-Daniel Molloy to Armand at some point, probably.
ooc; Who would have guessed that Lestat and Nicki were lovers? I mean, we got a fade to black with them and then received every detail about the blood on Amadeo’s ass from Marius’ whip.
Jesus fucking… THAT’S IT! THAT’S FUCKING IT!
ooc; Nicholas.

Episode 1×05 “Visiting Ours”
I can feel weird spending so much time staring at Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise’s faces, but then I do a QotD meme and I’m ready to run back to the IwtV movie. It’s not that Stuart Townsend isn’t hot, it’s that he’s blatantly not blonde.
Never feel weird about staring at the wildly more correct faces of the IWTV cast ;]
Lucille: I want to cry so bad, but I don’t think I can spare the moisture.
Episode 3×07 “Prison Break-In”
Does Virgin blood mean the blood of someone who has never had sex or blood that has never been drank/used in a ritual before?
Excellent question! All of the above.
^That’s definitely not sexually-virgin blood there, but it might very well be not-used-before-in-a-ritual virgin blood!
Hopefully the alcohol in it cleaned it up a bit? Maybe knowing the source is what really grossed Louis out about it, ick.
I’m not a good resource on this, but I believe it can mean all of those. In some religious rituals, it means specifically blood that has not been used in a ritual before (as in, whoever it is providing their blood has not shed blood in a previous ritual before). Drunk before? Well if it’s been drunk, it’s been used already, not sure how you’d retrieve it for another use!
It is true that some cultures held virgins up as oracles, and kept them separated from society at large. That they were free from the mental and physical demands that come with having a sex life (I’m not agreeing necessarily, just guessing at their reasoning in a very generalized way).
The idea that a person who has not had sex yet could be counted on to have pure blood may stem from the fact that diseases were much more mysterious long ago; lacking treatment options, people died and/or suffered terribly from sexually transmitted diseases.
One would suppose you would want clean utensils for rituals, and clean ingredients?
Scent: rain
Rain will always remind me of Paris, and, in some ways, Louis. For Louis, it reminds of the way that those beads of water clung to cloak and silken strands of ebony hair, lovely in a secretive, melancholy manner, with skin like pale stone washed clean by the storm. I elaborated on this somewhat here.
What Paris reminds me of by extension, however, is by far more complex. That city is awash with memories for me, so much so that separating past and present becomes a monumental task of concentration whenever I am there.
