First of all I wanted to say your blog is my favourite blog on tumblr, and I find your posts to be hilarious. But let’s get to the question. What book do you think is the best VC book and what book do you think is the worst/most disappointing VC book? I want to read all the VC books. I’m currently reading MTD (which I don’t really like) and I wondered what your favourite book in the series is and which you liked the least. As for myself, I can’t choose between IWTV or TVL being my favourite.

omg mine is your favorite? *flails* Thank u! If u love this blog, u love the VC fandom by default.

My fave VC changes over time. When I first started, I was definitely more IWTV, I identified with Claudia, and then Louis. It wasn’t until later that I switched over to Team Lestat. Claudia is very nearly the biological daughter he probably would have had deserved, in a mortal Lestat AU!

When I reread the books now, I see different things than before, now that I’m older. I can see the parenting perspective better now, for example. 

I feel like someone just asked me my fave recently and I think I said TVL, bc it’s the one that’s stood the test of time the most for me, probably.

Least favorite also changes over time. I’m a very generous person tho, I can find beauty and salvage elements/quotes/scenes from books, movies, etc, that I otherwise don’t like as a whole. Same is true for VC. Lots of gems tossed in amongst the later canon that you’ll only really appreciate if you excavate them yourself ;]

I wouldn’t call it disappointing per se, but I admit that I didn’t really enjoy Blackwood Farm, I’d say that was my least favorite, consistently. It’s almost a stand-alone novel. Probably the reason I don’t like it as much is bc it’s almost a stand-alone novel.

“The rest of the comic is an interesting look at the French Quarter of New Orleans, but mostly it is a chance for Ennis to parody the Anne Rice style of vampires by contrasting them with his vampire, Cassidy…

The result is some strong parody work (although I thought that the Neil Gaiman jabs were a bit much – I’ll feature them as a Meta-Message very soon) and really, a compelling story about what happens when you, for lack of a better phrase, “buy into your own hype,” as the other vampire gets into the idea of being a vampire far more than he should.

LESTAT’S NEVER BEEN LOVED BACK
ARE YOU KIDDING ME
Just take my heart and destroy it.
I am ruined.

;A; IKR?? 

Well, that quote refers to movie!IWTV. If you’ve read TVL, you know Lestat’s been loved before in his life ;]

And, technically, it happens in an about 10 min in the movie, but Lestat, Louis, and Claudia happily together for some 60+ years, so there was love then 😉

sometimes i think that what lestat needs is some molly weasley in his life, like, a mum who will BEAT SOME SENSE IN THAT EMPTY BLONDE HEAD, KICK HIS ASS IN FRONT OF HIS FRIENDS and then drag him home and give him warm blood soup and kiss him in his coffin, bye love sleep well beware of the sun mummy AGGRESSIVELY LOVES YOU 

maybe he wouldn’t have so many issues then, but also maybe not 

#It got better #Agrees Aggressively

Well Gabrielle does slap him when it’s called for, but yeah, she could be doing so much more!

That’s sort of what Claudia did to him, but in a much meaner way, when she made her point. On his face.

^See, this is a Lestat who’s giving you his full attention and ready to learn a thing 😉

Out of all the vampires in the Vampire Chronicles which one has the most money? And how did they vampires become so rich? I imagine Marius got it through his art/paintings and Lestat though being a rock star but what about the others like Louis?

That’s tough. I would think that it fluctuates. THEY ARE ALL GROSSLY FILTHY RICH. 

The most rich? Probably Marius, or Armand. But this is the gif I have that’s on topic so this is what you get.

Marius has been around for a LONG time, whatever money he got in the beginning of his vampiring has accrued to an enormous amount over all this time. I don’t think it’s just based on selling paintings, which I would think he does more for fun than financial gain, but could be both.

(I like to think Marius also givens painting lessons as a hobby bc he does love to teach!)

In no particular order:

Lestat’s money was there before he was a rockstar, he had to have alot of startup money. He talks about hiring the best people and buying the best equipment for all aspects of getting the band updated and concert ready. He talks about hiring security and lawyers. He had that money already, it was waiting in bank accounts he had set up in the 18th century. Remember, he started off vampiring with a big treasure chest of stolen money and jewelry from Magnus’ victims, which he invested.

Louis is rich bc he was a plantation owner and owned property in NOLA. He was careful with banking and originally thought Lestat chose him for his money. AS IF! Louis is also a great gambler, he has a knack for cards, and can win huge sums to invest. Louis also loves books, and probably is in the vintage book business. Louis also probably gets money from Lestat, if he needs it. 

Armand initially arranged for dives for treasure from sunken ships, an archaeological find, “a cheap piece of South American property yielded a long forgotten emerald mine.” And that money was invested. He owns and runs the Night Island, and other businesses, which are a constant source of incoming profit.

Daniel had money from the publishing of IWTV, and later other books, but his money really comes from Armand.

Louis doesn’t have scruff! he had time to shave beforehand! Lestat does though, he shaves every morning even if his is barely visible. Here’s a question though, what about the women? cus shaving body hair is a relatively new thing, do the women bother at all with it? (I mean, Gabrielle doesn’t, obviously, but what about the others?)

I wonder whether Lestat has scruff

“I could hear Lestat in his room, the sound of water splashing from his pitcher. The faint smell of his cologne came and went like the sound of music from the cafe two doors down from us.” – IWTV

Is he shaving? Is he brushing his fangs? Maybe he does have some scruff. He didn’t mention being freshly shaven before Magnus turns him.

ANYWAY….

The women… I dunno! It’s never mentioned! I’ll open it up to everyone. What do y’all think?

I assume lestat was all “make yourself look the way you’d want to for eternity!” Like he crouched everything in this over dramatic language and hoped louis would “read between the lines”

Unlike some other male vampires who didn’t have a choice or otherwise weren’t manscaped pre-Dark Gift, I think Lestat did convey to Louis to get himself all cleaned up, bc he planned to be smooching on that face for eternity ❤
