[ Can I just freely drop some love your way? Your presence on my dash is everything and the whole tumblr experience, particularly in relation to this fandom, would not be the same without you. You are a treasure and I may have told you countless times before how much I love you and everything you post — but damn it, you need to be told often because, honestly, you’re an absolute delight. ]

Of course you can freely drop such lovely messages my way, my fanged little trash kitten ❤

That’s basically what Lestat is. And Louis. All of them, maybe. 

I am so deeply touched by your words. In real life, few people understand this passion of mine, and so I have to hide it from them, and it’s always felt a little bit shameful because of that. 

But here, I can let it run totally wild, and to be praised for doing that produces the exact opposite – I’m an absolute delight? A fandom treasure?! My presence is appreciated? My little heart swells with pride ❤

I do need to be told, and often. I’m only human. I am your (cumulative to the whole fandom) fanged little trash kitten. At your service.

This manga is the content of the unofficial fanbook issued by me in 2013.
This book,titled “Don Giovanni”,is Japanese only, but I tried to English translation. So sorry about my poor English.

The second half is coming soon. I’m translating the part into English now…

I need you, Louis. I want you to love me more. Please take your eyes off her once in a while, look at me, mon cher…! ;A;

Hi, I’m kinda new to that fandom and not very far into the books. Can I ask why we don’t talk about Dora?

I think I can guess who you are! You really like looking for buttons to push, don’t you? Very Lestat of you ;] I won’t tell. 

It’s not a fandom law that we don’t talk about Dora, it’s sort of one of our inside jokes, like the fact that Lestat only writes with Wordstar even now. 

I don’t reeeeeally want to spoil you, but you can probably already guess what happened between them. Dora and Lestat shared a very intimate experience in Memnoch the Devil that had not occurred in canon before, and has not happened since, but it’s a situation that anyone interested in vampires might have wondered about before. Lestat was very tired, it had been a long trip, and Dora was happy to console him in this *very special* way.   

There were alot of mixed reactions to it, if you want to be spoiled, you can read my #Dora tag, or hit the jump.


So I don’t deny that it was gross and bizarre but I think of this scene – at certain monthly intervals – and consider it from her perspective. She seemed to like it. He seemed to like it. It went from dubcon to consensual in about 3 seconds… and she seemed empty afterwards?? He actually might have saved her a few $ on feminine products?? SUCH A GENTLEMAN.

lestatemperorofthedead, What a lovely message! *flails*

♥u♥ ONE OF US ONE OF US (Apparently we’re calling ourselves Children of Darkness now, btw)

(BTW our mutual facepalming over Lestat was probably about this post)

Yes yes, memeything/fanart/fanfic/fanwork inspiration is, in actuality, the highest compliment to this blog, bc that’s REALLY what I do it for. When I started this thing there was fanwork but it was (and still is) all over the interwebs, and in my opinion there is not enough of it there is NEVER enough of it, so I wanted to have a collection of it for everyone’s enjoyment/inspiration, and a good resource for the fresh stuff, too 😀

Wow, your journey to VC is so touching, that our precious Sheeps shepherded you to us, was it this fanart of 

Tonio Treschi?

You read Cry to Heaven –> saw sheepskeleton‘s fanart of it > sheepskeleton‘s fanart lead you here > now you’re one of us!! 

#I love these kind of stories, and we (I’m sure I speak for others, too) enjoy your presence here. Great url, btw! He is Emperor of the Undead, lol. 

I enjoyed Cry to Heaven, I don’t remember it very well, should reread it. I seem to recall that the main character reminded me of Armand. 

I’m sorry to bother you, but I’m honestly curious about your opinion: do you think sunblock would work for vampires? (Silly question, I know, but I love reading your responses on things like this. Also, sorry if you’ve already answered a question similar to this one. ^^”)

Not a bother at all I LOVE being asked things and I do make an effort to answer bc honestly who wants to read a boring “Yes” or “No” like, no that’s boring bye. And, no, I don’t think I’ve answered this before so here we go…

Some vampires probably could do it with just sunscreen. Part of the difference is whether they can even be conscious during daylight hours. Mostly it’s due to their unique physiology. I could write an essay on this so I’m gonna keep it to 4 vampire types.


1. Meet Joe Black Deacon Frost, vampire from Blade, slathered up in sunscreen:

Well, Blade calls it sunblock, but same thing. It’s working for Frost in this scene (and I think he’s put it in his hair to cover his scalp, too, hence the greasiness), but as he says to Blade, “It’s a start, right? The goal, of course, is to be like you. Daywalker.” (Blade himself is a hybrid vampire so he can go out in the sunlight.) The rest of Frost’s skin is covered up with clothing which may also be treated in some way to protect him but his eyes aren’t protected, they should be affected but maybe it’s only light-sensitivity of the skin in that type of vampire.

For more, hit the jump.


2. This is Adam from Only Lovers Left Alive, getting a burn from sunlight:

Adam and Deacon share the ability to be awake during daylight hours. So it’s possible that Adam could wear sunscreen for protection, but given such a harsh physical reaction to such a small amount of exposure, I wouldn’t think any strength or amount of sunscreen would be strong enough for him, even if he was able to cover every last bit of skin, which would be a real challenge.

3. Louis de Pointe du Lac from movie!IWTV can’t handle the sunlight, but he’s fully conscious, reaching up to try protect himself.

Sunscreen might work for movie!Louis, too, but he would have the same issue as Adam, could he cover enough skin to make it work? I doubt it.


4. Louis and Claudia from book!IWTV fall into the Death Sleep during the day. They cannot be conscious during daylight hours, their physiology prevents it. So sunscreen, or other protective gear, would not work for them.

The Death Sleep is basically the unconscious state that the Ricean vampires succumb to when their bodies sense the sun rising, and they only break out of it when the sun sets again or they’re under attack. There’s also fanon that they can wake from the Death Sleep during the day when under extreme emotional distress. Even defending themselves in their sleep, they’re not really conscious and only realize what happened when they wake normally. Lestat says in TVL:

And those mortals who did find us during the daylight hours, unless they exposed us to the sun at once, were doomed. For example, outside Palermo [Gabrielle] had slept in a cellar far below an abandoned house, and when she had awakened, her eyes and face were burning as if they had been scalded, and she had in her right hand a mortal, quite dead, who had apparently attempted to disturb her rest.

“He was strangled,” she said, “and my hand was still locked on his throat. And my face had been burned by the little light that leaked down from the opened door.”

replied to your post “Have you ever considered Louis asexual as a mortal?”

“HAVE YOU SEEN THE HIGHER QUALITY ONES LESTAT HIRES?” I’M DEAD

LIKE C’MON LOOK AT THE DIFFERENCE:

Louis’ cheap whore with cheap makeup and sour disposition:

Lestat’s high quality whore with charming hairdo and attitude:

Lestat’s high quality sassy whore trying to sell them poisonous beverages:

Lestat’s are so good he has to box them and save them for later:

ok I’ve made my point ;D
