Great blog! Keep up the good work! … Did you see (I’m sure you did) that there’ll actually be a IWTV 20th anniversary Bluray?! Cannot wait.

Aww thank you *u*

Re: the 20th Anniversary Bluray, Yes! I am aware. Thank you for thinking of me though, bc I found out about Prince Lestat through Tumblr, soooo IF THERE IS ANY VC NEWS I WANNA BE INFORMED IMMEDIATEMENT. After all, part of the purpose of this blog is sharing VC News ^_____^ 

I doubt it will have any really good extras but one can still hope bc we deserve new cast interviews at the very least! There was so little of that on the original DVD ;A; 

Speaking of VC News: AR was at ComicCon recently (July I think) which is suspicious… does she want to do a new graphic novel? Did anyone here see her, or know what she was doing there other than looking pretty and signing things

Do you know of any good iwtv fanfic?

um NO VC FANFIC DOES NOT EXIST OMG HOW DARE U

…yes…

[X]

I have a tag mentioning fanfic that’s more about fanfic than actually sharing links because we don’t want CERTAIN PEOPLE knowing where the fanfic is because those people like to sue fanfic authors and so it’s generally frowned upon to share links to fanfic, unless you are the author.

HOWEVER, an exception to this is AO3. Great IWTV and VC fanfic. AUs and crossovers! Ao3 defends their authors on real legal grounds, so… that’s a start.

More can be found elsewhere… if you can earn the trust of people who know where it is 😉

How do you feel about the possibility going around about Robert Downy Jr. playing Lestat?

^That sorta sums up my feeling on the matter! But actually, I/we had a whole discussion about that almost a year ago omg how time flies bc apparently RDJ was AR’s pick for Lestat in 2010. Article here.

Thinking about it now, since you ASKED, I feel like RDJ is too old to play Lestat, don’t you think? Lestat’s supposed to be about 21. And built a little differently – lean, mean, hunting machine with maybe a *little* softness from 6 months of fine Parisienne bread and wine, and less exercise. 

However! I would love RDJ in another role. Maybe as the Marquis de Lioncourt? Or Raglan James (who’s supposed to be much older, but whatever). Maybe as Memnoch the Devil in his “everyman” appearance. 

Side note: Don’t RDJ and Louis look adorable together? Louis/Tony slash anyone? Anyone? Beuller? 

Thoughts on the ‘Lestat’ movie title?

Omg you are the first to inform me! Thank you ❤ and also nice of u to send me an ask, i don’t fish for asks but i do enjoy them, even when i answer them crankily but i digress…

Title? why you would want my opinion is beyond me but very flattering! All I really want is for this to be true: “This new Lestat is expected to veer far closer to the source material than Queen of the Damned did.”

If you really want my opinion… I like simply Lestat bc there is SO much more to him than being

☆*・゜゚・*The Vampire Lestat*・゜゚・*☆

… and that might help elevate it to be more than just another drop in the vampire genre that’s drenched our cultural stuff so much already.

BC I have issues and can’t stop myself Lestat is better than these alternative titles:

  • Welcome to the Madhouse (AKA Wherever Lestat is)
  • Doing the Thing, All Night Long, in Your Face: A Sensual Biography of Lestat de Lioncourt
  • Lestat de Lioncourt: Learning the Hard Way Since 1790
  • Lestat: No Really I Got This Trust Me 
  • Lestat “Danger? I Laugh in the Face of Danger!” de Lioncourt

Hi it’s the Memnoch anon again! I’d come off anon but I don’t have a tumblr. I just finished Memnoch the devil and like how can it end like that?? This is absolutely preposterous, someone please tell me that armand and memnoch aren’t dead!! They can’t be!

I just finished Memnoch the devil and like how can it end like that?? This is absolutely preposterous,

Welcome to the fandom. This is how it is. These feels you’re feeling are normal *cackling*

someone please tell me that armand and memnoch aren’t dead!! They can’t be!

YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE CANON. No, j/k, I just don’t want to spoil it for you. Just stay with us. Read/skim the Vampire Armand. 

(BTW, Memnoch is a fallen angel, I don’t think he’s in any kinda danger. You might have meant Mael)

You know that Anne Rice’s vampires don’t have sex? They are basicly asexuals because they don’t feel lust for sex, only for blood.

I have read the series. I’m aware. For some reason, and it’s probably unintentional on your part, Anon, but it seeeeems like you have some kind of issue with this?

They still do feel sexual lust, it’s channeled through the experience of taking/sharing blood.

Alot of fanfic writers and VC RPers just ignore the canon asexuality and let the Ricean vampires have sex however they want. Some have very creative headcanons about it. I for one enjoy reading it. 

In terms of VC CANON, however:

  • They’re asexual in that they aren’t described as having penetrative sex.
  • Unless your headcanon is that they do and they can, in which case Anne Rice decided to just leave it out for whatever reason. Some people think this is the case. *shrugs*
  • However… physiologically it would make sense that the Ricean vampires do not procreate in this manner because they procreate via the Dark Gift. At that time, the mortal body *dies*, transformed and frozen from further change/development. Male vampires would be shooting blanks (if they shoot anything at all) because they can’t make new sperm; female vampires wouldn’t be producing eggs, and wouldn’t have the organs to be able to grow a baby. 

I think that reproductive obstacle is why Anne Rice made the choice that they could BE sexual, but not in a reproductive way. 

Anon, the definition of sex is different for everyone who does it. The Ricean vampires can do tons of other very sensual/sexual things. Who says that a penis in a vagina (or anywhere else) is the only legitimate definition of sex? Sex cannot be totally defined by the dictionary definition, when it’s such a widely interpreted issue.
