“iam-yourqueen has made me look at Akasha in a different light. Before reading her RPs she was simply a maniacal tyrant, hellbent on destruction. Now I see her as a nuanced woman with flaws; with depth and such humanity. She is more than the maddened queen, but a vampire, just like all the others, trying to find her place in the 21st Century.”
In the future can we please just agree as a fandom to keep issues that could be easily handled privately private?
There was an issue with this recently that caused someone to leave the community. Calling another writer out in a public display of personal unhappiness doesn’t strengthen this fandom – it weakens it and causes those writers already at their limit to question whether the Tumblr community is even worth continuing with. No one deserves to be made a public spectacle.
If you have issues, take it to that individual in their askbox. That’s what they are there for. Resolving issues on a one on one basis seems a far better solution than throwing anyone else under the bus for everyone else to see. That makes things highly uncomfortable for those of us not involved in the situations.
This has become a disconcerting habit in this fandom lately and I am only speaking up to make an appeal that it please stop. Everyone is free to have a differing opinion, of course. I normally tend to be quiet about these things but this trend is maddening to see and uncomfortable to be exposed to.
“devilsfool is one of my favorite rpers on tumblr, sassy, sinister and exceedingly irresistible love the posts and I especially love the interactions with merciful-death.
devilsfool.tumblr.com
merciful-death.tumblr.com”
ooc; devilsfool was amazing. I’ve RPed with many people throughout the three years I’ve been roleplaying Louis on Tumblr, and I can honestly say that devilsfool was one of the most effortless people to RP with. We “clicked” very well in our writing. We shared many of the same headcanons and I always looked forward to seeing them on the dash, or getting asks from them. They’re such a sweetie OOC as well. I’m still very, very sad that they’re not on Tumblr anymore.
Thank you to the person who submitted this for your kind words. ❤ I’m glad you enjoyed our RPs.
12-year-old Kirsten Dunst was made to look 5 years old in IWTV and technology has advanced so much since then so there is no excuse for Tom Cruise not to be Lestat again.
Marius: “To be godless is probably the first step to innocence, to lose the sense of sin and subordination, the false grief for things supposed to be lost.” Lestat:“So by innocence you mean not an absence of experience, but an absence of illusions.” Marius:“An absence of need for illusions. A love of and respect for what is right before your eyes.”
//Sooo on my very stressful and not fun at all vacation I re-read Interview and TVL. I started QotD as well, but only got as far as Jesse’s introduction. Out of the series so far QotD remains my favorite. It’s masterfully put together, with each chapter/section the perfect length, all the while building proper suspense. It does perfectly what PL failed at, which is what disappoints me more about PL than any plot point.
As I read I highlighted passages [*pets my Kindle*] I found interesting/enlightening, especially since I’ve read all the VC books now and have 20/20 hindsight. Putting this under a read-more to save your dash.
I tend to blame Anne for the internalised misogyny (and she has copped to it herself), but I also find it canonically explicable (because I always have this urge to explain annoying canon things rather than disregard them) – I can see Marius (coming from the culture that he does, and having had only brothers, and being very insightful in some ways but really fucking stupid in others) being the kind of clueless misogynist who tells the women he loves that they’re “not like the other girls” and doesn’t grasp how insulting that is.
And god, I would kill for first-person POV books or even fucking sections for Gabrielle and Bianca. She’s at least shown she can still write Gabrielle, and Bianca was one of many characters brought back in PL, but with very little done with her. I’m not holding my breath for it to happen (’least expectations, least disappointment’ seems a good rule of thumb), but it’s a massive hole in the series, to my mind.
“sheepskeleton’s art is a miracle. Her interpretations of the VC characters capture not only their physical features perfectly, but their essence of who they truly are. Each drawing of hers makes my day, and I cannot wait to see what the future holds for her art.”
oh my sweet pagan gods of the Roman pantheon!!! Let me love you, whoever sent this! awwwww I can’t, this is so inceredibly nice! ❤ Thank you so so so much! This fandom is impossible! I’m so glad my art is important for someone ^.^ And it makes me so happy that you think that I’m somehow able to capture these beautiful, complex characters in my imperfect drawings :*
“vagabonddaniel is such a delight. They have a great sense of humor and are an excellent writer. Seeing them on the dashboard, especially their material with damnitarmand, always brightens my day.”
//ZOMG. I am very flattered and very possibly blushing but you cannot see that so why did I say that. I never know how to cope with these kinds of compliments. Thank you so much! I really appreciate it.
And writing with damnitarmand is a pleasure and privilege, always. Writing with everyone here on tumblr has been an absolute joy. Thanks to the VC tumblr community for being so welcoming and awesome. (Now it sounds like I’m trying to accept an award or something. Oi.)
