well, that’s awesome…
awww ok :( thanks for answering anyway. and there’s no ebay for my country and international country’s ebays have shipping that can be up to $100, even if a friend shipped they would pay similar costs because my country does not like things going in and out. New Zealand and England? haha I wish i lived somewhere as nice and safe lol
I’m sorry that it’s hard for you to get the VC books 😦
But again, and I don’t know about your internet connection, but here in the US it’s pretty easy to find VC online by googling for the pdfs.
What about libraries in your country? Sometimes you can ask your library to bring in books.
I get that shipping is expensive. I actually did a giveaway post where I offered to ship a few VC out as prizes, which I bought at a library book sale for like $1-$2 each, and I still intend to ship them out. Message me off-anon and let’s see if we can work something out.
BTW, if anyone is interested in shipping their unwanted VC book(s) out to someone in a foreign country who really wants to read them, as a show of VC fandom solidarity, message me!
Sometimes I hate that I love Lestat
Because the Lestat I love isn’t the one Anne’s interested in writing. The Lestat I love isn’t an infallible, untouchable prince whom everyone falls in love with at first sight. He’s a fuckup who never stops trying.
I love the Lestat who came out of an abusive home and still wanted desperately that there was good in the world, and that he could be a good person. Who wanted to make people happy and who was desperately in love with his depressed as fuck proto-hipster boyfriend. Who lived as a queer man without shame.
I love the Lestat who had panic attacks about death and the unknowable enormity of the universe.
I love the Lestat who was a victim and a survivor, who was moved not to exert his power over others but make sure they didn’t suffer like he had.
I love the Lestat who tried to take care of his loved ones even when he was spectacularly bad at it, who wore his heart sincerely on his sleeve and lived in terror of his loved ones throwing him away because they didn’t need him anymore.
I rooted for the Lestat who realized the enormity of the wrongs he did to Louis by keeping him ignorant and by indulging his need to be needed. I loved the Lestat who was willing to show all of his fears and his fuckups in print, when his whole life had been dedicated to pretending he was untouchable, just to apologize to the man he loved.
I loved a Lestat who was allowed to be wrong, to be punished, to be humbled and rejected and keep going. Whose bravado and bluster was a cover for a sincere heart, not a hard and empty shell. The Lestat I love isn’t a rapist, an autocrat, a power hungry monster. He had countless flaws, but he was meant to fix them, not wait around for the universe to concoct a reason why his bad behavior and disregard for others’ agency is okay.
I don’t know where that Lestat went. But I miss him.

Present for @i-want-my-iwtv as a thank you for casually ruining my life with a single post. Terrible edits but the look works, doesn’t it…
Look it’s a Fassbender!Marius! thank u @weweremadeforeachothersherlock!
But the blame for ruining your life should really be directed, at least partially, to @sheepskeleton, who suggested it to me first! ;D
[X another Fassbender!Marius by @sheepskeleton, hit the X for larger vers.]

Do you know if there’s a place to read the vampire chronicles online?? I only ask because I can’t find a site that ships the books to my country :(
I’m sorry, but sharing links to books for free online is illegal and my blog could get shut down for doing that 😛 so I’m asking that no one reblog this with links like that.
HOWEVER: I have done the google and found all of the VC (except PL and PLROA) illegally uploaded as pdfs, they’re not that hard to find. The problem with those pdfs is that the formatting is often wonky and there are misspellings, which can lead to misunderstanding the text.
You could also buy them on eBay, right? Someone must be willing to ship to your country.
Or make a friend who has access and is willing to ship to your country, you can work out some kind of payment situation with them. I’ve shipped books as gifts to friends in New Zealand and England.
On the subject of Vampire’s getting sick. In the Sookie Stackhouse Novels (True Blood) The Vampires can get sick from a strain of Hepatitis, ‘Hep V’ this can make them immensely sick and weak and takes quite a while for them to recover (I think it’s also possible for them to waste away from it completely)
Oh wow, thanks for the info! Idk if I prefer vampires being vulnerable to diseases like this or not… how do other ppl feel about this?
“This is like
Claudia asked Lestat to help her get bewbs
and he did!”
How would Lestat and Louis enjoy Amadeus?
Gosh I haven’t seen the movie Amadeus
in aaaaages (that’s what you mean, right? I haven’t seen the play), but I think Lestat would LOVE it. Both the movie and the play versions.
There is some similarity here… these two fashionable idiots who seem to succeed at everything despite breaking the rules to do it! I think Lestat would dig the aesthetics of the movie, the fashion, the music… I think he’d jab Louis in the elbow whenever Salieri gets pissy about pretty much everything Mozart does ;D
Louis might not admit it but he’d enjoy it for some of the same reasons.
