Sorta random, but I don’t have my books with me, and I figured you could answer my question. In the vampire chronicles mythos, are there any benefits/positive reinforcements for humans that are fed on? I know the vampire itself experiences a sort of euphoria when feeding, but is this also true for the human?

This isn’t all that random, I’ve had far more random questions than this!

^So much love for Brad that as miserable as he may have been WAS, this was perfect, capturing that kind of orgasmic quality while being fed on ❤ 

In the vampire chronicles mythos, are there any benefits/positive reinforcements for humans that are fed on? 

Not sure what “benefits/positive reinforcements for humans that are fed on” means… but I do get the impression that it’s a deeply intimate act, that the vampire doing the feeding is doing their best to keep their victim calm and complacent, ecstasy is a pretty good state to shoot for and that would be beneficial? I mean, if the vampire’s intent is to finish off their victim then there’s no real benefit for the human, lol, but if not an intent to kill, ecstasy is a pretty positive reinforcement! There is some fanon that the vampire can make it a really painful and negative experience if they want to, with the speed that they draw the blood, etc. 

I know the vampire itself experiences a sort of euphoria when feeding, but is this also true for the human?

I don’t have my books w/ me either, but I distinctly remember the ecstasy they describe experiencing when they’re being fed on as mortals. Daniel goes into a state of being almost addicted to the feeling (and to the drops of blood Armand gives him in measured amounts).

This is intensified when they’re being given the Dark Gift, the part when they’re almost completely drained. It’s an immersive sensory experience for both the vampire and the mortal.

There’s fanon that a mortal does experience certain physical enhancement in their senses from drinking vampire blood, but just being fed on would probably not enhance them, as Louis dragged his sorry butt back to Pointe du Lac after Lestat fed on him the first night. He seemed pretty bent out of shape. 

Dear god, I’m so happy ! You post not long ago, a picture of a “Vampire Companion” guide remember ?! :D thanks to you, I’ve just find one and ordered it ! :3 thank you so much ! Merci beaucoup !

You’re so welcome!

It’s a handy resource. I ought to reread it. (Y’all can get it on Amazon.)

It was probably intended to be the answers to questions AR gets alot about VC, plus some behind-the-scenes info and headcanons she had at the time. I’m not sure if it lines up with canon, but a good resource to have with your other VC books anyway!

Tom Cruise as Lestat de Lioncourt | Interview with the Vampire (1994)

Okay, so let’s talk about Tom Cruise for a minute.

One of the things I love about this movie is that the scenes with Lestat make it SO different if you go into them on Lestat’s side. Tom Cruise nailed it so hard and I recall hearing that he read the books for research? So he had such a deeper grasp on Lestat’s personality than if they’d only used the Interview source material and taken Louis’s word on Lestat’s personality and temperament. There’s so much subtext to these two characters that you don’t really get from Interview alone because Louis is such an unreliable narrator*. But for example, the scene with the hookers: Louis makes Lestat out to be this horrifying monster and it’s like such a heartbreakingly different scene if you go into it on Lestat’s side and realize that he’s trying to help. PLZ CHILD PLZ EAT SOMETHING! And they drop a teeny clue earlier in the movie about how Lestat kills evildoers and it’s subtle and I’m not sure if everyone who hasn’t read the book picks it up? But knowing that going into the scene and being able to deduce that these women deserve to die makes it so different.

And there are so many little clues in their scenes about how much he truly cares for Louis, and even just his acting like YOU CAN JUST SEE IT IN HIS FACE HOW MUCH HE ADORES LOUIS and it’s just like so fucking special. Like the part where he drains the rat into the glass, he’s doing that to help, and the look he gives Louis when they have the “there’s nothing in this world now that doesn’t hold some-” “-fascination” exchange UGH. he’s basically like 😍😍😍😍😍 

* I MEAN, DEPENDING WHICH ONE OF THESE IDIOTS YOU DECIDE TO BELIEVE. The options are A) Louis is salty as fuck and Lestat is actually like a mostly-loveable happy vampire dude, or B) Lestat is bipolar as fuck and everything Louis said was true and we get to see Lestat’s bullshit behavior unfolding later in the series and we see the way he packages it as if it’s normal because he’s an egomaniac. IDK WHATEVER. Point is, even when Lestat is doing atrocious things, his sense of humor is such a strong voice in the series, and it makes you like him, so what I’m saying is that it was amazing that Tom Cruise played it the way he did, and that the crew obviously used extra source material to get that bit of his personality, and if this movie had turned into a series it would’ve been believable later on when you learn that Lestat is a silly jackass. ❤ 

It’s something that could’ve been neglected so easily and like I’m forever the happiest and luckiest losernerd that I got the rare Excellent Adaptation for a book I love to death.

Hello again Lestat and Louis, and any other vampires around. I am curious about the relationships between you all. Is your coven (don’t know if that’s the right word) polygamous, or is it a friends with benefits type deal? Also Louis, what was your reaction to Lestat’s tattoo?

♛Only Louis and I have access to this account, and he would tell me not to kiss and tell. Should I? Do either?

I would say we’re more polyamorous than polygamous. Our idea of fidelity is different than for mortals. Or my own idea of fidelity is different than others in the coven.

One could call us a coven, with smaller, fluid groupings within it. Tribe. Collective. Coven. I’ve always found the word “coven” as more applicable to those who perform rituals and religious rites together, which we do, occasionally, but not in any kind of Sunday School regularity. We don’t crawl around in filth under a cemetery and worship Satan, that’s for sure. 

More than that I leave to your imagination *winks*

Louis still hasn’t told you about the tattoo prank? I’ll remind him. I’ll leave notes all over his coffin, that always gets his attention whether or not he plans to sleep in it. 

Lestat, before you became a vampire had you ever eaten a slice of pizza?

Leave a comment

//ooc; This sat in my inbox for 3 weeks and I was stumped, but from my research, it’s unlikely that Lestat would have eaten pizza in the Auvergne, as it might have been difficult to make tomatoes grow there at that time. I don’t know when pizza first came to Paris, he might have had it there. 

@takemetocoffin-or-losemeforever​, my French resource, informs me Lestat might have had tourte aux pommes de terre, which is Auvergne potato pie. It tastes like potatoes and cream, mostly. There might be other pizza-adjacent foods he might have had. 

Is there a foodie in the house?

What foods does he miss, though? What foods would he have liked to try that didn’t exist during his time or were prohibitively expensive? Reblog/comment what you think, or message him about specifics. 

Did Victor wish you a happy father’s day ? I think you would be the best father on this world Lestat ! Bon baisers de France !

♛Merci for the love from France, I can always use a few extra kisses from that country *smiles*

Viktor sent a card. I should be grateful. But it was most likely from Rose, and he merely signed it along with her, as it had an inside joke between Rose and I. Best father in the world? I think my second – fourth fledglings would beg to differ.

//ooc; mun doesn’t entirely accept PL as canon, but was willing to accept it for this ask 😉

For headcanons and to talk to a Viktor RPer, go to @viktor-de-lioncourt​ (who uses Jordan Sörbom as a FC) or @roselioncourt​, both of whom care quite a lot more than I do about this character.
