I really really like late 18th century waistcoats. Especially the 1790′s ones with the little lapels and straight waistlines, so here’s a photoset of some of my favourite ones. (And here’s a link to my pinterest board with more of them.)

1. Silk waistcoat c. 1790, Centraal Museum
2. Silk waistcoat with woven stripe pattern, c. 1790, Centraal Museum
3. Embroidered silk waistcoat, 1790′s, The Met
4. Embroidered silk waistcoat c. 1797-1801, Museo del Traje
5. Embroidered silk waistcoat c. 1787-89, The Met
6. Embroidered silk waistcoat c. 1785-95, Cooper Hewitt
7. Silk waistcoat with knotted net overlay, c. 1895, Cooper Hewitt
8.  Linen canvas waistcoat with silk needlepoint and silk plush trim, c. 1789-94, LACMA

//Oohoho. Just finished Ch 8. THE PLOT THICKENS! But seriously tho I’m enjoying this so much, so many wonderful details. You guys are doing a gr8 job. I always thought this was one of the very few fandoms where you COULDN’T make a coffee shop AU work, but… it’s working!! (Loving the angst too. Even in a coffee shop AU, these idiot boys manage to fuck everything up, lmao.)

@wicked-felina and I are trying to include as many canon-compliant details as we can (hello Armand flirting w/ the blender, lol), and I personally have to satisfy my RL best friend who is a coffee aficionado (gotta prove to her that we know wtf we’re writing about, lol)… We’re using most of the ideas we come up with but we do have some spin-off chapters that may come later when the fic is finished.

…Psssst we would also love fanart of any of it, if anyone is so inspired…

I didn’t think a coffee shop AU was possible for VC either, but yes, from all the lovely comments we’ve been getting on it, it is working ^______^ 

(Loving the angst too. Even in a coffee shop AU, these idiot boys manage to fuck everything up, lmao.)

^This is why it’s working, bc we’re absolutely devoted to keeping them as IC as possible. Some canon-diversion has been necessary, and being AU, it’s naturally got a more comical bent, but yeah… we’re trying to keep them IC ;D

We love this pile of dysfunctional vampires hipsters.

hi hi hi, I don’t exactly have a question but I just wanted to drop in real quick and compliment this coffee shop AU ;u; I’m new to this fandom and it’s sad to see so little fan activity, but this little gem is just so precious and makes up for it; it’s uplifting to see it regularly updated and cared about and I just wanted to (immensely) thank you for writing about these drama queens~ <3

Welcome to our little corner of tumblrand, and mon dieu, a compliment like this is pure gold. PURE GOLD. As is our AU! Pure gold ;D

[X @yallpacino: when you find a really good alternative universe fanfiction]

If you love our Signature Blend, @wicked-felina also has another great VC AU (WIP) you should check out, The Grim Brothers. It’s a “VC take on Red Riding Hood,” as heartfelt and fun as our AU, it was one of the first AUs I really loved ❤

Hit the jump for more, cut for length.

Keep reading

What a lovely thing to say! Thank you ❤

This fandom has some real life in it lately, and I would urge you to use the links provided above, but also check out some of the absolutely amazing meta we have seen from various people here on Tumblr, especially that of vraik and anton-mordrid. Check out the fics, too, and also I would recommend @monstersinthecosmos‘s fantastic fic.

I flit back and forth between this fandom (my first real fandom!) and Breaking Bad but this burst of energy and enthusiasm of late has sucked me right back in, dammit.

I’m thrilled you like the fic. You really don’t know what it means to know that people are enjoying reading it, and that you appreciate it. It makes it worthwhile.

^Ah yes, the meta, too! Thanks for adding that. I’m tagging that as #Deep Cuts of VC Analysis.

And yessss go read @monstersinthecosmos‘s fic! I’m really enjoying In the Trials of the Heart ❤

“and it’s sad to see so little fan activity,”

Yeah, the war on fanfic crushed us in the 90′s + AR’s war on her fandom (and critics in general) in the early 2000′s drove us all underground, and only recently are things picking back up. We are making fanworks tho, you can check out our recent blast of them from our @vcsecretgifts exchange, the #2016 VC Secret Santa… and also:

“but this little gem is just so precious and makes up for it; it’s uplifting to see it regularly updated and cared about and I just wanted to (immensely) thank you for writing about these drama queens~ <3″

Merciiiii! We are loving writing it, too, some of the scenes, it’s as if we’re right there with them, witnessing the drama firsthand. I’m not sure I can let @wicked-felina go back to writing her solo stuff too soon after this is finished…

This black flamingo was spotted in Cyprus. It is just the second black flamingo ever seen. The first one was seen in Israel in 2014 but experts believe they may be the same bird, meaning that only one black flamingo has ever been seen. The black flamingo is affected with melanism, which is a condition caused by an overproduction of melanin, darkening the skin. An animal with melanism is a very rare sight.

@necrodruidlife idea
@i-want-my-iwtv request…
Yeah… I love au related stuff… Expecially with my favorite vamps.

AAAAHHHH this is WONDERFUL this fandom is so good and so pure, thank you for illustrating the ridiculous coffeeshop AU idea. I will totally write something for this (after I finish my VC secret santa thing). I love both their attitudes and how Lestat is surrounded by a bubble of incomprehensible pet names/low key come ons and I am 1000% sure this is how Lestat appears to Louis at all times. All times.

PS: YOU ARE THE BEST
