I gotta a question! So we all know that Louis is completely against turning a human into a vampire right? But at the same time, he wanted to leave Claudia to be with Armand. How on earth did he think it was going to work out? Obviously, he had to turn someone into a vampire in order for Claudia to be cared for since she couldn’t grow up.

Louis does not approve of making vampires himself, that’s for sure! But yes, Louis wanted to be with Armand and Armand didn’t want Claudia as part of that equation and she knew it.

So, right, IDK what Louis was thinking about how it could possibly work out w/o making her a new adult vampire companion. He had little choice in that. He couldn’t bear to think of her out there on her own, she clearly wasn’t going to be invited to join the Theatre des Vampires, and she couldn’t make an adult vampire herself. There was a line in book!IWTV where she tells Louis: “ ‘Can you picture it?’ she said, so softly I scarcely heard. “A coven of children? That is all I could provide…” <– whether she could actually turn a child is not known. We don’t know of it happening successfully anywhere else in canon before or after that point. Louis probably would not have approved of that, either.

Worth noting here is that in the first version of IWTV, Claudia wasn’t killed off by the Parisian coven (from the Vampire Companion):

“In the first version of [IWTV], Claudia eventually goes off with three vampire brothers whom she meets in Paris. She does not die. As such, it was as if Rice had attempted to give her daughter a form of immortality. Rice, however, experienced psychological problems that cleared up only after she had rewritten the ending – by killing off Claudia and taking Louis through an experience of intense grieving. This version was much more cathartic for Rice.”

So I got these messages in my inbox and cropped out the person’s name to protect the innocent.

Let’s hope this is an April Fool’s day joke, bc if so, wow, everyone involved got us. But…

^Bieberstat. Nightmare material :[ 

I feel like as an April Fool’s joke this goes kinda too far for the reasons the first message points out. It’s really bad taste (especially the queer erasure) too put it very gently, IMO 😦

Here’s the link, read at your own risk:

Hello there, I’ve heard that Lestat was given a birthday of AR’s husband, and Louis was given AR’s birthday. Is that true? I just read the first two books of VC, and it didn’t mention their birthday at all. Do vampires celebrate their birthdays?

Only the first 2, wow you have a ways to go! 

Yep, she gave us their birthdates (Louis – October 4; Lestat – November 7) outside of canon. Neither date is mentioned explicitly in canon, and so some ppl do not accept that information as canon.

(There is also some fanon that Armand’s bday is November 11, which AR never mentioned at all.)

I don’t recall the vampires ever celebrating their birthdays explicitly in canon, but I headcanon that some of them do. Some of them prefer to celebrate the date they were turned, some celebrate both (exception: I headcanon that Lestat doesn’t celebrate the date he was turned) and some celebrate neither (Khayman, maybe).

EDIT: Claudia mentions in her diary entry in QOTD that Sep. 21 is the night her dads honor every year as her birthday, and she doesn’t know why. It’s probably the night she was turned, bc Lestat tells her “‘It was the day you were born to us.’ ” It’s Michele Rice’s birthday, Anne Rice’s daughter.

[X] BTW, I was looking for a reference as to Lestat and Louis’ birthdays for an Ask and found this. Someone used one of my memeythings for Becket’s birthday in 2015. The POTP are aware of me… *shudders*

And no, AR was not among the 21 who Liked that pic.

Dear Lestat, I suppose you would create a better alias than just one letter, but have you considered that an alias is merely a means of hiding behind a façade – and perhaps I’m tired of doing just that? That one letter is my initial. I would give you my first name, but I’ve been told that names hold power and I’m not sure I’m ready to give that up. By the way, are you familiar with ‘Il Principe’ by Machiavelli? I figure it would come in handy when socializing in certain circles. Sincerely, H.

//ooc; I’m going to have to stop this right here bc Lestat doesn’t want to address it all. You’re picking on him for gently picking on you for signing off w/ one initial bc that would have been Louis’ indicator that Lestat wasn’t sending himself anons bc Lestat comes up w/ these ridiculous aliases in canon, so we both just… cannot continue. There’s other Lestats to RP more realistically with 😛

(Also, I haven’t read that book, and I don’t know much about it, so my Lestat is sort of lost on that, too, when canon Lestat probably at least has thoughts on it.)

I had a nightmare were Lestat kept trying to kill me along with like 50+ vampires. But Louis saved me. It was scary.

Désolé, mon cher, I would prefer to have the spotlight in your pleasurable dreams. Are you certain I was aiming for you? Perhaps there was someone behind you who deserved my wrath? I’ll tuck you into bed properly tonight.

Oh, and I don’t need such an army. I can usually handle these heated debates on my own. Well, to be a little more honest, gathering up such an army and getting them to fight together is an enormously taxing feat of production. Like herding cats. So perhaps it was some other gorgeous blond but incredibly weak vampire you saw, who would require such an entourage *winks*

Louis is truly an angel, is he not? *sighs dreamily* He’s saved me from terrible things, too. Mostly from myself. 

…Perhaps that’s why I didn’t try to contact him before my… business trip to the Gobi desert. I didn’t want him to save me then, and I’m sure he would have tried his best to do so.

Maeby: That Steve sure knows how to please a lady.

George Michael: Good. I was hoping he would be gifted sexually. I guess it makes sense, you know, older guys expect certain things.

Maeby: They do?

George Michael: What a fun, sexy time for you.
