*sigh*
Your storytelling was so good that I spaced out and didnt see it coming that you’d turn David. Thats not like me. Usually im spot on with stuff like that. I knew it was like you to do it but i forgot and Im embarrassed.
♛ “Ohhh! Oh. Well…” Lestat trailed off.
“To be honest I didn’t see that coming, either.” He ran a hand through his hair, shook it, letting it fall back into his face. “I had planned to keep tormenting him with immortality until he was on his death bed begging for it.” A smile drew across his lips and then vanished.
“The fact is that David was there for me, we were bonded powerfully in that experience… my emotions were almost too much for me to bear and he was my rock through it all. There were moments when I wanted to give up, sobbing into his arms like a child. The feel of his hands on ‘my’ body felt alien. When he spurned my advances, it hurt, why not support me in that way, as well? Is that not another form of comfort? Closeness?”
“I understand now that some of that resistance on his part was due to his performance anxiety. Also, I think he still couldn’t see me inside that body, the man that I was and offered him was still a stranger to him.” Lestat swept his fingertips across his desk, clearing a little dust absently.
“His rejection was on my mind that night when I did it to him. His kind and soothing soul wed to that already attractive body drew me like a moth to the flame. At first I internally justified just touching him. Then I justified kissing him, then just a Little Drink. By the time I’d given myself permission to do those, I just… needed more. Needed him. Needed to try to have him with me always.”
“He has since forgiven me but I will always feel that there’s a betrayal between us that can never be healed.”

Yo mom, what’s up with that movie night/livestream you were talking about 3 weeks ago? Still happening? Do I need to clean up my room, vacuum or anything? Say hi to dad, xoxo (lol lol)
ooc; I ended up having to cancel it for the day I’d originally scheduled it, but I’ll run another one soon. Maybe next weekend… I’ll have to see. I’ll post no later than Monday if it’s a go or no-go.
We generally do a voice call after the movie, but no webcam, so no worries about cleaning rooms. 😉 I’m in my pajamas with no make-up on 99% of the time when I’m sitting at the computer at home and y’all wouldn’t want to see me.
Judging by the order of that vcpositivity post, if I’m the mom, does that make vagabonddaniel the dad and i-want-my-iwtv Uncle Lestan?
-SAYS HI TO DANIEL-
OuO I love rewatches! IWTV I assume? Hmmmm? It’s actually been awhile since I watched it rather than pulling 1-3 second bits for gifs
Me as Uncle Lestan? Will take it. *salutes*
While we’re flattered to be referred to with such titles, there’s enough room for many parental figures in a fandom! Definitely not excluding more moms, dads, and Uncle Lestans ;]
On the subject of parental figures:
Technically, for those who aren’t aware, Louis was meant to be AR herself as an insert. Claudia was based on Michelle Rice, the daughter AR lost at age 5 to
leukemia ;A;
So Louis really is the mom of the series.
The name “Lestat” derives from “Le” which is “the” in French + “Stan” which is her husband, Stan Rice. She had actually intended the character to be named Lestan, and a typo led to him being Lestat instead.
Daniel, having been the interviewer that brought the VC into a published work, definitely should get some credit as a sort of father of the series ❤
that manga panel you reblogged a while ago is from the shoujo manga “from eroica with love” and tbh dorian pretty much is a lestat and klaus is louis idk how they got away with this
(This one, I assume.)
I definitely see the physical resemblance and in that one page I see some character resemblance ;]
I enjoy seeing works inspired by other works, especially works inspired by VC!
Dany&Dany started out as VC fanartists and built a manga empire on those characters, specifically L/L, recasting them as different characters but retaining similar personalities and appearances, as if they were actors.
Like these
are totally
Louis & Lestat
- Armand and Daniel ~ Science, Bitch!
There is my first short comic for the Vampire Chronicles
© Anne Rice.
Starring Daniel & Armand.
And the blender. And other gadgets.“Be my muse, friends”
The offer is still open! 😉Also thanks for gingerhairedimmortal to work with your idea
“I need someone who can draw Armand standing in the kitchen yelling “FOR SCIENCE” and Daniel facepalming.”And brb-being-brazilian also wanted something funny with Armand & Daniel. Hope that’s okay~
Ha!
“Shoutout to merciful-death, vagabonddaniel and i-want-my-iwtv who are like mom, dad, and uncle Lestan for our community. They’re super nice people and great roleplayers, I want to thank them for the time they put on being pillars of our community, organizing stuff, leading discussions, creating content and in general being awesome and keeping us together.”
Awwwwww! What a lovely message!
♥u♥
I think I can speak for all three of us *~parental figures~* when I say all we want is to enjoy this fandom together with u all!
~ ♥ ~
Personally, I love getting impressions from ppl just starting reading the series, as well as ideas from ppl who have already read and reread some or all of the VC. The headcanons ppl share are inspiring and the fanartists breathe visible life into these characters we all cherish. The silly stuff, the meta discussions, the RP… it’s a gift that keeps on giving to support such a fandom.
So thank you for following us, for sharing back with us, and if I could quit my job and just do this for a living I WOULD DO THAT IN A HEARTBEAT so much fandom love back to you, and the original writer of this lovely sentiment.

//are comments even necessary at this point or have we reached the point where it’s obvious
LESTAT NO BAD VAMPIRE *hits w/ rolled up newspaper* PUT THAT BACK WHERE IT CAME FROM OR SO HELP ME
-finished tale of the body thief- … -stares blankly at lestat-
♛”What specifically blankens your stare, mon ami? Is it the incredible story that was woven so artfully by yours truly, the rollercoaster of anxiety and relief that coursed through you vicariously as I yet again prevailed in the face of certain doom?” Lestat leaned back in his chair, smiling triumphantly.
“Or were you disappointed in the coven as a whole for its failure on an individual basis to support me in my hour of need? That my One True Pairing of a lover completely left me to my own devices despite the fact that he himself would have been long dead by that time if I hadn’t fallen so hopelessly in love with him???”
I’m attracted to you, personally. Not Lestat. Only you.
