(Same anon who asked about The Vampire Chronicles Because her sister loved it.) Dean Winchester and Lestat would have the same taste in music for sure.

(Anon refers to X] I bet they would! @lokitapendragon, any specific songs Lestat and Dean would rock out to in the car together?

*Cracks knuckles* OH HONEY.

“Pour Some Sugar On Me” by Def Leppard. Lestat belts it out with a heavy French accent and Dean mocks him loudly. Dean cannot sing it to save his life.

“Highway to Hell” by AC/DC. Dean tries and fails to imitate the semi-screaming. Lestat laughs, both at the lyrics and Dean’s horrible singing.

“Wanted Dead or Alive” by Bon Jovi. Lestat plays this song on repeat until Sam and Louis and literally everyone else begs him to shut it off (Lestat CANONICALLY loves Bon Jovi so there.) Dean’s emotions are horribly mixed because it still reminds him of the days before he went to Hell.

“Eye of the Tiger” by Survivor. Neither of them understand how cheesy everyone else finds this song, or why everybody starts laughing when they strut into the room in their shades with it as a soundtrack.

“Don’t Fear the Reaper” by Blue Oyster Cult. Lestat seduced and killed victims to this song when it was still new and playing on transistor radios. Dean remembers it from childhood when his dad used it to drown out the sounds of a hunt for toddler Sammy, who got left in the car.

“Heat of the Moment” by Asia. Dean plays this one around Lestat because for some reason it makes Sammy freak out. Louis thinks it’s the most ridiculous thing he’s ever heard. When Sam walks in he actually punches the cassette out of the stereo. Lestat asks Dean what set him off.

“Paradise City” by Guns ‘N’ Roses. If Dean’s hearing hadn’t been blown away by all the years of shooting guns with no ear protection or Lestat was mortal, they would both destroy their eardrums cranking this one.

“Rock You Like a Hurricane” by The Scorpions. I don’t know, I have mental images of them both walking into some skeazy bar (both hunting, just for different things?) while this is playing.

I could go on indefinitely so I’ll stop it right there.

^NICE! (Also I love all these songs, BTW)

^I think they’d both agree on this ;D

@Anon asking about starting VC: I’m an AVID Supernatural girl and grew up on Lestat, and I’d say that one of the fundamental differences between the two worlds is the attitude. VC is GOTHIC, complete with lace cuffs and candlelight. Supernatural is AMERICAN gothic. If it can’t be solved with a shotgun or a punch in the teeth, they’re gonna struggle with it. So Anon- give it a shot. I’d even say start with Vampire Lestat, ’cause he’s just that awesome. Feel free to message me about both!

Armand fans: please reblog and rant about why you love him. I remember a point where I found him intriguing but I carry Lestat’s grudges more than he does I need you guys to remind me why Armand is cool.

  • smol
  • face like an angel
  • cute grumpy bf
  • eclectic taste in music
  • canonically kinky
  • adorably curious about dumb shit
  • waaaaay the fuck smarter than he looks
  • powerful telepath
  • easily the most interesting character in VC like even on a surface level he’s always the dichotomy between how painfully physically gorgeous he is against the atrocities he’s committed and how he’s retained this almost innocent beauty and how disarming it can be when he does cruel things from behind that face but like even when he’s been cruel it’s so easy to explain his behavior by the layers and layers of trauma from his life both as a human and as a young vampire and despite all of it and despite how emotionally stunted he was for such a long time and it’s such a satisfying character arc that other vampires don’t tend to get in this series due to AR either abandoning her characters or getting sloppy with her writing but it’s so wonderful the way he opened up to Daniel and evolved so much as a person in that short time and it’s so heartbreaking that like i really think he’s such a good dude on the inside and it’s been so buried by all the terrible things that happened to him and the mechanisms he had to adopt just to survive and he can be a little bratty like face it I really think he’s the ACTUAL brat prince and he’s a complete fucking troll and sometimes I think it’s still a symptom of his centuries living underground and being emotionally repressed because it’s like he doesn’t know to express himself from not being able to for literal hundreds of years but even when he’s a salty little fucker he really cares about the people in his life like even with Lestat it’s like they’re always gonna be bros and rivals but they need each other to endure and Armand would be crushed if anything happened to Lestat and even when he acts like an asshole he’s opened up when it counts like even in the new books he opens his homes to everyone and takes in Antoine and he’s just a really fucking good dude that’s been through a lot of legit garbage and I love him

I started reading the Vampire Chronicles and I’m at The Queen of the Damned but I’m wondering if I should stop there? Or should I read on? I don’t to want get caught up with the ‘crackyness’ later on, you know?

You started with The Queen of the Damned, or with Interview with the Vampire? Definitely read the first 3 books in the series, those are are good. 

The “crackyness” that we make fun of it for sort of happens at book 4, Tale of the Body Thief, which is still a great story (especially compared to the later books)…

I think you should read it all. Especially if there are certain characters you’re beginning to feel more of an attachment to. If you love Armand, for example, you should read The Vampire Armand. If you love Marius, reading Blood & Gold would be of interest to you. 

I think any VC fan should read them all, read lots of fanfic, and decide on their own what they consider to be “the real story.” Your headcanon may vary from mine, but that doesn’t make you a lesser/greater fan. You can ignore the crackyness.

Loving the characters makes you a fan *u*
