Help, I think I have a thing for low-key evil hot (dirty) blondes

[thenightling]

This is weirdly Sandman related.

One of my Audible credits was about to expire so I was browsing audio books and decided "Hay! Wait! This isn't the mid-90s anymore. I no longer have to rely on the really badly abridged audiobooks of Anne Rice's The Vampire Chronicles!"

The Vampire Lestat read by Michael York was so badly edited that the entire climax and conclusion were missing. It didn't have Louis and Lestat reconciling, or Lestat's concert, or Louis and Lestat being rescued by Lestat's mother, or Lestat's abduction by Akasha...

So I begin my search for the unabridged audio books and to my surprise there was the first five Vampire Chronicles all read by Simon Vance. That's Lucien from The Sandman audio drama! The man who (when I asked who was playing Lucien for the audio drama) he replied on Twitter with "Lucien here, m'lady!"

Before The Sandman audio drama I already had Frankenstein as read by Simon Vance. Now I find he also read as Louis and Lestat?

Lestat... is The Librarian of The Dreaming? Who knew? :-P

Is there a life after IwtV Season 2?

So, Interview with the Vampire Season 2 is over, you have already rewatched it a dozen times and don’t know what to do with yourself?

Here’s a list of suggestions!

Read the books

I might be biased because I have been a fan since the early 2000s, but they are genuinely worth a read. A lot of people struggle especially with the first book, which I understand – but you can absolutely skip it and start right away with The Vampire Lestat! Especially The Vampire Lestat and Queen of the Damned are a great read and they are what is coming up next in the show. A lot of the plot of QotD happens at the same time as The Vampire Lestat, so I expect that material from both books will come up in the next season.

If you have a brain that enjoys audio books, they are actually available for free on youtube (though the narrator pronounces Louis’ name wrong). The version on the commercial audio book platforms read by Simon Vance is better though, if that’s an option for you. :)

The books after that are very much a mixed bag, but they all have some great and some downright crazy stuff in them, because Anne Rice’s writing was pretty unhinged at times. It’s a ride, but imho one worth taking.

Watch reaction videos on YouTube

I think I have by now watched all reactions that are available. For me it really brings a lot of joy to relive the experience of a first-time watch by proxy. Some are frustrating because people talk over important dialogue, some hold genuine galaxy brain moments by people who know nothing of the material. I will not recommend anyone, because vibes vary for everyone, but I’m sure there’s a reactor out there that YOU will vibe with.

Watch other shows/movies with the actors

Did you know that “Talk Radio”, written by and starring Eric Bogosian is available in full on youtube? I haven’t watched it yet, but I hear it’s really good.

For Sam Reid, I can’t recommend “Lambs of God” highly enough, and I hear great things about The Newsreader, which I sadly can’t get my hands on at the moment. “Belle” is also a beautiful movie, but his part is rather small as far as I remember.

Then of course there’s Hotel Portofino for Assad (but I’m not yet that desperate).

I actually haven’t watched anything with Jacob Anderson except Game of Thrones, which I will NOT rewatch, so I’m happy for suggestions there!

Watch the movies that have been namedropped by Rolin Jones

Hedwig and the Angry Inch – a phenomenal movie and stage show in its own right. It’s fun, it’s beautiful, it’s queer as fuck, the music is excellent and it’s an absolute must-watch.

Rocky Horror Picture Show – honestly, if you have never seen this movie, what are you waiting for?

The Dirt – Rolin Jones has mentioned the book, but there was actually a pretty decent movie made about Mötley Crüe a few years ago, that I really enjoyed.

Also, I have seen Amadeus mentioned several times, I’m not sure if that came up in an interview but it’s an excellent movie and the parallels to the relationship between Lestat and Armand are definitely there.

Honorary mention: Fight Club, not because anyone has mentioned it but… the parallels warrant an essay that I might one day have to write. (Themes: Queerness of male on male violence, imaginary boyfriends, idealization of toxic masculinity)

Read the books from Rolin Jones' reading list

I have now spent 10 minutes googling for that interview where he lists the books he’s reading for Season 3, but can’t find it. Someone please drop it in the comments?

Learn French

Want to feel closer to your favorite actors? Why not go through the same hell as them and get bullied by the Duolingo owl while at it? ❤

Discord servers

I’m not active there right now, but I have found several fandom servers that seem like great communities.

Read Fanfic

Honestly the reason this is down here is because it’s so obvious. :)

Get creative

Write fanfic, draw fan art, roleplay, edit videos, make unhinged memes!

And always: Support the content creators!

Everytime I scroll the tag I see new creators entering the fandom and let me tell you, after almost 20 years of drought, I am overjoyed. Same goes for fic writers, youtube reactors and reviewers! Leave them a like, a comment or whatever is available on the platform they are using.

Edit:

Watch the musical!

I completely forgot! There’s a Lestat musical by Elton John. Yes, you read that right. This lovely YouTube account has full bootlegs for you to enjoy some camp broadway fun!

[johannestevans]

I have added my ongoing serials to ScribbleHub, in case people read there!

Prophet's Cry

Erotic romance/drama, M/M infidelity leading to M/M/M where a boss doesn't realise that the man he's started seeing is the husband of the subordinate coworker he's been fucking over his desk. Rated E, 20k+. This has a Steddyhands flavour if that's your vibe.

Prophet Shulman, Administrative Secretary at the Middlesbrough branch of Friar Holdings, has been on the verge of divorce for the past twenty years, almost ever since he got married.

Shagging his boss might make him as bad as his husband, but what the Hell's the point in trying to be good anymore?

