Dear Lestat, I recently saw you giving advice on matters of the heart, and I was wondering if you could give me some as well. This summer I broke up with my boyfriend (for which I had valid reasons). We attend the same lectures so I still see him twice a week. I know I don’t want to get back together with him; a part of me really loathes him… But another (treacherous) part of me is still attracted to him and secretly longs to embrace him (without consequences). What am I to do? Sincerely, H.
♛I have been doing that, haven’t I? I have a terrible track record with relationships. I have plenty of experience in what NOT to do, that’s for damn sure…
(Alright, well… there have been some wonderful relationships. I’m in a relationship now with someone who has a high tolerance for pain and almost limitless patience, thank the powers that be, but enough about Louis…)
*cracks knuckles* Well, H, this is, as they say, a goddamn bitch of an unsatisfactory situation.
You’re going to have to put these feelings for him out of your mind and focus on your own life. You can do it. That relationship was grown by both of you, it became part of you, but it’s a severed limb now, what’s left is that eerie phantom feeling where it used to be.
Being in love is intoxicating, there is a whole science behind that apart from the emotional addiction. Being in love is fun, it’s pleasurable. Your physical and emotional attraction to your ex is probably something like what recovering drug addicts feel for the drug they’ve sworn off. Just because he is a drug, does not mean he’s loathsome. Just because you feel drawn to him does not make you weak.
The trick really is not to “think” about it. It’s not constructive to give him your mental energy. Focus on other things. Don’t replace him with another lover just to have that high of being in love again. Love yourself. Please yourself, physically and emotionally. In time, this shadow of attraction to him will fade away. Trust me.
*kisses,* L.
This blog is so lovely! It makes my day better every time I see it~ thank you for spreading your love for VC. Honestly when I started the reading the books I thought I was alone but then I found your blog and it made me so happy to know I wasn’t! 💕
Asj!*&fwghulds Thank you! What a lovely thing to tell me you made my day ^_____^
Our fandom has been here, underground, for DECADES… and we’ve started finding each other now through this social media platform in the last few years, it’s a gift that keeps on giving ❤
^And then, there’s also the fresh blood (pun very much intended) entering the fandom, which is revitalizing, too.
It’s been on my mind recently, and I just wanted to restate it here: One can spread love about a thing and still critique it, still have a sense of humor about it and even poke fun at it, too. Critiques and less-than-stellar reviews happen even with real people we love, and it doesn’t mean we love them less.
It seems like some people expect this blog to provide unconditional love, blind praise, and refrain from any kind of criticism. NOPE. nope! It’s conditional love, praise given when it is due, and criticism when it’s called for. But these are all only my own opinions on a social media platform, I’m not paid by Anne Rice, not officially affiliated with the Vampire Chronicles, and anyone is free to disagree, it can sometimes lead to extremely stimulating discussions!
Lestat I love your mom!! I admire how strong and determined she is. Are you spending this Christmas with her?
♛What a coincidence, I love my mom, too! There’s no one quite like her, they broke the mold when she was made, as they say.
I haven’t heard from her in a long time. She’s not answering her text messages, probably lost her phone somewhere for the millionth time *sighs* …There is reason to believe I’ll see her for Christmas, though…
hello, your recent photo edit of anne rice with the quote on top of it is hilarious! i sure would love a seperate post just for that picture to reblog it
Lol thank you, but I’d prefer you to just repost it w/o credit to me (hence no watermark).
Lestat. any plans for the holidays?…
♛Plotting… nothing finalized yet.
Dear Lestat, I wondered if you would give me advice on rather delicate matter. You see, I will be twenty in few days and I was never in a relationship. That in itself never bothered me, but lately everyone around me started to date someone, and it made me feel bit lonely. At the same time, I haven’t found someone yet that I would connect with on that level or that would share my interests, and I don’t think it would be right to date someone just for the sake of it. Any advice?
♛You’re not yet 20 years old? There is plenty of time for you! There is no rush. Appreciate the other flowers blooming in the garden around you, let their happiness be your happiness. See if you can learn from their example.
There is an awful pressure in this modern age that is similar to the pressure of my mortal years, that being single is somehow considered as “a failure” or “missing out.” I can’t agree with this judgment, and I hope you don’t either.
I have been in enough relationships to tell you that they are wonderful, but they are not all rainbows and

all the time. It’s a part-time job! It takes effort! Being in a relationship is not an end point, it’s the beginning of a shared chapter with someone.
But I won’t lie to you, you might not ever find love. Or it may be right around the corner. Who can tell?
Let go of any feelings of inadequacy for this, if you feel it. Too many people think of life as a series of required chapters or items on a checklist that must be accomplished, and therefore, the failure to achieve them implies a failure in you.
Absolutely not so. “Failure.” “Success.” Let go of society’s narrow definition of these concepts. It’s far worse to settle for having someone in your life who goes through the motions of loving you, but doesn’t. Someone you don’t love. Someone you project your fantasies onto. Someone you want so badly to love you the way you need to be loved. So many people fall into this trap; locked to someone they end up despising sooner or later.
All the loves of my life were found when I pushed past my comfort zone.* One thing is certain, love won’t find you if you close yourself off from the possibility and opportunity. I found Louis in pursuit of keeping my diet strictly evildoer, and there he was, too dignified to do it himself, throwing himself to the wolves in the hopes that they would slay him. Something led me there, among all the other dens of sin I might have gone to that night. Did fate lead me to him? I like to think so.
*Not that I have much of a comfort zone to begin with *shrugs*
You are whole as you are. Look at your triumphs in this life, look how far you’ve come. Look where you want to go, what you want to do. Give yourself some love.
And then love may just find you.
Hello dear.. I think some people might confuse your fan blog page with an opinionless news source of sorts. You were not hired or elected or whatever and i think that is important to remember for some. You have opinions and just like anyone else you are allowed to voice them as you please. I actually would find it disrespectful if you falsely promoted a book you yourself have mixed feelings about for whatever reason. I respect your opinions and we can make up our own mind about the book.. x
^^^THIS. THANK U *attack hugs* This is what I’ve been trying so hard to tell everyone, you understand me, thank you thank you thank you <3<3<3
I’ll add a disclaimer at the top of the blog in the new layout. I’m not official, not affiliated, not a spokesperson of VC.
I hope this isn’t too silly for you Lestat, but if you are acting as the vampire Saint Nick this year, does this mean Marius is going to be the Krampus? ;3
♛He’s certainly been something of a Krampus to certain people in the last few years, so it wouldn’t be a tough role for him to play *cracking up*
