While ago we were vending at a book fair & for entertainment reasons I scribbled Lestat approving one of Veterok’s books. :’)

“Whoever he was – and of
course I knew who he had to be – he did not give a damn that I was there! He
had not even stopped to take a breath… It was Armand, of course. Yet I was hardly prepared for the
sight he presented here.
“Candle wax dripped
down the marble bust of Caesar, flowed over the brightly painted countries of
the world globe. And the books, they lay in mountains on the carpet, save for
those of the very last shelf in the corner when he stood, in his old rags
still, hair full of dust, ignoring me as he ran his hand over page after page,
his eyes intent on the words before him, his lips half open, his expression
like that of an insect in its concentration as it chews through a leaf.
Perfectly horrible he looked, actually. He was sucking everything out of the
books! …
But his manner wasn’t
the entire horror. It was the havoc he was leaving behind him, the utter disregard
of everything he used. And his utter disregard of me.
“…His auburn hair shimmered despite the dirt in it; his eyes
burned like two lights. Grotesque he seemed, among all the candles and the swimming
colors of the flat, this filthy waif of the netherworld, and yet his beauty
held sway. He hadn’t needed the shadows of Notre Dame or the torchlight of the
crypt to flatter him. And there was a fierceness in him in this bright light
that I hadn’t seen before.” – Lestat re: Armand, The Vampire Lestat

@i-want-my-iwtv blog turning 3 yrs old on 7/25/16!
[^X from my first post!]
From the fans who fell into VC since before my time, to the fresh blood (heh heh) who are just wading into it w/ us now, you’ve all made my tumblr experience so rich, I can’t even properly express how blown away I am on a daily basis how many of you send me such lovely messages and intriguing asks, and fanart, etc. and just… how, with your input, this blog has become the blog I wanted to find for all the years I searched for one. Thank you all for laying your affections w/ me over this pile of dysfunctional vampires!
So in the absence of a Follow Forever I’m doing a giveaway ^u^
I bought a few copies of VC books, and I will send them anywhere in the world as long as you have an address I can post snail mail to (and that you’re willing to share your address with me, of course!). The winners will be drawn randomly from ppl who reblog this post.
- 5 books up for winning: IWTV (gold hardcover), the Witching Hour (large paperback, it’s VC adjacent bc of the later crossover books), IWTV (paperback), TOBT (paperback w/ dual covers), Merrick (paperback). I may add a few more winnable things to this.
- Winner also gets a personal handwritten message from me in the book or separately on a card. Winner specifies.
- I will contact the winners here on tumblr, so keep your ask/chat open. If I cannot reach you in 48 hours, I will have to pick another winner :-
- Only Reblogs will count as entries, and only one per blog counts.
- No “giveaway” blogs can win.
- I will not be able to disburse tracking for the mail, sorries, but you can send me $ for it via paypal.
-
This giveaway ends July 29, 2016.
Thank you for again for validating my presence in the fandom here, sharing fanworks, headcanons, the RPers. You’re all wonderful and I feel lucky to have you following me!
*~*~*~*~Merci beaucoup and bonne chance!~*~*~*~*
Hello, you have or know, a timeline of the Vampire Chronicles that ends in the last book (Prince Lestat)?thank you very much.
I have never found a perfect VC timeline, I should make one myself… I don’t know of one that ends in PL (including or not including PL).
- This one goes through Merrick, you should save it for your own ref bc that site could go down anytime. The author of it also chose some dates that I don’t think have canon evidence (March 2, 1791 is the date indicated that Louis meets Lestat,
- Here’s another one, goes through TVA.
- This one is fun bc it’s interactive.
Gawd that would be a project. Anyone want to try to tackle this? Would be much appreciated! I might even offer some kind of reward…

Thank you so much! (I was the theme anon), I always try to remember that what I read and watch is fictional (I’ve always been a very over-empathetic person and issues like child exploitation hits hard). I’ll still continue to read the series, iwtv was so beautiful written, just wanted some clarification :) thanks!
Glad that response clarified things and that you’re sticking with it. I really appreciate your followup message!
Just because you read something doesn’t mean you endorse it. When things get too squicky for me, I “eat around” them, like you’d eat around the bruised areas of a banana. A whole banana is not ruined by a few bruises for me, but I can understand and I don’t judge if it ruins it for others.
