Its funny, I was very “leather and lace” in high school, I wore the frills, lacey scarves and gloves and sleeves, feathered details, but always wore this black motorcycle jacket over it, and matching boots under the skirt, and that clip in the film of Lestat tugging the lace to show out of the sleeves of his jacket is one of those iconic fashion moments for me.

omg you must’ve looked wickedly cool. It’s an excellent combo. The girlier the lace, the grungier the leather, the better.

Re: it being an iconic moment: Oh I agree! It’s one of his most iconic moments in the movie, for sure, specifically bc it relates to fashion and a little bit about just being comfortable; bc when sleeves are bunched up like that it limits your range of motion, not good for driving but i digress. AND because we can see his hands are back to normal, he’s definitely feeling better already, and ready for another adventure… with Daniel this time!

remarried:

what if there was a Queen of the Damned manga adaptation?? 

what if THE STORY OF DANIEL THE DEVIL’S MINION, OR THE BOY FROM INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE in a manga???

Daniel stared hard at the creature before him, this thing that looked human and sounded human but was not. There was a horrid shift in his consciousness; he saw this being like a great insect, a monstrous evil predator who had devoured a million human lives. And yet he loved this thing. He loved its smooth white skin, its great dark brown eyes. He loved it not because it looked like a gentle, thoughtful young man, but because it was ghastly and awful and loathsome, and beautiful all at the same time. He loved it the way people love evil, because it thrills them to the core of their souls.

//I love this paragraph so much because it shows how Daniel is a weird, morbid, twisted guy and he loves Armand for exactly the monster he is, rather than being blinded to his nature by his beauty or something. Which is why I think Armand and Daniel, for all of their problems, have something real: Daniel has always seen through his masks and his appearance and still been fascinated by the creature beneath the shiny veneer.

//OOC: Yeah, so here’s actual the question I asked on Facebook AND the response, for those interested, since there’s a version going around without the question. Never actually asked about sex just the depth of the relationship, but Anne does usually throw that in during ship questions. (I still apply fanon logic since Ursula banged Vittorio in his book. Discrepancies, love it for fic and RP reasons.)

Yeah.. well, we all read PL, right? In this book EVERYONE loves EVERYONE and EVERYTHING in  EVERY moment EVER mentioned! So yeah, of course that Marius loves Daniel. It does not confirm anything.

And sex. Didn’t Lestat say in QOTD that his johnson was like priapus ready for something that could never been performed anymore? Not with pleaure that is. So, well, technically, penetration is possible…but orgasm through that? Nah…

merciful-death said: ooc; Didn’t post the full question because I didn’t want to show disrespect by posting your real name on Tumblr. I apologize.

Yeah, I’d have done the same, Merciful “D”. 😉

//OOC: It was never explicitly stated in PL that Daniel reciprocated feelings for Marius, which is why I asked. With Anne’s response, now we know. Again, the point of this question was the ship, not sex, but the fandom seems incapable of enjoying the happy parts of anything without someone having a fit.

The Vampire Chronicles: If you shipped it, it was or will be canon at some point. The ship whore’s delight.

#ship and let ship

a series i did over a course of time for oramuda of the vampires + Archer quotes. don’t argue our casting logic ok!

Hey, what kind of music does everybody listen to? I think we all know Lestat’s music taste but what about Armand, David, Louis and Marius. I imagine Louis listens to Nirvana or Hozier or classical music.

I could write a thesis on this. DON’T WORRY I WON’T DO THAT.

(BTW, if you’re just looking for music reccs, I have a VC fanmix, fanmix, and music tag for that)

First of all, you have to consider when are they listening to music? It can be solitary or social…

Armand ~

  • Enjoys gathering a small audience and hiring live musicians to play complicated classical pieces. Or asking that vampires who can play things come and entertain them. He still loves Sybelle at the piano, even better that her repertoire has expanded beyond the Appassionata. Antoine has played lively duets with her.
  • Otherwise, Armand throws on huge wireless headsets while perusing art galleries. He’ll listen to anything others recommend to him, he shares a Spotify account so that anyone can try out his playlist, which has a broad spectrum of musical styles. 
  • Armand is drawn to works that are used in ice skating competitions, oddly. It is a recent obsession.

David ~

  • Musicals, anything upbeat. Has a love for Spanish culture, Flamenco, like the Gypsy Kings. Without much urging, Lestat will put on makeup and dress up in a Flamenco gown and dance with David in public!
  • David’s rainy-day guilty pleasure are artists like Michael Bolton, for when he’s home alone, feeling left out of the coven activities.
  • He also loves Sting; the song that hooked him was Desert Rose, which Marius sent him on a mix-CD because of the Arabic singer, Cheb Mami.

Louis ~

  • It takes a long time for Louis to warm up to new bands, and he likes a few pieces by Hozier which Lestat added to Louis’ outdated iPod. It’s an older gen model but it still works fine, so Louis doesn’t see a need to replace it. 
  • He prefers pieces without lyrics, ambient works that he can melt into while reading. 
  • The Blade Runner movie that Armand got him to watch the first time made Louis a Vangelis fan and a fan of film soundtracks. He often plays the Gone Girl soundtrack.

Marius ~

  • Daniel and Lestat have introduced him to alot of modern music. Marius will listen while he paints. Marius is the biggest Hozier fan of the four discussed.
  • Whatever will inspire during painting, but he will also go to live performances of just about anything to be sociable ❤

hey sorry if u get asked this a lot or have a link on ur blog (I’m on mobile so I can’t see it) but do u have any blog recommendations that post a lot of the vampire chronicles? im super new to the fandom & it’s hard finding blogs that are still active! thanks so much in advance <3

Hellooooo! Welcome to the Vampire Crackicles our dark little alley of tumblrland.

No worries, I actually rarely get asked that… every so often a post will come along “REBLOG IF YOU’RE IN THE VC FANDOM” but those aren’t the best resource bc blogs do go inactive.  

Partly bc of the unpredictable nature of blog life partly bc I’m lazy, I don’t have a link to blogs that post alot of VC, but the two that immediately come to mind (bc they inspired me to make this blog) are vampchronfic. and vampire-chronicles-appreciation. Also, there’s jardinsalvaje and annericevcmexico, which have alot of VC fanart, etc., and some content in Spanish. 

VC RP blogs would be a good place to start bc the RPers often post ooc (out of character) about the VC… so you could check these tags on my blog:

RP, for RPers, Bump, headcanon, headcanon accepted, damn you and your perfect headcanon perfection.

When you’re on desktop tumblr, you can check out the blogs I follow (they’re all in my header, in the “following” box) and those might be of interest to you, too. Fair warning that there are a plenty of non-VC fandom blogs there bc of reasons ;]

Hope that helps!
