i had a dream last night that you finished updating your theme etc. and if that doesn’t say i spend too much time browsing your archive, nothing will

Omg… I am… so flattered that my blog was in your dreams! But also embarrassed bc it was about the long-awaited update! I am super flattered that you browse my archive that much, you’ve made my day for sure ;D

Ok, I really need to get that done…  I CHANGED THE HEADER JUST FOR YOU, ANON! TODAY! I took out the construction signage and gave the kitty a top hat. He is so dapper now. I’d like to keep him in the new layout somewhere and just change his hat/accessorize him on a regular basis… ANYWAY CONSTRUCTION CONTINUES, behind the screen, w/o signage!

image

The thing is, the new layout is currently… pastel grunge? More like just pastel. all lighter colors w/ a dark font and IDK how I feel about that. I’m resisting the transition. And my webmistress demands tags on the center bottom of posts and just… I LIKE THEM ON THE SIDE. Don’t you guys prefer them on the side? Like a side of French fries!

I think I need to stick with a similar color scheme and just make the layout more easily navigable. There won’t be fancy animated buttons or anything superfluous like that. 

The other obstacle(s) is that I have yet to write up this stuff (and yes, I could put temp pages up, but I’d rather unveil it all at once!): 

  • Nav page w/ all the really good links like “cut scenes.” “For RPers.” “Fanfic.” “Fanart Request,” and analysis/critique of VC so ppl can easily find that stuff. 
  • FAQ for stuff I am frequently asked, and you’d be surprised but I am asked similar questions alot, one common topic is the order in which the books should be read (#order of operations for VC), just as an example.
  • About – so I could make it perfectly clear how unofficial a VC blog this is! Idk how I’d feel about being officially affiliated or approved by AR in some way… I’d be honored but I’d also worry about how that might limit my freedom of speech/reblogging of things that are critical of VC. We’ll cross that bridge if we ever come to it, and I’ll of course let you all know.
  • a Rules page for RPing with my Lestat, so I don’t have to keep explaining to people why he can’t do legit threads with their muses when they reach out to have a legit thread with him. I feel bad turning ppl down but I just don’t have the copious free time needed to thread with everyone who wants to do so ;A;

Since it’s STILL under construction, I am open to ideas as to anything else you think should be on the blargh. Not to say I will include them but I’m open-minded ;]

Because I could not stop for Death – He kindly stopped for me – The Carriage held but just Ourselves – And Immortality.

Dumped in a swamp, and you’re to blame, darling you give love a bad name. You slit my throat, set the house aflame! You give looove a BAD NAME!

♛He did do those things to me or watched as they were done and he does give love a bad name. 

He’s lucky that despite all that, I have a forgiving nature. 

Still… good to sing that at him now and then.

Am I the only one that totally saw Armand just like Yurio (Plisetsky)? Both smol cynical RUSSIAN teenagers with issues/angst. (Familiar???) Longer hair, angelic, sometimes cruel but at the same time you can’t help but love them.

Indeed, I had that thought, too! The resemblance is uncanny…

^Yurio

^Armand (Bjorn Andresen)

I’m sure someone could write up a more elaborate comparison of these two, but I’m drained, can’t do it. Anyone is welcome to reblog/comment on this!

Do you have a list/know of any good VC fanfics? I think I’ve read them all. I can’t find any!!! Smut, plot, I don’t care, I’m truly desperate. But now with all the TV show news, the fandom is slowly awakening from its hibernation so there have been a lot of new fanfic/art/stuff!! Also, AR wrote some bs on her personal FB about negative reviews and people feeling “victimized” and crap. I can’t. Also, Lestat, is it bad that I’m jealous of my friends because they hang out without me all the time?

Woah that is a lot of questions! I’m gonna respond to the comment about the negative reviews and the ask for Lestat

separately, for clarity.

[XFor VC faaaanfic:

There’s good stuff right here on tumblr, too. VC RPers write threads and answer asks in character, which you might like, and some of them also write drabbles from time to time, try these links/tags to find them:

Other ppl who might be able to help:

Louis. Let me light you up with my love ♡ i will set on fire your body without using gasoline. Lestat, Louis will be mine. PD: im a fireman so, i can take louis to see houses and buildings on fire by night. I could make you happy louie. Think about it
