What are the vampires favorite holidays?šŸ˜€šŸŽƒšŸŽ„šŸŽšŸŽ‰šŸŽˆšŸŽ‚šŸ’˜šŸŽ†

Sorry, I’ve had this for 2 months, but it’s too broad a question, too many characters to think about!Ā I think it varies for different vampires at different times in their lives and unlives.Ā 

Louis didn’t get very excited about Christmas until Claudia. She had been with them for only a few months, and then Christmas was upon them. Lestat transformed the parlor and courtyard into a little winter wonderland, Claudia was excited about that (and she put up a fight in March when he said they should really take it down), and she had a stack of presents under the tree on Christmas night.Ā 

Her first priority was giving Louis his gift, which was a pack of drawings bound in a soft leather portfolio Lestat had picked out with her. Drawings she had done of him, Lestat, their little family, their house. He was deeply touched, and few Christmas gifts ever topped it. It was at that moment that he finally understood the point of that holiday and his anticipation for that kind of moment does build, he gets into the spirit of it with everyone else *u*

Armand after his little tussle with Lestat in TVL. I thought it was just the most wonderfully written violence, I loved the idea of Armand’s beautiful face broken in two because of Lestat’s beating. So wonderful.

On the same vein as the question of sense of humor. What is your favorite? Does it slip out at the wrong times? Which of the VC characters are easily amused? Oh look a Wraith, gonna go back to SGA now.

ā™›Some might describe my default disposition as ā€œimmature,ā€ when it’s really more that I’m just easily amused. ā€œImmature.ā€ What a little word. So limiting. Considering the avalanche of shit I’ve hacked my way through, I hardly thinkĀ ā€œimmatureā€ describes me.

[X] My sense of humor? It’s detailed in my first book. Anything can set me off. All still true. Something I didn’t have then: short internet videos, Vines, these things are amazing and the coven all send me links to the best.

Who’s easily amused? Daniel, David, Marius, Jesse. In that order. Jesse and I have inside jokes that are facial expressions only.Ā 

I put the ā€œfunā€ in ā€œfuneral,ā€ and the ā€œlaughterā€ in ā€œslaughter,ā€ but I make every attempt to stifle it when it’s truly inappropriate. It can sometimes improve a situation. Intimate moments where I’m trying my best to be sensual and attentive, something about the language of seduction, verbal or physical, might strike me as overly serious and I can’t help but giggle at the pretentiousness of it all. I’ll get playful criticism from the object of my affection, and then we may give up on the seriousness of it all, opting instead to come up with taunting terms of endearment for each other, and having less control entirely.

My favorite of all types of humor? Nobody makes me laugh like I do. My own sense of humor is my favorite. What’s my sense of humor? Something pointed and sharp at times, soft and generous at other times. Everything in between. Children’s jokes can slay me.Ā 

Armand makes me laugh harder than anyone else. Even when he’s being cruel to me. Probably the same principle as mentioned already, that in his seriousness, he almost seems to be playing a role, and I can’t help but see it as a caricature. If it were real emotion, real care, it could fracture something inside me, something buried deep.

You know what would be funny to see? Lestat and Louis doing the 24 hour handcuff challenge. If you have never heard of that then just look it up on Youtube, it’s by Buzzfeed. Really funny!

#Fanart request. So many of our characters taking on the 24-hr handcuff challenge could be hilarious. They would need to use enchanted chains like the ones in MtD or else it would be too easy to break out ;]

(One of my fics has a similar concept, L/L ā€œtied togetherā€ for a night:Ā A Precious Material.)

Are you ticklish? If you are I’m totally going to tickle you. If Louis is ticklish that I might just tickle him instead. After all he is my favorite vampire out of all the vampires in the VC.

ā™›I’ll confess that I am very ticklish, when I’m in the mood for it. More so when I was a child. My nurse, who you’d call a ā€œbabysitterā€ now, or a ā€œminder,ā€ I suppose… an older villager with limited energy, she would shuffle after me down the halls of the castle, I’d let her catch me up and reduce me to a painful amount of giggling on the floor. She wasn’t satisfied until we were both hoarse from laughter!Ā

Anon, let me be very clear: my defensive reflexes are too fast for a mortal to get to those sensitive areas, unless I’m already compromised… with sufficientlyĀ adulterated beverage. You’ll have to find me somewhere in that state if you hope to accomplish this little mission of yours *winks* and then there’s the added mystery of where those areas are since I’m not telling you *smirks*

Louis is your favorite? I’d be offended but that we have that in common, he’s my favorite, too. Getting Louis into full-blown laughter is a real challenge. More of a mental game than a physical one, but I’ll use anything at my disposal to make it happen when the moment is ripe. Protip: he is not physically ticklish unless he is warm and well-fed, and already in a pleasant mood. The difficulty is that much of his pleasure is experienced inwardly.

One of the best and cheapest tactics to get Louis to laugh audibly is the simplicity of a staring contest. He can’t help it. No need to announce when the contest begins, just set yourself up comfortably before him and begin staring. He can’t resist the challenge. Even from mortals.Ā