Meanwhile, Vance Vixen, recently emerged from his own divorce and also the closet, when not shagging his Admin Secretary in the stationery cupboard, begins a delicate romance with a bartender named Gideon Shulman.

Powder and Feathers

Dark erotic romance between a highly manipulative Fallen angel and a depressed, lonely alcoholic of an artist, fantasy and magical elements throughout. Rated E M/M with some fucking around, lots of kink, possession, weird flavours of trauma around bodily autonomy & abuse recovery.

This is originally inspired by Les Misérables, but if you love the French nastiness of Lestat de Lioncourt, you might enjoy the same vibes in Jean-Pierre Delacroix. Ditto if you generally like fucky angel mythology.

It seems to Aimé Deverell that there is very little point to life, except for what pleasures can be enjoyed before the grave. Life is short - thank God - but at least there's enough in the world to dull the senses in the meantime.

That philosophy shatters like glass when he meets Jean-Pierre, an angel.

Read on ScribbleHub / / Ao3 / / WorldAnvil / / Medium

Rescue Dogs

Slice-of-life and trauma recovery with some fucked-up romance and fantasy on the side between an ex-knight of the realm and destined hero and his ex-PE teacher. M/M with that E rating. Age gap, teacher/student vibes, trauma recovery, etc - ex-hero and child of destiny tries to be a normal person.

If you like the vibes of post-war fucked-up Snarry, you'll vibe with this; if you like the fucked-up destiny dynamics in BBC Merlin, ditto. In general, if you like it when men identify a little bit too much with abused dogs, this is the story for you.

Cecil Hobbes, an ex-PE teacher disgraced and looked down on in his hometown, has a new partner: Sir Valorous King, a knight of the realm, once a child of prophecy, and Cecil’s stalker.

A few months into their relationship, Cecil finally convinces Valorous to see a therapist, on the condition that Cecil attend one himself.

An Uncommon Betrothal

Period romance set in the 20th century interwar period between a disabled gentleman and his butler. Also E, also M/M. Lots of disability and chronic illness feelings here alongside a growing desire for and sense of queer community as a man begins for the first time to reach out and experiment with his sexuality whilst being disabled.

If you love Jeeves and Wooster or if you love more serious valet and butler vibes, such as Thomas plotlines in Downton Abbey, you'll vibe with this; if you're generally craving plots with disabled, fat, and neurodivergent men being very explicitly desiring, desirable, and desired, you'll like this!

Alexos Fox is of course quite sad when the long-time butler of his household, the man who all but raised him, retires. He is not at all prepared for the old man’s replacement: his exceedingly attractive and painfully tempting nephew, Harry Sutton.

Alexos, overcome with feelings that are simply too much to repress, tries his best to avoid him, but it seems that Mr Sutton has more than his employment on his mind as he attends his new employer with keen and concentrated focus.

Actually Lestat saying he didn't need the makeup artist while he has that JD Vance x Flashback Mary mug on was so funny girl YES YOU DO

[emeraldracer]

I'm in love with the audio version of TVC. I've only reread IWTV and read Pandora, as I've found a physical copy, but everything else was in Simon Vance's narration. Anne's writing just turns into a beautiful night-time fairytale in that format. The balcony scene with Lestat and Louis from ep7 pretty much communicated the same feeling. It's like dreaming.

[ladisgarde]

Simon Vance, the speaker of a lot of the newer VC audio books, does a good job; it's a challenge to consistently keep different character voices with such a large cast (Prince Lestat books), including accents. Though in this effort some of the characters sound too rough for my taste, but I get that makes it easier to keep track of them (Marius turned a lot more gruff from PL to Atlantis, which makes sense given he's in full authority mode VS fretting over Daniel; other ancients sound like extremely old men too, which... is fair). A lot of the accents are very ambiguous. The French sounds fine. I found Daniel's soft American voice endearing. Vance, born an Englishman, unsurprisingly nails the British characters best. He not actually my favorite among the VC audiobook speakers (initially thought his voice too mature for Lestat) but I got used to him.

That aside I'm very glad to have access to the written text alongside listening just to reference how things are spelled ("Ravenna??? Oh")

[realitybled]

🎰 !

casper vance-sterling & lestat de lioncourt

oh this is a fucking disaster. a disaster i wanna see play out so so badly. i dont know much about iwtv but i know Enough to know that casper and lestat would get along like a house on fire and it would be beautiful and terrrible <3

bryony hawkins & nikola orsinov

lukas henshall & muriel

baby angel, meet crime against god :) nah lukas is fine as long as muriel doesn't ask too many invasive questions and they will introduce them to the wonderful world of baked goods.

[fishslappping]

I’m back to prince lestat and the realms of Atlantis now and I was screaming NO ANNE WHY at the top of my lungs, tears streaming down my face, and laughing like a maniac, as Simon Vance calmly read to me over my car’s speakers on my way to work yesterday because I truly thought I had remembered it wrong that the bird alien’s humanoid bio-robot-bio-weapon’s (DEREK’s) lobbed off arm crawls out of a fire, rears up like some beetlejuice nightmare worm with a mouth on the palm of its hand and then 👏 latches 👏 onto 👏 this man’s 👏 NIPPLE.

[thenightling]

I just found out that Simon Vance (Lucien in The Sandman audible) is Lestat in the audible unabridged Vampire Chronicles audio books...  Lucien is Lestat and I'm not sure how to take that.   I barely got over the fact that he's Victor Frankenstein in my audible of Frankenstein!  He's everywhere!
