So wait, I can come back? I can finally come back to my fandom and contribute fan works?! I was also around during the fanfiction purge, knew authors who were slapped with orders from Anne’s lawyers and helped hide secret archives of VC fic so this? This has made my day!
Yes! Welcome back to the party *u* It seems that Certain People are content to live and let live re: fanworks.
(But we are rational about it, we only post to sites like AO3 publicly; we still keep some things as They Must Be Kept, just in case…)
YES thank u so much! I am the infamous Fanfiction Writer Burnadette (on AO3, shameless self-promotion). What a lovely compliment all the way from Germany! *flails*
more fic to come, if I can kick myself into doing it, and messages like these are definitely encouraging!
I have to turn this into a little appreciation post to Lady Diana Elisabeth Raum, because I’ve been meaning to do so: I LOOOOOOVE your fanart. LOVE.
We are going to need to see all of your VC fanart. ALL ♥u♥
Start a tumblr or let @sam-biteback post it. Because your Lestat/Louis piece is one of my absolute favorites of them (and we need this in better scan quality so we can see the details better):
Louis: “What have you done this time, Lestat?”
Lestat: “Shhhh, Louis, let’s enjoy the silence of your not knowing… for a few more minutes.”
You probably wanted a REAL answer, but I don’t want to spoil ya. Hit the jump for spoilation.
(For headcanons and to talk to a Viktor RPer, go to @viktor-de-lioncourt (who uses Jordan Sörbom as a FC) or @roselioncourt, both of whom care quite a lot more than I do about this character.)
Viktor is Lestat’s biological son, created during the course of Prince Lestat. In the mid-90s (I think?) Lestat had encountered some vampire doctor/scientists (they are vampires trained in and interested in the study of vampirism, running a lab just for that) and they *ahem* collect a biological sample from Lestat, with his full compliance.
HOWEVER, without his consent or knowledge, they use his sample to make baby Viktor! Baby Viktor has a mortal mother, so presumably, the DNA needed a little tinkering to make it work; Viktor is considered partially a clone, and in appearance he seems to be a carbon copy of Lestat (slightly taller, IIRC).
Lestat doesn’t know he fathered him until Viktor is no longer a baby (he’s at least 20?) and is used as a pawn in the shaking up of the vampiric matriarchy, so to speak. Father and son get reunited, everybody’s happy.
It’s unclear whether Lestat is also Viktor’s vampiric maker, he had asked Marius to be involved, and we might get more specifics in the next VC, Blood Paradise.
Louis is always Lestat’s fave, tho! We all know that.
I never thought I’d agree with that one time I saw someone say Hiddleston could make a decent Lestat and I disagreed because I couldn’t ‘see’ it,, but now that I’ve seen this, I might have to change my gods damned mind.
Well he already played the vampire Adam, “a post-millennial version of that glory-hog Lestat.” (an appropriate description by Amy Nicholson) I bet he could do our Brat Prince justice!
He’d *pounce* on Luca Pasqualino, whether he was playing Nicolas or not! ;D Very yummy indeed.
But, for my tastes, I think Luca would make a better Santino than Nicolas. Luca’s got great Italian features (wiki says his parents are both of Italian descent, from Sicily and Naples) and Santino requires that.
With the right lighting, Luca’s eyes are really dreamy, too. Commanding.
^idk the context here but I like him w/ the beard. Yeah that’s why I’m including it…
