We didn’t conceive you in the normal way one comes by a child. I wish I could say you were made in love, but the entire world knows by now that your conception was fueled by desperation–though I’d beg that, at the end of that dark and frightened tunnel was more love than I properly knew what to do with.
So you were born in darkness and desperation. But you quickly became the light around which our lives revolved.
I came here tonight intending to write a passionate discourse about your life, but all I can focus on is your absence. Do you know how keenly I feel it? How keenly we both feel it?
You no longer lie as a chasm between us, as the ghost that haunts every word we utter to each other, every stolen moment or intimate touch. But you are still there. You are not forgotten.
Tonight the flat is covered in flowers for you. They are on every conceivable surface–I went a bit overboard this time, though I’m not sorry for it. …He will chastise me a bit for it, of course, especially because it will overwhelm him, but he is the one who explained to me that we must each learn to grieve in our own way. This is mine.
Je t’aime, ma fille. Then, now, always.
Bon anniversaire.

So I am aware that I have a very full inbox and I am drafting answers AS WE SPEAK well, y’know, figuratively speaking, as that phrase goes, since I’m not actually speaking right now, but WHATEVER WHATEVER u get the idea. I WILL TURN THIS CAR AROUND SO HELP ME.
I’m gonna queue ‘em up so as not to spam ya. Mixed into my queue are non-ask things, too. If you do not want to see my flood of answers, the tag for them will be “#iwantmyiwtv attack the inbox”
My best friend dreamed last night that Lestat was bringing me to his and Louis’ apartment so Louis would finally meet me, because he wanted to make me a vampire. And they kissed each other, and then later put their arms around me and Lestat said I would be living WITH them. THEN we stumbled over some very young vampire who – apparantly – wanted to do something to me, but Lestat said: “She belongs to us” and “Only I make her a vampire”.
Sounds like a lovely dream!
Lestat would like to point out that:
- He does not actually give the Dark Gift out to EVERYONE
- He does admit that it’s hella fun to do when he does it
- He does admit that he would prefer to do it himself than let Louis do it bc Louis is less experienced and other reasons
- Lestat likes the part in your dream where he got to kiss Louis w/out any arguments
- Lestat said that the “very young vampire” in your dream was not his fault, definitely not a failed daughter-figure.
Nah you’re not slim or pretty enough to be a vampire
ok but like are you trying to tell me that there has never been a fat vampire? a fat person has never been bitten nor has a vampire ever drank enough blood to put on some weight? really?
First of all why would you say that to a stranger on the internet? I feel sorry for Anon, that they felt the need to put someone down this heartlessly. What a gross oversimplification.
How dare you tell someone they’re not pretty or slim enough for anything. Who made you the Decider of Prettiness and Slimness? I didn’t vote for you.
While it’s true that fandoms/media tend not to glamorize fat and/or ugly fictional vampires, they do exist.
@askavampirologist might have more to say on this, but here’s a whole pile of fat and/or ugly vampires some of which I found on a QUICK SEARCH OF TEH GOOGLE which Anon could also have done but was apparently too lazy or cynical to bother with doing.
1. Magnus, Lestat’s maker, is described as being ugly. He’s missing all his teeth except for his fangs. Were they lost/removed before he became a vampire or after? We don’t know. Usually, having all one’s teeth is a necessary element in being considered “attractive,” among other things. [Fanart by J. Oliver, Magnus on the right]
2. Meet Pearl from Blade, a FAT AND UGLY VAMPIRE. Someone made him (I don’t remember if Pearl was m/f) a vampire, was it before he was obese or after? Was it before he got ugly or after? Someone had a reason to do it and it might not have been based on beauty or slimness AT ALL.
3. Here’s Deacon from What We Do in the Shadows, and while I wouldn’t call him FAT, I wouldn’t call him SLIM either. Nor is he attractive to everyone even tho he thinks he is.
4. Here’s a Cassandra Clare quote on the subject: “Maybe they didn’t make vampires out of ugly people. Or maybe ugly people just didn’t want to live forever.”
^While I don’t necessarily agree with her, there could be some truth in that. Not everyone would want to have to kill to live forever, maybe it so happens that “fat” and/or “ugly” people are more compassionate in that regard and wouldn’t be able to do it. Or there have been
“fat” and/or “ugly” vampires who have chosen to die rather than continue vampiring for whatever reasons.
You want some more? Hit the jump.
5. Alan Moore made a “morbidly obese vampire bride” … “a fat monster that spends her day wallowing in the filth of an abandoned movie theater.“ It was part of a Swamp Thing series, I think. [full page here]
6. Lady Luljetta “is a female vampire who resides in the country of Lelitania, where is originally from no one really knows.” [X] There seems to be fanart of her out there! [fanart by @fatline, who will draw any and all fat related draw requests]
7. This is a very real book, I haven’t read it but apparently it’s part of a FAT WHITE VAMPIRE series!
8. Here’s another fat vampire series:
9. Here’s a coupla fat vampires in a cartoon:
10. Here’s a fat vampire kitty from schadenfreudepony:

@luthi69 asked about dream cast for Santino and I have to admit that I don’t remember his story well enough to have a clear picture!
I did recently reread QOTD and he’s in there as part of the Council to Try to Change Power Feminist Akasha’s the Queen’s Brilliant SJW Plan for World Peace. He and Armand represent the Ex-Coven Master Division.
In my #defending Antonio tag, @whiningforcenturies and/or I had this theory that they cast Antonio as Armand when in fact what they really wanted was Santino!
That aside… from my #Santino tag, I likes Antonio Salieri from mozart l’opéra rock (Florent Mothe):
^YUM. I see him as dark, brooding, maybe even w/ facial hair (I don’t remember if it was specified that he has it or not but dammit I want some vampires with at least the OPTION), well-muscled and broad-shouldered and/or nice pecs *u*
Also, and I cannot stress this enough, guyliner.
I’ll open this to everyone. Who would y’all like?
