sorry dude i totally forgot to reply to this because I’ve been on mobile for the last several days. The creatures in Blood Vivicanti take inspiration from vampires but basically because Anne Rice got weirdly territorial and said Becket couldn’t use classic vampire mythology because that was her thing or whatever, they have more science fiction origins. The not-vampires in The Blood Vivicanti are made by getting a blood transfusion from a comatose red alien upon which they receive a stinger on the tip of their tongue that allows them to see and retain memories by drinking blood with it and has the side effect of creating a venom which makes people orgasm.
// that scene where Lestat lunges at Louie from off screen and starts to drink from him cracks me up because it reminds me so much of the R.O.U.S.’s scene from the Princess Bride hahaha

*tips hat* you are most welcome, lady! Couldn’t resist that challenge. I expect crackier things to be inspired as I continue through the heartbreaking work of staggering genius that is PRINCE LESTAT.
I kinda disagree with this but I’m compelled to put it out there for your consideration.
Lestat has a huge issue with controlling his laughter but I don’t think he’s depressed or emotionally drained. I think he loves himself too much for that.
I think sometimes it’s more of a nervous tic, a sort of backup reaction to quell confusion, and maybe also as a means of diffusing his own anger. How many lives have been saved by him laughing at them instead of using the Explodey-Heart Gift?
“And my worst problem was laughter. I would go into fits of laughter and I couldn’t stop. Anything could set me off. The sheer madness of my own position might set me off. This can still happen to me fairly easily. … I begin to laugh and I can’t stop…It makes other vampires furious, by the way.” – The Vampire Lestat
