♛”Are you trying to instigate a fight between Marius and I, fleur de rouge du Versailles? IT WON’T WORK. I’ve done much worse than remind him he’s an old man, directly to his face!” Lestat smirked, leaning back and straightening his vest.
“To answer though, it’s all relative: I am a fuckton older than you, and Marius is a mega-fuckton older than me and he knows it. Lords it over me implicitly. He’s a wealth of knowledge and experience and I can’t help but love him for the magnificent resource that he is. Although sometimes his opinions would be best kept to himself.”
1. RP is not a competition. You are not auditioning for the role of your muse. You aren’t trying to beat others out. You don’t own your muse or the muses who RP with your muse.* There might be 1 of your muse or 10, and that could number could change tomorrow. It’s not static. If you don’t like it, maybe tumblr RP is not for you.
2. No, seriously, RP is not a contest of any kind. It’s not about who’s “better” (who the hell decides that, anyway?) It’s not a race or a marathon or one of those irritating muddy obstacle courses. Fandom is giant celebration in a giant meadow and there’s room for everyone to play.
3. We are pretending to be vampires on the internet. It’s not serious business. Let’s all make an effort to be good to each other, yeah?
*Obviously you own your OCs, but the part about it not being a competition is still very true. It’s not.
Give me a vampire couple that’s been on and off again for like hundreds of years. Like they fight like crazy and break up and not see each other again for a long time but then come back together like nothing has changed and are all over each other in love. They won’t admit it but they’ll love each other forever no matter what, even if they’re not always together.
“Sending a shoutout to all of the quiet people who slip in and out of the fandom leaving comments and positive energy, thinking that they’re invisible or unnoticed. You’re not. You are noticed and you are valued. Thank you for being here, maintaining your presence, and for supporting others. Thank you for contributing to this vibrant community and everything that you do.”
“damnitarmand is such an incredible Armand. Their prose is rich and beautiful and they manage to capture all of the different facets of Armand’s complex and mercurial personality so well. Their writing is always such a pleasure to read.”
//YES. If you are not following them, you should fix that right the hell now. The mun is my writing soul mate so i may be a wee bit biased but this is 100% true.
♛Usually not. Bed-related shopping is one of my favorite chores! Which happens pretty often *winks* I particularly love waterbeds, the heated water is so soothing. But CERTAIN PEOPLE are afraid of the potential water damage from a pierced waterbed, sooooo I can’t actually OWN one.
Sleeping in coffins, though, I see why it would make you feel odd, dead… I think I find it… comforting or punishing depending on my mood. It’s a comfort to be in such a small space in perfect darkness, reminiscent of going to ground, completely embraced by the earth.
I order my coffins custom – large, Italian silk lining, memory-foam mattress, and I do enjoy sharing with a loved one, you’re always invited, mon bijou ❤
Other times, when I don’t want to allow myself the luxury of sleeping in a bed… I climb into an older coffin, lined with towels, in the attic. It’s a real punishment.
For safety, and on this you might agree: a large trunk is still my most trusted place to sleep on a ship. I’ve found that mortals assume a coffin contains the dead; so regardless of vehement instruction, or loads of cash, they insist on putting it in non-passenger-accessible storage! Most irritating.
What We Do in the Shadows sketchbook fanart. Probably my favorite movie I’ve seen this year. If you haven’t seen this movie yet, definitely go see it!!
