What if Amadeo returned to Russia, when he was alive? Or maybe it was not long before the last meeting with his parents when he only became a vampire? Cold and beautiful russian winter and Botticelli angel.

“Forget me now, Father,” I said. “Forget me, as if the monks had sent me away. But remember this, on account of you, I shall never be buried in the muddy graves of the Monastery. No, other things may befall me. But that, I won’t suffer. Because of you, that you wouldn’t have it, that you came that day and demanded I ride out with you, that I be your son.”
I turned to go. He shot forward, clasping the bottle by the neck in his left hand and clamping his powerful right hand over my wrist. He pulled me down to him, as if I were a mere mortal, with his old strength and he pressed his lips against my bowed head.

Since you just wrote that you are re-reading TVA: How many times have you read the books? :o And omg how many times have you seen the first movie?
(Yep, I’m rereading TVA and at about 80 pages in, WOW, so much I had forgotten! There is a lot of action packed into this one book.)
“Might as well ask heaven what it sees, no human can know….”
How many times have I seen the movie/read the books? Y’know, I have lost count… re: the movie, definitely has to be more times than Neil Jordan has seen it. Maybe more times than it’s editor has seen it. The fact that I have a copy of it to pull gifs and screencaps from makes it so I can watch it frame-by-frame in excruciating detail and even re-edit parts of it to suit my needs…
BTW: This is a good official book I only read 1x and should reread, even if some info might conflict with canon info: The Vampire Companion: The Official Guide to Anne Rice’s “The Vampire Chronicles” This book was published in ‘93, before AR got as responsive over social media as she is now, and she is asked things to this day that she has explained in this book already, so I take this book as being more true to canon than her current answers, which may differ.
I will add that one weekend, around Halloween one year, movie!IWTV was on TV alot, and I ended up watching it 4 times in one weekend and THAT IS TOO MUCH. Even for me.
My favorite viewings are with other ppl though, where we say the lines out loud and make fun of all the stuff that can be made fun of.
As for the books, lost count on that, too 😛
Cut for length, not spoilers.
At some point I’ve gone back to all of the books to look for info, except Vittorio, which is not VC and I didn’t care much for him or his story. Some of them, I’ll admit I only read them start to finish 1x each (like BF, BC, Pandora, PL). It was never important to me to keep track of how many times I had read any of them, just that each time was a different point in my life and with that different perspective I was reading the same stories but I related to different characters and/or was focused on different things.*
I have this weird mixed feeling of being equally ashamed that I’ve read these so many times and being ashamed that I haven’t read them enough times to really qualify as An Authority. Does that make any sense? Pfffft…. I never claimed I was An Authority. I’m just doing my own thing with this addiction and trying to infect others with it and I’m happy to have you along for the ride ;]
*Just for one example, and being very simplistic about it: I related to Claudia when I was 11, and empathized with her frustrations at not being taken seriously as an adult, and later, when I had had child-care related jobs (babysitting, camp counselor, swim teacher, etc.) and was old enough to be a parent myself, I could empathize more with Lestat and Louis’s struggle to “parent” Claudia, who had a very real set of limitations and a lot of pain due largely to those limitations, and they were not at all equipped to handle any of that.
It’s summertime, I’m unemployed in-between gigs, and I want to open up commissions once more to help pay for monthly expenses in the meanwhile! Let me draw your favorite characters, your OCs, your next phone background! It’s all good~! Just send me a message and we can start today!
I ask for half the commission as a non-refundable deposit upfront, you will receive a preview upon completion and then after the amount is paid in full- you get your illustration!
Prices above reflect only standalone characters, if you want a reference sheet, rooms, backgrounds, props, etc, we’ll negotiate a price based on complexity.
NFSW is welcome if you’re of legal age, otherwise no.
UPDATE: I’m actually gonna be reblogging this a lot this week because of some unexpected losses. Know that literally every cent will go to bills, hahahaha.
If you want to keep from seeing this post please blacklist “Hiki Commissions” and you’ll be fine. I’d appreciate any reblogs.
Same anon here! Okay, thanks for the answer! Guess I’ll read them patiently in order then ;–)
De rien!
On a little further reflection, you can skip: *possible spoilers under the cut*
Pandora – Is mostly about Pandora, and Marius, and their relationship. Pandora’s not really in PL much and their relationship doesn’t have much to do with how Marius is in PL.
Vittorio – This is technically not a VC book, and he has a different origin story and is not part of the VC vampire group.
Blackwood Farm – This is mostly a story told to Lestat and he’s not very invested in it, I don’t think many (any?) of the new characters introduced in this book make any more than a mention or brief appearance in PL. It is also fairly cracky.
Blood Canticle – AR said that PL deviates from canon in that it does not include the hybrid VC/Mayfair Witches stuff, but I think she meant this book specifically, which has Rowan Mayfair, who does not appear at all in PL. It is also very cracky.
Would vampires have body hair? Like would their bodies go back to whatever natural form they have or would it stay the way it is trimmed when they were changed.
IDK about other kinds, but Ricean vampires would have face, head, and body hair at the length and placement it was when they died (the texture and color of the hair does change slightly, and hair dyes would not remain permanent).
Jesse mentions being groomed before she’s turned. So those stray eyebrow hairs wouldn’t keep growing back for eternity.
There would be a nightly choice of shaving the face or not, if one had a beard when they were turned, and it would only grow back to the length it was the night they died. Which is partly why we never see movie!Louis trimming his sideburns, they won’t get longer. He could shave them off but they’d grow back.
[X] ^Lookit this bearded cutie trying on his fangs awwww… ❤
Lestat doesn’t mention having or being able to grow a beard.
I answered this a little more in depth here.
So if you CAN’T TELL… I really like drawing Armand, Louis, and Lestat….

↳ [1/10] FAVORITE CHARACTERS – LESTAT DE LIONCOURT“Ah, come now. I look like an angel, but I’m not. The old rules of nature encompass many creatures like me. We’re beautiful like the diamond-backed snake, or the striped tiger, yet we’re merciless killers”
i have spent several days thinking about how my ideal piece of vampire chronicles media is not like, an actual well-done adaptation, but rather a mockumentary about satans nights out/the vampire lestat (in-universe band) because they are…. a southern glam rock band w a vampire theme who got rly famous for like 6 months in 1984, consisting of three stoner hair metal kids from new orleans and one (1) actual, real-life vampire who wants to make a music-video-per-song highly elaborate concept album about his life in a bid to, among other things, get his vampire ex boyfriends attention? and that sounds like perfect band mockumentary setup, to me
