Even for me, it was such a gift to find the VC fandom action here! You’re right, this fandom is hard to find, for a reason: we had to hide from certain ppl for so long, since we apparently weren’t engaging w/ canon in an acceptable way. BUT WE’RE HERE NOW, times are different, we can all live and let live, ship and let ship, and coexist in peeeeace!
So I run the blog I would have wanted to find when I was first looking for the VC fandom ages ago, and I’m honored to provide it for you all now ❤
Thank u! (technically mines was 3/16)(BUT IT STILL COUNTS)(close enough) let us enjoy the Hiddles’ Snake Hips for our close-enough shared birthday:
^And this is relevant to VC bc he has been mentioned in VC casting discussion here in tumblrland, and he’s already played a vampire, but why not another one?
“Oh my Dior”? Like the fashion company? LOL that is so Lestatuesque, to say that instead of “OMG”. Thank u so much my dear! You are one of my Official Facebook Agents, keeping your eye out for any VC droplets to send me which I appreciate bc YES I AM ADDICTED TO THIS MESS and I’m so so glad that I can acquire it and deal it back out to my other fanged little trash kitten addicts ^,….,^
*Technically you’re not late, bc when a birthday falls on a weekday, you are entitled to celebrate it on the weekend before AND after, that’s just the rules ;D
Yes, she is “like Lestat’s adopted daughter or something.” That’s probably the best description of her!
^She looks smtg like this: Flora and the Zephyrs [detail] by John William Waterhouse. [X]
My headcanon for kid!Rose:
^This smile, this is what Uncle Lestan would do just about anything for! Perform whole soliloquys while doing handstands, pretend the floor is lava, make silly noises, funny faces, anything. ❤ (This has nothing to do w/ her being Tom Cruise’s daughter; really! Physically, she’s my kid!Rose headcanon)
Spoilers ahead.
I don’t remember her childhood story too well, tagging @roselioncourt for that, but I think it was a rough childhood before she was rescued? I pictured her as unhealthfully slender during that time. Lestat rescued her and brought her to live with her new parental figures (two ladies, her “Aunts,” not sure whether they were also romantically involved w/ each other), and he checked in on her every so often, paid for everything, bc he is a philanthropist and loves kids.
Rose knew him as “Uncle Lestan” until her crappy professor boyfriend informed her of the VC, and exploded at her w/ an unnecessary amount of rage bc he thought she was making it up that she considered Lestat to not only be TOTES REAL but basically her loving benefactor! HOW DARE SHE SUUGEST SUCH A THING. Why couldn’t she just be a sexual object for her possessive boyfriend, and only speak to agree with or flatter him?? HOW DARE SHE be a person with her own life and backstory?? Pffft. <– sarcasm.
ANYWAY she and Lestat’s biological son end up growing close for shared connection to Lestat, and bc our series needed a het YA Twilight couple apparently. Eventually she becomes Lestat’s “real” daughter when her Dark Gift reception is poor and he has to step in and perform it properly bc of course he had to do it himself, “if you want smtg done right, gotta do it yourself.”
It’s the *~quality~* of the masses of my adoring fans that is so heartwarming and sweet and just… what is a curator of a museum w/o makers & appreciators of fine art? What is an actor w/o an audience? I collect and share, you all enjoy it, it’s a symbiotic relationship ❤
[X] ^I’ve always loved this moment in the movie, bc you can tell she is a quality Parisian lady, she can see beyond the grotesquerie, that there’s beauty in the breakdown.
