Louis, I want you to be my Santa and not Lestat; because Lestat should be on the spoiled and naughty list. Santa Louis, I would like some new books, and to interview you, mon cherie. Also any kind of food will be appreciated. Combat mio, Lestat. ♡♡♡

♠(Louis) Lestat loves being on the Naughty list, it seems that he invents new ways to top that list every year… *sigh*

Why he also wants to play Santa, I assume it feeds his retail addiction, or he thinks it will earn him a place on the Nice list at the last second… At any rate, he cast himself in the role, and he might just fight you if he thinks you’re trying to usurp him, give his red velvet three-piece suit to someone else, even if that someone is me *rolls eyes*

I’m not a Santa, I don’t send gifts. I wouldn’t know what foods to send, we stock up on candy for the neighborhood trick-or-treaters every year… I have to ask a neighbor what her children like in order to know what to buy. What foods do people send these days? Drink elements like liquor, coffee, and tea, those I can understand. Baked goods would be cold on arrival. I’ve seen fruit bouquets. Isn’t food best when served freshly prepared? I wouldn’t know.

As for books, there are libraries, and Lestat is always urging me to borrow books rather than own them, we have so many books as it is, and the more precious ones take special storage and care, so I can’t wholly disagree with him.

Interview me? What’s left to be said that hasn’t been put down on paper already? You can ask me questions here, I will consider answering. 

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…
