Have you seen the yuri plisetsky welcome to the madness video that came out today? If you’ve been on tumblr you probably have because it’s trending and everyone is going insane. His performance def reminded me of rockstar!Lestat
Oh wow, no, I had not been on tumblr all day today, I didn’t see it until now… thanks for sharing it, yes! Very Lestatuesque! Lestat would probably be wild about YOI.
Can we get an ice skating AU plz? Writers? Artists? #FANART REQUEST #FANFIC REQUEST.
Re: Armand/lestat ff. Definitely most like the 1st with lots of sex(ual tension) and much angst. I’m gonna go ahead and say that the A/L tag on ao3 is SEVERELY LACKING PEOPLE. I would write fanfic (lol I’m typing this in creative writing class) but I’m too lazy, it would likely suck, and I’m not very confident in my smut writing abilities. I’ve read a few 10/10 ones on there though and some really good Armand/Daniel fics (shoutout to monstersinthecosmos, I’ve read a lot of hers) I need more ff!!
I feel ya! We need more Lestat/Armand fanfic and fanart! #FANFIC REQUEST #FANART REQUEST. With and without lots of sex(ual tension) and all amounts of angst and fluff <333 and yes, @monstersinthecosmos is one of my fave fanfic writers, too.
BTW, I have one short Lestat/Armand fic on AO3… *scoots this link in…* since you’re thirsty for A/L…
A Brief Reprieve – After the events of Prince Lestat, Lestat reflects on certain aspects of his new spirit animal, snuggled up lovingly with Armand by a fire in winter. Slightly AU in that they are snuggled up together lovingly by a fire in winter!
[^Here’s a fanart of A/L for you, source unknown, even reverse-image searched. Tell me the source if you know it!]
Anon, hey, if you’re in creative writing class, then you’re learning, you’re starting out *u* You could be a writer of 10/10 A/L ff yourself someday. The laziness you feel might be more of a fear of failure; I recognize that’s what laziness is for me when I have a mountain of fanworks I intend to do and I’d just rather… y’know… rewatch an episode of the Walking Dead.
ANYWAY Lestat and Armand have referred to eachother in canon as being brothers of a sort, so I tag them #murder brothers, if you want more Lestat/Armand action in my blargh.
Writing can suck at any time: whether you’re just starting out or even when you’re a published author, but there can also be good stuff nestled in among the suck, and like I was often told about drawing, you have to get a ton of bad drawings out before you can get to the good ones. With writing, it’s plot bunnies you want, and good turns of phrase, good dialogue… Then you have to nurture your plot bunnies, and encourage them to multiply by spending time and effort feeding them or talking about them with others. It’s also like exercise, at least for me. It’s a habit/muscle that needs training and attention. It’s been enormously helpful for me to have @wicked-felina as a collaborator, bc we do push eachother to be productive ❤ Your class is probably doing that!
I personally feel like everyone can write, whether you write superficial or deep topics or anything in between, it’s all wanted in fandom. We just had a post going around about VC characters playing Dungeons & Dragons (an anon asked @monstersinthecosmos about that and others jumped in, so yes, that’s pretty superficial, but it’s still something the fandom wants to speculate about! Who knows, a fanfic about that could lead to the exploration of deeper issues.
More on writing under the cut, cut for length.
For me, writing is about 1 or more of these basic setups, sometimes combined and interwoven:
- (a) presenting a problem and exploring it,
- (a) presenting a problem,
exploring it, and (b) offering a solution,
- (a) presenting a problem, exploring it,
(b)
offering what the author feels is a BAD solution and © showing the consequences of that bad solution.
QOTD could fall into the third one: “The Queen of the Damned, Akasha, notices over the years that (a) there is a ton of war on earth, and she has concluded that it’s due entirely to men, so (b) she decides the solution is to kill off 90% of the men, and she starts doing that and © the other vampires try to talk her out of it, bc it’s ludicrous, and so forth and so on.”
^Now there are alot more things going on than that in that book, lots of interwoven issues that are and are not affected by this main plot.
With writing, at least for me, I like to ask What would Louis/Lestat/etc. think about X situation, place, etc.? Even something as superficial as dessert. Would Armand be jealous that he didn’t get to try some of the really fancy desserts that we have these days like water cake? Would he buy them and prod at them anyway? Would he read food reviews just to try to experience this stuff or not care at all? And so much the better if it DOES lead to something at least a little deeper like Yes, that’s why he made mortal!Daniel try everything on a menu and describe it in detail, he was living vicariously through Daniel. Writing can let you explore superficial and deeper topics.
As far as the smut, I feel you on that, I haven’t written much in that category either. I’ve read some amazing smut so my bar for that is set very high (and I have alot of pet peeves about the writing of it), but someday I’ll conquer that, too. The thing with smut is, is there a point? Is it PWP (”porn w/o plot” or “plot, what plot?”)? Or is it the consensual culmination of a slow burn of like 10k words? Is it a power struggle (Like with that kind of sexual scene between Lestat and Armand in TVL when Armand bites Lestat w/o asking first)? Is it the story of someone’s first time and the awkwardness that might surround that? So smut can be considered a topic like any other, and can be explored like any other.
Anon, don’t be so hard on yourself, start slow, dip your toe in, look at fic you love and try to figure out what makes it so good for you! Don’t be afraid to fail.
imagine for a moment Lestat And Friends playing d&d
THIS IS AN AMAZING IDEA and I sat on this in my inbox for a long time because I don’t know that much about D&D and I wish I had more to add to this situation. But like, YEAH like D&D Night at Trinity Gate, third Wednesday every month, sounds perfect. Everyone can come over. I’m more partial to the idea that it’s Armand & Friends and that Lestat comes over and crashes the party and acts like a douche but yeah man I think this DEFINITELY HAPPENS.
