ooc; I don’t believe she’s ever stated they watched HoW. She did mention True Blood though.
One of my fav things as a fan of both VC and Hell on Wheels is that Anson Mount (actor behind Cullen Bohannon) is also a fan of VC. Which, btw, everyone should watch Hell on Wheels because it’s such a great series.
“You would not believe the laughter in this house when vampires come to watch True Blood on HBO. They think it’s hilarious.”
I feel like I’ve seen fanart of them all squished onto a couch together for tv/movie night, but I can’t find it ;A; If anyone has this fanart – or wants to draw it – please gimme.
THERE ARE NO SILLY QUESTIONS ONLY SILLY WAYS OF ANSWERING THEM. j/k. Lemme catch u up a teeeensy bit.
[^Rare fanart of Lestat and AR. I think he’s trying to convince her to go for a ride! (source unknown)]
[^Another rare fanart of Lestat and AR, by NazNemati]
So yes, AR does post fanfic of her own like this from time to time, and I only have a few reblogged, created a new tag for it tonight: #Current vampire happenings. If anyone has more of these, please send them my way!
“…We’re sitting in a cafe together right now, him and me,… And he’s doodling on a paper napkin with a fine black pen as we talk. His gorgeous yellow hair is loose and long over his shoulders. His skin’s burned because he does that often now, let the sun burn it because it’s easier than covering up the preternatural whiteness, the inevitable gleam. He’s pondering. I’m pondering. As if we had a choice.”
The watching-Hell-on-Wheels-together part, well, I can’t find it. She has mentioned how much she loves Anson Mount as a frontier!Lestat, tho:
That’s my job, yes, I am the Great and Awesome Dealer of the VC fandom ❤ All of my addicts are wonderful customers hehehe 😉
Of course you may! Go right ahead and add translations. It seems like you were doing so already, if this is your page:
Anne Rice Vampire Chronicles México.I knew that people would download and repost things from my blog. That’s why I started adding my url name on some of them, so that people would know the source.
I don’t add my url on things that I worry are too offensive, or on things that I didn’t really add anything to, or make too much of an effort on, like screencaps and production stills 😉
garama‘s fanart is a great illustration for this answer bc when you compare these two relationships, there are similarities, but you can see very clearly that there are almost 4 characters here: mortal!Nicki, mortal!Lestat, vampire!Louis, and vampire!Lestat. The 2 pairings physically resemble eachother, but there’s alot of deeper stuff going on that’s described by those poses.
“…but if I did have to choose, the companion would be Louis. My longest most enduring friendship and love affair in this world was with Louis. And though his limitations can be maddening, they can also be as inspiring to me as his virtues… the best choices we make are not always the wise choices. Sometimes they are intensely emotional choices. And I’ve always had a deep Romantic respect for emotion. My love for Louis transcends wisdom. And I may need the pain as much as the consolation that an eternal relationship with Louis would involve.“
I’m inclined to agree with Lestat on that. Lestat would choose Louis over everyone. They have an inexplicable chemistry that binds them hopelessly together.
Do you really want my full opinion? Hit the jump.
Nicolas was Lestat’s first real long-term relationship at a time when Lestat desperately needed love and nurturing and wanted to give it back, too. Nicolas is the first person who really listened to him and they both helped each other immensely.
Lestat was a different person when he was with Nicolas; quite literally! They were mortal lovers, and they were in their early 20s, they went through alot together in escaping from their homeland to Paris, and thrived there. Their relationship was horribly shattered when Lestat was kidnapped from their apartment, and things were never the same between them after that happened. Even aside from that, Nicolas revealed that he had a different mission in life than Lestat did:
“And when we decided to go to Paris, I thought we would starve in Paris, that we would go down and down and down. It was what I wanted, rather than what they wanted, that I, the favored son, should rise for them. I thought we would go down! We were supposed to go down.” – Nicolas de Lenfent, TVL
So even in your Alternate Universe suggestion that Lestat could be with Nicki again, I don’t think that relationship could ever really work, because deep down Nicolas and Lestat always wanted different things out of life.
Lestat was about 31 mortal yrs old when he met Louis, and he had grown and experienced a lot. He was more mature, more in control of his emotions. He saw vampiring as being a great adventure and he saw the potential in Louis to be the companion he always wanted. He was right. Louis has been one of the strongest vampires in the coven, without needing to display it in physical feats of strength, but in emotional ones, and in the choices he’s made.
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?
