The great thing about fandom/internet friends vs. friends you meet out IRL, is that when you get to know people for the first time face-to-face, there’s this awkward process of trying to figure out juuuust how much of a dork they are, and how much you can nerd out before you scare them off. Like, you don’t wanna break out the real freaky shit right off. There’s always the impulse to hang back a little, as you try to gauge just how into a thing they are. But with fandom friends? You fucking met them in the garbage heap. You knew their fucked up narrative kinks before you even know their real name. They are screaming their passions into the void. Your friendship comes pre-loaded with already knowing the exact depths of each other’s depravity, and any ordinary-people-shit you have in common is just a bonus.
These are separate calls for fanworks, the @vcsecretgifts exchange is not anon, and runs for the holidays only; I hope that the vampire chronicles anon fanworks meme will continue on beyond December. We needs a consistent one! It can be anon or not. More info on it as it becomes more developed.
…For our fourthannual Vampire Chronicles Secret Santa exchange!
If you participated last year, or participated in any of the other exchanges we hosted after, you should be familiar with how this works. Think Secret Santa, but with no sharing of physical addresses. The gifts given are all shared completely on Tumblr, be it drabbles, fanart, awesome graphics, or what have you. We’ve had great turn outs the past couple of years, and we are definitely looking forward to seeing what great stuff you all submit this year!
If you would like to join:
You can sign up until December 2nd at 11:59PM CST.
By December 7th, we will be assigning all of you your Santas.
Presents must be submitted to the page no later than December 24rd at 11:59PM CST.
Gifts will be posted in a queue throughout the day on December 25.
So, feel free to swing by the rules page, and once you’ve read that through, go ahead and join!
Do the thing, ppl! @wicked-felina and I will be the mods of this event. We saw great turnout last year, and for @monstersinthecosmos & @superhiki‘s #InktoberVC, let’s keep the fanworks momentum going with this year’s @vcsecretgifts exchange <3<3<3

“You have to invite me in.” – Let the Right One In (2008)
Here’s a painting I did of Eli and Oskar, in one of the most chilling moments of a beautiful Swedish vampire film (that I highly recommend.) Limited edition prints are available here.
(better known as a kink meme, but it doesn’t have to be kinky lmao)
💖 might be happening in december if ppl are interested!! 💖
right now i’m just asking around to see how many ppl would be interested in this, so pls reblog/comment/whatever if you are!
how it works, in a nutshell: ppl anonymously prompt things they want to see in fic or art. other people anonymously write the fic or make the art. prompts can be anything from armand/daniel kink to “fake dating mortal au” to “quiet night in at rue royale”. (if you don’t want to be anon, you don’t have to, of course. the anon is to avoid flaming, shaming, and being sued by anne.)
Yassss a VC kinkmeme for December! Should warm up those cold bodies of yours…
the phrase “curiosity killed the cat” is actually not the full phrase it actually is “curiosity killed the cat but satisfaction brought it back” so don’t let anyone tell you not to be a curious little baby okay go and be interested in the world uwu

Blood is thicker than water The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.
Meaning that relationships formed by choice are stronger than those formed by birth.
Let’s not forget that “Jack of all trades, master of none” ends with “But better than a master of one.”
It means that being equally good/average at everything is much better than being perfect at one thing and sucking at everything else. So don’t worry if you’re not perfect at something you do! Being okay is better!
It goes to show that conformity isn’t always a good thing. And that just because more than one person has the same idea, doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a good idea.
what the fuck why haven’t i heard the full version to any of these
“Birds of a feather flock together” ends with “until the cat comes.”
It’s actually a warning about fair-weather friends, not an assessment of how complementary people are.
I’ve always felt like these were cut down on purpose.
I really like these phrases and plan on spreading this knowledge.
The early bird catches the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
I want to make designs out of these.
Funny how all the half-finished ones encourage uniformity and upholding the status-quo, while the complete proverbs encourage like…living exciting, eclectic lives driven by choice and personal passion.
