I don’t know. These fuckers have always been in my life I don’t even remember, it’s like that stray cats you find in your trash bin and they decide they’re going to live with you now?
//One of my favorite things is idea of these vampires being on reality shows. Like just in general. But especially like ridiculous ones made up for them specifically. Like:
The Fledgling – 20 gorgeous young people compete to be Lestat de Lioncourt’s next fledgling by trying to win him over with one-on-one dates and their own charming personalities. Including a very special episode where Louis de Pointe du Lac gets to pick the people who get a date with Lestat. Hosted by Daniel Molloy. (Armand bribes the producers to let him into the editing bay and make an entire episode where Lestat rolls around on a bed complaining about the size of his feet and his other inadequacies.)
The Talamasca Files – Follow awkward, can’t-say-no-to-vampires Talamasca Agent Stirling Oliver, as he flagrantly breaks his organization’s #1 Rule (”Do not engage with Lestat!”) and investigates supernatural happenings in New Orleans. Special guest appearances by the Mayfairs.
The Real Vampires of Night Island – Immortality! Eternal youth! Constant drama! Watch vampires lead glamorous, picturesque lives as they navigate their way through a mortal world that hates them for their beauty and riches. Highest rated episode to date: “The Suit.” A red velvet riding jacket disappears from Lestat’s closet and he sets out to find the culprit. (Spoiler alert: it’s Marius. Spoiler alert: That’s all he’s wearing.)
I mean, you know, for example. It’s not like I’ve thought about this a lot…
Armand bribes the producers to let him into the editing bay and make an entire episode where Lestat rolls around on a bed complaining about the size of his feet:
“Seldom did I see my feet in black socks. I knew almost nothing personally about my feet. They looked rather small for the twenty-first century. Bad luck. But six feet was still a good height.”
Don’t tell me you weren’t asking for this, ‘nonny, bc YOU TOTALLY WERE. I read between the lines.
Did u want this answered seriously? I spent an enormous amount of effort to answer it whimsically ^_____^
Lestat is an advanced level dancer and still learns new moves; he gets a thrill out of dancing solo or with others especially Louis when Lestat can grovel well enough for it. Lestat can breakdance like nobody else.
Armand danced as part of coven rituals, so his style was probably very animalistic, or religious, maybe “tribal” would be the best description. Later on, Daniel probably taught Armand how to dance at the clubs and bars they went to during their courtship, and that might have even bonded them more. Armand probably still incorporated the spirit of his coven-era dancing
As far as a DANCE-OFF, I doubt Armand would enter into such a battle, he would probably consider it juvenile. Armand doesn’t really feel the need to prove his standing in the current coven.
HOWEVER – if he DID decide to throw down, they would probably need an audience to decide the winner, bc their styles are so different that it would come down to crowd-pleasing rather than skill.
(How are your fandoms killing you?? How did they steal your soul?? Did you not offer it up willingly?!)
TBH, idk how to really transfer fandom love, it’s an intangible thing, its more of an internal feel you feel, when u participate in meta discussions, and squee, and compliment fanartists and fanfic authors, so to generate it, simply do those things! Sending a message to me certainly counts *u*
“And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.“
OMG you like it that much??!! It took a week whut i need to get some more content on here STAT. Thank u, much flattered *u* This collection I’ve accumulated is addictive, isn’t it?
crap u probably noticed how poor my tagging was wayyyy back in the wayback OH WELL
My (bio) cousin makes video games for a living, plays and makes guitars, and is a massive video game and roleplaying nerd. So little me went all spiral-eyed whenever he did anything for me.
He bought me two very important books for my 12th birthday. The Vampire: the Requiem rulebook (the red book), and IWTV. Naturally, I devoured both.
I read IWTV and everything was wonderful pretty much instantly. There wasn’t a single part of that book I didn’t adore. It was through my rapid and all-consuming obsession with vampirism that I actually started to bloom; creatively, socially, mentally, everything just started to resolve and I started to become a person I like. Yes, I read Twilight during this initial discovery stage. Yes, I was in the fandom briefly. But it was so hollow compared to what I had already read that I was perplexed that others seemed to not want to branch out into real, monstrous vampirism.
Essentially IWTV is what sparked me going from awkward pubescent to actually pretty great 20-something. I now LARP with the MES (VtR, of course) and write urban fantasy and am generally completely in love with vampires.
But now a confession: I’ve only ever read IWTV. I haven’t read all of the VC, despite owning literally all of it (sometimes multiple covers per book!) So which should I finally read next?!
#I love stories like these, how we got into this mess series.
It’s heartwarming to see how the Ricean vampires have had such a positive effect on ppl in their formative years. They are dysfunctional hipster vampires, all kinds of flaws and existential crises, they try to resolve them, they try to find the answers to questions big and small, and in general promote a trust in one’s self, an inner confidence and an ability to draw pleasure from even simple things. These are good things for anyone, of any age, to absorb.
YOU SHOULD READ THE VAMPIRE LESTAT NEXT you’re going to love it!
