Hello and happy halloween for you! :) I was wondering if you could point me to vampire chronicles’ fanart blogs, where I can submit what I do? Also, it would be great to know other VC artists! Thank you very much, I hope you have a great weekend <3

Thank you, Happy Halloween to you, as well ^_______^

[^Is that anime?]

In one sense you came to the right place, as this blog accepts submitted VC fanart… so far I’ve posted anything submitted, but I gotta say, the amount of notes on a post are NOT the only measure of good fanart! It can be very subjective. 

I admit that I am very selective about the fanart I reblog, it has to be well-drawn/rendered or funny. Both is good, too! 

Like this blog, @vampire-chronicles-appreciation​ also reblogs VC fanart.

But to answer your question specifically, unfortunately I don’t know of any specifically VC fanart blogs where ppl are encouraged to submit their fanart. 

We have many fanartists in the fandom who draw their own art, other fandom fanart, or primarily VC fanart on their own blogs and they tag the VC stuff as #vc, #vampire chronicles, #the vampire chronicles, #iwtv, #interview with the vampire, or whichever character(s) is/are in it, and people who track those tags will find those posts! So that’s one way you can do it on your own blog.

If you want to find a pile of VC fanart posts, try my #fanart tag, and #vc fandom hunters. After almost 2.5 years, there’s a ton of fanart! Some of it’s from outside Tumblrland, some fanart is other vampire media, some blogs may be inactive by now, but at least I’ve got a good chunk of VC fanart saved for ya ;D

Lestat, Do you know where ‘s Armand ?

♛He’s down on his knees fellating me, and not doing the most impressive job of it, honestly.

No, I know where he is. He’s at the Metropolitan Museum of Art with Louis, specifically, in the Egyptian Exhibition. Have I surreptitiously bugged Louis with a tiny audio recorder and set a spy or two on him? No, of course not, that would be so rude. Only one spy. Only one recording device >;}

My birthday is coming up (11/7, mes petits) so I just need to make sure they’re not planning anything… distasteful.

Is there any reason to why Claudia cried real tears and not blood tears right before Louis turned Madeleine into a vampire? Isn’t vampires supposed to cry blood tears? I have been wondering…

Ricean vampires do cry blood tears in the books. Other vampires might not. Claudia would have cried blood tears.

In this production still from a cut scene, it looks like Claudia does have blood tears:

I don’t know why they didn’t actually do it throughout the movie. Looks like they at least tried, though :- 

Here’s another production still. Maybe the director didn’t like the thickness of them? Or the fact that they would be difficult to add in physically, since you’d have to redo her makeup for each take? In the books, blood tears are basically regular tears tinged with blood, so they would probably look pink, not so thick and red as these are. These look like ketchup.

Since I’m trying to convince a friend who has some reservation due to Anne Rice’s previous stance on fan works, do you feel as if RPing from the Vampire Chronicles is in any way problematic?

[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)?

Everything about you makes me happy!

Awww! such things u say *u*

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-”

Louis: *sighs*

I’ve been seeing some posts about Santino’s death and ????? And I tried to find an explanation and ?????????????????????????? Can you enlighten me?

Well, I don’t want to spoil you but… If you must be spoiled, then you must be spoiled! Lestat doesn’t care about Santino but I do.

Let’s say What goes around comes around.

Longish complicated story short, Santino is killed pretty gruesomely (although quickly!) at the end of Blood and Gold, for past crimes he committed against Marius (kidnapping vampnapping? fledgnapping? idk Armand and turning him into an evul Child of Darkness, attempting to kill Marius and actually murdering innocent Boys of the Veneto at the same time, etc.)

So Santino, well, his uppance did come. He is dead as a doornail, my friend.

Lady Gaga as Ursula?

Ursula? You mean from the Little Mermaid? IDK, not my department! But she is a fabulous character and I would love to see someone try to play her as beautifully as she was in the movie. Pat Carroll voiced her SO WELL.

EDIT: Thanks to @nodominion and @luffenmeihn for alerting me: Anon was referring to Ursula from Vittorio. Ursula was Vittorio’s maker. 

I’m still not the right person to ask bc I never really considered Vittorio to be a Vampire Chronicles story (even though it IS listed in the VC Wiki), bc it seemed to always be intended as a stand-alone story:

“I have, however, nothing whatsoever to do with the “Coven of the Articulate,” that band of strange romantic vampires in and from the Southern New World city of New Orleans who have regaled you already with so many chronicles and tales. 

I know nothing of those heroes of macabre fact masquerading as fiction. I know nothing of their enticing paradise in the swamplands of Louisiana. You will find no new knowledge of them in these pages, not even, hereafter, a mention.”

So I don’t remember it well enough to cast it 😛 Maybe I should give it a reread.

I’ll open this to everyone else. Anyone have thoughts on this? And while you’re at it, cast Vittorio, too. Might as well!

How do you think Louis would react if someone beat him at poker/gambling?

Louis lets people beat him at these kinds of games occasionally, if he didn’t, no one would ever play him! This is the face he makes:

However, there have been a few times he’s been legitimately beaten, and he always takes it like a good sport, and tries to reconstruct how they managed it. Usually it’s because Lestat, who has no poker face, saw Louis’ hand and unconsciously gave it away to the opponent.

Eva Green as Pandora

I don’t remember what ethnicity she was supposed to be specifically, Greek? A year ago @evan-wheeler offered Eva Green as Akasha but now that we have Nicki Minaj…. that role is sorta cast in my heart!

Aside for what the social justice warriors might say re: her ethnicity, I think Eva Green would be great as Pandora.

^Pandora with AU!Caucasian Arjun.
