So the other day I was reading The Vampire Lestat, and I was at the part where Lestat played the violin for Akasha and Enkil and then Akasha freaked out and screamed and smashed the violin then things went down–but anyways. At that specific part, I’m pretty sure I started actually seeing it and hearing every single note and I heard Akasha’s screams and after that scene was over, I tore myself from the book and I felt dizzy and I felt like I had a beautiful nightmare and just ?? what was that—
Anne Rice be like: it can be a sweet dreeeam or a beautiful nightmaaare
My best friend dreamed last night that Lestat was bringing me to his and Louis’ apartment so Louis would finally meet me, because he wanted to make me a vampire. And they kissed each other, and then later put their arms around me and Lestat said I would be living WITH them. THEN we stumbled over some very young vampire who – apparantly – wanted to do something to me, but Lestat said: “She belongs to us” and “Only I make her a vampire”.
Sounds like a lovely dream!
Lestat would like to point out that:
- He does not actually give the Dark Gift out to EVERYONE
- He does admit that it’s hella fun to do when he does it
- He does admit that he would prefer to do it himself than let Louis do it bc Louis is less experienced and other reasons
- Lestat likes the part in your dream where he got to kiss Louis w/out any arguments
- Lestat said that the “very young vampire” in your dream was not his fault, definitely not a failed daughter-figure.
@nixiey sent: Are you familiar with Kim Harrison’s books and Vampires? (She focuses on several species of mythological beings but has a unique twist of Vampirism)
Any way, was asking cause in later books they mention that in that universe Vampires could hear things that other species couldn’t and a lot of popular bands would add a “vampire track” into their recordings to give their music an extra dimension, and thought that’d be a concept that might be appealing to you and would be really cool AU where Lestat did the same thing.
…And I’d recommend her series highly, it only recently was wrapped up but her Vampires are pretty interesting if you have time to read it.
Hey Nixiey, thanks for this! I am not familiar w/ KH and I think that’s pretty brilliant in a very subtle and preternatural way. It is in VC canon somewhat, with messages directed to vampires (and not audible to mortals) over the radio in PL, but I don’t think AR specifically addressed it in QOTD, when Lestat’s rock music was being played on the radio.

I think it would be fun to consider what messages he might have embedded into the tracks, what would Lestat want to tell the other vampires out there? What would be his message to the ones he knew? Remember that he hadn’t reunited with any of them until the night before his concert…
