♛*chews at knuckles dramatically* Are you TRYING to torment me??! Plucking
at my very heartstrings! So inconsiderate. You
KNOW how much I adore that man. That creature of magnificent beauty and talent.
He might be my very spirit animal. He’s also a darling in person. *sighs* You
don’t want to see my LENGTHY wishlist of musicians, actors, writers, composers,
etc. that I would scoop into my arms and protect from Death. Unfortunately, one
can’t “people the world with vampires,” rockstars or no.
Besides, claiming anyone in
this manner does not guarantee that they will be happy about it afterwards. The
procedure is still not an exact science, it can lead to a fate worse than death.
This reminds me of an opera
singer… it might have been La Divina (Maria Callas) who, I believe, retired
from professional performance at the height of her career for a number of
reasons, among which: that her audiences might remember her at her best. That
is something of a beautiful thing to have the courage to do.
Some VC RPers had put a tumblr together for that awhile back and unfortunately it’s sort of fallen out of use, but I think it’s still a good starting out point:
Check these tags of mine, they have RPers in them.

I would make a masterpost of RPers but A) RPers do go inactive or change their URL, B) I wouldn’t want anyone to feel left out, in case I missed someone.
Once you find some RPers you like, check to see if they have Follow Forever tags, like this one, it usually makes a handy (tho possibly out of date) list there, too!
I mean this in the kindest way… LOUIS IS A BAD ASS MOTHERFUCKER OK so people need to let go of this singular-mopey-tortured-soul-Louis thing!
Your headcanon may vary of course, but this is my interpretation…
I still haven’t finished Prince Lestat but I know some of the spoilers. I won’t share them here except to say that I understand Louis gets a good chapter to himself. He’s in Prince Lestat and he does make the impression of someone who is comfortable in his own skin and generous in his interactions with others, so far as I’ve read.
Aside from that, Louis shook off his mortal coil as early as in IWTV. When still but a fledgling, he stood up to Lestat during the Freneire incident, “And so I physically grappled with Lestat. I held him… I held him in the dark, where he spit at me and cursed at me…” Lestat sounds like an angry cat. That must have been fun. NOT.
He helped Claudia escape from Lestat. He burned down the Theatre des Vampires in revenge for Claudia. Etc.
In my favorite fanfic and RP threads, Louis is a BAMF. He doesn’t let anyone step on his toes, and he enjoys time to himself, but he’s not merely a hermit the sum of his library. He’s protective and nurturing of Lestat (and others) in physical AND emotional ways, which are reciprocated in kind.
Louis is at odds with everything. He always has been. Even in his darkest, saddest moments, there was the little flame of his ego and will to survive. It’s one of his most endearing qualities.
I think it’s this ego and indomitable nature that draw Lestat – and others – back to him again and again. Also, Louis is very pretty ❤
You’re very welcome *u* It is, for the most part, a super nice fandom, as we’ve had our share of drama already (among other things, being driven underground by our own series creator in the 90’s), so we’re all pretty grateful to be able to find eachother now.
First of all I have to say the entire series is sort of jokingly – and endearingly – called the Vampire Crackicles. The crazy is a big part of why we enjoy it. Dysfunctional vampires! The first 3-4 books in the series seem to be the more highly regarded, VC-fandom-wide, maybe bc the crazy was better woven in. We all have our differences in opinion as to what we consider to be canon after that.
Do I think you’ll like the rest of the series? I don’t know what you liked specifically about the first 2 books, but if you did like them enough to reread them, you must also enjoy the sense of humor that’s mixed in with the angst, the love, the overall crazy!
Short answer is give it all a chance, read it in order, and decide for yourself, it’s meant to be fun, it’s not a religion ;]
For more on Blackwood Farm and Blood Canticle, clickez ici:
The books you mentioned have earned a negative reputation partly because they are involved with the crossover of the Mayfair Witches series, and introduced a whole bunch of new characters, when the fandom craved more about the already established characters (like Daniel Molloy!) and that the plots of those stories didn’t seem as engaging as in the first 3-4 books (at least for me, because they were maybe too ambitious or not structured in a more believable way).
Blackwood Farm focuses on a new set of characters (including a few of AR’s Mayfair Witches, it’s one of the 3 books that makes the crossover of the two series) than in IWTV, TVL, or QotD. It’s got some very interesting mythology and you do have Lestat being Lestat, but he’s been through alot at this point in canon and is not the same throw-caution-to-the-wind lovable moron that he was previously. He’s got a gentleness and a snappiness about him.
Blood Canticle is very cracky bc it’s further down the Mayfair Witches crossover story. Now Lestat has very strange religious grappling. It was meant to be the very last VC and you can see Anne Rice tried to pack in as much excitement and fireworks as possible. Sometimes this ended up making the story jump the shark.
Your gif may be too big, there is a 2mb file size limit (and it works better if the gif is smaller than that). Also, most of my gifs are smaller than 400 x 400 px, this one by pusheen is only 250 x 250 px and 51.8 kb.
