Nah, nothing wrong with it, I just haven’t tried reading it *shrugs*
This is highly subjective, but for me, my love is for the VC characters/stories first, the vampiring is secondary, but crucial in developing those characters. So much vampire media seems like “all one needs is a pair of fangs,” and I suspect BV falls into that category, but like I said, I haven’t given it a chance yet. I don’t see a BV fandom presence here or on AO3, soooooo… that says something about it, oui?
Hellooooo! Welcome to the Vampire Crackicles our dark little alley of tumblrland.
No worries, I actually rarely get asked that… every so often a post will come along “REBLOG IF YOU’RE IN THE VC FANDOM” but those aren’t the best resource bc blogs do go inactive.
Partly bc of the unpredictable nature of blog life partly bc I’m lazy, I don’t have a link to blogs that post alot of VC, but the two that immediately come to mind (bc they inspired me to make this blog) are vampchronfic. and vampire-chronicles-appreciation. Also, there’s jardinsalvaje and annericevcmexico, which have alot of VC fanart, etc., and some content in Spanish.
VC RP blogs would be a good place to start bc the RPers often post ooc (out of character) about the VC… so you could check these tags on my blog:
RP, for RPers, Bump, headcanon, headcanon accepted, damn you and your perfect headcanon perfection.
When you’re on desktop tumblr, you can check out the blogs I follow (they’re all in my header, in the “following” box) and those might be of interest to you, too. Fair warning that there are a plenty of non-VC fandom blogs there bc of reasons ;]
Hope that helps!

Well it worked, didn’t it?!
“And when the night was empty and still, I heard the voices of Interview with the Vampire singing to me, as if they sang from the grave. I read the book over and over. And then in a moment of contemptible anger, I shredded it to bits.”
“… As for the lies he told, the mistakes he made, well, I forgive him his excess of imagination, his bitterness, and his vanity, which was, after all, never very great… But little things like this don’t really matter. He told the tale as he believed it… And why should I bother to tell of the times he came to me in wretched anxiety, begging me never to leave him…”

1. Why did you choose your URL?
DUDE I brainstormed alot, my blog was inspired by vampchronfic and vampire-chronicles-appreciation, so I wanted VC represented in the url prominently. I realized that “VC” rhymes w/ the “I want my MTV” slogan that MTV had in the 90s (and 80s), but “I-want-my-VC” didn’t quite flow right. “IWTV” had a better letter combination and here is a gif of the versions of my logo bc of reasons

2. What is your middle name?
DANGER. No. It’s *~Dorothy~*
3. If you could own a fairytale/fictional pet, what would it be?
I probly can’t get away with “vampire” for this one, since they probably make terrible pets… Cat-sized unicorn. Not very rational here, I should choose like the Golden Goose for infinite money, shouldn’t I? Okay, Golden Goose.
4. Favorite color?
Depends on my mooooood but iridescence always catches my eye, especially in oily rain puddles.
5. Favorite Song?
Variable, but my mood can always be improved by This is How We Do It by Montell Jordan.
6. What are your top 5 fandoms?
Vampire Chronicles is my enduring addiction. Getting into the Avengers somewhat. Other than that, Real Life.
7. Why do you love tumblr?
Fanworks and meta and such and so.
8. Tag your tumblr crushes! They answer the questions too.

lol no, it’s a top hat. I think. I mean keep in mind this is the 1978 edition so perhaps buckets could be worn as top hats? Or were considered dapper? Or merely served as the inspiration for top hats?? IDEK I AM OLD BUT NOT THAT OLD.
A very unusual white top hat, hella dapper, on Alice Cooper:
[sauce]
Or is it in fact an upended wastepaper basket? [sauce] mickimonster thinks so, and shan’t be convinced otherwise!
♛ The pleasure is all mine. Well, probably mostly. You’re Thor, brother of Loki, yes? I’m a fan of you both.
vampire-chronicles-appreciation:
When I was around ten or so (not too sure on the specifics) one of my father’s coworkers was getting rid of a lot of books (it was due to lack of interest or something I’m not too sure why they were giving so many away). Anyway, I have always loved books so I decided to take some and I came out with 1-5 in the VC (not to mention several other Rice books like Vittorio and Taltos) and I just go into them after that point.
Awww, good story. I still get nostalgic when I see battered copies of the VC (or any AR books) on those $1 swap shelves at libraries, and I imagine buying a box full and poisoning enlightening a new reader to the addiction such fine literature.
Unfortunately, I don’t have a source for viewing/downloading it online :-
It’s for sale on Amazon, do you not have access to that in your country? Message me off-anon, if so, and I’ll see how I might be able to help u buy it legally!
