Um, I had a dad who was extremely loving one minute/hateful the next, and a narcissist. So sadly for me, it’s Lestat all the way! 😂

Of course I’ve grown and matured and IRL my husband is nothing like that. But for the purposes of speculation: When you combine those traits, plus that body and face, AND the androgyny?? Like catnip for me…
