The name sounds familiar… I saw this post on FB tho. Looks like she’s one of AR’s biggest “People of the Page” FB fans. I don’t know anything beyond that. Anyone else have more on why Granny/Lynda is such a favorite?
It depends where your headcanon stops in canon. If you accept all of canon, according to Anne Rice, “Daniel
and
Marius love each other very much” in Prince Lestat. daniel-james-molloy asked Anne Rice that question explicitly and was answered without a definitive Yes or No:
Yes, Daniel was romantically involved with Armand in QotD; Armand is Daniel’s maker. So if your headcanon stops at that book, then they are still a couple.
Armand was romantically involved with Marius in TVA and B&G; Marius is Armand’s maker.
Other people might accept all of canon, so for them, Daniel/Marius might be a real ship. They’re living together. Armand is living elsewhere with other vampires.
But the vampire couple in Only Lovers Left Alive live apart and still love each other deeply, so it all depends on what your own headcanon of what a ship is. Can it survive long-distance? Can it survive polyamory? Does it have to be monogamous?
Hi, so I’m dying to know what the VC Tumblr fandom thinks about vampire sexuality.
IMO the fact that vampires don’t have sex doesn’t necessarily make them asexual.
I’m thinking about Marius with Amadeo in Blood and Gold, and Louis with the mortal boy in Paris.
There is a passage in IWTV that goes roughly like this: “He pressed his whole body against my legs and I felt the firm strength of his sex under his clothes. A moan escaped from my lips…”
– I translated this myself from the Spanish version, but you get the idea 😉
I’d be thrilled to further discuss vampire sexuality.
That’s all, keep up the good work! 🙂
#Your headcanon may vary.
So I’ve discussed this topic at length in my tags for it: #asexuality, #asexual, #sex, #sexuality, #lets talk about sex.
It all depends on your idea of what sex is, but Anne Rice has been definitive about it:
The scene that you mention between Louis and the mortal boy: Louis is still capable of finding that boy’s hard on to be arousing, but he’s getting alot of sensory input in that moment, and Armand is probably manipulating him psychologically, too.
Marius/Amadeo: Amadeo is mortal and experiencing things differently than Marius is.
I’ll open this to discussion, what are your opinions/headcanon on Ricean vampire sexuality?
ooc; For anyone that wondered, this was a thing on her Facebook today. Both the vampires not having sex and the Daniel & Marius bit.
//Awww. That’s sweet. (Not sarcastic. It is.) I definitely got the impression they cared very much for each other in PL. I still don’t read it as a romantic relationship. I don’t know it, it just doesn’t feel that way to me in the text. But I can see it being a very loving and intimate relationship. If it gets passionate, though, I see there being problems, given that Marius is so controlling and Daniel does not like being controlled. Will be interesting to see how this goes in Blood Paradise.
I do hope Armand and Daniel reconnect in some meaningful way (which doesn’t have to be at the expense of Dan’s relationship with Marius, whatever that is – I contend they’re not very monogamous creatures anyhow). But really, I just want to see them TALK, goddamn it. Nod at each other. SOMETHING.
That is an awful legacy of names! Lestat and also Alucard aka that name low budget horror films would use when they couldn’t buy the rights to dracula/subtly foreshadow the fact that their character was a vampire shhh secret though. I want a fucking reality tv series of #vampireboy
It must be strange growing up with a fictional character’s name, especially as a “Lestat” baby. Whenever I mention the series there’s a chance I’ll get negativity bc there’s still homophobia out there, etc. I actually do try to bring it up relatively soon when deciding on making a new friend, bc if they reveal themselves to be homophobic or otherwise treat the VC like it’s shameful in any regard, then I don’t really want to waste my time with that person.
But I don’t think I could name a future son of mine "Lestat.“ Maybe I’d choose one of the more normal names, and there are plenty! I’ve seen alot of cat and dog (and apparently there’s a mule in NOLA?) Lestats, and a few young boys named Lestat on the interwebs. Kids will tease anyone for any reason, having a strange name won’t help this "Lestat-Armon Alucard.”
Noteworthy: I met a little Akasha (2 yrs old!) at a booksigning. She definitely lived up to the name, throwing such a tantrum that she had to be removed from the building by her father, she never got to meet her maker AR.
(^This is not her mom in the pic. Just a fan thrilled to hold Akasha in her arms!)
I imagine Lestat is excellent with technology and social networking but pretends that he isn’t for the sake of trolling, or bc he enjoys it when Louis thinks he knows something Lestat doesn’t.
Lestat likes having Louis explain things because Louis is very thorough and patient, which Lestat finds irresistibly endearing ❤
//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.
OOC; So I found this on Anne’s Facebook page. It was so amusing, but I have to agree. I love the wedding description she wrote for her fans [wedding des.]. It was fun and adorable, and keeping within context with the historical ruling in the US. I agree with her on this one and just her general positive attitude towards Lestat. It’s so easy to criticize him. Lestat he doesn’t make it easy. I get that.
AR:“Please, let’s be optimistic. Allow my Brat Prince some hope!” – I have a sneaking suspicion that it was just Lestat posing as AR.
The last comment gets mewhiningforcenturies this was us yesterday….WAS IT NOT? WHERE IS THE LIE THO? Post from last night.
“Anne, please, A girl can only cry so many happy tears in one night.”
^I’m pissing myself laughing because the comment about how you can only cry so many happy tears in one night was me.
