IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT???
(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*
Mojo is unfortunately dead. I don’t remember it said explicitly in canon, but he was already an adult dog in ToBT (published in 1992, story taking place in 1986?), and here we are, 23 yrs later, so… one can assume he’s passed on.
“Humans live as long as they do to learn to love with all their heart. Dogs are born with this ability, and that’s why they don’t live as long.” [X]
There was a beautiful little chapter in a long!fic in which Lestat puts him down humanely ;A;
They’ve since gotten a new dog (in fanon). His name is Murphy, I believe. He will never replace Mojo, and he isn’t meant to. As any dog owner might agree, every dog has its own life and relationship with its family.

“Can you list a few modern professions you feel Lestat would have, if…”
It’s funny that you said illustrator bc my headcanon is that Lestat can’t draw to save his life (that’s why claudia liked drawing so much), vampire or not
Also: Lestat the young theatre actor. Louis the bookshop owner. Armand the eternal intern lol
Hmmmm, well, yeah, I used to headcanon that Lestat can’t draw, but then there are these quotes about his handwriting, so I feel like he does have some skill, but maybe just hasn’t really tried to Art specifically:
Lestat the young theatre actor WELL OBVIOUSLY! *facepalm for missing that on my list*
Louis would definitely be a bookshop owner, he would handwrite all those little Staff Rec tabs, too. And he wouldn’t sell special editions to anyone he felt wouldn’t take care of them.

YES. YES. That’s got to be one of the best lines in the movie, I laugh every time I watch it. And now I will be using that tag.
“Canon” refers to what is explicitly stated in the books.
Such as: the fact that Lestat killed 8 wolves (”And the pack was eight wolves, not five as the villagers had told me.” (TVL)) on that fateful day, earning the “Wolfkiller” nickname.
“Headcanon” is what books/information you personally believe in, that in your mind have occurred in the series. For more on that, hit the jump.
This is partly bc some people most of us think that the VC went off the rails at a certain point, and they didn’t read, or they read and disagreed with, the events that occurred in some of the later books.
So, for example, someone who stops at Memnoch the Devil (#5) will not accept certain events or ships that occur after that book in the series.
This is where we employ #Your headcanon may vary, and #Ship and let ship.
If A and B want to RP as the same canon character X, that character will be different based on what X has experienced in canon. Person A’s portrayal may include information and characterization that Person B’s will not, and vice-versa.
That’s partly why people ask about your “headcanon,” to find out whether your muse would be compatible with theirs. After all, if they are RPing as character Y, who first appears in a book you do not accept as canon, then you might have to agree to compromise with them, and find a way to make it work, or you might not be able to RP your muses at all.
We also have a situation here where there are discrepancies between books, we have unreliable narrators who can’t be 100% trusted… such as the scene near the end of IWTV when Louis follows a young vampire to Lestat’s run-down house in NOLA, in which Lestat is crying like a little old lady:
“I could see the tears welling in his eyes; and only when his mouth was stretched in a strange smile of desperate happiness that was near to pain did I see the faint traces of the old scars. How baffling and awful it was, this smoothfaced, shimmering immortal man bent and rattled and whining like a crone.” – Louis, IWTV
Lestat calls bullshit on that moment:
“ ‘Ah, that makes you out to be a perfect liar,’ I said furiously. ‘You described my weeping in your miserable memoir in a scene which we both know did not take place!’ “ – Lestat, TOBT.
Daniel stared hard at the creature before him, this thing that looked human and sounded human but was not. There was a horrid shift in his consciousness; he saw this being like a great insect, a monstrous evil predator who had devoured a million human lives. And yet he loved this thing. He loved its smooth white skin, its great dark brown eyes. He loved it not because it looked like a gentle, thoughtful young man, but because it was ghastly and awful and loathsome, and beautiful all at the same time. He loved it the way people love evil, because it thrills them to the core of their souls.
Daniel about Armand. The Queen of the Damned, Anne Rice (via perladivenezia)
//I love this paragraph so much because it shows how Daniel is a weird, morbid, twisted guy and he loves Armand for exactly the monster he is, rather than being blinded to his nature by his beauty or something. Which is why I think Armand and Daniel, for all of their problems, have something real: Daniel has always seen through his masks and his appearance and still been fascinated by the creature beneath the shiny veneer.

We will be monsters, alone in the world, but we will have each other.

“Go ahead, throw this book away. Spit on me. Revile me. I dare you. Cast me out of your intellectual orbit. Throw me out of your backpack. Pitch me in the airport trash bin. Leave me on a bench in Central Park!
What do I care?
No. I don’t want you to do all that. Don’t do that.”
