!! Awww! I offer it bc I had wanted to name my cat that name ages ago, and lost, my two little brothers outvoted me, so we had “Miss Kitty.”
^like Louis, Miss Kitty was devastatingly good at all card- and strategy-related games, lol. Looks like she’s got a railroad and an orange property there. Probably going easy on us at first, letting us all think we have chance against her, pffffft.
She was a 13th birthday present for ME, one would think I should get to choose her name! Miss Kitty. Uncreative. But it did suit her, she was too gentle, very classy, such a lady. Definitely did not have the spice in her to be a real Clawdia ;] Later on, living on my own, I adopted an adult cat already named Celeste, and of course I was pleased because Theatre des Vampires! She was a stronger personality, my Celeste. She set the tone, and she destroyed a lot of offending glassware.
Merci beaucoup! Good to know I am achieving the goals of interruptive-laughter-causing and bursting blood vessels through fanworks! ❤ YOU SHALL CONTINUE TO GET MORE OF THIS HIGH QUALITY MADNESS.
Cross-stitch bookmarks with VC quotes! I admit that my initial reaction is Yes DO THE THING!
Second reaction, must warn you, this type of fanwork is toeing the line of copyright infringement… :-
HOWEVER, I have seen Etsy items (and other sites) that have products which used VC quotes over the years, so I’m thinking that quotes may be acceptable… or not worth the legal battle to the copyright holders.
It’s a decorative tile that says: “Your body’s dying. Pay no attention. It happens to us all.” which is a movie!IWTV quote, not canon. It even has Lestat’s name on it, since he says it, and it’s sitting there for sale. I feel like you’re safer with movie quotes, but it’s your choice.
So as far as things to use for your bookmarks, dig around in my #quote and #actual quote tags.
As far as a few of my fave movie!IWTV quotes…
I’m flesh and blood, but not human. I haven’t been human for 200 years.
I’m going to give you the choice – I – never had.
You can pretend it’s wine.
I know nothing of God, or the Devil. I have never seen a vision, nor learned a secret, that would damn or save my soul. And as far as I know, after 400 yrs, I am the oldest living vampire in the world.
Merciful Death, how you love your precious guilt.
I want some more.
Anyone have any quotes they want on bookmarks? Send it to andwefaeries!
Of course you can freely drop such lovely messages my way, my fanged little trash kitten ❤
That’s basically what Lestat is. And Louis. All of them, maybe.
I am so deeply touched by your words. In real life, few people understand this passion of mine, and so I have to hide it from them, and it’s always felt a little bit shameful because of that.
But here, I can let it run totally wild, and to be praised for doing that produces the exact opposite – I’m an absolute delight? A fandom treasure?! My presence is appreciated? My little heart swells with pride ❤
I do need to be told, and often. I’m only human. I am your (cumulative to the whole fandom) fanged little trash kitten. At your service.
It’s fine to ask! It depends on how much (and which) canon and fanfic you have read, and how much you’ve read between the lines.
#Let’s talk about sex
I’d say they both defied definitions, but the short answer would be, mortal!Lestat loves who he loves regardless of their physical container, and mortal!Louis struggled with bisexual/homosexual desires.
Spoilers ahead:
Mortal!Lestat:
I don’t want to try to assign a label like “bisexual” or “pansexual” bc there’s so many labels for orientation now and the definitions are confusing no matter how many definitions I read or how many times ppl try to explain the thing to me 😛
I’d say mortal!Lestat is romantically drawn to someone for their soul first and their physical accessories second. He’s had relationships with men and women, been physically attracted to both.
He had a relationship with Nicolas, for sure. They kissed, they slept together, it was all heavily implied. I doubt vampirebaby!Lestat would have been stalking mortal!Nicolas if they had only been Super Best Friends 5ever.
Lestat didn’t talk about long-term female relationships as a mortal, but that he bedded the village girls (I can’t find a reference but I’m pretty sure he mentions it).
And he bedded one of the actresses in the troupe he tried to run away from home with: “That night, the actress who played my inamorata gave me her own very special and intimate accolades. I went to sleep in her arms…”
He might have had a side fling with the female actresses in the Paris theatre, Renaud’s: “Send flowers for Jeannette and Luchina, the girls I had fought with the most and most loved,”
In ToBT, mortal!Lestat beds a woman (non-con), and has a short but intense relationship with another woman, and returns to her to prove he was telling the truth about himself. She kicks his sorry butt out the door.
Also in ToBT, Lestat wages a campaign of seduction on David Talbot, who does not give in, despite a valiant effort on Lestat’s part!
in later canon, Lestat is powerfully drawn to Dr. Rowan Mayfair and promises he’ll give her the Dark Gift.
Mortal!Louis
He really doesn’t talk much about his pre-vampiring life. Claudia asks him about sex and he tells her:
“It was something hurried, and … it was seldom savored … something acute that was quickly lost. I think that it was the pale shadow of killing.”
Maybe he didn’t want to hurt her feelings, since he knew she could never experience it herself. Maybe he really felt that way.
Personally, I headcanon that Louis might have had a little experience in being with men as a mortal, but Lestat’s the one who really pushed him over the edge. Alot of vampirebaby!Louis’ issues with Lestat could have partly been bc Louis was brought up in a religious frame of mind that meant homosexuality was sinful, so whenever he felt physical and emotional desire for Lestat, he hit himself with a wave of self-hatred 😛
Oh my gods, I never thought I’d ever get a message from a blog as amazing as yours. 0_0 *fangirls in the corner*
I love your blog, by the way. It’s an amazing place to go to get my Vampire Chronicles fix. ^_^
Thanks for such a lovely compliment! I try to help when I can *u* and plus which, I can’t install xkit at certain places where i am expected to not tumblr during the day like what? NO unacceptable! and once i figured out a workaround it seemed like other ppl should be enlightened as they may have a similar issue.
Hehehe… yes I am the drug dealer of the VC fandom and i am PROUD OF OUR PRODUCT it is highly addictive, oui?
There are other fandom fish than me out there who I’ve pursued for friendship and such, and it always gives me a thrill when my senpais notice me, so I try to do that MORE often, as much as I can, for ppl who pursue me, too!
At least for me, it’s always been more about finding ppl who want to visit your fantasy world with you than anything else ❤
