My first and favorite copy of Queen of the Damned finally lost a page, RIP.
Tumblr media
Honestly surprised it took this long, my matching copy of TotBT is in shambles. (It is in the Devil's Minion section, zero surprise there.)
This is the cover, BTW:

I love the little San Francisco illustration on this so much.

Hey google, how did it take me this long to wander far enough into this hellsite to discover Hannibal (all media) and Hannibal NBC? Cause like…
Same energy, different font.

Also, Abigail/Will and Louis/Claudia have the same energy, neither of which is healthy, or straight, and I’m here… at least for Abigail/Will.

A very vampirey de Romanus coven holiday 1: Saturnalia...

Prefacing this by saying anything I say is not a moral statement on anyone else, merely an observation I have come to on my own. Shout out to @monstersinthecosmos, @shittyravencarcosa, @somevagrantchild & @covenofthearticulate who are all lovely. In any case, to the point, I think it is fascinating the way Lestat and Marius act as both foils and mirrors of each other. Both blonde and allegorically a.ssaulted into vampirism and repeating their respective cycles of violence, vs, Lestat is an anti-hero, doomed to fail and get back up like a Shakespearian comic hero for eternity, as opposed to Marius, who is a scholar, always endeavouring to do better, but failing simply by being a vampire/product of a time predating the 18th century. It is fascinating, and whilst I am personally not the biggest Marius fan ever, there's so much that can be said about Rice's universe and character building, and to Rice's credit, she excelled at it.

I woke up thinking about the question of "Louis not being a reliable narrator" and that's why all the fingers are pointed in his face and then they shout YOU'RE A LIAR and I actually look at all these vampires and their books and think "well, nobody here is reliable, what a shame…"

have you mentioned anywhere what your suspicion is of what was being held back in ep 5? i came across your post and have read (at least 1-4) of the books, but i couldn't intuit what you meant and am curious!
Hi!
I haven't directly mentioned it anywhere on my Tumblr, except in reply to one other person -- hi @nalyra-dreaming! -- who has the same theory as I do about it all. I think she might go into it a bit more on her blog.
Oh, and the theory/suspicion about what's going on isn't in the first 4 books. I mean, there is a little hint in Book 3, but it's tiny. Miniscule even. Don't worry about missing it.

Lestat’s (canon) paramours as dogs...
Prompted by a question @the-brat-prince-1760 received. Lestat is definitely a dog person, Louis in all universes is a sad wet green eyed cat (affectionate). Special love to @i-want-my-iwtv for finding these and shout out to @sangcreole / @covenofthearticulate / @monstersinthecosmos & @fuckyeahitsmojo for being really cool.
Tumblr media
First shoutout to Mojo, Lestat’s 21st century best friend. Art credit: @good-evening-kiss, thanks for your service.
1. Louis de Pointe du Lac - green eyed cat, his opposite and his husband forever. He’s so special he isn’t a dog, he’s a cat.
Tumblr media
2. Nicolas de Lenfent - black wolf. Here’s your reminder that: @symphonyofmalice & @dvilsfiddler are super cool.
Tumblr media
3. Akasha de Kemet - Great Dane.
I head canon Akasha as short but fierce and she is of course, a brutal killer. Below is Akasha bullying Louis. She is a Great Dane because she’s scary and her veneer is fearsome.
Tumblr media
4. Gretchen/Quinn Blackwood/Dora/Antoine/Armand/David - I could write a myriad of meta on them but Lestat is attracted to them for the same reason, spiritualism and mutual understandings of sorts. It is for these reasons they are the hunting dog and companion of old, grey hounds.
Tagging: @the-apostates-martyr cause Quinn is his boy.
Tumblr media
5. Rowan Mayfair - Saluki - tagging @opheliaximmortal & @thirteenthxwitch cause they’re cool - his mirror image, but a woman in a man’s world and thus more persistent then him. Saluki are athletic and capable of atrocities but they’re usually dignified and royal looking.
Tumblr media
6. Lestat de Lioncourt & Gabrielle de Lioncourt - golden wolf dog or golden mastiff - pretty self explanatory, Lestat, while sometimes misinterpreted as cat coded is in fact a wolf or mastiff and the de Lioncourt’s (that aren’t Viktor or Rose) are golden wolves or wolf dogs capable of being vicious but also capable of kindness and self sacrifice. Tagging: @gabrielledelioncovrt, @gabrielle-de-lioncourt-anon, @desiredprince, @terreur & @thevampireforthesetimes 🫡

Thank you for listening to me ramble.

Plusieurs Petites Morts
Tumblr media
Plusieurs Petites Morts.
The beginning.
Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/49015285/chapters/123660094
Pairing: multi.
Fandom: Vampire Chronicles book series by Anne Rice.
Rating: E - explicit. check the tags. Don’t like… don’t read.
Summary: Happy Vampire Chronicles kink week 2023! Here is a series of not canon compliant self indulgent one shots and my contribution.
Excerpt: Lestat’s mistress or that is how du Lac and Madam Audrey first met. Now, they were at Trinity Gate and she was so much more than that. Lestat was away and caught up in whatever drama he was in these days. His former disdain and misogyny towards the well… ‘harlot’ which he would only call her when she asked to. She was beautiful, like some raven-haired Venus. “You cut our evening short.” — Louis de Pointe du Lac
