ermagehrd thank u so much u sweet thing! 

Idk about your friends not understanding the allure of the VC fandom. Some ppl write off all vampire media these days bc we’re so saturated with it. Some ppl write off the movie bc Tom Cruise is in it, or the problematic elements in the books are too problematic for them… there are alot of reasons ppl are resistant to VC and I don’t blame them, the series is not for everyone. Oprah walked out of movie!IWTV (after 15 min I think?)!

Anyway notes like this one mean SO MUCH to me. I’m not planning on inventing anything, proving myself in some kind of athletic competition, winning any awards, or leaving my mark in some other more societally-approved way. 

If I can just share the love for this one pile of dysfunctional vampires w/ other like-minded ppl, and encourage the fanworks to keep the fandom alive, I’m perfectly fine with that. THIS IS MY LEGACY.
