Hey! You seem like the right person to ask about this; How do we know Louis’ younger brother’s name? I remembered that it was Paul, and a google search tells me I’m right, but I can’t find it mentioned anywhere in ‘Interview’. What’s up with that?

Hello to you! Here’s one of my fave portrait-claims yes I invented that word just now of Paul:

[by Philip Alexius de Laszlo, Portrait of Raymond P. Johnson-Ferguson, 1923]

Paul is in fact mentioned by name in IWTV, but it’s only 3 times, and the first time is on page 26 (US Ballantine edition):

“I could almost make out the images of the saints on the walls. `Paul,’ I said softly, addressing my brother, `for the first time in my life I feel nothing for you,…” – Louis de Pointe du Lac, IWTV

…so if you were skimming a physical copy, it would in fact be hard to find the mentions at all! I have digital copies of all the books, makes for easier searching ;]

The first time Paul is mentioned, it isn’t by name at all, on the 2nd page. Paul was a big deal for Louis and he has to bring it up immediately.

“There was a tragedy … “ the vampire started. “It was my younger brother … He died.” – Louis de Pointe du Lac, IWTV

Would Louis have been in such a crappy state and basically trying to drink himself to death, shouting “COME FIGHT ME BRO” at everyone in the shittiest taverns of NOLA if not for his guilt over Paul? Would he still have met Lestat at some fancy ball? WHO KNOWS. 

The shirtless pic of Cruise you just put up made my day better!!!!!!! THX <3 He looks so good there.

YOU’RE SO WELCOME ;D

Yes that one is very day-bettering, but also consider, for the nighttime-bettering:

and #mortal brunette tattooed Lestat AU

Dear godmother of VC fandom, me and my other half love to read your blog together, we adore it so much. I gotta say it even gives us some kinky ideas. Please keep giving us some more awesome stuff, specially with Louis and Lestat. ;3

Awwww that is totes adorable I am so honored! You’re not the first couple I’ve heard a similar thing from, and it warms my heart immensely

♥u♥ i kinda hope i will meet my other half thru fandom, it has happened for ppl before…

Kinky ideas, hmmmm? Wellll… I will have to start a new tag for that then! #Kinky Ideas. Starting with this post. If you can manage it, reenact the ^gif above or this fanart by DrKav, (it is one of my all-time faves) and send me a pic! Neither are significantly kinky so you don’t need to be in cosplay ;]

This fanart by anaryawe is more kinky, but you’d have to own a corset to reenact it… It’s Lestat and a lady, but Louis might be happy to substitute.

“and the 15 yr old inside me still gets excited when she posts something about “Where are they now?” like Lestat doodling on a napkin, or the whole coven all flopped together on a couch watching Hell on Wheels, that’s good stuff *u*” … eh? did she actually post something like this? [i have been missing from the fandom for a good portion of time and i pop in every now and again; apologies for a silly question!]

THERE ARE NO SILLY QUESTIONS ONLY SILLY WAYS OF ANSWERING THEM. j/k. Lemme catch u up a teeeensy bit.

So yes, AR does post fanfic of her own like this from time to time, and I only have a few reblogged, created a new tag for it tonight: #Current vampire happenings. If anyone has more of these, please send them my way!

I dug around in my archives and found the napkin part of what I wrote above:

“…We’re sitting in a cafe together right now, him and me,… And he’s doodling on a paper napkin with a fine black pen as we talk. His gorgeous yellow hair is loose and long over his shoulders. His skin’s burned because he does that often now, let the sun burn it because it’s easier than covering up the preternatural whiteness, the inevitable gleam. He’s pondering. I’m pondering. As if we had a choice.”

The watching-Hell-on-Wheels-together part, well, I can’t find it. She has mentioned how much she loves Anson Mount as a frontier!Lestat, tho:

duendology:

i-want-my-iwtv replied to your post:VC vampires and technology

I can’t remember when, but Lestat specifically mentioned that vampires are adept at figuring tech out, it’s one of their gifts (synapses firing on more cylinders than mere mortals?) + their advantage being students of mankind and tech evolution.

So, on what substantially literary grounds have I been so affectionately snarky about Lestat’s difficult relationship with technology all this time? Oh the harm I caused!

Ahh Blood Canticle and Blackwood Farm, probably.  Heh

Those, probably, yes. Snark is always welcome, tho, Lestat would probably agree that #Any attention, even bad, is better than no attention #Lestat de LimelightHog.

I think there is some iPhone-related adoration & frustration mentioned (which I headcanon away as being Lestat frustrated at other things and merely scapegoating onto his phone), and also Lestat’s seeming insistence on using WordStar to write each of his memoirs long after it was outdated? I think?

AR Concerning Blood Paradise – Louis and Lestat. 

OOC; So I found this on Anne’s Facebook page. It was so amusing, but I have to agree. I love the wedding description she wrote for her fans [wedding des.]. It was fun and adorable, and keeping within context with the historical ruling in the US. I agree with her on this one and just her general positive attitude towards Lestat. It’s so easy to criticize him. Lestat he doesn’t make it easy. I get that.

AR: “Please, let’s be optimistic. Allow my Brat Prince some hope!” – I have a sneaking suspicion that it was just Lestat posing as AR.

The last comment gets me whiningforcenturies this was us yesterday….WAS IT NOT? WHERE IS THE LIE THO? Post from last night.

“Anne, please, A girl can only cry so many happy tears in one night.”

^I’m pissing myself laughing because the comment about how you can only cry so many happy tears in one night was me.
