I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says, "Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.”
—Lewis Carroll

25 Trinity Gate’s Do’s & Don’ts of Sex in Armand’s Bed 
(or place representing thereof) 
“Who’s your daddy?” will not be tolerated. “Who’s your mommy” will result in Lestat crying and while that doesn’t always ruin the mood, it does mean having to deal with it when there may be other plans for the evening.
The last person to use toys and equipment is responsible for making sure they are cleaned and put away properly. It’s not fair to have Louis do it, even if having them in alphabetical order helps when finding something.
Put everything back where you find it. The Georgian Library is not the proper place for a cat o’nine tails, even if I’m sure King George would have supported the efforts.
The list of safe words cannot be anything to do with parents, former masters or anyone else in the house who may hear it and come running. Sybelle is likely traumatised.
All blood is sacred and any spilled on bedding, carpets or any other surface must be licked up.
Lestat may not sulk if someone else is rightfully called a slut. He does not own the word and if he’s not being enough of one, that’s his problem.
Hair pulling is wonderful. Leaving hair you have pulled out on the floor so it gets tracked into the shower room is not.
Wearing pyjamas means you’re off-limits if you’re just not in the mood, unless you’re Louis. In which case, yes and no pyjamas will be negotiated by colour. 
All dressing must be submitted for dry cleaning before sunrise. Explaining the strains on the cheerleader costume was very awkward and those pom-poms had to be thrown away.
Any cracked walls or tiling needs to be free of blood before someone is called to repair itt.
When Bianca stays, she has first choice of activities and who with. This is just politeness. You must also ask before borrowing her jewelery, I’m looking at you Lestat. Those pearls are not anal beads. Those are in the drawer under the bed.
Reading is not permitted during sex unless previously agreed upon. Remember how upset Louis gets when his books get bloody or their spines broken.
Don’t leave pornographic materials on in standby mode. Marius came over to discuss court business and thtings became very awkward, very quickly.
No lit flames, not even for the purposes of dripping wax. Find another way to do it. Those curtains were 16th century.
Do not poke someone in the shoulder and ask them to move over because you want to watch what’s happening with the person they are pleasuring or punishing. Move yourself, they’re in the moment.
Pinwheels must be washed and sanitised before use. It’s not about infection, it’s about rust. Same goes for vampire gloves, the material will be damaged.
If you are blindfolded, no reading of anyone else's mind is allowed. Sensory deprivation experiments only work if everyone plays along.
You do not bring another person into the bed without agreement from all parties. That includes that stray cat, it almost got thrown against a wall when it was discovered that wasn’t Armand purring.
 Trains do not go up or in orifices without prior consent. It’s not being spontaneous, it's ruining their paint job.
Any collars must be lovingly maintained by their wearers. This is as close to a wedding ring as anyone is likely to get unless Lestat decides to have one of those mass marriages.
The Great Disney experiment is never to be repeated. We’re still finding glitter from fish scales in the carpet and that spinning wheel is an antique, not a prop.
The choking  is symbolic. We all know vampires don’t require breathing. Pointing it out will get you kicked out of bed.
No fake nails. We lost one up there and it still hasn't come out. 
No pet names are to be used outside the bedroom unless agreed upon whether the person is wearing a tail plug under their clothes or not. 
Other things that will get you removed from the bed: mocking Louis’ fuzzy rat socks, losing one of Armand’s rings in the sheets, smacking Daniel without asking for Armand’s consent first, breaking Lestat’s nails if he’s asked for them not to be, putting your hair in anyone’s face if they don’t like it, video conferencing the court while still naked in bed with everyone, smoking and not sharing (also bringing a lighter or matches, see the rule about matches), destroying lingerie and not replacing it, not properly securing the harnesses or breaking down the door (axe optional).

How would Belladonna react to the MC trying to reciprocate in a number of no sexual ways? Like doing chores or giving her words of affirmation or nonsexual physical contact?
Bella is not much for words of affirmation. She gives those out but she doesn't really read it as love in return.
And an MC trying to do chores? She would be incredibly confused by that. She hires people to clean her area and would probably bat MC away for attempting to take their job.
No, the way to Bella's heart is books. Hands down.

Title: Smoke Gets In Your Eyes & other Lessons from the Crematory
Author: Caitlin Doughty
Pages: 272
"Armed with a degree in medieval history and a flair for the macabre, Caitlin Doughty took a job at a crematory and turned morbid curiosity into her life's work. She cared for bodies of every colour, shape, and affliction and became an intrepid explorer in the world of the dead. In this best-selling memoir, brimming with gallows humour and vivid characters, she marvels at the gruesome history of undertaking and relates her unique coming-of-age story with bold curiosity and mordant wit. By turns hilarious, dark, and uplifting, Smoke Gets in Your Eyes reveals how the fear of dying warps our society and "will make you reconsider how our culture treats the dead" (San Francisco Chronicle)."
I partly read this book as research for my own story ideas, but also because those things (that other people might think of as macabre) always have interested me.
It's quite fascinating. Doughty talks about how we see and cope with death as well as our misconceptions and stereotypes.
I can only recommend that you read it - Smoke Gets In Your Eyes will answer questions and make you question your perception of death simultaneously.
Two quotes from the book:
"But ignorance is not bliss, only a deeper kind of terror."
"The meaning of life is that it ends." (quoted after Franz Kafka, as mentioned in the book as well)

May 3, 2022
One of my proudest “book collector” moments was when I finally completed my collection of of the Dragon Codices books by R.D. Henham. Sadly, they did not get the chance to create a book for ALL the D&D dragons, but I’m still happy with the ones that did make it.
In high school I found the Black Dragon Codex in a Half Price Books, since I was obviously emo. For several years after that I worked to collect all 7 books. It wasn’t until 2020 that I was able to complete my collection, my parents gifting me the Green Dragon Codex for the winter holiday.
No, I have not read all of them but I’m making my way through this beautiful stack.

I just bought 8 books at Barnes and Noble and the cashier said, "This should keep you busy for a while."
Sir, I'm not going to read these. I'm going to hoard them for 5 to 10 years before then.

I'm a bit of a book hoarder, as reading is one of my favourite hobbies, but today I did a big thing!!! I gave away/ donated over 200 books (I think- I'm not counting). I had a full bookshelf and 4 piles that were as tall as my waist, PLUS some stashed under my bed. Now I've reduced it to just the bookshelf. It's time to let other people experience the joy that I felt.

Yeah sex is good but wait until I show Bella my book shelves 😌 it has the ladder on wheels 📖
Now this has me thinking..does she prefer hardcover or paperback books. Oh how about the pages with the gold foil
Her book preference is everything. She is a little dragon hoarder when it comes to books. But I do think she has a special shelf for some of the really old hardbacks that are more rare. She is constantly on the hunt for rare print books.
