Handsome Prince, How do you really feel about Sybelle, is she really as eccentric as described in the books? I feel she is a shy, misunderstood young woman.

♛My first impression of Sybelle was her waking me from my slumber with her passionate renditions of the Appassionata. I might have awoken then without it, but I can’t help but feel that her music was necessary; it pulled me, those fierce notes the only thing that penetrated the thick darkness where I was. I still ask her to play it now and then, and it reminds me of that rescue, whether intentional or not on her part.

I have not had the pleasure to get to know Sybelle as much as I’d like to. She is not much for conversation. She’ll converse with music, and I have played duets with her, on guitar along with her. 

Eccentric… Who’s not eccentric in our coven? *laughs* Who’s not misunderstood? I will say that she’s not as concerned by her surroundings as you might think she would be, she likes it when Armand or Benji tie her hair back for her, even though she is capable of doing so herself. She seems to carry an old soul and a child’s enthusiasm at the same time; she can be thrilled by little things like playing Tetris on an old Gameboy, and yet, she asks for very little outside of her piano, and her privacy. She has few possessions… keeps her jewelry in plastic bags in a shoe box! Benji’s idea, as the necklaces would tangle otherwise.

I am learning more about Sybelle with every interaction. One thing is for sure, she makes a fine addition to our coven, and I am glad to have her with us.

[^//ooc: Just try and tell me that Valentina Lisitsa isn’t basically Sybelle, just look at her! She’s just older.]

//ooc: So, Sybelle! A rare one for ppl to ask about and rarely chosen for RP. I remember there was @sybelle-the-appassionata, but it looks like they’re pword protected and/or on hiatus. There was also @play-the-appassionata, looks inactive now, but their archive might have smtg for you! Antoine RPer @antoineandthepiano may have thoughts re: Sybelle for you.

For more on Sybelle, try my #sybelle and #the vampire sybelle tags. There’s a little fanart, cosplay, some meta by other ppl, some mentions of Benji (since he’s kind of part of her package deal!) and spoilers.

Hey, did you see The Tenors’ cover of ‘Who Want to Live Forever’ music video? It’s very IWTV like (I love it).

Wow, good rec, anon! Got the aesthetic down, the right amount of candles, locket w/ a girl’s face in it, torches! Angsting, damp, long-haired brunet men in period costume! And a violin too! Nice.

Dumped in a swamp, and you’re to blame, darling you give love a bad name. You slit my throat, set the house aflame! You give looove a BAD NAME!

♛He did do those things to me or watched as they were done and he does give love a bad name. 

He’s lucky that despite all that, I have a forgiving nature. 

Still… good to sing that at him now and then.

Out of all the vampires in the Vampire Chronicles which one do you think has the most daddy issues? Random question I know but the thought just popped into my head. Maybe it’s the combination of loving your blog and loving that song called Daddy Issues by The Neighbourhood.

Thanks for the compliment on the blog, much appreciated ❤

I like the song, I’d never heard it before.

Who has the most “daddy issues,” that’s up for debate, and how you define daddy issues, and bc someone with daddy issues can show it in different ways.

VC has a ton of terrible parents, either they’re neglectful, or abusive, or manipulative, etc. A lot of bad fathers, and that’s not even counting bad makers. A bad or absent father can affect someone’s future relationships with their significant others.

Daddy issues implies that a person had a father who: 

  • doted on them too much, maybe they’re spoiled and have an enormous ego now; or
  • ignored them or just wasn’t there at all, so the person cries out for attention too much, 
  • and everything in between and so much more.

So I’ll open this up, anyone can reblog/comment about the daddy issues! Or maker issues.

To Louis and/or Lestat: what lullabies would you sing to Claudia?

♛We did sing to her, lullabies of our own childhood that we could remember. These were obscure songs known only to our caregivers, we both had nurses in childhood – neither of our mothers sang to us, although Louis recalls now that his sister sometimes sang to his brother when he was very young.

But if we really wanted her to fall asleep, a better solution was for me to play her a piece on harpsichord or piano while Louis held her, bundled up in her favorite blanket, and brushed her hair. She’d be out cold in minutes. 

Or even something more lively like this piece:


//ooc; IDK what song the 2nd video’s song is. 

We’re not too sure of what lullabies exist now that they might have sung to Claudia… but @takemetocoffin-or-losemeforever shared this piece, apparently from Louisiana:

Good evening, darling. May I ask you a music advice? A song you recommend to listen to in the dark of my room? Right now When Love and Death Embrace by HIM is playing through my headphones. Thank you, Prince ♡

Digging your smile apart
With my spade tongue.
The hole is where the heart is.
We built this tomb together,
And I won’t fill it alone…
