This is why you need a handler, sweetie. You get too excited and try to fuck the machine like a little whore who can only think with her teats. That's okay though, isn't it? We love your enthusiasm. It's so cute to see you get yourself all worked up while you're fulfilling your purpose but you need to stay still for the time being.

All this dancing around gets in the way of pumping all your milk. We can move you to the breeding stocks afterwards so you can work off this energy. And you can listen to some hypno in the meantime. Aren't we good to you?

To be honest Denis scenes freaked me out so much in the book. Like, Armand, brother, wtf are you doing with that child. Why is he here. And didn't Armand say something about being Denis's slave? I'm choosing to believe it was just about child's blood tasting better and nothing else. Or maybe it was just Anne wanting some kind of mirrorring character for Claudia and being really fucking weird about describing children

Mhh no iirc it is Claudia who states that Denis is Armand‘s slave and that he is drawing out his life.

But in any case Anne… didn’t hold back - this is Louis feeding on Denis:

… 😬

Yeah.

Something like “Human snack pet with benefits“.

(Anne was many things but most assuredly never afraid of going the distance.)

In the books the vampires later have “snack dungeons“ again(!) where they put criminals they hunt for more easy feeding (not kidding, they put them there for the younger ones to select and feed on etc). Given the show has introduced “The Farm“ already it will be very interesting to see what that turns out to be.

Do any of the men get impatient and fuck the farmer at the same time ie like all the bull men fuck the farmer at the same time.

I imagine the dog men, cat men, and maybe the harpies do. But the centaurs would likely be too awkwardly positioned and the bull men don't want to hurt the reader.

They may spitroast the reader with one fucking their face and the other fucking them from behind, but they would probably not do it too roughly to avoid harming their darling.

Described as Hemingway`s most prized and beloved possession, at least after his boat Pilar - The Farm, painted by the Spanish artist Joan Miró (1921-1922). First piece of art that Hemingway bought, for 5 000 french francs. It was a birthday present for his wife, Hadley. He wrote in 1934 in the journal Cahiers d'art, “No one could look at it and not know it had been painted by a great painter. I would not trade it for any picture in the world.” Hemingway also described it by saying, “It has in it all that you feel about Spain when you are there and all that you feel when you are away and cannot go there. No one else has been able to paint these two very opposing things.” Now in the National Gallery of Art, Washington, where it was given in 1987 by Mary Hemingway.   ::: [Lina Bulgaria]  ::  [Ernest Hemingway]

“All good books are alike in that they are truer than if they had really happened and after you are finished reading one you will feel that all that happened to you and afterwards it all belongs to you: the good and the bad, the ecstasy, the remorse and sorrow, the people and the places and how the weather was. If you can get so that you can give that to people, then you are a writer.”

― Ernest Hemingway

EDIT: Under the cut is a quote from Blood Communion, dealing with the Replimoids and their way of procreation. As @lynnenne pointed out it can be triggering. However, I'd like to point out that both book Louis and show Louis are (supposedly) fine with the "farm" (dungeons)... which is why I posted it.

”Now the slave, even with her diminished intelligence and total lack of ambition or curiosity, nevertheless knows pain and seeks to avoid it, and appears to want only the simplest comforts and peace. The slave likes nothing better than to sit outside in my garden and watch the movement of the trees in the breeze.” “Is the slave capable of anger, or malice, or the will to do harm?” “Apparently not,” she responded. “But how can we know? I can tell you think that if I were to present you with a present of such a tenth-generation Replimoid she would be content as your guest forever supplying you with blood whenever you desired it. Teskhamen has put that to the test. There is a slight response in the slave to being praised for obedience, a certain happiness in knowing that her blood has nourished another, but almost no real sense of the difference between herself and other clone children or blood drinkers or incarnate spirits such as Gremt. To the tenth-generation slave, all beings register socially in terms of what they say and how they smile or frown.” “This is a power that could be misused in hideous ways,” I said.

> Blood Communion

Personally I think this is what The Farm refers to in the show.

Replimoids (clones) of the tenth generation being kept, happy to give blood, to be fed on. Immortal in their own right.

Obviously there is a strong comment to be / could / should be made by the show here - slaves kept for feeding. Similar to the evildoers they keep in the dungeons later, those decidedly not immortal but used for them to experience the kill. Similar to what Armand did, too, with the boy he kept. And what Damek is for in Dubai, too.

It is also interesting that Lestat notes the potential for abuse here - even though Kapetria has clearly explored and thought through it. Has worked with Fareed and Teskhamen. And Amel.

It will be very telling to see where the show will put Armand I think - Armand being something of the antagonist in the first books after all. Now, obviously that changes later. But… the Dubai situation really carries a lot of weight - for truth and reconciliation as Louis calls it, but also in regards to the feeding-based concerns, and the way Louis is kept - or keeps himself.
