You mean this painting? The source doesn’t say it’s intended to be Lestat, but I can see where you might have turned left at Albuquerque bc I did reblog it from a Lestat RPer, monsieur-lestat, and yes, it does work! Goes well with the TVL quote:
“I have… a mouth that is well shaped but just a little too big for my face. It can look very mean, or extremely generous, my mouth. It always looks sensual.”
#Lestat talks about himself #we all bask in his glory #As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen
“Yes it is I, Armand, the red haired teenage Russian let me dazzle you now with my impossible young boyish good looks and–OH MIO DIO–LOOK AT THAT BEAUTIOUS RAT–scusami”
You will occasionally make bad decisions! Sometimes you will make ASTONISHINGLY bad decisions! This happens, and pretending it doesn’t can lead to even worse consequences in the future. The important thing is to recognize when you’ve made a bad decision, do what you can to cope with your part of the aftermath, AND PAY ATTENTION SO YOU DON’T DO IT AGAIN.
^So it’s not exactly like this for Ricean vampires, but it’s hilarious (but GROSS) so WATCH IT (if you can handle the gross). For these and the
Ricean vampires, eating people food is bad, but not lethal.
Ricean vampires lose alot of digestive anatomy when they’re turned. So their bodies just can’t metabolize it. Cooking smells are repulsive to them, as Louis describes it in IWTV:
“The slightly nauseating smell of cooking meat… I caught the sweet smell of the spices and the fresh green of marjoram and bay; and then in a wave came the horrid smell of the cooking meat, the blood and flesh decaying in the boiling fluids.“
So if they were to try a bite of a plate of food, it might be like trying to force yourself to eat something inedible, like an old soapy sponge.
I would guess that eating a whole plateful would just make them throw it back up, no enjoyment in or out 😛
Not sure about other vampires, like The Vampire Diaries, Tru Blood, 30 Days of Night, Daybreakers, etc.
I seem to recall the Lost Boys eating Chinese food? I don’t remember. Try askavampirologist for non-Ricean vampires!
