do you think the women in anne rice’s books have the same problems lesbians do irl. like do they try for relationships that are blatantly a bad idea because they’re so lonely. do the tulane drafts show gabrielle and bianca having whatever the vampire equivalent of a one-night stand is and then realizing when gabrielle tries to dig them both holes in the ground that it Will Not Work Out

#i almost said pandora and gabrielle but i sort of wonder if there might be hope for them #vc #gabrielle de lioncourt #bianca solderini #anne rice #the answer is probably yes because this state of desperation for company seems to be a common trait of most vampires

Just for fun

The Murder Mystery at the Center of The Vampire Armand

The most important singular event in The Vampire Armand is the death of the titular character. Of course, by the time we first encounter him in Interview with the Vampire, he’s already dead. He’s been dead a long time. How Armand (originally Andrei, then Amadeo) dies is important.  

So, who killed Armand?

The cause in fact is, Marius kills Armand. Marius takes the action (cycling his vampiric Blood with Armand’s living blood) that causes Armand to finally die. He had also offered to be the cause in fact for a mortal death, as Armand will die of his wounds in either case. Armand, on his deathbed, impresses on Marius—as they had discussed before—that he does want to become a vampire, where the process of becoming a vampire is fatal. Armand becomes a vampire and in so doing, he dies, having been killed by Marius.

The proximate cause, however, is Armand’s mortal wounding by Harlech. He is already dying, just not dead.

So, what do we know about Harlech, and what is the significance of what we learn?

The Earl of Harlech feels like a bit of a non-character compared to others in the book. We know he’s wealthy, English, redheaded, and has a violent streak. We never actually learn his given name. Harlech is a bit of a curious figure in that neither Armand nor Marius has an incentive to describe him in anything but unflattering terms, particularly after their reunion in Queen of the Damned, which precedes The Vampire Armand and Blood & Gold. That said, he’s oddly one-note for a character in this series, much less one who is key to the most significant event that the novel describes.

Now, why does this matter?

The first time I read The Vampire Armand, I realized there was something odd, even by Anne Rice standards, about this portion of the novel. Bianca is very obviously more developed, and she comes across as suspicious in some strangely-defined way. Armand, himself, does not seem to find her suspicious and is not suspicious of her in his retelling. However, as a reader, receiving his story, it struck me that it felt like he should have been.

Anne Rice was always ruthless about first-person narratives being realistic. Characters don’t focus on events they don’t care about; they have faulty recollections; and they only know what they actually should know.

Bianca is clearly important to how events unfold in ways that Armand himself fails to realize.

I would argue it’s not just possible, but deeply probable, that Bianca is ultimately and deliberately responsible for Armand’s death.

MicroFic May - A Vampire Chronicles Fandom Event

What:

Four prompts will be given each week, for all four weeks in May, starting on Sunday, May 4. The goal is to use one or more of those prompts to create short fiction for that week: drabbles, ficlets, vignettes, and short works aiming to be between 100 to 1000 words. (Though no one is going to be mad if you go a little over.)

You can post your work on Tumblr, AO3, anywhere you post fic. Please tag @vcmicroficmay and use the hashtag #vcmicroficmay to help us find your work so we can share it, and feel free to message us if you think we missed your entry!

Why:

Short fiction is great! It’s challenging to keep things short but that’s part of the fun. A limited number of words can really draw things into focus and can highlight things that might otherwise get lost. It allows writers to explore new ideas or ideas that one would not necessarily write a longer story about. It offers the chance to explore little moments and slices of life without the pressure of turning it into a longer work.

Rules:

Entries should aim to be between 100 words to 1000 words, though no one is going to be counting and it’s fine to go a little over (or under!)

Works can be inspired by The Vampire Chronicles books, the IwtV movie, the AMC show, the musical, whatever.

Late entries are great!! Creativity doesn’t work on a schedule. We appreciate your fic no matter when it appears.