@sheysira @justsomespacedust @saintambrose DO YALL HAVE THOUGHTS ABOUT THIS?
#FANFIC REQUEST #FANART REQUEST
Oh man. A small selection because apparently my brain took this and ran with it a bit
“No, Lestat, being a bard does NOT mean you sing all your dialogue”
Daniel as DM because he’s the only one who’s even remotely unbiased
“I am going to smite you SO hard, you won’t even know what smote you. Say bonjour to my TWO-HANDED BROADAXE, you little goblin shit!” *rolls a critical miss*
“Oh, that’s great. Just great. I can’t believe you just said that. We have ONE healer in this party, so do you think just once you could keep your big mouth shut and try NOT to get us all killed?”
“Well maybe if St Francis over here *jabs thumb in Louis’ direction* had picked some USEFUL skills instead of “talking to animals” this wouldn’t have happened”
“Pardon? My charisma stats alone have saved this mission like three times THIS EVENING”
//meanwhile Armand is a min/maxing munchkin who number crunches all his stats and barely misses breaking the game
//Nicolas rolls bard and insists Lestat reroll priest/cleric “if he wants to be so ‘good’”
//totally. Spends points and money with extreme deliberation and keeps absolute track of his gear and any and all bonuses so he never forgets to make use of them at opportune moments
//y e p. Meanwhile Lestat playing chaotic neutral or some shit just so he can fuck with Armand with impunity
//I have no idea how to play D&D but you know I am ALL about COVEN GAME NIGHT!!!!!
I guess you’d say I’m as new as they come since I’ve just watched Interview With A Vampire, right now I’m curious as to what did Lestat do or where did he go after he got control of the car?
Bonjour! (Ok so now that you’ve set foot past the threshold, you’re going to have to read the books to really get involved in this fandom. There’s far too much in canon that’s not in movie!IWTV.)
But for funsies let’s consider it: Where did Lestat go and what did he do after he got control of the car? Well, geographically, he was heading away from San Francisco on the Golden Gate Bridge and dawn was approaching rapidly, so he would’ve had to stop and find shelter on the other side ASAP. He probably had to bury himself somewhere in the Kirby Cove Campground. I don’t think he would’ve had enough time to turn Daniel that night. Maybe he tied Daniel up somewhere nearby, or maybe Daniel agreed to stand by and keep watch for the day? FANFIC/FANART REQUEST.
[X] So technically, and I hate to break it to ya, but Lestat *riding off into the sunrise* w/ Daniel is not canon. They added that to the end of the movie to end on a lighter note than they might have otherwise.
In the book, Daniel goes looking for Lestat in NOLA and finds Armand instead, hilarity ensues.
Plot and ships would have had to shuffle around to accommodate a Lestat/Daniel ship. I ship them as a BroTP, if that does anything for ya.
So now: read the book!
has anyone written the incredibly ridiculous coffeshop AU premise for Louis and Lestat yet? Like, is there a Vamp Chron Coffee Shop AU?
are they all human for this?
Like for some reason Louis is the moody neighborhood barista introvert and he probably doesn’t NEED to work the counter, probably he OWNS the damn coffee shop because his family is loaded but he just wanted a quiet place to read and an excuse to buy an industrial latte machine, but NOW he has a damn coffee shop and this OBNOXIOUS, utterly obnoxious customer who is also very blond comes in near closing all the goddamn time, and Louis hates this guy’s guts, like, so hard, and Obnoxious Blond is always trying to flirt and god he isn’t even that funny and he probably doesn’t even KNOW HOW TO READ. Louis hates him. So much. So, so much. Louis hates him and his stupid pretty eyes. Why does he come here? WHY WON’T HE LEAVE?
And then Lestat makes his move and then they make out wildly and probably break furniture, the end.

Do you watch Yuri on Ice? <3
Tbh, I’ve only seen a few episodes so far, I’m waiting until it’s all broadcast and then I can binge it from the beginning ;D
But I really would love a VC figure skating AU… #fanfic request, #fanart request… Reminds me of this… @thacmis‘s Thor, Loki, Fandral figure skating AU magicalness…
“I Gotcha” by @thacmis. It’s Thor/Loki and it’s adorable.
If Eli from let the right one in was some how come in to the vampire chronicles universe how would s(he) acted and how would the other vampires think of her(him). I thought I should let a expert of the vampire chronicles series decide on this. Plus I do love vampire crosssovers and let the right one is my favorite bookmovie.
I’m so flattered you consider me a VC expert, but I’m not a Let Me In/Let the Right One In expert, I’ve only seen the two movie adaptations, and from what I can tell, the vampire rules in it are different than the VC vampires rules.
I do have a post about my thoughts on Eli and that story here.
Among other great things, this vampire story also brought back the idea of having to be invited in, and without that permission, the vampire in question would start having physical reactions! Like a severe allergic reaction! We got the blood tears that not many vampire movies want (or are able) to tackle.
I think Lestat and Armand both would find Eli intriguing and would want to compare all the physiological differences in their vampirism, test those rules, and generally try to get Eli to push at the limits, and maybe learn something new. Whether they would embrace her and add her into the coven, that I don’t know. #Fanfic request! #Fanart request!
Eli seemed to need/prefer a human companion. I should read the book, it would be great to have some backstory re: if there had been any other vampires in Eli’s life, whether Eli had ever considered turning someone… whether that was even possible given Eli’s trapped-in-a-child/tween-body thing. I think Eli at least had a maker in the book version, but I don’t know why they were separated.
^More hugs and love for Eli would have been gr9 ❤
