First of all I wanted to say your blog is my favourite blog on tumblr, and I find your posts to be hilarious. But let’s get to the question. What book do you think is the best VC book and what book do you think is the worst/most disappointing VC book? I want to read all the VC books. I’m currently reading MTD (which I don’t really like) and I wondered what your favourite book in the series is and which you liked the least. As for myself, I can’t choose between IWTV or TVL being my favourite.

omg mine is your favorite? *flails* Thank u! If u love this blog, u love the VC fandom by default.

My fave VC changes over time. When I first started, I was definitely more IWTV, I identified with Claudia, and then Louis. It wasn’t until later that I switched over to Team Lestat. Claudia is very nearly the biological daughter he probably would have had deserved, in a mortal Lestat AU!

When I reread the books now, I see different things than before, now that I’m older. I can see the parenting perspective better now, for example. 

I feel like someone just asked me my fave recently and I think I said TVL, bc it’s the one that’s stood the test of time the most for me, probably.

Least favorite also changes over time. I’m a very generous person tho, I can find beauty and salvage elements/quotes/scenes from books, movies, etc, that I otherwise don’t like as a whole. Same is true for VC. Lots of gems tossed in amongst the later canon that you’ll only really appreciate if you excavate them yourself ;]

I wouldn’t call it disappointing per se, but I admit that I didn’t really enjoy Blackwood Farm, I’d say that was my least favorite, consistently. It’s almost a stand-alone novel. Probably the reason I don’t like it as much is bc it’s almost a stand-alone novel.

“The rest of the comic is an interesting look at the French Quarter of New Orleans, but mostly it is a chance for Ennis to parody the Anne Rice style of vampires by contrasting them with his vampire, Cassidy…

The result is some strong parody work (although I thought that the Neil Gaiman jabs were a bit much – I’ll feature them as a Meta-Message very soon) and really, a compelling story about what happens when you, for lack of a better phrase, “buy into your own hype,” as the other vampire gets into the idea of being a vampire far more than he should.

based on the assumption that human blood can survive in a vampire for about the same amount of time it can in a human body, vampires would only need to feed three or four times a year (red blood cells live about 110 days on average). this would be if they completely drained all their victims.

humans can survive losing up to about 40% of their blood, which means that a vampire pushing their limits with each victim would probably need to feed 12 times a year minimum

so like once a month

Hey guess what else happens once a month involving blood

omg no

Now that’s recycling

“Actually, period blood would be really good for a vampire; it’s incredibly nutritious, because it’s supposed to feed a foetus! And it’s probably the cleanest blood in the human body. It’s sterile.” My wife contributed.

This is an actual scene in Memnoch the Devil by Anne Rice. Lestat earns his red wings; everybody comes away happy.

If I want to be selective, or semi-selective, do I need to make a list of people who I want to (or usually) roleplay with? What if that person (or everyone) doesn’t want to be in the list?

{{I should be answering this privately, but can’t, bc you’re on anon. I do know some things about RP, but I am in no way an authority on it. Ask a few RPers for their definitions. Anyone can reblog this and add their comments, too.}}

One thing is for sure: Don’t make a public list of people you plan to RP with. It can make the not-listed people feel left out and can lead to you getting anonhate. You can do what you like privately, of course! Make all the lists you want privately. 

Now, it’s fine to make a tag list AFTER you have been RPing and have multiple muse interactions, it’s a nice way to organize your threads and give your readers/followers a way to look on your blog for certain interactions ;]

“selective” means that you only RP with mutuals (ppl who you follow & who also follow you).

“semi-selective” means you RP mainly with mutuals, but are open to others on a case-by-case basis. 

In my blog’s description I have: “Sometimes a selective Ask blog” which I wrote before I knew the fandom definition of “selective.” I was/am using that in the normal context of the word, meaning that I will sometimes answer things as my muse RP, if it feels appropriate.  

How would you describe IWTV to someone who has not read the book or seen the movie?

(I struggle to describe it to ppl, I usually cater the length and depth of my description based on my audience, for example, to describe it to my 7 yr old cousin (who loves vampires and was a vampire princess fairy for Halloween): “It’s mostly about a happy vampire family with 2 dads, and they don’t always get along with eachother or the world.”)

As Tom Cruise put it so eloquently, “The movie is not for everyone.” No value judgement there; it’s just not everyone’s cup of tea, so I don’t try to sell it. 

I will try to describe the story in the language of tumblrland:

“How would you describe IWTV to someone who has not read the book…?”

You can also try my vc synopsis tag, but there be spoilers there!

….That last gif is also tribute to antoineandthepiano who loves that gif! And it’s appropriate here, bc if I think the person might actually like it, I do tell them to #READ THE BOOK in the hopes that I can make them one of us ❤

Teachers VC characters would be:

Leave a comment

Akasha: That one math teacher who leaves homework everyday.

Louis: The philosophy teacher who always talks about his imperfect private life in class.

Marius: The art teacher who is actually too concentrated in his own art than in teaching.

Lestat: The ethics teacher that’s actually really bad in ethics and was hired because there wasn’t another option.

Nicolas: probably the music teacher that leaves students with their mouth opened. He doesn’t teach. He just plays the violin in class.

Enkil: The politics teacher that gets way too into the subject and frightens his students

Madeleine: The home ec teacher who changes the lesson based on her mood and probably has some wine in her water bottle.

Daniel: Auto Shop Class. He’ll play classic rock and swears while he teaches. Gives better sex advice than Sex Ed class.

Santino: The History teacher that starts rambling about Middle Age and Renaissance , speaks about young ladies with rich bossoms , princes with cool buttocks , witches, vampires, pires and fire
