One Song: Just ONE? Johnny Cash’s cover of Hurt is sometimes too much for me, but it remains an absolute favorite. ‘What have I become, my sweetest friend?/Everyone I know goes away in the end…’

Two Movies: (I’ll skip the easy answer here, you know which movie I mean, and choose instead) American Beauty, and American Psycho. An appropriate pairing. 

Three TV shows: SO many to choose from, I’ll go with the timeless classics: The Munsters, the Addams Family, Get Smart. These are classics, and I only regret I missed the era that they were made. Those first two have better family dynamics than many of the more recent TV series. Get Smart had enough technology (a shoe-phone before cellphones!), charm, and fashion to keep me riveted. 

Four People: I am a people-person so this is intensely difficult. I’ll choose one rockstar: David Bowie, one lover: Louis (mon coeur), the intrepid journalist who helped reunite me w/ mon coeur, Daniel Molloy, and I should pick a chick, shouldn’t I? So… my Mommie Dearest, Gabrielle.  

Five foods: Well. I am a picky eater but I guess: Drug dealers, pedophiles, serial killers, human traffickers, and jaywalkers (ok, not really that last one *smirks*)

Six people to tag: antoineandthepiano, devilsfool, nodominion, iam-yourqueen, redhairedtwindamnitarmand, and anyone else who wants to share, mes amis.

i-want-my-iwtv is a fantastic blog. The blog runner is a passionate fan whose loves for the series shines through in all of their memes, humor posts, and discussion posts, and they do an awesome Lestat RP to boot!”

that’s because shade requires some degree of subtlety.

♛ Ooooh I am so burned, almost as badly as when Louis does it literally! *fans self* 

I throw glitter for fun. It’s unnecessary to “throw shade” at anyone when I am already centerstage, spotlighted brighter than the daylight. Overkill to push those in the shadows further into the dark, n’est-ce pas? 

Is it possible to be turned by two vampires? if so would both of the vampires be that persons maker/ sire?

marius-de-romanus:

Why, that is an interesting question. 

I cannot say it is impossible as for I have never tried to do such a thing – and I find it hard to believe one would as I cannot see a purpose on doing so. However, I personally find highly unlikely for such an attempt to be successful.

♛ Hope you don’t mind my adding to this, Marius. Our physiology has always intrigued me, too much to be tactful and pass up a chance to discuss it *winks* 

Technically Louis and I both made our daughter together. In that sense, one can be made by more than one sire. It just usually happens that it’s a single one of us claiming a single mortal to bring over for love, or on orders of a higher ranking member, or as an heir (in my case)…

It’s not an exact science, it can go horridly wrong even if performed correctly. My darling Nicolas seemed, at first, to have been committed to a fate worse than death. I would not recommend the further complication of two (or more) makers.

However… in my latest novel…

ooc; So I finally finished Prince Lestat!!! Took me awhile. ANYWAY.

I won’t spoil anything here, but let’s just say that the idea of 2 makers at the same time is addressed. Sort of. It’s not directly answered but it’s addressed. 

I think it could be done. Why not? Lestat has admitted that Marius’ multiple transfer procedure is a better one than Lestat’s usual method of blood taken from the mortal and transferred back only once. The fledgling is a vessel for blood that must be emptied and replenished a few times.

Oh My Self, there are SO MANY things that make me happy, and there are so many different kinds of “happy”. I’ll keep these to the more easily attainable joys, in no particular order:

1) Pushing people’s buttons (literally and figuratively, I do have a thing for buttons).

2) S H O P P I N G (Dolce & Gabbana, NOT Brooks Bros, ffs)

3) Piggyback rides (hard to believe? I love both giving and receiving these).

4) Comics. Vintage. Although I do enjoy the illustration of modern “graphic novels” like the Sandman series.

5) Ridiculing inferior vampire “literature” (aggressive quotations marks there, mes petits).

6) The smell of fresh bedsheets.

7) The smell of bloody bedsheets.

8) Bruce Springsteen (the musician himself and his works)(That reminds me, I may have to add him to our coven… he is a treasure).

9) Shiny things

10) That feeling after feeding from someone and letting them live.

11) That feeling after feeding from someone and dispatching them to the next plane of existence.

12) Talking/writing/singing about myself.

13) When anyone else is talking/writing/singing about myself.

14) Cultural entertainment (watching or performing).

15) Sexytimes with MY and noone else’s gdi! beloved Louis, who belongs entirely to me *smooches*

This makes me happy as well. I am in love with this post.

Oh get the kids, didn’t you hear ? It’s Bon Jovi’s birthday today! 53! He’s getting over turning age too :(

♛*chews at knuckles dramatically* Are you TRYING to torment me??! Plucking
at my very heartstrings! So inconsiderate. You
KNOW how much I adore that man. That creature of magnificent beauty and talent.
He might be my very spirit animal. He’s also a darling in person. *sighs* You
don’t want to see my LENGTHY wishlist of musicians, actors, writers, composers,
etc. that I would scoop into my arms and protect from Death. Unfortunately, one
can’t “people the world with vampires,” rockstars or no.

Besides, claiming anyone in
this manner does not guarantee that they will be happy about it afterwards. The
procedure is still not an exact science, it can lead to a fate worse than death.

This reminds me of an opera
singer… it might have been La Divina (Maria Callas) who, I believe, retired
from professional performance at the height of her career for a number of
reasons, among which: that her audiences might remember her at her best. That
is something of a beautiful thing to have the courage to do.

Lestat, sorry to burst your bubble, but Bruce Springsteen is now 65. Might be past turning age.

♛ Well time is running out, then! Each day that ticks by is one too many *begins searching for an agent contact for Springsteen for a private performance*

The Dark Gift does work wonders on people of a certain age, ma petite fleur. Mother Gabrielle was quite physically improved in at least one area that I devoted no small amount of description to… in color and shape and size, her “girls” improved! I could go on, of course, but you’ve seen her, you know her beauty is second to none. (ooc; paging viaticumforthemarquise <3)

I also find that older gentlemen bring something to the table that the bright-eyed and taut-fleshed of youth lack; these others have a sensual comfort in their own skin, a deeper rumbling in their voices, and more, earned through a lifetime of experience. 

I won’t go into the further romantic advantages in detail, but suffice it to say, David missed out on a grand-little-adventure-within-our-adventure. His loss, entirely, to deny sharing himself with me in that way. Fortunately, he has made it up to me, (and continues to do so) over time >;} (ooc; paging the-gentleman-chronicler <3)
