Well, know that I’d been following your VC blog before I decided to return to tumblr this year. And apart from all these wonderful things you do for this Fandom (Us, People off the Page), what I so much love about this blog is your absolutely fantastic sense of humour with which you approach the VC!!! Happy Birthday, You Creature of Wonder!

!ohmahfrickittyfrackettyharpsichords, I’m so touched, you hit me Right in the Feels in such a very good way! *attack hugs* 

It continues to be mutually beneficial, as I have had to learn how to do new things in order to do them for THIS BLOG, like making gifs, and it’s also made me question my own ideas about the characters, and get to know all these people I never would have interacted with if not for our fandom, and so much more <3<3<3 Dare I say that it’s a huge part of my life? That’s probably obvious ^_______^

WAYYYYY back when I started this thing, I was afraid that I was offending our fandom with my sense of humor, as can be seen in one of my early memeythings:

Yeah, it is applicable to her situation gdi Claudia stop eating all your handlers or so help me but it was also my concern whether anyone thought I was being just offensive and not funny at all… clearly the People Off the Page (I love that you used my word for us, too, btw) convinced me that they really enjoy my brand of silly and now I go alot farther, still with the intention of keeping it tasteful (PUN INTENDED):

(Sometimes when I get an idea for one of these things I actually make myself laugh just thinking about it until I can get home to make it)

Do you think that if Claudia was turned at an older age like 18 or something that Louis would of slept with her?

BRACE YOURSELF FOR A WALL OF TEXT©®

(I assume you mean more than just unconscious sleep, which yes, he did sleep with her, that’s canon)

 Y’know that’s smtg I’ve thought about, too. Was it only her body/age that was the obstacle there? She seemed to think so… or so it seems from what Louis shares with us re: just a few times when she even opened the subject with him.

[VC Louis mon Amour by Segomichoco, via talamascaaa]

Particularly that time in Europe when they had just killed the Icky Gross Mindless Vampire, and they’re totally exhausted and hungry, and she offers him her wrist:

“ `Drink,’ she whispered, drawing nearer. `Drink.’ And she held the
soft, tender flesh of the wrist towards me. ‘No, I know what to do;
haven’t I done it in the past?’ I said to her.”
<—- REJECTED. I don’t think Claudia shared blood w/ either Lestat or Louis, at least not in any intimate way, ever, which had to have been part of her not-growing-up frustration. 

SO BACK TO THE QUESTION AT HAND: 

No, I don’t think Louis would have slept with Claudia if she had been turned at 18+ bc there were more obstacles than just her physical form. 

  • For one thing, Louis was in a relationship already with Lestat, even though it was a problematic one. 
  • The chemistry between people (even IRL) has to work in that way for there to be any sexual attraction.
  • He always cared for her like a daughter. She was very much his own security blanket, a buffer and a glue between him and Lestat. 
  • She was less human than either of them, which did not seem to be something that made her more attractive, but less comprehensible to him: ” `I love you now with my human nature, if ever had it,’ I said to her.
    “ `Ah yes …’ she answered, still musing. `Yes, and that’s your flaw,
    and why your face was miserable when I said as humans say, ” I hate
    you, “ and why you look at me as you do now. Human nature. I have
    no human nature.’ ”
  • Also, in terms of canon vampire physiology, the Ricean vampires seem to be asexual, blood gives them all the satisfaction they need/want in that regard. It’s in fanon and RP that they’re sexual.

As a side note, claudiaindarkness might have some good opinions on this, bc she often RPs Claudia aged up. thevampire-claudia also had a thread in which Claudia was aged up and *ahem* had some private time with a Louis (merciful-death) if u need some tasteful au smut ;]

I’m late for the birthday wishes, I hate myself D: Anyway, happy birthday!!! Hope you had a great one, blood cake and all. P.S.: If you drank that mysterious bottle of red wine that suddenly appeared in your doorstep, be assured that was NOT wine.

*attack hugs* Thank you bb, nonono, no self-hate over late bday wishes! Thank u kindly, I did have a great one this year… blood cake, um, well, I love red velvet cake! Never tried blood pudding… I actually had chocolate zucchini birthday cake, highly recommend it.

Oh I was not supposed to drink the mysterious bottle of red wine? Lestat said I could pretend it was wine tho??! It seemed safe?? I think it was more blood than wine, I think he added alot of sugar or smtg, little bastard.

OH and thank u for that very informative info re: Lestat’s Sebastian Melmoth alias. I HAVE THE VAMPIRE COMPANION and have not actually read it cover-to-cover! *slaps self*

The happiest of birthday wishes to (who I consider to be) one of the brightest pillars in the VC fandom!

Let me love u ♥u♥

So very kind of you, this is a huge addiction passion for me, being called one of the brightest pillars of our beloved fandom hits me Right in the Feels in a very best way *hugs tightly*  

I heard it was your birthday! Happy birthday lovely and thank you for your amazing blog. You really do bring the fandom together. I hope you were spoilt with all kinds of presents.

Thank u so very much!

I’ve gotten a number of perfect gifts, no Dark Gifts as of yet, but still holding out for that one… lol.

I do try to be a fandom cheerleader and bringer-togetherer, so it means especially alot when I hear that I’m doing it well enough for praise ♥u♥.

I feel like Only Lovers Left Alive is how Lestat and his coven like to think of themselves but in reality they’re What We Do in the Shadows.
