“A love so strong he couldn’t allow me to grow old and die. A love that waited patiently until I was strong enough to be born to darkness.” – Armand, IwtV.
♥u♥ ONE OF US ONE OF US (Apparently we’re calling ourselves Children of Darkness now, btw)
(BTW our mutual facepalming over Lestat was probably about this post)
Yes yes, memeything/fanart/fanfic/fanwork inspiration is, in actuality, the highest compliment to this blog, bc that’s REALLY what I do it for. When I started this thing there was fanwork but it was (and still is) all over the interwebs, and in my opinion there is not enough of it there is NEVER enough of it, so I wanted to have a collection of it for everyone’s enjoyment/inspiration, and a good resource for the fresh stuff, too 😀
Wow, your journey to VC is so touching, that our precious Sheeps shepherded you to us, was it this fanart of
Tonio Treschi?
You read Cry to Heaven –> saw sheepskeleton‘s fanart of it > sheepskeleton‘s fanart lead you here > now you’re one of us!!
#I love these kind of stories, and we (I’m sure I speak for others, too) enjoy your presence here. Great url, btw! He is Emperor of the Undead, lol.
I enjoyed Cry to Heaven, I don’t remember it very well, should reread it. I seem to recall that the main character reminded me of Armand.
Does anyone has thoughts on vampires and polar night? do they need to go to sleep if there is no daylight?
I think if there’s answers anywhere, they’ll be in Blood and Gold, but I’m not sure if she spelled it out re: Thorne… I’m curious about whether staying awake indefinitely would produce the same effects in vampires as in humans. Lestat’s state in QotD suggests that it might – it seems like Akasha flies him around the world keeping pace with the night, and this is part of why he’s so discombobulated. She apparently controls him by – amongst other things – not letting him experience anything but ‘mortal sleep’ for a long time.
