That fanart was by @superhiki,… added to my list ;]
THIS IS THE SUIT FROM THE FANART woah. So sparkly. Can’t wait to see ppl cosplaying this bc Lestat will. You totally know he will.
reblogged your post
In ‘Tale of the Body Thief’, Mojo goes to lick Lestat’s face and (I think) he had blood tears on his cheeks. Lestat gently pushed Mojo back and tells him he must never, never taste the blood—something similar to that, anyway.
Yes, I do remember that scene, but Lestat doesn’t make any comments in canon at that time about turning him.
I always read that moment as Mojo licking his face like he would for a normal crying human, that Mojo ignored the taste, that he did it purely to comfort his big awkward bipedal yellow puppy son ❤

♛Funny how you’re reading his book, and you want what he initially hated. It’s endlessly amusing to me how much he’s changed since then *smiles*
You promise to always drag my magnificent ass out of whatever mess I manage to get myself into?! *laughs* That’s quite an offer. I’ll take the compliment, too.
There’s more to being someone’s eternal companion than babysitting your maker, entertaining them, and refraining from setting them on fire. I’d say that anyone signing themselves up for that will find setting me – or themself! – on fire to be irresistibly appealing.
*Sigh* 24 is so young. More so now than in the 18th century, what with life expectancy so long now. I took Louis because I found in him a kindred spirit, even if we do not express that spirit in the same ways. He forced me to turn him sooner than I would have preferred, he would’ve died if I had given him much more time.
But all this is completely ignoring the fact that you have written to me anonymously! How do I fall in love with a mask? How do I bring someone into a dark eternal existence of bloodthirsty murder and mayhem when I don’t even know what kind of music they like, if they’re actually a Chaotic Evil psychopath, or…. worst of all… if they are significantly taller than me…??? Do you see my dilemma?
♛”Claudia, did Louis really gave that to you? Please don’t lie to me, ma petite…” Lestat sighed. He reached out to pet the dog’s soft floppy ears.
“No, we cannot keep a puppy. Who would play with her all day when we’re asleep? It wouldn’t be fair to her.” More truly, Lestat was concerned about the inevitable damage to their home during the day, and, that Claudia might get hungry one night and kill the poor animal herself. This had happened before with a rabbit, she spent nights sobbing remorsefully over it, and none of them needed to endure that again.
For Burnadette_dpdl.
Something happy was promised. We have a decent amount of Louis and Claudia fics out there (decent…), but not nearly enough Lestat and Claudia. Obvious reasons, no doubt, but he did love her in his own way.
This is a sort of alternate universe where they adopt Claudia—without turning her—as a baby instead.
Sweet little AU ficlet, gifted to me, and I am so very touched! What a lovely gift ❤
@grrhatlet is right, there is a dearth of Lestat and Claudia fics out there, and this was much needed.

This is 100% unofficial and purely from my heart-
But for my younger sibling’s birthday I made @louis-the-beautiful-one some coloring pages featuring their favorites from the Vampire Chronicles series!We’ve got Louis, Claudia, and Lestat in a family portrait, Armand standing about with the curtains of his stage, and Marius looking so miffed at his quill.
I’d really like to do a couple more, and maybe I will with some of my favorites (NICKI… DAVID… GABRIELLE) but that’s for a later time. I love being the older sibling without a $$$ job so I’m always drawing things. HAHA
Please download and color them for yourself!! Hell, if you want a custom one, hit me up~
((When I was 11, I wrote a terrible short fanfic from the POV of a vampire dog which Lestat had turned as an experiment. I don’t remember anything about it except that the dog was pretty happy as a vampire dog… it’s lost to time and space forever. Just thought that might amuse you!))
IDK about vampire animals in other media, I’m sure someone has done it, but IIRC, they’re not in VC canon at all. I don’t know if AR has considered it, with all the implications that follow. Could the world survive packs of vampire dogs and cats? Herds of vampire horses?
Vampire
Lions?
Vampire
Tigers?
Vampire
Bears? Oh my…. Could a vampire chimpanzee (or rat!) turn a human into a vampire? Would it matter if the animal was a herbivore or would it have to be an omnivore, like humans are? If the vampire lab in PL is still running, maybe they’re experimenting on animals. #FIC REQUEST.
In some religions, animals are considered not to have souls at all, or that they lack the same type of soul that humans have. in VC, the soul seems to be a crucial element in anchoring the vampiric spirit to its host body during Dark Gift transfer.
Also, just physiologically, not all infectious diseases are transmittable between animals and humans. For example, humans cannot get Feline AIDS and feline leukemia virus (FeLV) from cats [animalplanet.com].
Zoonotic diseases: diseases transmitted from animals to humans through media such as air (like influenza) or through bites and saliva (like rabies).
I headcanon that vampirism is not a reverse zoonotic disease.

Recycling this from a previous answer; It’s funny you mention vampire animals bc the question was raised, when old age finally started to rear its ugly head for Mojo…
Lestat: What if we could heal him with-
Louis: NO Lestat. No.
Lestat: Just an experiment to-
Louis: We’re not making a vampire dog that’s a crime against nature we have to draw the line somewhere.
Lestat: *pouts*
Louis: *glares*
Lestat: *pouts harder*
Louis: *glares harder*
Lestat: Ok confession time: I already tried to give him a few drops of blood and he was not at all interested. Repulsed really.
Louis: *ragged sigh*
Lestat: It was worth a try!
Louis: Then why were you even asking me?
Lestat: I thought he might prefer yours–
Louis: *slaps Lestat hard across the face and storms out*
I remember hearing about (but not reading) Bunnicula, “a children’s book series written by James Howe, featuring a vampire rabbit that sucks the juice out of vegetables,” but I know that’s not quiiiiite what you were looking for, lol.
^Lookit the widdle fangs! Bunnicula even has the classic “widow’s peak” hairline in their fur like Dracula *u* and a “cape” in the fur?? I think it’s been adapted to an animated series, too.
Other quotes I found about animal-human disease transmission:
Also relevant is zombie animals. In The Walking Dead, there are no zombie animals, and I found a forum where ppl were discussing it (walkingdeadforums.com), whether it’s true that the original comic artist set the canon for that bc he “does not enjoy drawing animals so much,” or whether there might be a scientific reason for it…. Zombie animals are as equally debatable as vampire animals!
I’ve posted these before, but they seem relevant around now. Merman Lestat & Merman Louis, just in time for Prince Lestat and The Realms of Atlantis
