Can someone please tell me what this cover is supposed to represent?

Looks like the tips of two gondolas about to crash? But there’s blood so like, fang-related?

Armand did spend a good chunk of happy times in Italy but like this makes no frickin’ sense and we can’t even hold AR responsible bc I don’t think she has any say in these cover designs.

So, favourite VC scene! I only started reading IWTV recently, but I’ve read this today and it’s too adorable to not mention. <<>> I wan’t tipsy Lestat home.

I’ve never seen the film Queen of the Damned, and I was thinking about maybe watching it and turning it into a drinking game. If I were to do this, would I die from alcohol poisoning? I’m curious about the movie, and just don’t think I could get through the movie without intoxication, but I also don’t want to shuffle off this mortal coil.

(First of all: I do have movie!IWTV VC Drinking Game Rules maybe you can modify them, or enjoy them as-is, as-they-are)

So I’ve only seen QOTD 1x all the way through, and I had people helping me through it by making fun of it via group rewatch, so I couldn’t come up with drinking game rules other than just buy one bottle of wine per person and work your way through it the entire time, maybe every 5 minutes take a sip?

Nonono wait, don’t die of alcohol poisoning  I can’t afford to lose a follower that way!  

Opening this up to everyone. Anyone have drinking game rules for QOTD?

YO I GOT THIS

It’s funny, I was actually thinking about coming up with rules for this movie only a day or two ago. As with all movie-related drinking games, I recommend cherry picking only a few from these, as using them all might result in death, but here’s what I was able to come up with. I like the two rules fairytalesgoneawry suggested, so I am gonna slap them in here as the first two:

– Every time Marius makes a new vampire
– Every time you see Armand’s nipples
– Every time you see Lestat’s nipples
– Guys, there are just nipples everywhere in this movie, it’s hilarious
– Every time a vampire hisses
– Every time a vampire’s eyes turn red

– Every time cryptic cello music plays
– Every time the word “shadows” is used
– Every time the word “friend(s)” is used sarcastically
– Drink/drain (your choice) for each nu metal song you recognize in the background

– Every time IRL media-related branding is blatantly mentioned/shown on screen
– Every time someone on screen is wearing a fishnet/mesh top
– If you’re feeling ambitious, every time a background character is wearing a pleather outfit/every time Lestat is wearing leather pants
– Every time a scene has bad vampire slow-fast-mo in it (take it easy on this one there will be plenty of opportunities lmao)
– Every time Akasha does something that is intended to look cryptic and alluring, but just comes off as absurd
– Every time Akasha hand flicks someone to death
– Drain every time there’s a shitty abstract Akasha-related montage

– Every time a vampire goes jet packing into the sky
– Every time Lestat makes a joke about “meals/eating”
– Every time Lestat gives someone excessive bedroom eyes
– Drain every time Marius says “hello, David :D”

– Drink for Marius’s golf clap on stage, I can’t even you guys

– Every time one of Lestat’s managing staff are visibly uncomfortable
– Every time Lestat’s journal is passed on to a different person
– Every time someone tells Jesse not to do something
– Every time Jesse does it anyway
– Every time you think “shouldn’t Louis have been in this scene?”
– Every time a character dies THAT FUCKING SHOULDN’T HAVE

Annnnd that’s what I got.

omg your poor livers…

  • Lestat attempts some kind of unidentifiable European accent
  • a scene happens that wasn’t in the book at all
  • FORCED LOVE STORY
  • Every time your eyes twitch trying to accept the new Armand
  • Whenever someone is on screen that is not really goth or punk, but the costume dept said they are.

fairytalesgoneawry added:

  • How about you take a drink every time Marius makes another vampire?
  • Or every time you see Armand’s nipples? 

So, favourite VC scene! I only started reading IWTV recently, but I’ve read this today and it’s too adorable to not mention. <<>> I wan’t tipsy Lestat home.

I was wondering, as the mother hen of the fandom on this site, do you think Armand and Daniel ever loved each other? Or that they were both trying to take advantage of their relationship (Armand to learn about the modern world and to be less lonely and Daniel to achieve immortality)?

Mother hen! More like mother swaaaan. They are prettier and seriously badass. I was bitten by one when I was little. They don’t f*ck around.

Did Armand and Daniel ever love each other??!! omg what kind of an unfair question! Yes they did! YES, YES, YES THEY DID. AND MAYBE STILL DO. DEPENDING ON THE HOUR AND THEIR RESPECTIVE CRANKY LEVELS.

~What is love? Baby don’t hurt me, don’t hurt me, no more.~

Initially yes, Daniel just wanted to vampire. He went looking for Lestat for that, and found Armand instead. Sparks flew, and he became fascinated by Armand, probably more than he was with Louis. And Armand seemed equally fascinated by Daniel. There was a macabre kind of chemistry there, a mutual attraction.

[Hit the jump for more, but really, go ask an Armand and a Daniel! I ship them, but admittedly, they are not my main ship.]


What even is a relationship? Every relationship is built and defined by the people who are in it. Armand could have hired a personal assistant if all he wanted was a tutor/travel agent. Armand wanted DANIEL. Daniel’s wit, his rebelliousness, his charm, his inquisitive nature, all these things made Daniel more appealing as a companion.

On his deathbed, Daniel wanted immortality to be with Armand, not just for eternity alone. The fact that they may or may not be “together” in canon right now doesn’t mean they didn’t share something very loving and special, and it doesn’t mean they don’t still consider each other fondly. Some breakups can be mended, some can’t. Some exes can be friends. Some can’t. That’s life.

  • anyone drinks blood
  • there is a flashback
  • a music performance is shown (live or on television) 
  • anyone says “King" 
  • Akasha uses ‘powers’

^Louis’ reaction to being mentioned after Lestat.

He knows he plays second-fiddle to Lestat at all times. He prefers that Lestat take the bulk of the fangirl/boy/other attentions, but we must never forget that Louis is a BAMF. He must be some kind of awesome for His Holiness the Brat Prince to love him so damn much.
