There are some mortals I look at who will never meet their full potential because they are either too afraid or too lazy. There is a deep unrest in these people- they hate themselves. I see them everywhere: walking past my house, in the streets, in libraries, in malls, on trains. Their self-loathing, perhaps it is even subconscious-  permeates the space they take up and keeps them stagnate like an old rank pond.

I want to shake them, to scream at them,  “Stop wasting your life before a fiend like me comes along and snatches it away! There is so much passion bottled inside you, must I tap into it,  pour myself a glass of your very life  and hold it in front of  your eyes before I swallow it down? Will you get how important you are then?” And perhaps they would, but by that time it would be too late.

“TL;DR” shut up it’s only 2 paras, ^READTHIS thankyoubye.

In Blackwood Farm, Lestat says his name is “compounded of the first letter of each of my six older brothers’ names.” Is that true? Whose brilliant idea was that? Were you that disinterested in choosing an actual name for him?

viaticumforthemarquise:

-sighs-

This is a falsehood. 

When he was very young, his brothers (not known for their kindness), told him this story. They made it quite clear to him that his parents, having no love left for him after six children, took the laziest route possible in naming him. 

This is, of course, an utter lie. I’ve already told the story here of Lestat’s naming—and I’ve also explained this to him many times (he tends to accept this story as a part of his own mythology, unfortunately). 

He does, from time to time, need reminding that his name, just like my love for him, was not accidental in nature. He is, and ever will be, my Lestat. Thus I named him, and thus I keep him. 

And his brothers are dead. So there’s that. 

(he tends to accept this story as a part of his own mythology, unfortunately).He picks and chooses his own mythology, for SURE.

ooc; Also Bad Dream because again, I love the pain of Louis/Lestat angst

  • Bad Dream:I’ll write my character having a nightmare about yours, or vice versa.

For the past several nights I have been having the most vivid  nightmares. In the dreams  I am mortal again in David’s body- or Raglan’s body, I suppose- and I am running down a great corridor. At the very end there is a  grand oak door which I cannot open because my mortal limbs are too weak, but after several moments of shoving the door finally gives way! Louis is on the other side- it’s he who has opened it. He is dressed in the finest formal attire-  fitted blazer, fine silk tie, and shiny gold cufflinks pinning his shirtsleeves. His hair is gathered back the way I like it at the base of his neck. Beyond him there is a  luminous ballroom filled with our immortal friends and acquaintances: Armand, Gabrielle, Marius, Pandora, Maharet, even Santino and Eric are there. Every single one of them and they halt in their dancing and there is a deafening silence as they stare at me for a short eternity. And then they  laugh uncontrollably, pointing fingers at me, at my predicament. I have  been kicked out of their exclusive club.   

It’s by this time I search wildly for Louis again- you know how dreams are, easy to lose track of people. I find him on Armand’s arm  guffawing  pitilessly,  and  the wickedest, most self-satisfied glint in the little imp’s eyes. I am outraged and embarrassed. I  storm up to Louis and I grab hold of his well-pressed lapels and shake him. I order him to put a stop to this nonsense, to turn me back already. Let me back in your club.

Then something sharp in my lower back. I twist and see a second Louis,  a crueler  Louis, has driven a knife straight into me.  With his mean lips he kisses  me coldly before pulling the blade out. I fall,  bleed out, and die  right there on the ball room floor with peels of laughter echoing around me.

My dream life has never been very subtle.

I’ve not actually hit a milestone or anything (although I have gained a couple hundred followers in just a few months and idk why tbh).  Just felt like making another follow forever.  I’ll inevitably do another one when I hit 1k followers.

I made this account a little over two years ago.  Compared to a lot of people, I’m relatively new to RP, having only started doing it in 2011, and Louis is now the character I’ve roleplayed longest.  It’s been A+ much fun gr9.  Thank you all for being cool.

Some of my good friends go follow.

► archangeloftheunderground
I keep saying I’m going to read Kuroshit and then I never do because I’m lame, but despite not knowing the canon well, I adore her Ciel.  Louis likes to unnerve him sometimes.  Also I’m going to drag the mun to an insane water slide someday.

► deadlyxdelights
I legit want to pinch Sven’s cheeks 99.9999% of the time.  He’s a bae and Louis likes to invite him over to his place for private poetry readings and kisses.  Bri is an awesome RPer and an even greater person that I am very appreciative to have as a friend.  I always look forward to talking and RPing with her.

► devilsviolinist
A+ Nicki and a great roleplayer.  Her writing blows me away.  We’ve had some kind of spiritual connection idk.

firebrandxozera
I know literally nothing about every single character she RPs true story.  I thought Gerard Way was a fictional character from a fictional band called My Chemical Romance, so I feel like I’ve learned many things from Ali.

► gorgeous-fiend
One of the very first Lestats I RPed with on here.  She disappeared for a while and it made me super sad.  Her Lestat is really the whole deal?  Like, she captures his general ridiculousness along with how complex of a character he actually is.  Her Lestat has made me laugh and cry deep inside.  Also another wonderful person and idk I’m not letting her go ever ok.

► interviewed-the-vampire
Louis wants to hit this Daniel over the head and it’s perfect.  Cera’s also hilarious and has said some of the most memorable things in Skype calls for the entirety of 2014, imo.  But do the vampires still have their butt hairs??

