While I was hunting for tacky stock photos to use as bad VC aesthetics, I found some interesting results for “same sex parents”.
This is sincerely amazing.

you know, I’ve always wondered about this… Ricean vampires ONLY drink blood, right? But, why just blood? Because “normal” food doesn’t taste good for them anymore? What it would happen if they try it?? Maybe they’d get sick?? I don’t know, but I would love to find out :p (Btw, LOVE your blog)
Thanks for the blog luerve! <333 I really appreciate it.
Yep, Ricean vampires can only drink blood 😛 In some fanfic, they can take little sips of other liquid, but IIRC, they can only consume blood in canon.
^This is from What We Do in the Shadows. I don’t think it would be exactly like this for Ricean vampires, but it’s hilarious (but GROSS) so WATCH IT (if you can handle the gross). For these and the Ricean vampires, eating people food is bad, but not lethal.
Ricean vampires lose a lot of digestive anatomy when they’re turned. So their bodies just can’t metabolize it. So, cooking smells become repulsive to them, as Louis describes it in IWTV:
“The slightly nauseating smell of cooking meat… I caught the sweet smell of the spices and the fresh green of marjoram and bay; and then in a wave came the horrid smell of the cooking meat, the blood and flesh decaying in the boiling fluids.“
If they were to try a bite of a plate of food, it might be like trying to force yourself to eat something inedible, like an old soapy sponge, maybe? Our body’s way of defending itself from inedible things is to make them taste bad (but then there are people with Pica, who eat inedible things and then there’s the fact that some edible things that are good for you might not be very tasty unless prepared somehow so… idk).
I would guess that eating a whole plateful of food would just make Ricean vampires throw it back up, no enjoyment in or out 😛
@roselioncourt RPs as Rose de Lioncourt, and that muse has experimented with food made from blood. You could ask her about that.
BONUS: Louis Xavier Lewis-Smith, who played Denis in movie!IWTV, teaches us how to make a British Mojito:
What is that liquid Louis uses to burn the theater down? Wine?
That’s kerosene. Used in lighting oil lamps at that time, too.
(^From a draft of the script.)
Apparently, “kerosene in its natural state is a clear, colorless liquid. To comply with U.S. federal tax law, kerosene is dyed red.” [X] Idk what colors it came in Paris in 1860-5ish, when Louis burned down the TdV… 😛
The fact that it came in a keg like that, and that alcohol is flammable, one could easily mistake it in the movie for wine. So many victims bled to death on that stage, and then considering that Lestat had told Louis to pretend blood was wine, I think it makes sense that this kerosene is amber/red in the movie, figuratively, it seems to be blood or wine, even if that color might be wrong historically.
awww ok :( thanks for answering anyway. and there’s no ebay for my country and international country’s ebays have shipping that can be up to $100, even if a friend shipped they would pay similar costs because my country does not like things going in and out. New Zealand and England? haha I wish i lived somewhere as nice and safe lol
I’m sorry that it’s hard for you to get the VC books 😦
But again, and I don’t know about your internet connection, but here in the US it’s pretty easy to find VC online by googling for the pdfs.
What about libraries in your country? Sometimes you can ask your library to bring in books.
I get that shipping is expensive. I actually did a giveaway post where I offered to ship a few VC out as prizes, which I bought at a library book sale for like $1-$2 each, and I still intend to ship them out. Message me off-anon and let’s see if we can work something out.
BTW, if anyone is interested in shipping their unwanted VC book(s) out to someone in a foreign country who really wants to read them, as a show of VC fandom solidarity, message me!
I’m re-watching Interview With The Vampire and as much as I love Lestat, I feel so bad for Louis. Like, I really can’t blame him. I really can’t. He’s stuck with this loud, blonde, glittery murder machine and all he wants to do is crawl into a pillow fort and cry for 700 years. Can you blame him? Can you?
I can ^o^ Lestat is the right punishment for someone with a deathwish who chooses immortality. Louis really didn’t think this through, imho.
Totally agree with this, too.
Think before you drink, kids.

Did I underscore the puppydog “jammies” ? No? Here it is again.
