If Eli from let the right one in was some how come in to the vampire chronicles universe how would s(he) acted and how would the other vampires think of her(him). I thought I should let a expert of the vampire chronicles series decide on this. Plus I do love vampire crosssovers and let the right one is my favorite bookmovie.

I’m so flattered you consider me a VC expert, but I’m not a Let Me In/Let the Right One In expert, I’ve only seen the two movie adaptations, and from what I can tell, the vampire rules in it are different than the VC vampires rules.

I do have a post about my thoughts on Eli and that story here.

Among other great things, this vampire story also brought back the idea of having to be invited in, and without that permission, the vampire in question would start having physical reactions! Like a severe allergic reaction! We got the blood tears that not many vampire movies want (or are able) to tackle.

I think Lestat and Armand both would find Eli intriguing and would want to compare all the physiological differences in their vampirism, test those rules, and generally try to get Eli to push at the limits, and maybe learn something new. Whether they would embrace her and add her into the coven, that I don’t know. #Fanfic request! #Fanart request!

Eli seemed to need/prefer a human companion. I should read the book, it would be great to have some backstory re: if there had been any other vampires in Eli’s life, whether Eli had ever considered turning someone… whether that was even possible given Eli’s trapped-in-a-child/tween-body thing. I think Eli at least had a maker in the book version, but I don’t know why they were separated.

^More hugs and love for Eli would have been gr9 ❤ 

 Anyone is free to comment/reblog. 

The gif of Claudia dancing made me think of Lestat taking her to pageants and being her pageant mom. Like fighting her and telling her to do those stupid dance moves. Of course she would be the meanest kid and bullying everyone else. I’m crying!

Keeping Claudia from biting her competition would be the real struggle… that insatiable appetite of hers…

Hi there Lestat =) you once mentioned something about ‘preserving musicians for all eternity’ by giving them the Dark Gift; and I know you’re into Bon Jovi, but what about (my personal favourite) David Bowie? I’m still sad that he’s gone… Not sure why, but he reminded me a bit of you, and I think you two would have gotten along great ;) xx

♛I know! I know, I know…  I adore Bowie. I visited him many times, in the eighties up to more recently. We got along very well. We did a few of his songs and a few of mine together, privately. No recording.

[X] We shared the same sense of humor, for sure. 

Not that I definitely would have given it to him, but we discussed it. He knew what I was. He didn’t want it.

I told him before any of the doctors did, I could sense… that his time was limited. I wasn’t ready to lose him, we both thought he had more time to consider it. 

… Or maybe I did turn him, and he’s living somewhere outside the public eye… you may never know… until he finds you alone at night and you can see his fangs for yourself… *blows a kiss*

//Apologies if I’m remembering incorrectly, but didn’t they give Mojo to an older lady to take care of him, and they sometimes visited…?

You’re right, yes, they did do that in canon, but there is fic in which they eventually brought Mojo to live with them in their home, around the clock, until he grew old (I assume they still dumped him on the little old lady when they went on trips and couldn’t bring him along). So I’ve accepted it as my headcanon ;]

I think this is the best VC blog I’ve ever seen.

Aww thank u so much! I try! So hard!

Just feel like repeating a few things in light of recent posts…

Fandom isn’t just escape into a fantasy world. Fandom is letting the fantasy world supplement us, bolster us, give us hope. Fandom is drawing our friends and loved ones as close as we can, even separated by massive distance, we can at least communicate with and support eachother.

Fandom can stimulate wonderful discussions even if you disagree with someone, and perhaps even enlighten you to smtg you might not have considered before! “The mind, once stretched by a new idea, never returns to its original dimensions.” – Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. (I think? Might be

Ralph Waldo Emerson… idk) 

Homework assignment to everyone out there: Reach out and send a lovely message like this to someone today ❤

Hey Lestat! Do you or any of the VC vampires like snow? By the way this is coming from a person who lives in Minnesota and recently has it’s first major snowfall. Not sure how many inches we got but it’s a lot.

(@thelionscrimsonclaws wrote a gr8 response to a similar ask about snow, very poetic, very touching <3)

♛Minnesota, hm? We do travel to places to ski and romp in the piles of white stuff that we wouldn’t get in New Orleans. Might have to go there next…

image

We love lounging in a cozy cabin to watch the snow fall outside the windows… nothing quite like the inner peace and contemplation snowfall can bring. 

Yes, we love snow. Most of us aren’t bothered by the cold. Louis is, and he will allow me to bundle him in enough layers so he can ski with us, or build snowmen and igloos. However, when he’s warm enough from a fresh kill, he just might strip off enough layers to regain flexibility of movement, he is a masterful snowball assassin, slinking around the forest like a ninja! 

I call Armand “Panchino” sometimes and he doesn’t know why…

Louis what do think about Lestat’s dog, Mojo? Do you like pets or Lestat brings animals despite it drives you crazy?

♠(Louis) It took me some time to warm up to him, and he to me, since our first meeting had gone so badly, but he became a loved member of our home. Lestat does not usually bring home animals. He has plenty of other ways to drive me crazy. As a mortal, I loved horses, and still ride them now. There is a cat who visits. We kept caged birds for some time. In general, I don’t like to keep animals.

[X] Animals instinctively reject us and it is rare to find one who sees us for who we are rather than what we are, and Mojo was such a creature. He could absolutely understand everything we said, and he spoke to us in his own way, we learned his huffs and barks and those happy whines when we would both give him our full petting attention. Lestat still makes some of those noises, secret code sounds which only we know. Mojo has left an indelible mark on us.

*sighs* Mojo was in a way our furry son, and we had to make the hard decision to give him mercy at the end of his life. Letting him go was painful, to say the least. 

Dear Lestat, I didn’t mean to offend you. It was inappropriate of me to behave thusly – I have been known to burn myself when playing with fire. That being said, I admire you for your wit and cleverness and devilish good looks, and I shan’t bother you again. You don’t have to answer this one, I just wanted you to know. And now I bid you goodnight, sweet prince. Sincerely, Helena.

//ooc; It’s okay, no offense taken, he just didn’t want to address all the points in your message, he’s not going to spend his time bickering over pseudonyms. Lestat RPers vary in their portrayal of the character, this Lestat is not a perfect warm and loving cinnamon roll to everyone and he takes jabs right in the middle of being warm and loving. It’s part of his charm. If he’s teasing you, especially about your name, when he comes up with such terrible aliases for himself, it means he’s feeling more comfortable around you, because he doesn’t do that with people he openly dislikes.
