//ooc; I’ve thought about this for awhile now, it’s been almost a month 😛 and I think it’s a little unfair of my Lestat to answer, bc he’s clearly going to like what I like, to some extent! And my taste is fairly limited bc I don’t keep up with what’s popular, I tend to wait out the hype and then discover things on my own 5-10 years later, and then I’ll go, “Have you heard Crazy by Gnarls Barkley?? It’s mah jam :DDD” And my best friend will pat me on the shoulder and go “Honey that was 11 yrs ago.” *laughcries*
[X] With @roselioncourt‘s help on our REAL LIFE visit last wknd, we made a rough list of bands/artists we think Lestat would love, and I’ll reblog this post with that list, as I don’t have it with me rn, but basically, I think he’s very into the performance aspect of it, the stage presence, and he’s into pop culture, he’d probably keep up with the current music scene, the top 100, what albums are selling, etc. He also likes to do covers of his fave songs and make variations to “improve” them ;D
Hello again, Mael anon! I’ll have to keep thinking on this one, I’m sorry to say he’s not a character I’ve given a lot of thought to and I don’t want to write anything that might be untrue to the character just to get an answer out 😛
[^X can we has Brock O’Hurn as Mael tho? mmmmmm….][Idk what he looks like in your mind, Anon, but I see him as big like this, would love it if he had some beard scruff – I don’t remember if he has one in canon – I see fanart of Thor that makes me think of Mael, too]
There is another Mael RPer I just saw on my dash recently, tho! @sughlanu-cridh. That mun is probably who you should go to for Mael headcanons ^u^
I’ll try to come up with something but… lemme kick this out to the group, so you don’t have to wait as long… Hey tumblr fandom, any Mael headcanons and actual canons for anon?
I don’t remember that part, but I definitely saw the movie… hmmm… maybe I blocked it out? But how did the babies even grow in the vampire mother’s wombs? Very strange.
Here’s an article on this… which I’ll leave here, and not read, bc I’m not really wild about this topic at this time, but if you are, go for it! I bet there were a ton of articles like this bc of Breaking Dawn.
(I think you mean female vampires in adult bodies, and that’s why you mentioned Claudia as not included, while she is female, she has a child’s body; and for the fact that she was the child of Louis and Lestat – she was not a vampire at her mortal birth.)
You might try the Twilight series, bc there’s a pregnant adult female vampire in that! I haven’t read it, but from what I’m told, it’s not a fun experience, to say the least :-[ Similarly, I think Blade is a half-vampire whose mother was mortal and whose father was a vampire. He can walk in the daylight bc of his mortal half, but he still requires blood (or a substitute) for his vampire half.
KEEP IN MIND: you don’t need to agree with me at all! This is just what I think, I think a pregnant vampire story could be very bizarre and horrifying and I rarely see it even attempted in fiction, so I think you could develop this concept and write the story of the pregnant vampire you want to see in the world!
[^X] In my opinion, if we’re talking about just Ricean vampire/vampire or vampire/mortal procreation, I don’t believe that vampires are able to become pregnant or impregnate, whether through penetrative sex or artificial insemination.* That, and the fact that they already have a means of procreation already, which is the blood exchange of the Dark Gift.
BUT WAIT:
… psssst…. Some ppl do not accept it as canon, but if you want a VC book that has vampires+pregnancy, go for the ride that is the bookPrince Lestat. A vampire doctor/scientist enables one of the male vampires to have sex and impregnate a mortal woman. She carries this baby to term, and that child ends up being fully human! I would imagine that the vampire doctor/scientist was able to get the male vampire’s ‘boys’ swimming around again from being dormant for like 200+ years (that’s some vintage stuff!), essentially making them mortal again? I don’t know, and thankfully, it’s not explained in much detail.
…
*I had written a Wall of Text backing up my statement, but it felt like it was trampling on the curiosity of the anon to have all that, which I didn’t want to do, so I removed it. In the plainest terms, I don’t think Ricean vampires have active sperm or eggs, or a working uterus (has any female vampire in canon EVER mentioned getting her period? Nope!) and you need those to make a baby, even if it’s half-mortal.
(Hello! I want to give you a good answer, but can you give me a little more info?
Maybe:
about what you love about him?
casting ideas for him?
are you looking for headcanons?
or canon stuff about him? Quotes?
I had typed up a few responses, but I deleted them, bc I was afraid of striking the wrong tone)
I will tell you there were two active Mael RPers in the fandom: @thevampiremael, and @maelgallia, you might reach out to them, or browse their archives for Mael stuff!
In the book it was just a random farm scythe. Stronger element of JUSTICE in the movie version, for Santiago to be killed by his own – and very real, not a prop – scythe.
“In a kitchen garden I saw something, something that had only been vague in my thoughts until I had my hands on it. It was a small scythe, its sharp curved blade still caked with green weeds from the last mowing. And once I’d wiped it clean and run my finger along the sharp blade, it was as if my plan came clear to me and I could move fast to my other errands…” – Louis de Pointe du Lac, Interview with the Vampire
