not everybody has been exposed to what you have, or has seen what you’ve seen or felt what you’ve felt. so their priorities and abilities are different from yours. that’s why you can’t compare their accomplishments or their journey to your own. you don’t see the mountains you’ve conquered as mountains because the view you’re seeing is skewed. you can’t always trust your own eyes when they’re looking at yourself. you can only strengthen your mind; tell yourself that you’re different and your battle is unique. remind yourself that you’re winning your fight just by surviving.
bunch of oldish sketches I found that I think I never posted? the first two (the armand/daniel and the lestat and marius doodles) are definitely outtakes from comics I already posted. the daniel and lestat at the bottom probably are too.
Something came back to him, something he had known long ago – that in the language of an ancient people, the word for flowers was the same as the word for blood.

In short, we present IMMUNITY STAGS.
For any of my anxious/scared followers
because no one likes those REBLOG THIS OR [YOU DIE] posts and they also give me really bad anxiety
Hey! I’m really enjoying your VC fanart. Keep it up!
So, spoiling ppl with plot points, that’s one way to drag fresh blood into a new fandom ;D I know I love being spoiled, I want the plot points before I read a book, so if your friends want that info… I have a few timelines, Idk if any are the definitive one, try my #timeline tag.
One timeline AR published is in the Vampire Companion, but it’s not up to date, but it’s through books 1-5 and you might still be able to find it online or on Amazon or somewhere else.
I like being spoiled a lot of the time because it gives me a chance to mentally and emotionally prepare for what might be coming. It also lets me get right in there with appreciating the bits of foreshadowing and seeing how the gears of the plot are turning.
I agree, @audacityinblack, that’s very well-put re: it also lets me get right in there with appreciating the bits of foreshadowing and seeing how the gears of the plot are turning. For me, it’s not as much about the plot points as how a story is told, and so I get something different out of the story every time I go through it.
But I have to know in advance who dies! I’ve always skipped ahead for that.
I get why ppl would NOT want to be spoiled, too. I don’t personally think either approach is better, just different strokes for different folks.
