Value Me (//I hope I’m not too late for this)

What do I think about you?  Where do I even begin?

You are the savior of our kind, the one who ensured our continued salvation and our new Queen.  My life and that of my fledgling are in your debt. 

You are one of the oldest, one of the few to have managed our extended existence without a break, without going to ground.  You have my admiration and I wish to learn how you have done such a thing.

You walk the line between your mortal family who you love and your immortality.  I can only hope to learn the secret to how you love so deeply yet are able to let go.

You have suffered much pain and loss and yet you continue to be positive and loving.  I want to be more like you.

Our hair may be similar but the rest of our beings are so very different.  The world needs more people like you and less people like me.  I want to be your apprentice, to follow you through the world and maybe, someday become as admired, as strong, and as loving as you.  My Queen.

The world needs more people like you and less people like me. ;A;

I typically do not live anywhere where I have access to mirrors, nor do I go to any extreme to attempt to see my reflection. 

But, the world being what it is, I am once in a while in a position to catch a glimpse of myself in the glass. 

What do I see?

I see what I am sure many others see: a woman, older but of indeterminate age (the dark gift altered the ability to see me for the age I was when I died, though it is obvious that I am not as young as many of the others), with a mass of blonde hair, with blue (sometimes violet, sometimes grey) eyes, and small, kittenish (to borrow Lestat’s words) features. 

I see my brother’s hair.  

I see my father’s chin. 

I see my mother’s fine cheekbones. 

I see my son. Always. 

I see my daughter. 

And then I pass on. 

;A; we all know that 8th child was a daughter!

  • “I was the seventh son and the youngest of the three who had lived to manhood” = there were 7 sons
  • “And now, after eight children, three living, five dead," 

That 8th child could have been a daughter. What are the odds for it being another son?

Vampire Weaknesses?

nijah:

All vampires are effected by sunlight and fire, but the older a vampire gets, the less he is affected by these. The oldest Vamps (4000 years plus) are not burned by the sun, merely browned (eg. Akasha and Enkil, and Lestat ) .And children of millennia (1000 +) are able to withstand some fire. (eg Pandora, Marius, Mael)In fact, they could walk through a huge bonfire and walk out the other side only cleansed, but if they stayed in it, they would eventually die.

The Blood is what animates a Vampire. If All the blood of a vampire is drained, the vampire is as good as dead. This is extremely difficult though as vampires contain huge amounts of blood and in some cases it would take hours to drain a vampire fully. Now, here is the tricky bit. All vampires are immortal. BUT, say for instance, a blood drinker was to be cut in half. Slices in two horizontally, then both halves would crawl around until they were finally joined back together again. Meanwhile, the blood loss from it would render the vampire almost useless. If an arm was to be cut off in battle, the vampire could pick the arm up and rest it on the stump, but it would take a long time to heal back on, even for the eldest vamp. (eg. Enkil, King of the Egypt, had an arm severed in battle.. he picked it up and put it back on, where it healed) Lost limbs do not regenerate. And the big question, the Beheading. If a vampire is beheaded, you might as well call it dead. For without the head on the shoulders, the creature can do little, for the shock of the instant blood loss would all but render the vampire unconscious. (eg, Akasha, the very first Vampire was attacked by Meakre , and her head was severed. She was powerless after it was severed and could not even reach the head to put it back on..)

However, If a limb is cut off and burned, the vampire may take the same limb from a mortal and use it. Although, the mortal arm will eventually die and need to be replaced. (eg. Maharets eyes were taken from her before she was given the Dark Gift. Until Thorne gave her his, she uses mortal eyes, but these give her irritation because the demon blood does not keep them alive)

“ A sketch was all he’d done, a series of bold black lines that nevertheless made up my face and shoulders perfectly, and the color was already begun in dabs and splashes: the green of my eyes, the white of my cheek.  But the horror, the horror of seeing my expression!  For he had captured it perfectly, and there was nothing of horror in it.  Those green eyes gazed at me from out of that loosely drawn shape with a mindless innocence, the expressionless wonder of that overpowering craving which he had not understood.” – Interview with the Vampire
