I actually don’t know if there are (I’m guessing not, I’m not personally aware of any).
I’ll put this to the fandom. Any male-muns out there? Reblog or message me if so!
I think some ppl have forgotten how to fandom or never knew, it’s not like there’s a manual of etiquette. That’s the short answer. And hasn’t this all been said in infinite variations?
Unfortunately, thanks to Tumblrland Hyperbole™ – which seems to have escalated exponentially in the past year – there are now:
There’s a daily parade of Real Life ppl who call us “creepy” for loving vampires, robots, thawed-out super soldiers, billionaire playboy philanthropists, aliens, women warriors, etc.
I’ve been called “creepy” at work. I tend to wear alot of black bc I don’t want to spend alot of money on work clothes, and sometimes I let my “macabre” interests slip out, seeking to make a connection; I shared a picture of Halloween makeup (Redditor Specialxk’s zombie walk face-and-throat trompe l’oeil makeup job) with someone at work I thought might be as impressed at the artistic skill as I was, and that person still won’t talk to me, some 3 weeks later.
Specifically, currently, there are ppl in the fandom who seem to thrive on drama, and I considered answering this privately bc I don’t want to encourage it, but I’m going to take this as an opportunity to pay tribute to the one – yet another among MANY over the past several years that I’ve witnessed – who’s been pushed out because of it.
I don’t know what their public participation will be like in the future, I for one hope that the mun will take time off, and the fandom can collectively welcome them back, or the fandom can fracture, and let those who want to fandom with the mun do so, and those don’t should ignore ppl they don’t like, and invest the time and effort spent anonhating in more positive ways.
It seems like we’ve lost another RPer (merciful-death-archive), and what’s especially sad is that this RPer had been active for 3+ yrs, responding #ic and #ooc to all kinds of fandom topics, and these responses were often so well done that the mun was often complimented as sounding like the canon character! For their writing and all the mun did to encourage building friendships and welcome new people into the fandom, bringing ppl together to squee and critique and all the fun stuff we like to do about this series and its characters, this RPer was nominated as the fandom “Mom” figure, and it stuck.
This RPer was popular. Maybe it was the mun’s popularity that drove a group of ppl to try, time and time again, to tear the mun down with anonhate. They have their reasons. Supporters of the mun rallied time and time again to try to solve the issues as they arose, both privately and publicly, with little success, although there were periods when the anonhate tapered off.
This RPer was greatly appreciated by the fans in fandom who want to participate and actually make friends, isn’t that what fandom is about? The mun was someone who tried to promote building relationships in fandom, through fandom positivity. With the positivity blog, they did it anonymously, on their own time, spending tireless unpaid hours on it, so it wasn’t for self-promotion. It was for actual love of the fandom and the ppl in it who make it worth the effort by giving that love back through responses and fanworks.
We’ll miss merciful-death-archive, and I for one will welcome the mun (and all who have been pushed out) back when/if they are ready to return.
omg you must’ve looked wickedly cool. It’s an excellent combo. The girlier the lace, the grungier the leather, the better.
Re: it being an iconic moment: Oh I agree! It’s one of his most iconic moments in the movie, for sure, specifically bc it relates to fashion and a little bit about just being comfortable; bc when sleeves are bunched up like that it limits your range of motion, not good for driving but i digress. AND because we can see his hands are back to normal, he’s definitely feeling better already, and ready for another adventure… with Daniel this time!
I actually don’t know! Purposely. Ignorance is bliss. I’m just grateful we haven’t suffered a crossover of BV/VC.
I’m gonna redirect you to hyperbeeb, who is taking one for the team and reading the first one in the- has read the first one and is now reading the whole series?! Her tag for this journey into madness is #Mary reads the blood vivicanti
Wrath: a headcanon about your character and their anger management
ooc; Louis is super passive aggressive. He’s very pretentious and always tries to keep up this courteous image, so when he doesn’t like someone, he very rarely comes out with it. He’s more likely to just make subtle hints at the fact that he dislikes/is angry at someone, particularly with people he’s not super invested in.
He generally lets his anger exist on a slow simmer below the surface, but Lestat’s an exception. Lestat can work him up very fast, and while he’ll play the passive aggressive game with him as well (ie: responding to texts with just smiley faces or one-worded replies, ignoring him around the house), he also has no problem speaking his mind to him. He loves when Lestat asks him if he’s angry of if something is wrong, since it gives him an excuse to go off, if it’s a non-major issue. If it’s something he’s really peeved about, he has no issue skipping the passive aggression and just going for gold. Their fights can be really explosive.
He doesn’t get in a rage very often, but when he’s really angry, he’s very quiet, cold, and calculating. He will ruin you lol. Probably in a fire.
♠ Louis here. I felt that I should answer this myself, since it is a question for me. Could I share this day with Lestat? If not directly with him, could I give him half? It would seem a beautiful gift to share in either fashion.
I admit that I’m not wholly prepared to answer, to consider this at all… the fact that I have never considered it is because I would never want to raise such an impossible dream in my heart, only to be crushed by the reality that it can never be.
Regardless, I’ll give you what comes to mind anyway. Assuming I must keep such a miracle to myself, here’s a small glimpse of ideas of what I might do:
Crêpe Suzette, for breakfast. Fruits, apple juice, coffee. Black coffee, café au lait, jasmine green tea. Beignets from the Cafe du Monde. Gumbo (with alligator). Crawfish
étouffée.
Mezcal. Perhaps something I never got to try as a mortal,
Aszú
Tokay. I’ve been told it’s very syrupy, but it may go well with vanilla ice cream.
I would try to take notes throughout, so that I might relive the experience on those nights when eternity seems the most dreary, and I strain to recall the way the light caught the luster of the wooden body of a cello, the way it filtered through the water on the scaled backs of the fish, or shone in the eye of a lady – or man – as I took their hand to dance, as that light receded below the horizon once more.
romanchronicles is an OC vampiress with that exact problem! I can’t find the post she goes into detail about it, but that is basically what happened. I bet the mun and muse would love to entertain your questions/amusements about it.
…However, as far as Ricean vampires go, I don’t think that would be a problem at all, as they can cut their hair post-turning, and it grows back to the length it was when they died. Hence, they can cut out that bad dye job; and since dye doesn’t exist in the flesh itself, their hair would grow back fine!
The issue would be if someone had shaved their head before turning, bc their hair would stay that length after death 😛 Sorry Uncle Fester, it ain’t coming back.
OMG. THANK. U!
Hehehe ya caught that ;D
