You: Vittorio isn’t a member of the Coven of the Articulate.
Me, an Intellectual: Lestat sent him an “Honorary Member” badge. He made it himself. There was glitter.

//okay but honestly how cool would it be if Louis’ dark gift was empathy all along??? Like, he obviously had the hardest time getting used to killing- harder than pretty much any other vampire we know of. And like, we know that when vampires feed, they kinda connect with the spirit of their victim- but what if Louis could do that without feeding? Like, he can’t read their thoughts, but what if he could feel their souls? What if he truly does have “the gift of knowing others’ suffering”???
And Lestat brushes it off like “lol ur just an emotional fledgling, chill out” and then Louis never ends up telling anyone about it lol and doesn’t bother mentioning it to Daniel bc he doesn’t think it’s important
This is really interesting, and Armand and Vittorio can do this to an extent, so it does exist in universe that you can kinda feel people’s souls/auras. It’s also telling when Armand mentions how Louis can spellbind people by accident haha. So yeah I could totally see him having some other version of telepathy that isn’t strictly verbal and maybe just never know how to articulate it.
Lady Gaga as Ursula?
Ursula? You mean from the Little Mermaid? IDK, not my department! But she is a fabulous character and I would love to see someone try to play her as beautifully as she was in the movie. Pat Carroll voiced her SO WELL.
EDIT: Thanks to @nodominion and @luffenmeihn for alerting me: Anon was referring to Ursula from Vittorio. Ursula was Vittorio’s maker.
I’m still not the right person to ask bc I never really considered Vittorio to be a Vampire Chronicles story (even though it IS listed in the VC Wiki), bc it seemed to always be intended as a stand-alone story:
“I have, however, nothing whatsoever to do with the “Coven of the Articulate,” that band of strange romantic vampires in and from the Southern New World city of New Orleans who have regaled you already with so many chronicles and tales.
I know nothing of those heroes of macabre fact masquerading as fiction. I know nothing of their enticing paradise in the swamplands of Louisiana. You will find no new knowledge of them in these pages, not even, hereafter, a mention.”
So I don’t remember it well enough to cast it 😛 Maybe I should give it a reread.
I’ll open this to everyone else. Anyone have thoughts on this? And while you’re at it, cast Vittorio, too. Might as well!
Hello! After years of re-reading the first 3 books, I am about to start book 4, ttotbt. However, I was looking at the order of books on Wikipedia and I noticed Pandora and Vittorio are kind of separate? When should I read them so that the series is in order?((your blog is PERFECT, by the way))
((My blog is perfect, indeed. Pffft must pretend to have some level of humility! Thank u *u* ))
Starting TOBT, you’re still on the more sane side of canon. JUST YOU WAIT.
When to read Pandora and Vittorio? That’s a good question. Other ppl may have different answers for you, so anyone feel free to reblog this w/ commentary or send me a message on this.
Pandora
This is the story of Pandora, who was with Marius for quite some time, so I would read this one right before Blood and Gold (which is Marius’ story) so that her perspective is fresh in your mind when Marius starts talking smack about her. AR wrote Blood and Gold after Pandora, so she had to keep that information in mind, too.
Vittorio
HONESTLY, I don’t see that Vittorio really fits into canon at all, I think the Coven of the Articulate are mentioned briefly in his book? His story won’t spoil any of the other books, bc it’s completely separate from theirs, so I’d leave it till later. After Blood and Gold. Maybe even after Prince Lestat, since he’s not in that book, either.
When I started the series, the first 4 had already been published, and I read the fresh VC in the order they were released. This meant that I read Pandora between MtD and TVA, not really ideal placement, as, if I recall correctly, she has only brief cameos in those. I read Vittorio between TVA and Merrick, and I don’t think he appears in either.
Back then we read everything immediately, fearing every VC novel would be the last; trying times. Hope this helped ^______^
