How to tell if you’re in an Anne Rice novel

sarahtaylorgibson:

  1. God has abandoned you. You’re fine with it. Really.
  2. You are a supernatural creature, and if not, you are swept up in a passion so otherworldly and consuming you may as well be.
  3. You take huge revelations, shocks, and life changes pretty much in stride and don’t waste time resisting the unknown. The unknown might be a vampire or a new sexual experience or a grand international adventure, but most probably it’s all three.
  4. You are strangely intimate with all your acquaintances and go on for pages about how beautiful they are. If you are male, It will come to light by your own casual admission that you have gone to bed with an older but still handsome and always disarming male friend of the family. You will call it making love. But no homo.
  5. Everyone around you is exchanging needful touches and tender glances like this is a softcore porn novel. Wait, is it?
  6. You swoon, cry, and pine an awful lot.
  7. At some point in the narrative, you will end up in an ornate Catholic church and be filled with a sense of nostalgia and longing and existential angst.
  8. You are really not okay with the apparent fact that God has abandoned you. You secretly hope you are still worthy of His love.
  9. You spend at least 20% of the narrative in New Orleans, probably the Garden District.

roleplayerxshoutouts:

“Shoutout to all the role-players who put lots of love, care, and effort into their character(s) and never seem to get recognized for it. Maybe no one’s noticed yet. Maybe you play an unpopular character, or you play a character so popular that you get lost in the shuffle. Maybe you’re just not friends with people who do shoutouts. But the community appreciates what you do, unrecognized role-player, even if the community doesn’t know it. Cheers to you.”
