Paris is Burning by St. Vincent, recommended as being very VC by @queenofthesavagegarden.
#Agreed. This reminds me especially of Lestat’s betrayal in Paris during the trial of Louis & Claudia ;A;
“Enclosed in this letter there’s a picture
Black and white for your refrigerator
Sticks and stones have made me smarter
It’s words that cut me under my armor”
Hey, I saw your post about songs that remind you about VC. The song “Stage 4 Fear of Trying” by Frank Iero andthe Cellabration always reminds me of Lestat and Gabrielle. And even if you don’t get that vibe from the song i still recommend it :)
Oh wow… VERY MUCH AGREED #MY HEART #CRIES FOREVER
“Though I’ve traveled far
I’ve been back to the start
And I found some scars in places I have never shown to anyone
I don’t know why it took so long to get back home”
“#stealing this for my fandom” don’t you think that’s kinda rude when it literally has zero to do with the fandom?
[This Anon is referring to this recent reblogged post]
Valid question! No, I don’t see it as being rude to show appreciation to fanart by reblogging it and tagging it w/ Tumblrand Hyperbole™
as follows:
“#stealing this for my fandom”
That was the tag I came up with when I first started wanting to reblog fanart from other fandoms (or original characters) that could also pass for fanart in our fandom, so that I could keep it separated from the “#fanart” tag I try to keep purely VC. I don’t think I even use it that often.
It’s Tumblrand Hyperbole™ for me to say I’m “stealing” it. I’m not literally stealing anything; when I reblog things like that, I don’t even add visible comments like, “OMG THIS LOOKS LIKE ARMAND” or anything like that, which could be considered kinda rude. When people then reblog it from me, they can add comments and/or tag it however they want (in fact, there are people who do reblog these kinds of posts and original posts from me and add visible comments like, “THIS IS SO [X CHARACTER IN OTHER FANDOM]”) and I don’t mind at all, bc this is a social media platform and people like to add comments to engage w/ others here.
Whatever my tags or reasons for reblogging something, it’s still true that Reblogging gets that fanart more attention than a Like. I’m still promoting that fanartist. Especially when I’m NOT adding any visible commentary that would detract from their artwork.
Side note: I have never received a message from any active fanartist asking me why I tagged one of their works "#stealing this for my fandom,“ and I would happily remove the tag upon request.
What if someone sees the fanart bc I reblogged it and decides to follow that fanartist? The fanartist gains a new follower! Yay! What if that fanartist also offers commissions? I’m advertising their work! And maybe they’ll be willing to draw fanart for our fandom, since the character we would want might be similar to something they’ve already drawn.
There are many similar-looking characters out there, just as there are many similar-looking people out there. Francoise Brunelle did a series of strangers who look like twins. Here’s one example (which I picked bc they’re cute, but there are more identical pairs to choose from) [X]:
There are also websites like https://twinstrangers.net/, and http://www.ilooklikeyou.com/. I’m sure there are more.
TL;DR: What I’m doing when I’m ”#stealing this for my fandom" is actually remarking on the uncanny resemblance that character(s) has to ours. There are plenty of auburn-haired teens in all kinds of media. If I choose to reblog fanart of one of them, it’s out of appreciation and I’m still promoting that fanart.

Book characters that at first make you think “Holy shit this guy is an asshole” and by the end make you think “If anyone touches this person I will destroy them” are the best tbh
honestly interview with the vampire was such a great, beautiful book that was put together so neatly and precisely
and then you open up to the first line of the vampire lestat and you know shit is about to just get wrecked
Apologies if this went through already, tumblr did something weird. Do you know if Tom Cruise was interested in making more VC movies? I heard he wanted to do The Vampire Lestat but couldn’t because of contractual obligations.
He was totally down for it at one point! I don’t have the evidence readily available, but I remember reading articles in which he said he’d read several of the books to prepare for the role, and was very interested in doing a sequel (something he has only done for Mission Impossible, and now, Jack Reacher).
I think at one point he owned the rights to TOBT and that would have incorporated some of TVL.
I don’t think what ruined it was contractual obligations, it was more about the homophobic backlash, despite how successful IWTV was. Plus, making a movie takes a whole team. It probably got mired in development hell, which is what held up the IWTV movie for some 20 years.
Whatever the case, I think Tom should be involved w/ casting Lestat, and then Tom should train them, or at least write out a Lestatiquette manual bc he nailed it.
