growing up in maine us writers were of course always comparing ourselves to stephen king. Ā TURNS OUT HEāS FUCKING WRITER GEORG
āaverage writer writes 3 books a year" factoid actualy just statistical error. average person writes 1 book per year. Steven King, who lives in cave & writes over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted
Stephen King is the challenge I set for myself daily.
FOR REAL?? My gut reaction is NO. Also Anne can you please spell it Nicolas w/o the H? Plz? *cries*
^This person makes a good point butā¦ idk, Louis and Nicki are not the same. I feel like it would seem too much like āLouisā is trying to trick Lestat, a weird consideration Iād rather not have introduced.
*Although I may have acted somewhat excited about it a few months ago (and I donāt want to edit the post bc thatās a time capsule as to how I felt then), currently I donāt want a Leto!Lestat bc of the accusations against Leto, which you can google yourself bc Iām NOT going there. True or false, we donāt need that kind of baggage in our fandom, and there are PILES of younger actors out there who can play Lestat bc Boone wants this to be a trilogy w/ TV spinoffs and we need someone who can play 20 or 21 yrs old for a long time, and Leto altho he does not look like it is 44 yrs old.
I actually donāt know! Purposely. Ignorance is bliss. Iām just grateful we havenāt suffered a crossover of BV/VC.
Iām gonna redirect you to hyperbeeb, who is taking one for the team and reading the first one in the-Ā hasĀ read the first one and is now reading the whole series?! Her tag for this journey into madness is #Mary reads the blood vivicantiĀ
The blood Vivicanti is the name given to the vampires that arenāt vampires in the series. The blood Vivicanti are humans who have been infused with the blood of an alien. They possess superhuman senses and speed. A secondary good source for them is human blood which they consume via a proboscis protruding from their tongue which has a stinger at the end. The sting creates an orgasmic effect in its victims. For the blood Vivicanti, drinking of the blood allows them access to the memories and skills of their victims but only for a limited time (except of course in the case of our special snowflake protagonist whose photographic memory lets her retain skills forever).
The word Vivicanti itself was carefully chosen and created by Anne rice. It is a combination of two Latin words to make a new word. From my best guess, itās a mixture of the word vivi, meaning living or alive and canti which means a song so the literal translation of Vivicanti is living song. So the blood living song. God, itās blood canticle all over again.
