About your tags on that mark hamill gifset “wish one of the iwtv actors would say this”, Anne Rice has said it already.

Yep, as far as I know, AR is fine with ppl headcanoning them as gay, or other sexual orientation. IIRC, this was her response re: Daniel and Marius:

Look at all my tags on that post, tho: #fandom    #mark hamill    #wish we had one of the IWTV actors saying this    #but I think theyd all agree w/ it    #your headcanon may vary    #ship and let ship    #gif    #quote    #headcanon    #lestat likes this    #you dont need the authors permission to think whatever u want about canon    #YOU DONT NEED AUTHORS PERMISSION FOR YOUR HEADCANON    #just be respectful    #of others’ headcanons too    #reyton    #roselioncourt    #pointed this out to me    #thank u  

I don’t really need the IWTV actors to say it, either. Just would have fit on my blog better 😉

For example, some ppl headcanon Gabrielle as transgender. I don’t, personally, but I’m respectful of their opinion. I don’t know what AR would think about that opinion, and I don’t reeeeeally care, bc you don’t need the author’s permission to think whatever you want about canon. Just be respectful of others’ headcanons, too *u*

Ricean vampire asexuality

inesbc2001 asked: 

Hi, so I’m dying to know what the VC Tumblr fandom thinks about vampire sexuality.

IMO the fact that vampires don’t have sex doesn’t necessarily make them asexual.

I’m thinking about Marius with Amadeo in Blood and Gold, and Louis with the mortal boy in Paris.

There is a passage in IWTV that goes roughly like this: “He pressed his whole body against my legs and I felt the firm strength of his sex under his clothes. A moan escaped from my lips…”

– I translated this myself from the Spanish version, but you get the idea 😉

I’d be thrilled to further discuss vampire sexuality.

That’s all, keep up the good work! 🙂

#Your headcanon may vary.

So I’ve discussed this topic at length in my tags for it: #asexuality, #asexual, #sex, #sexuality, #lets talk about sex.

It all depends on your idea of what sex is, but Anne Rice has been definitive about it:


The scene that you mention between Louis and the mortal boy: Louis is still capable of finding that boy’s hard on to be arousing, but he’s getting alot of sensory input in that moment, and Armand is probably manipulating him psychologically, too.

Marius/Amadeo: Amadeo is mortal and experiencing things differently than Marius is.

I’ll open this to discussion, what are your opinions/headcanon on Ricean vampire sexuality?