► i-want-my-iwtv
Not even an RPer but idgaf.  She makes some of the most hilarious posts.  Definitely a blog that all VC fans should be following.  And she’s seriously one of the nicest people.  Like, legit, she’s so kind to me I can’t even.

► redthelittlesprite
My Red baby.  The character is adorable and the mun is a badass bitch who I love to death.  She’s someone I consider very dear.

rufescentreaper
Literally one of the funniest people I know.  We’ve actually not roleplayed a whole lot on any of her accounts, but she gets a shout out for being a pal.

telepathic-labrat
One of my main RP partners from a previous fandom and in-general one of my bros.  We’ve been friends for several years, so it’d be blasphemous not to list her here.

► vampiresantiago
A wonderful Santiago.  Lots of depth given to a minor character here.  The roleplayer is also someone I consider one of my greatest friends.

► viaticumforthemarquise
DUDE SO I STALKED HER FANFICS AND STALKED HER ON DREAMWIDTH FOR AGES BEFORE WE STARTED TALKING TRUE STORY.  She’s actually my senpai.  But yeah, Gabrielle’s a really intense character and I absolutely adore how she portrays her.  It please me immensely that she started RPing on Tumblr. ouo

8. First Kiss

They were set to leave from Paris any moment now and the last orders of business were the  obligatory good-byes and final words. Nicolas  would not speak to him, but Armand stood before him as cool and indifferent as a marble statue. There was no expectation in those blameless liquid brown eyes as Lestat handed over the keys of the theater to him. At the last moment, as an after thought, Lestat placed a chaste kiss on his lips as an act of contrition for all he had put this one though, and hoped it might set the foundation for future solidarity should they ever meet again.

“Take care of him. I know you know how.” he whispered in his ear.

“So, Lestat left the theatre and asked me if I could have an eye on Nicolas until his return. Out of the pure kindness of my heart I kept him calm like the generous person I am. *sigh*
Alas- I am not so sure anymore if Lestat intended this when he said I should try to “take care of him”…”

How would you have felt if you had a child with akasha?

eternalpharaoh:

Proud. I would have been proud, and I would have seen to it that there were more to follow. As desperately as she tried for an heir in our living years, as much as it wounded her heart and my pride to have nothing come of our efforts, I would have been relieved and overjoyed. Even if that child lived a mortal’s years and knew Anubis…were they alive and against me, I would still be proud.

Envy

viaticumforthemarquise:

//(again, I was going to write drabble responses to these but muse = deadsville for now)

Secretly, there will always be a part of Gabrielle that wishes she was not a mother. That, in gaining immortality, she could have lost that title and all of the responsibilities (even if they need only be attended to every few years) that drag behind it. She would prefer to walk the earth never needed, never desired out of need or love, and with no allegiance to anyone beyond herself. 

She hates herself as much as Lestat for that need, as she cannot stop herself from loving him, from coming (eventually) when he calls, and from rushing to his side when he is in danger or wounded. 

But nothing would make her happier than for that need to be severed, on both their ends. 

And nothing would break her heart more. 

#Right in the Feels

Marius, you turned your back on me. that came as no surprise, really. You were always the teacher, the parent, the high priest. I don’t despise you for it. But Louis! My Louis, I could never deny you anything, and you turned me away!

The Judgment of Solomon a la V.C.

devilsviolinist:

There are so many subtle religious references with Nicolas. I’ll give you an example, in the bible, we have the story entitled “The Judgement of Solomon”. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the story, it goes a little something like this (copy pasted from wikipedia bc I’m lazy. Sue me.):

Two young women who lived in the same house and who both had an infant son came to Solomon for a judgment. One of the women claimed that the other, after accidentally smothering her own son while sleeping, had exchanged the two children to make it appear that the living child was hers. The other woman denied this and so both women claimed to be the mother of the living son and said that the dead boy belonged to the other.

After some deliberation, King Solomon called for a sword to be brought before him. He declared that there was only one fair solution: the live son must be split in two, each woman receiving half of the child. Upon hearing this terrible verdict, the boy’s true mother cried out, “Oh Lord, give the baby to her, just don’t kill him!” The liar, in her bitter jealousy, exclaimed, “It shall be neither mine nor yours—divide it!”

The king declared the first mother as the true mother, as a true, loving mother would rather surrender her baby to another than hurt him, and gave her the baby. King Solomon’s judgment became known throughout all of Israel and was considered an example of profound wisdom.

And so, I’ve been thinking a lot lately how in the books Nicolas is constantly telling Lestat he has a light inside of him. This is true, and Nicolas has one inside of him as well, though he is blind to it. In fact, Lestat and Nicolas are almost the same person, near reflections of one another. And I can’t help but feel that the conflict between them is the light and who has it. Nicolas, the cynic of the two ultimately forfeits his life. And I truly believe in my heart of hearts that this was an act of love. Now, I’m not saying Lestat was in any way comparable to the bitter jealous woman in the story, I’m just saying the story is of love and sacrifice. And Nicolas, loving Lestat so much — even through his madness and cynicism — gave his own life so that Lestat could grow and flourish as a vampire; the same way the true mother forfeited her rights to her child to prevent it from facing death.

Then again, I could just be stretching it a bit, but idk. I just feel like the stories are in the same vein. And, I apologise because Nicolas is not dead. The ‘forfeiting of life’ is simply a metaphor and cannot hurt him. He merely claimed to be dead, okay?
