So I’m re-reading the Vampire Chronicles, and discovering all over again that I love the way Anne Rice depicts sexuality, attraction, and affection in her books, not just among vampires, but among humans as well.
People in platonic relationships never hesitate to say that they love each other, to show affection, to kiss.
Sexual orientation doesn’t seem to exist, really, especially with the undead. It seems that a century or two of immortality has rendered most of them indifferent in regards to gender.
I love the repeated narrative of “I hate you, but I haven’t seen you in a really long time, and I missed hating you in person, so come here and let me hug you and tell you how beautiful you are.” There is something very poignant in the way that they treasure the familiar.
Consent is super important in sexual situations in her books, and in simple social situations, and in regards to the giving and receiving of blood.
It’s recognized that people who have been made vampires without their consent are victims of trauma, even if they are men.
For @i-want-my-iwtv, who had “Lestat and Claudia have a teaparty with blood in the cups, Louis is not amused” for a prompt. I like Lestat and Claudia by themselves when I finished because it had a creepy/funny vibe. Imagine just before Louis walks in all =_= if you will.
Hello, I decided to give you guys something little, quite literally. I will send these to someone, no matter which part of the world you live as long as you have address I can post snail mail to (and that you’re willing to share your address with me, of course). The lucky one will be drawn with a numeral generator, and I will contact the chosen person via message here at tumblr.

You can both reblog and like, but only one time of each.
I will check that the winner is not reblogging/liking with a “giveaway blog”. If they are, I will pick another winner.
I will not be able to disburse tracking for the mail, sorry (I’m jobless student and Finland is an expensive place to live in)
Thank you for all these great years at tumblr, for supporting me and sharing your tips and advice. You’re wonderful and I feel lucky to have so genuine people following me at here.
AAAAAAAH THIS IS SO GREAT CHRISTMAS SWEATERS I love Armand’s esp. omfg
I know it’s hard to not do angst with Daniel and Armand (ha, I’ve tried) but I definitely say mission accomplished bc I yelled and grinned so big I hurt my face ;D
I love your designs for them and the details: I’m a sucker for glasses!Daniel (ty) and the scarf motif is great. both of them being wrapped in it but Armand’s portion tightly coiled, Daniel’s loose.
It’s so hard to do merry things for Christmas in general without it being cheesy (especially with these knuckleheads) but this is sweet and funny without veering that way at all. ❤ ❤ ❤ I LOVE IT SO MUCH
