hello! how are you? i absolutely loove your blog! i’m kinda new to the fandom, so if you don’t mind, can you recommend me some vampire chronicles blogs you like?
Merci beaucoup! I’m good. Glad you asked this bc I haven’t done one of these in a year.
Welcome to our little corner of tumblrland, as I always say. Good to have fresh blood, pun intended of course.

ASK AND YE SHALL RECEIVE

Some ppl post IWTV or QOTD pics/gifsets or aesthetic posts, some ppl will post meta about VC and other fandoms, but I think the only other exclusively VC blogs (or as close as possible, as mine aims to be) are @vampire-chronicles-appreciation and @vampchronfic.
(The lists below are updated a little from a post I made about this a year ago, so some may be inactive now, but their archives might lead you to active ppl.)

Here are some blogs that reblog a bunch of IWTV stuff. i’m not sure about the others, but the first two make gifsets, sometimes photosets, text posts etc 🙂
honestly i dont even play an active role in my life shit just happens and im like oh is this what we’re doing now ok [X]
Ah, Louis. I have claustrophobia as well. So instead I sleep in a moselieum.
♠I no longer have the issue with enclosed spaces as I once did, it was a vestigial fear from my past, but one of the things that helped me at that time was focusing on something else, even a small object like a ring or buttons could help reduce my anxiety.
Mausoleums can vary greatly in size, but the ones I am most familiar with are the small structures we had in New Orleans where members of my family are buried. The angel statue here was my mother’s idea, she always adored angels.
Do you follow @therealtonheukels on instagram? I think it’s either Lestat or his son
Lestat and his son would both have an IG, and would get really annoyed when ppl confuse them (since they look so similar). Lestat maintains that his Insta is much classier with much better fashion, whereas Viktor’s in his greasy, sorta drug addict, grunge posing stage.
I don’t do IG, but Ton Heukels is chosen now and then as a Lestat RP face claim.
@lestatdelight-archive uses him ;]
[X]
He could probably make a good Lestat or Viktor.
I read the first three books, can I go right into Prince Lestat or is there more I need to know? (I read the synopsis for every book; because I have some sensitivities to certain topics, such as the first part of the Vampire Armand). I heard that Prince Lestat is a stand alone, and the inside hook indicates such. If I could I would read the entire series but due to triggers and my eight hour school day I don’t have the time. Sorry to rant, I just want to know what’s what
Sure, go on to PL! I hope you have more of an appreciation for the main characters since you know their background. I sympathize with your time constraints.
Prince Lestat CAN be considered a stand alone, AR said herself it can be treated like that. It’s just so stand alone that I consider it very Alternate Universe. You’ll see what I mean.
*sigh* It’s so strange that ppl want to rush to PL, but I guess it’s bc it’s the currently newest VC and the upcoming book is a sequel to it.
As far as triggering elements, there are some in PL. I won’t spoil you directly but I’ll just toss in some questionnable categories of things I remember being in PL (this is not all-inclusive, I may have forgotten a few bc I read it almost 2 years ago and I can’t read it again yet):
- An emotionally abusive relationship between a female college student and a male adult authority figure
- Other abuse of that female college student that she suffered as a child (not sexual but physical and emotional)
- Body horror (sort of?)
- Gorey moments (one involving a few amputations, one involving brains, some murder bc VAMPIRES)
- Lestat in a non-consensual blood-related attack moment (but he doesn’t get away with it unpunished)
- Weird ghost-related happenings
- Arson (*cough* Louis *cough*)
- Drug-addicted parent (briefly)
- Vampires & Science
- A sexual situation involving Vampires & Science
- A choir of underaged boy vampires
ALRIGHT I saw a tutorial on blood going around earlier and it was just sooo abbreviated that it made me kind of peeved so I set out to give what little blood knowledge to the test to make a slightly more robust tutorial. (Credentials drawing? 4 years of art school plus like 16 as a hobbyist. Credentials with blood? I liked watching Dexter once and I have a period.)
OTHER THINGS FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION:
- Drawing from reference is your friend! If you can find life references to go from, fucking GO HAM. Study the shit out of that, the best way to mimic something is to watch it in action. This was put together very quickly but I made sure to do a couple google image searches while I was doing this to see if I was getting the right ideas. This still isn’t perfect. I’m not perfect, I can be wrong!
- ALSO: Do yourself a favor and look up stuff about Blood Pattern Analysis, I found This PDF while fact-checking and that gives a good overview of the basics, though you can probably find even more extensive information with a good google search. Forensic scientists use this all the time as a crime-solving tool and you bet your hiney there’s gonna be resources out there documenting the information. These make handy reference tools!
- Menstrual blood was added for educational purposes, I don’t know if you’d necessarily be DRAWING it but if you have a period, it might be something you see regularly and might want to observe. In that case, I tried to document what’d make the composition different because it IS pretty different than blood coming from the rest of the body, if only because it’s usually seen with tissue or other fluid.
- Please fullview these if you have trouble reading my handwriting i tried to do these at a high-resolution for that reason
