Do you think that if Claudia was turned at an older age like 18 or something that Louis would of slept with her?

BRACE YOURSELF FOR A WALL OF TEXT©®

(I assume you mean more than just unconscious sleep, which yes, he did sleep with her, that’s canon)

 Y’know that’s smtg I’ve thought about, too. Was it only her body/age that was the obstacle there? She seemed to think so… or so it seems from what Louis shares with us re: just a few times when she even opened the subject with him.

Particularly that time in Europe when they had just killed the Icky Gross Mindless Vampire, and they’re totally exhausted and hungry, and she offers him her wrist:

“ `Drink,’ she whispered, drawing nearer. `Drink.’ And she held the
soft, tender flesh of the wrist towards me. ‘No, I know what to do;
haven’t I done it in the past?’ I said to her.”
<—- REJECTED. I don’t think Claudia shared blood w/ either Lestat or Louis, at least not in any intimate way, ever, which had to have been part of her not-growing-up frustration. 

SO BACK TO THE QUESTION AT HAND: 

No, I don’t think Louis would have slept with Claudia if she had been turned at 18+ bc there were more obstacles than just her physical form. 

  • For one thing, Louis was in a relationship already with Lestat, even though it was a problematic one. 
  • The chemistry between people (even IRL) has to work in that way for there to be any sexual attraction.
  • He always cared for her like a daughter. She was very much his own security blanket, a buffer and a glue between him and Lestat. 
  • She was less human than either of them, which did not seem to be something that made her more attractive, but less comprehensible to him: ” `I love you now with my human nature, if ever had it,’ I said to her.
    “ `Ah yes …’ she answered, still musing. `Yes, and that’s your flaw,
    and why your face was miserable when I said as humans say, ” I hate
    you, “ and why you look at me as you do now. Human nature. I have
    no human nature.’ ”
  • Also, in terms of canon vampire physiology, the Ricean vampires seem to be asexual, blood gives them all the satisfaction they need/want in that regard. It’s in fanon and RP that they’re sexual.

As a side note, claudiaindarkness might have some good opinions on this, bc she often RPs Claudia aged up. thevampire-claudia also had a thread in which Claudia was aged up and *ahem* had some private time with a Louis (merciful-death) if u need some tasteful au smut ;]

Who would like to listen to an hour of me being a pretentious drunk asshole? All of you? That’s what I thought, here you go. 

This is not VC, but WHATEVA WHATEVA I do what I want.

Notbutseriouslyy’all, this is the artist who convinced me that a really good comparison could be drawn between Tony Stark and Lestat de L., and now I can’t unsee it, so you should follow her and read her comic and also she is the beautiful mind & hand behind this fanart:

 ^Bonus points for Lestat having an opinion on a Twilight character.

Glorfindel, of the House of the Golden Flower.

Why do I ship him and Ser Loras O_O

Hey, looks like Lestat to me! What say, vc folk?

Lestat and Glofindel have many things in common, including dying and being kicked out of ‘heaven’.

Sounds about right to me.
