Hello! Do you recall if there is ever any reason given on why Mael didn’t survive the sun stunt although Armand, who is much much younger did? If Anne ever explained it I didn’t catch it. I love your blog by the way and you seem to be a lovely person <3

Y’know, I don’t think it was ever explained in canon! We’ve had a few Mael RPers over the years who might have have a good answer for you… @thevampiremael, @maelgallia come to mind. Other RPers, or anyone else, are welcome to comment/reblog w/ ideas on this.

[^X Brock O’Hurn bc of reasons *swoon*]

Mael had been turned (pretty soon after Marius was turned) by Avicus, another God of the Wood who had survived the Great Fire. Even if Avicus had done a bad job turning him or had recently turned other fledglings, that shouldn’t have been a factor in Mael’s vulnerability to sunlight so many years later, since Mael was old enough to have earned some durability on his own. The only answer I can think of rn is that Mael’s combusted remains were further destroyed by frightened mortals who saw it happen? Idk! It’s an answer I’d like to have. 

I love your blog by the way and you seem to be a lovely person ❤

If the VC chrachters were the greek gods ,what god do you think will fit each ?I think Gabrielle will make a PERFECT Artemis wnd Armand a good Hermes indeed

Ooooh! VC chars as Greek Gods! 

I did these based on character and not on the gods’ family tree bc that would’ve added more consideration and this is more fun so shut up.

[All descriptions from Wiki-to-the-pedia.]

Lestat = Dionysus – Let’s just get that out of the way right now bc it’s easy. And in fact I think Neil Jordan would agree; he has Lestat playing with a bunch of grapes in movie!IWTV and that could be a reference to Dionysus. God of wine, parties and festivals, madness, chaos, drunkenness, drugs, and ecstasy… He was depicted in art as either an older bearded god or a pretty effeminate, long-haired youth.

Gabrielle = Artemis – Works except for the virgin part, but I’ll let you have this one, Anon. Virgin goddess of the hunt, wilderness, animals, young girls, childbirth, plague, and the moon.

Louis = Apollo – Not that Louis is skilled at making music, but he does have a very deep appreciation for music, art and literature, poetry specifically, and also he’s drop-dead-gorgeous so y’know, there’s that. PLUS, this would make him Artemis’ twin brother and that works, too, if Gabrielle is Artemis! God of music, arts, knowledge, healing, plague, prophecy, poetry, manly beauty, archery, and the sun… In sculpture, Apollo was depicted as a very handsome, beardless young man with long hair and an ideal physique. As the embodiment of perfectionism, he could be cruel and destructive (OH LIKE BURNING DOWN BUILDINGS?), and his love affairs were rarely happy WELL THAT SOUNDS LIKE POINTE DU LAC.

Armand = Hades – Okay I love Armand, but this is more for when he was the coven master! – King of the underworld and the dead, and god of regret. 

Daniel = Hermes – I actually think Daniel fits this better by the description than Armand, since it was Daniel who started what would become the written record of the Coven of the Articulate: God of boundaries, travel, communication, trade, language, and writing… Hermes is the messenger of the gods… He was depicted either as a handsome and athletic beardless youth…

Marius = Zeus – Okay so I am running out of dudes at this point, but actually, Marius is a father figure at least through books #1-4. In a way he was the Patriarch of the vampires while taking care of TWMBK. King and father of the gods, the ruler of Mount Olympus and the god of the sky, weather, thunder, lightning, law, order, and justice. 

Pandora = Athena – I actually struggled with Pandora, probably not as self-confident as Athena, but she has the debate, wisdom, peace skills so there u go. Goddess of intelligence, skill, peace, warfare, battle strategy, handicrafts, and wisdom.

David = Poseidon – Okay so I picked this one based more on the physcial description but also bc David is strong, and David first act as new vampire was to take a swim in the ocean. God of the sea, rivers, floods, droughts, and earthquakes. In classical artwork, he was depicted as a mature man of sturdy build with an often luxuriant beard, and holding a trident. 

Maharet = Demeter – She was the Matriarch of the coven and the Mayfair family so all that motherly stuff. Goddess of grain, agriculture and the harvest, growth and nourishment. 

Jesse = Hestia – 

Works except for the virgin part, but Jesse doesn’t seem to have had notable ships in her life so this works well enough. Virgin goddess of the hearth, home and chastity… she appeared as a modestly veiled woman… In some accounts, she gave up her seat as one of the Twelve Olympians in favor of Dionysus, and she plays little role in Greek myths.

Mael = Ares – God of war, bloodshed, and violence…  Homer portrays him as moody and unreliable.

Akasha = Hera – Queen of the gods and goddess of marriage, women, childbirth, heirs, kings, and empires… Her sacred animals are the heifer, the peacock, and the cuckoo.
