Do you have a list/know of any good VC fanfics? I think I’ve read them all. I can’t find any!!! Smut, plot, I don’t care, I’m truly desperate. But now with all the TV show news, the fandom is slowly awakening from its hibernation so there have been a lot of new fanfic/art/stuff!! Also, AR wrote some bs on her personal FB about negative reviews and people feeling “victimized” and crap. I can’t. Also, Lestat, is it bad that I’m jealous of my friends because they hang out without me all the time?

Woah that is a lot of questions! I’m gonna respond to the comment about the negative reviews and the ask for Lestat

separately, for clarity.

[X] For VC faaaanfic:

There’s good stuff right here on tumblr, too. VC RPers write threads and answer asks in character, which you might like, and some of them also write drabbles from time to time, try these links/tags to find them:

Other ppl who might be able to help:

*gales of laughter emanating from the French Quarter*

So I’ve always held VC as a back burner fandom on account of how little I’d read of it(though I’ve been reading it a lot as of late)but after going on Anne Rice’s FB and seeing talk of a series I nearly cried real tears out of my own eyes bruh.

Welcome to the *~front burner~*, fam. When??? we’re actually getting that TV series is always a question – and those of us who have waited for years between adaptations have the patience of saints – but hell, why not be excited about it? Or at least cautiously optimistic 😉 Let it out. You can cry, bruh.

AR is planning on starting with TVL and she’s asking for fan input*, so…. let’s give it to her!

Hello Lestat, I have been a vampire for around as long as you maybe longer, I was born in French inhabited America but returned to France to live up until the end of the revolution. What was/ is your opinion of the atrocities that took place?

//ooc; This has been sitting in my inbox for a month, I’m not a history buff and not into historical politics, and I did ask around, but it’s tough to answer. What would he remember about that? Vampires supposedly have perfect memories. What are his opinions? VC does not get very political.

“By day I almost forgot the vision of the inn, and the darkness. Unless, of course, … I happened upon a public execution in the place de Grave.

And I was always happening upon a public execution in the place de Grave.

I’d wander out of the square shuddering, almost moaning. I could become obsessed with it if not distracted.” – The Vampire Lestat (p.1, ch.7)

He wasn’t a vampire at that point, but clearly those public executions had an impact on him bc he brings it up later as a vampire. Even though he causes death often, death as spectacle is different. Still, he doesn’t suggest that they shouldn’t have done it. 

The French Revolution took his brothers, their wives, and all his nieces and nephews, and as much as he despised his brothers, he still took care of his father until the end of his life in New Orleans, and he still had a dream that he turned his whole family into vampires, so what that means to you as a reader is up for interpretation. 

Anyone can comment. What do you think any of the vampires’ opinion is/was of the atrocities that took place during the French Revolution?

Out of all the vampires in the Vampire Chronicles which one do you think has the most daddy issues? Random question I know but the thought just popped into my head. Maybe it’s the combination of loving your blog and loving that song called Daddy Issues by The Neighbourhood.

Thanks for the compliment on the blog, much appreciated ❤

I like the song, I’d never heard it before.

Who has the most “daddy issues,” that’s up for debate, and how you define daddy issues, and bc someone with daddy issues can show it in different ways.

VC has a ton of terrible parents, either they’re neglectful, or abusive, or manipulative, etc. A lot of bad fathers, and that’s not even counting bad makers. A bad or absent father can affect someone’s future relationships with their significant others.

Daddy issues implies that a person had a father who: 

  • doted on them too much, maybe they’re spoiled and have an enormous ego now; or
  • ignored them or just wasn’t there at all, so the person cries out for attention too much, 
  • and everything in between and so much more.

So I’ll open this up, anyone can reblog/comment about the daddy issues! Or maker issues.

Lestat, I’ve always wondered: Do different humans taste different? Like, if you happened upon some spilled blood and tasted it, could you tell who it was from provided you’d had blood from them in the past? What about other species? Can you tell if a person is a witch or a werewolf etc, by their blood?

//ooc; I don’t know enough about the science with blood, but in my opinion, yes, humans taste different to vampires based at least partially on that person’s diet, and I headcanon that they do things to affect the flavor when they feel like going to the effort, like getting their victims drunk or aroused or terrified or whatever.

If placed before him, yes, I think Lestat would have to have previously tasted that blood if he’s trying to identify it. And it would have to be somewhat fresh, I would think dead or dried blood loses a lot of its flavor (and it’s pretty unappealing to vampires anyway).

With mortals, Ricean vampires are supposed to have perfect memories, and I do think Lestat has his favorite types of mortals and/or ways to flavor them with specific drinks/foods/ or provoking them into specific emotions, and he has favorite mortals he visits repeatedly for Little Drinks (unbeknownst to them, probably).

Werewolves might have something of the wolf taste in them and that would be noticeable to a vampire as odd for a human. So yes, I think Lestat could tell if someone was a werewolf.

With witches, I think they would fall under the “if Lestat has tasted their blood before, he can identify them,” but I don’t think there is anything specific to witch blood that would let him know it’s a witch, since witches are mortals who practice a religion. I don’t know enough about witches to know if it changes their blood physically, but if it does, vampires would probably notice.

Heya ! I’ve always wondered about how Lestat would feel about today’s french, how would he speak ? Would he use slang or would he stick to a more polite and noble way of speaking ? (noble slang, seems like Lestat’s jam tho.)

I’m not sure about that specifically, but I think Lestat curses alot more than he lets on in the books. 

[X by @mortcharmant, bc ppl tried to curb Lestat’s cursing by spritzing him w/ holy water, didn’t work.]

Noble or not, Lestat loves learning slang and sometimes uses it incorrectly, and that can be hilarious in itself. In general, I think he does try to keep it classy, if possible.
