So ever since I’ve seen Interview with the Vampire I’ve always wondered about a certain scene in the movie. How does Louis drink blood from that women and kiss her at the same time? Did he just bite her lip or something?

Y’know I don’t know exactly what was going on but she was in some kind of fabulous ecstasy to not try to stop him notice him basically biting her tongue and sucking on it… Supposedly Louis can Spellbind ppl w/o consciously trying, this is one of his Gifts.

…but also Lestat is doing most of the “work” for him in this scene, she’s probably reacting to that more. 

I don’t think there are any major arteries in the mouth that he could have hit, so it’s just, IDK, tongue blood. And he is spilling some. Seems like alot of effort and not much dinner for him. When we see her mouth again, her lips look a little bloody but not damaged, so he was either biting her tongue or the inside of her mouth somewheres. #kinda ew

Probably a stupid question that I missed the answer to somewhere, but what exactly would happen if one of the vampires ate a whole plate of actual food? Is it just nasty or actually bad?srry for dumb Qs

^So it’s not exactly like this for Ricean vampires, but it’s hilarious (but GROSS) so WATCH IT (if you can handle the gross). For these and the

Ricean vampires, eating people food is bad, but not lethal. 


Ricean vampires lose alot of digestive anatomy when they’re turned. So their bodies just can’t metabolize it. Cooking smells are repulsive to them, as Louis describes it in IWTV:

“The slightly nauseating smell of cooking meat… I caught the sweet smell of the spices and the fresh green of marjoram and bay; and then in a wave came the horrid smell of the cooking meat, the blood and flesh decaying in the boiling fluids.“

So if they were to try a bite of a plate of food, it might be like trying to force yourself to eat something inedible, like an old soapy sponge.

I would guess that eating a whole plateful would just make them throw it back up, no enjoyment in or out 😛


Not sure about other vampires, like The Vampire Diaries, Tru Blood, 30 Days of Night, Daybreakers, etc.

I seem to recall the Lost Boys eating Chinese food? I don’t remember. Try askavampirologist for non-Ricean vampires!

ooc; I don’t believe she’s ever stated they watched HoW. She did mention True Blood though.

One of my fav things as a fan of both VC and Hell on Wheels is that Anson Mount (actor behind Cullen Bohannon) is also a fan of VC. Which, btw, everyone should watch Hell on Wheels because it’s such a great series.

Okay so I did a little digging and I found that merciful-death was right, AR mentioned that they all watched Tru Blood in this post here:

“You would not believe the laughter in this house when vampires come to watch True Blood on HBO. They think it’s hilarious.” 

I feel like I’ve seen fanart of them all squished onto a couch together for tv/movie night, but I can’t find it ;A; If anyone has this fanart – or wants to draw it – please gimme. 

UPDATE: FOUND IT.

based on the assumption that human blood can survive in a vampire for about the same amount of time it can in a human body, vampires would only need to feed three or four times a year (red blood cells live about 110 days on average). this would be if they completely drained all their victims.

humans can survive losing up to about 40% of their blood, which means that a vampire pushing their limits with each victim would probably need to feed 12 times a year minimum

so like once a month

Hey guess what else happens once a month involving blood

omg no

Now that’s recycling

“Actually, period blood would be really good for a vampire; it’s incredibly nutritious, because it’s supposed to feed a foetus! And it’s probably the cleanest blood in the human body. It’s sterile.” My wife contributed.

This is an actual scene in Memnoch the Devil by Anne Rice. Lestat earns his red wings; everybody comes away happy.

LESTAT’S NEVER BEEN LOVED BACK
ARE YOU KIDDING ME
Just take my heart and destroy it.
I am ruined.

;A; IKR?? 

Well, that quote refers to movie!IWTV. If you’ve read TVL, you know Lestat’s been loved before in his life ;]

And, technically, it happens in an about 10 min in the movie, but Lestat, Louis, and Claudia happily together for some 60+ years, so there was love then 😉

sometimes i think that what lestat needs is some molly weasley in his life, like, a mum who will BEAT SOME SENSE IN THAT EMPTY BLONDE HEAD, KICK HIS ASS IN FRONT OF HIS FRIENDS and then drag him home and give him warm blood soup and kiss him in his coffin, bye love sleep well beware of the sun mummy AGGRESSIVELY LOVES YOU 

maybe he wouldn’t have so many issues then, but also maybe not 

#It got better #Agrees Aggressively

Well Gabrielle does slap him when it’s called for, but yeah, she could be doing so much more!

That’s sort of what Claudia did to him, but in a much meaner way, when she made her point. On his face.

^See, this is a Lestat who’s giving you his full attention and ready to learn a thing 😉