You can post your work on Tumblr, AO3, or wherever you post fic and link to it from Tumblr. We will have a collection on AO3 you will be able to add your work to as well.

Please consider sharing and commenting on other people’s entries as that’s part of the fun!

When:

We’ll post the prompts at the beginning of April to help everyone prepare and then we’ll repost the prompts for the week on every Sunday in May, starting on May 4, as a reminder.

For now, please share, spread the word, and let us know if you have questions!

Bianca Solderini

I'm quite insecure about coloring my art, but you know, gotta get out of that comfort zone I guess

I really like how she turned out

(let's just pretend there's no stain on her cleavage... it's not intentional and it's not cum)

Here's a closeup:

To quote my sibling, "Oh, they have such colour palettes"

Amadeo, Riccardo, and Bianca, with anachronistic sunglasses

The Renaissance is actually one of the eras of history where I'm more interested by the mens fashion than the womens. I love those lil split-colour tight pants they're so stupid.

Ski Resort Headcanons

Here are some random headcanons about the vampires going to a ski resort:

Louis - Would spend most of his time inside the lodge near the fireplace, reading. He might be implored to go out snowshoeing or cross-country skiing on one of the shorter trailers and appreciates walks around the lodge in the snow.

Lestat - Would insist on skiing the hardest triple-diamond slopes after refusing any lessons. But when he got to the top of the slope, he might question the wisdom of that. Luckily his immortal body can take a beating because he would struggle with the moguls and steeper grades (occasionally flying up over them to avoid crashing), though he’d get to the bottom and brag it was no problem.

Marius - Is actually a practiced skier, who’s spent several winters in the Alps skiing. He would pass Lestat on the harder slopes and maybe even stop to try and help him. Lestat would refuse.

Daniel - Has probably spent some time skiing with Marius. Is pretty good at it although he has no desire to fling himself down the steepest face of a mountain and sticks to the more medium slopes. He also appreciates time in the warm lodge by the fire, playing games on his iPad.

Armand - Is an adept skier who might go with Daniel or Marius or both of them. He would get goaded into doing the most difficult runs because Lestat would insist he couldn’t and Armand would feel the need to prove him wrong, which he would do, accusing Lestat of cheating when he uses the cloud gift to skip the more difficult sections. And he’d enjoy taking quiet walks with Louis around some of the shorter trails. But Armand’s favorite part is riding the ski lifts. He likes getting on and off them, and then being whisked through the air on that little chair.

Gabrielle - Would mostly snowshoe around and lurk in the off-limit forested areas between the runs and trails.

Thorne - Would love skiing and particularly enjoy the easier slopes since he could just glide down and then hike back up. Only rides the ski lift if someone goes with him.

Benji and Sybelle - Armand would buy them the most high-end snow gear and suits. Benji would snowboard.

Jesse - Would stick to the medium runs just because she finds them more fun and doesn’t like the stress of the super difficult ones. Would also enjoy holding a hot cocoa near the fire to smell it and feel its warmth in her hands.

Pandora - All about ice skating if it’s available, though she might get on the skis for a bit just to prove she’s every bit as good as Marius.

Bianca - Also prefers to snowboard. Tries to get Armand and Daniel to try it with her, but Armand spends far too much time researching and trying to pick the best snowboards for them both instead of just… renting some and doing the thing.

Please feel free to add to this, or let me know if you have other related headcanons.

“You need to stop,” Bianca told him gently.

NO! A mental scream, but Bianca did not recoil, and Daniel did not hear.

“You must,” Bianca whispered. “He is not your Daniel right now. He doesn’t understand what to do with everything you are saying.”

“He does!” Armand argued. “Look, he cries with me.”

“You are distressing him,” Bianca said. She looked to him as she spoke to Armand. Of course, for she could still see into his mind as Armand could not. “He… Armand, he knows he cannot please you, and it’s destroying him.”
