Hello, I wonder if vampire can be taken a picture? Can their image show up in photos?
//ooc; idk about other vampires, it varies. The What We Do in the Shadows vampires could have photos taken of them, but couldnāt see their own reflection in mirrors *shrugs*.
Ricean vampires can see their own reflections in mirrors.Ā
Omg, I totally forgot about this, but apparently Khayman has mental photoshop powers?? From QOTD:
[Khayman] liked the libraries where he could find photographs of ancient monuments in big smooth good-smelling
books. He took his own photographs of the new cities around him and sometimes he could put images onthese pictures which came from his thoughts. For example, in his photograph of Rome there were Roman
people in tunics and sandals superimposed upon the modern versions in their thick ungraceful clothes.
I headcanon that Ricean vampires can be photographed, and they take selfiesā¦

Jesse also sees photos of Armand in QOTD:
David had put something in her hand. Reluctantly she took her eyes off the painting. She found herself
staring at a tintype, a late-nineteenth-century photograph. After a moment, she whispered: āThis is the same
boy!āĀāYes. And something of an experiment,ā David said. āIt I was most likely taken just after sunset in impossible
lighting conditions which might not have worked with another subject. Notice not much is really visible but
his face.ā True, yet she could see the style of the hair was of the period. I āYou might look at this as well,ā
David said. And this time he gave her an old magazine, a nineteenth-century journal, the I kind with narrow
columns of tiny print and ink illustrations. There was the same boy again alighting from a barouche-a I hasty
sketch, though the boy was smiling.
Armand put the Macarena on Lestatās chillax playlist. Again.
When was the first time you saw Interview with the Vampire? For me I watched it at age 10 or 11 I think, I do remember I was very young. I remember my older sister watching it and I guess I decided to watch it along with her. I remember watching it with her when we visited our dad and he wasn’t home. We weren’t allowed to watch such movies like that but we didn’t care. My dad’s from Liberia and they’re very superstitious (well at least my dad is) and movies like IWTV frighten them.
Well first of all, #I love these kind of stories, where ppl talk about how they got sucked into this fandom, whether itās when they first saw movie!IWTV (or movie!QOTD) or starting reading one of the booksā¦
Movie!IWTV is frightening, there are brutally scary parts. It touches on a lot of taboo subjects. The kind of violence it has is scary partly because thereās the element of betrayal in many instances, definitely when Claudia knifes Lestat, and then when Louis sets him on fire ;A; We laugh about it now bc if we didnāt have a sense of humor about it, it would just be too cruel. But that is really cute that you watched it with your older sister, hopefully she explained things that were confusing or at least provided some support during the scary parts ;]
I was given book!IWTV when I was 11 and saw the movie soon after, sneaking over to my best friendās house bc it was rated R and I wasnāt allowed to watch it. It was dark comedy to us, and we ended up watching it repeatedly, trying to memorize the lines so we could say them along with the movie. Our favorite line had to be:Ā
āJust remember: Life – without me – would be even more unbearable.ā And I canāt really gif that out, the shot is pretty dark, but you remember, it was here:
That line was a declaration between us, too. Weāre still best friends to this day, 20+ years after bonding over this series!
VC had a huge enough influence on us. For better or worse *shrugs*
I was an ambivert. I was completely obsessed with antagonists, too. The VC encouraged me to develop all those extroverted traits I loved in Lestat, which other characters didnāt always approve of, but he dgaf! He marched to his own drum. He craves the spotlight for validation but his own love for himself outweighs these external rewards. The VC has been a huge source of strength. So much great advice. Hereās an example, that suffering can be embraced as being a valuable part of our experience, too:
āItās an awful truth that suffering can deepen us, give a greater luster to our colors, a richer resonance to our words. That is, if it doesnāt destroy us, if it doesnāt burn away the optimism and the spirit, the capacity for visions, and the respect for simple yet indispensable things.ā – Lestat, Queen of the Damned Ā
But really, the quote that bound me and my best friend together, thatās what I hope for fandom to accomplish. We do come and go, but Iāve been in this for 20+ years, and it seems to me that VC fandom as a whole will always be here for those who want it.
āJust remember: Life – without me – would be even more unbearable.ā
^What I think is also worth mentioning here is that Lestat could have killed Louis or just left Louis in NOLA at any time (before Claudia). But he didnāt. Even at his worst, Lestat was still fascinated with Louis, and life – without him – would have been even more unbearable ā¤

Iāve been reading Anne Riceās Vampire Chronicles lately, and I had to draw this one out.
Storyception! Being told a story of that one time Lestat was told a story by Marius of that one time Marius was told a story by that crispy elder guy about Queen Akasha.
This deep red velvet human heart cake is a perfect treat to make for Halloween. Hereās instructions on how you can make it.
It literally looks so fucking good omfg
We need this for when a VC cosplayer is willing to re-enact the whole QOTD scene involving eating a heart…
