How tall are you compared to Armand? Is it a benefit or a detriment?
vagabonddaniel-recordedarchives:
I’m not that much taller. I’m a couple inches shorter than Lestat. Maybe 5 inches taller than Armand, when he’s not wearing heeled shoes, and the man owns a lot of heeled shoes.
Pros: I can make short jokes. Cons: I get punched for making short jokes.
That’s about it, really.
forev 21 but you look like you could go into a liquor store without having to show that id. im 22 and i look like im 14 imagine the stares. yes. you are a fuckton old. add the fuck a lot and it turns into fuckton. is the science of fuckery.
♛“Too bad that you’re trapped in the body of a child. I know ALL TOO WELL how frustrating that can be.”
“Okay now that I understand what a fuckton is, definitely a better word than a ‘shitload’ which I have also heard and really that’s not that much when you think about it as a real quantity, but yes, I am a fuckton old, and a fuckton wiser than I started out in this life.”
I actually just discussed the vampire asexuality question here.
TL;DR, my feeling is that Ricean vampires are asexual in canon, but fully sexual in fanon (fanfic, fanart, etc.). #Your headcanon may vary #Judge not, that ye be not judged.
… and then again, that all depends on your definition of sex ;]
How do I hone my psychic powers to block out vampires who want to listen to my thoughts?
To hone your psychic powers for blocking out vampires, it takes a considerable period of time devoted to practice and a strengthening of your personal gifts. Also, the success rate depends entirely upon the vampire in question. Many have never honed their own psychic powers and are only able to read surface thoughts of humans. A vampire who has mastered their abilities (Armand, as an example, is a master of those gifts) would be considerably more difficult to keep out.
Your mind is only as open as you permit it to be. It has been described in the Chronicles how vampires keep their thoughts obscured from others. Images, a closed door, or sounds and sensations intended to confuse the intruding mind. My own psychic gifts were formidable enough towards the end of my mortal life that I was able to pick up on the thoughts of vampires and mask my own from them. I’d had a lifetime of practice.
My preferred imagery is that of a jungle when I must guard my thoughts without much notice — like in an emergency. I scatter my thoughts throughout it like drops of rain. By the time they have made any progress in their trek to find them, I am usually gone and beyond their lasting mental reach. My standard imagery is a library. In that defensible mental place, I keep my thoughts and memories in the pages of the books, and a countless number of blank ones as handy camouflage.
If you want to be successful, then you should work upon your own method. Use things that are so familiar to you in your physical world that they’d be mentally easy to grasp. Music or radio static are simple things because they require no imagery. Those two are rudimentary skills that are taught for those first learning their gifts in the Talamasca. Or basic visual images. A closed door, a locked gate. Literal things.
Work on strengthening those blocks in your mind and keeping out a vampire will become easy over time.
Today I learned that Lou is another way ppl call the weed….I don’t know how I feel about it….

- Ew.

- he did it in Memnoch the Devil to a NUN (it was consensual tho)

- The blood is the life and all that right?
They can smell it, it smells like spilled blood to them, as usual… they say “Hunger is the best sauce” and that’s certainly true for Lestat (ew).
Hit the jump for the scene from canon about this (and I think it was tastefully done, no pun intended) but I warn you, what has been read cannot be unread.
“Her menses. It was being neatly collected by a pad of white cotton
between her legs.
I let myself think of it now because the menses was
heavy and the smell was overpoweringly delicious to me. It began to
torture me, the thought of licking this blood. This isn’t pure blood,
you understand, but blood is its vehicle and I felt the normal
temptation that vampires do in such circumstances, to lick the blood from
her nethermouth between her legs, a way of feeding on her that
wouldn’t harm her.
Except under the circumstances it was a perfectly outrageous and
impossible thought.”
Later: “…
that special, perfumed blood collecting
neatly between her legs.”
MUCH LATER: “
“Forgive me, forgive me,” I whispered,
…and I lapped at the blood just inside her young pink vaginal
lips, just coming from the mouth of her womb, not pure blood, but
blood from her,… blood that brought no pain, no
sacrifice, only her gentle forbearance with me, with my unspeakable
act, my tongue going deep into her, drawing out the blood that was
yet to come, gently, gently,…
…taste and smell of blood, her sweet
blood, a place where blood flows free and no wound is made or ever
needs to be made, the entrance to her blood open to me in her
forgiveness.”
Go to the book for more, I was trying to be really concise here. In the earlier part of the book when he smells it, he wants it bc blood is blood, but he can control himself and he knows it’s “a perfectly outrageous and impossible thought.”
Later, he had just gotten back from a traumatic adventure and he wanted the blood as a means of self-medication (comfort food!) as much as he needed the closeness to Dora herself. Vampires probably prefer wound blood. Maybe there are vampires who prefer it this way, though! It’s good that AR addressed the question ;]
I also have a tag with a few more posts about Dora the Nun and there’s fanart of this scene.
Dude, my accidental headcanon for years was that the, ahem, vampire sexual fluids were actually blood, since it seems to replace all the other fluids. I forgot the “the lower parts doesn’t work anymore” part and, by my logic, if they cry blood -> they also sweat blood -> so they must split blood too, then -> WELL… (It also would explain why vampires love red sheets and basically red everything in home decor)
That’s a legit headcanon! And a good reason why the Bed, Bath and Beyond in NOLA is always mysteriously sold out of red bedlinens… hmmmm…
^This was in response to the vampire asexuality post here. I’d like to discuss these in further detail… would anyone be interested if I made a spillover page for larger discussion topics where you could comment easier? Even comment on Anon?
