♛Every chance I can get!

Publicly or privately, dressed up or down, with or without music, dance is a language of its own, an art worth practicing. Even among the dead.

♛ Hm, I wonder what it would do to YOU… *glances at the device, there’s a crackling sound, steam rises as the batteries melt and the whole thing finally burst into flames*

What’s this sudden fascination in you gray-faced minions in threatening me? *huffs* Everyone adores Louis and you must know by now that we’re… intimately attached to each other. You trying to rid the world of us both?
Even Armand needs me alive and -relatively- mentally stable now! Heavy is the head that wears the crown, indeed.
♛Do I give off the impression that I don’t?

Normally this would offend me but you caught me in a more or less contemplative mood. Lucky for you.
– Hold on. It does offend me.
Yes, I love Louis. I fucking adore him. I worship him. I’m not ashamed to admit it. I have also: despised him, wanted to scream at him until his hands rise up to hide his tears, wanted to beat him to a quivering bloody pulp. Satisfied?
Obviously there was life, well, existence, before Louis. I functioned. I loved. As you probably know already, when I found him, he was trying desperately to drown himself, trying to weaken himself physically, so that someone could more easily take his life… his soul spoke to me before he even saw me, he simply couldn’t kill himself, his passion for life matched my own. I was captivated. He still captivates me.
The fact that we’ve found peace in each other’s arms for so many years is all the more valuable considering the battles we’ve fought against others, time, the world, and (really, most importantly) each other. We still fight – with words mostly now, and it can be vicious. But underneath it all is an undeniable need for each other (not only physical) that overrides… well… everything else.
I think in the last analysis, his happiness is my happiness, and vice versa.
♛Actually, I do wear glasses from time to time, gives me an intellectual air. It also gives me something to fuss with during tense moments in therapy with Louis so that I don’t wring his pretty little neck. Which, justified or not, still tends to weaken my position.
I assume your question means aside from sunglasses, of course. Which you know about already, my preference for violet-tinted. I highly recommend it. Everything I look at is washed over with a dreamy lens. Je vois la vie en rose, so to speak. Improves one’s mood immensely.
The only glasses that look terrible on my face shape are the iconic circular ones popularized by John Lennon.
Ah well, can’t have it all. *sighs*
I also don’t like this modern frame-less look, at least for men. It lacks the warmth of the human touch of frame design and craftsmanship.
I favor glasses that flatter my bone structure, generally wide but not too rectangular, to enhance my cheekbones. Large lenses are necessary to balance the strong jawline and my voluminous hair, but I like a casual material for the frames like tortoise-shell or black plastic.
When the fabric you’re wearing is Serious (like velvet or leather), accessories should be more relaxed.
Fairly certain these are tortoise-shell Ray-Bans, the icing on the slice of cake that is this male model:

This Aaron Tveit has good taste (and looks like he tastes good, too…)

Here’s Josh Hutcherson, who I’m enjoying more and more the more I see of him:

Justin Timberlake, the reigning “Prince of Pop,” oui? We could make such beautiful music together… Would love to raid his closet. With him present. As he tries to defend it. Mmmmmm…

♛[writing Thank You card] Merci. We followed the instructions on your card
to the letter, by the way.

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

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
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.

[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:
character?
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*
