[X] Well there’s fighting, which usually is not part of a porno? There’s a lot of pain and misery on its way to balance out all that smut ;]
After the second journey, [Marius] came home weary and uncommonly sad. He said, as he
had said once before, that “Those Who Must Be Kept” seemed to be at peace.
“I hate it what these creatures are!” I said.
“No, never say such a thing to me, Amadeo!” he burst out. In a flash I’d seen him
more angry and uncomposed than ever in our lives. I’m not sure I’d ever seen him
really angry in our lives.
He approached me and I shrank back, actually afraid. But by the time he struck me,
hard across the face, he’d recovered himself, and it was just the usual brain-jarring
blow.
I accepted it, and then threw him one exasperated searing glance. “You act like a
child,” I said, “a child playing Master, and so I must master my feelings and put up
with this.“
Of course it took all my reserves to say this, especially when my head was swimming,
and I made my face such an obdurate mask of contempt that suddenly he burst out
laughing.
I started to laugh too.
^Could they have really lasted as a ship if not for what separated them? Idk really but they are like many VC ships, beautiful and
Awww merci beaucoup! I’m stuck in this fandom for life *laughcries* Your English is good enough, I understood your message ^_____^
The VC fandom is not so small as everyone thought it was! It was in hiding, and now we’re all coming out, and there’s all this fresh blood bc of the new books and the new movie adaptations and hopefully they will be a lot more true to the canon than movie!QOTD WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE!
Some VC Advertising for you and your blog, in connection to our yesterday’s conversation.
This here is all your doing.
No regrets.
This means SO MUCH to me ❤ I love it when my blog inspires ppl to buy/read/watch more VC. Filed under: #Free VC Advertising/ #VC Free Advertising You guys, new tag for this: #my shelfie. I want to see your VC section on your bookshelves. Tell me if this blog (or any other!) inspired you to add to it *u*
Seeing the series all lined up like that, it’s like seeing old friends, in such spiffy new covers, no less! Lestat would be impressed that they’re all in such good condition.
OMG A JEWELRY PERSON! [re: Lestat’s thumb ring] This was exactly what I was hoping for, that a jewelry person would see that post! I want to take hot jewelry classes so bad omg
(I can do coldworking w/ beads and wire, might try to sell those here at some point).
It could be done with moldmaking. You’d make a master ring with all the filligree detail (tbh idk how filligree is applied) and then cast copies of it in an affordable but durable metal. Maybe mine isn’t pewter, that’s what I thought it was, like those little figurines you get at Renaissance Faires… (like the dragon here) but if pewter is strong, then mine might not be pewter bc it has at least one hairline crack in it as you can seeee 😛
Yes, keep it in mind for next year’s workshop, message me privately, I could help come up w/ a design that might be easier to make. Like I said, I headcanon that Lestat has a lot of these, so it doesn’t need to be identical to the one in the movie ^______^
♛Bon soir, mademoiselle…. How jealous am I of your upcoming theatre soirée? It is the appetizer for the actual performance you’re part of, so in a word: Very.I miss the stage. I ache for the spotlights! I miss being part of a cast, and all the bonding and trusting that go along with it.
I’ll tell you what I told Louis all those years ago, as obvious as it sounds, it must be said: Don’t overthink things. He really did for a long time there, focusing on the mechanics of interactions and trying to come prepared with lines *hand waves* it was all totally unnecessary. Most people are already in a convivial enough mood at these gatherings, more so if they’re given enough sugar or alcohol, all you need do is go with the flow.
This must also be said: Please do not wear jeans. Even if everyone else is. You will stand out as taking it all a little more seriously in a skirt, dress, or really, anything other than jeans. What, are we all farmhands now? I look down the street and I see all these torn jeans, people pay extra for them to be “pre-distressed.” Please.
(Alright, I buy them like that, too, but I have to blend in! It’s part of the costume to fit in with you people.)
And if you find yourself not engaged in conversation with anyone, that’s fine. It’s sometimes to my benefit to withdraw from these groups to recharge for a moment (to grab a quick drink, you know…).
With the ‘exuding confidence’ part, since you are a practitioner of the theatre, here are a few points that helped me in the beginning:
Walk as if you are leaving melted gold wherever you go. Touch things, like your glass, as if your hands have the same effect. Gently but with intention. Focus your energy and attention on whoever you’re with, but know that you are glowing, even when you are simply listening. Theatre people love to talk, so just listening can have a lot of impact on them.
It’s always good to attend these gatherings with someone you are already close to, I do love dragging Louis or David around with me, but don’t tie yourself down to them. You can break away from them and then rejoin them throughout the evening.
Find something to compliment one of these new cast members on; jewelry is a good thing, people usually have stories attached to those items. Or a piercing that you find intriguing! Ask if it hurt, they’ll probably give you their reason for doing it, too.
If you follow that advice, it won’t fail to be a fun experience.
Gather stories from the new cast members.
Treat it like a kind of performance, is what I’m saying!
