(Well, ha surprise! Here’s a mix that’s a sort of sequel to this one. Only this mix is slightly less depressing & pretty much a chronological order of their relationship from first look to falling apart.)
Oh gosh, I made this design for a concert tee as a gift for my sister ages ago and never actually made a shirt with it for us.
But then whilst doing laundry I found a white t-shirt (that I probably bought for this very purpose) and was like, welp, now I have to. So I printed the transfer and then cut off the sleeves because I’m me.
[I don’t know the current SJW definition of the word “problematic” so I’m going with what the dictionary explains, which is smtg “constituting or presenting a problem or difficulty.”]
So AR had commented thusly on her FB, 2014 (might be a different year):
It’s true that she used to attack fanfic authors, there was a war on fanfic in the ‘90s…
…but currently she seems to ignore it. Huzzah, right? I think so!
I can’t recall her having an issue with RPers. Not sure why, but maybe she doesn’t see RP as being fanfiction in that it’s a series of responses. There are fics and published works that write from different characters’ POV (Queen of the Damned did that, for example) but seem to devote whole chapters to each POV.
We had a situation recently in which a VC RPer was sent what we now consider to have been Anon-hate that was written to look like a real Cease & Desist letter (which is what we get when AR wants our grubby hands off her precious bbs). We believe it was a particularly cruel way to send Anon-hate.
So I think you’re clear, no problems. Go RP!
However, your friend may have other reservations about RPing, too. There are a lot of things to consider, among which:
Are you over 18?
Are you willing to RP with people under 18?
Are you willing to RP smut and R-rated scenes?
Are you willing to RP with OC’s and other fandoms?
Are you willing to RP AU?
Is your muse a canon or original
character?
Is your muse multi-ship (can have more than one relationship at a time in different threads)?
But also, picture Lestat saying this to Louis as they’re cuddled up together:
Lestat: “Everything about you makes me happy!”
Louis: *smiles* “That’s so sweet of you.”
Lestat: “Everything except when you burn my stuff,”
Louis: “…”
Lestat: “…and when you cut your hair, and wear ragged clothes, when you lie about me to the press, and when you try to kill me, for whatever reason, and when you date my arch-nemesis-”
THAT KIND OF REVIEW IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS HOPING THAT MOVIE WOULD GET AND IT MEANS EVEN MORE COMING FROM YOU (ONE OF MY TOP GOTH LIT/MEDIA SENPAIS) I AM SO PSYCHED!
YOU’RE ONE OF MY GOTH LIT/MEDIA SENPAI THOUGH SO I CAN’T BE YOURS!!!!
BUT OH MY GOSH. IT HAS THE SAME ELEMENTS OF THE WITCHING HOUR BUT SET WITH A LOT MORE OF A IWTV TONE, AND A PANDORA VOICE. IF THAT EVEN MAKES SENSE.
ITS CAMPY AND RIDICULOUS AND MAKES LITTLE SENSE BUT ITS THE MOST VICTORIAN GOTH THING I’VE SEEN IN A LONG TIME
WE CAN ABSOLUTELY BE – WE ALREADY ARE – MUTUAL SENPAIS WHY THE FRACK NOT?!
In actuality, you really do know Goth lit/media much more thoroughly than I do but I am definitely more entrenched in vampire lit/media, which is really kind of a branch of Goth, sooooo… WE EXIST ON THE SAME TREE OF DARKNESS
I SHALL WATCH THE PEAK OF CRIMSON THIS WEEKEND AND LESTAT AND I WILL SHARE OUR OPINIONS OF IT TOGETHER, WILL INFORM YA.
IT’S WITCHING HOUR + CAMPY + RIDICULOUS + VICTORIAN GOTH + IWTV TONED + PANDORA VOICED? YOU HAD MY CURIOSITY BUT NOW YOU HAVE MY ATTENTION.
THO REALLY YOU HAD ME AT “FUCKED UP ENOUGH FOR ANNE RICE TO HAVE WRITTEN IT.” ;D
“Death for me, has never been a game. Never some quick, forgettable thing of the world. Death had been all I had known. Everyone and everything I brought myself to love was snatched away. I swore death itself must’ve had a fixation upon everything I cared for and when it got its golden opportunity is when it finally struck with a violent disaster and I was left to mourn in its ruin. All of its wreckage and remains of destruction was all I was left with. I didn’t understand the meaning of it at all…”
Independent Louis de Pointe du Lac from Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles.
