Inspired by a HEART WRENCHING moment in @monstersinthecosmosMarius/Santino hatesfucking(drinking?) drabble I’ve drawn a smiling Children of Satan/Darkness Armand. Getting into the spooky aura of October it’s dusty Armand in the last place he should be all chipper.
A family that eats together stays together; my assignment was some satanic family fun with the children of darkness gang (Armand, Santino, Allessandra). Happy holidays!
I took part in the vc secret santa this year and take any excuse to draw naked men
To my knowledge, we don’t really have a name, like the Potterheads for HP or the Hiddlestoners for Tom Hiddleston 😦
We’re just “VC fans.” If I’m differentiating between different vampire media, I’ll say “Ricean vampires” or “VC vampires.”
It’s an old fandom, so old that I’m pretty sure it predates fandom being the recognized thing it is today. We were also strongly discouraged from creating fanfic, so maybe that’s why we don’t have a name. VC fanfic was underground, the fandom was in hiding, we didn’t want to draw unwanted attention by having a name. The Talamasca slogan might as well be our fandom’s slogan, too: We watch and we are always here.
Sometimes I refer to us as “People Off the Page,” to differentiate us from the VC Facebook fans who Anne Rice calls her “People of the Page.” More on that here. They used to be a formidable army she could sic on other fans/reviewers/etc., but things have been peaceful for awhile now, thankfully.
I used to refer to us tumblr fans as “fanged little trash kittens” or “fanged little trash monsters” more frequently than I do now. Probably had to do with the fandom trend at one point of saying “I’m such X-trash!/I’m trash for X!” meaning that you loved X thing/character. Seemed only natural that we would be fanged trash creatures. And it’s gender-neutral.
Any variation on the words Vampire and Chronicles doesn’t wholly work for us, since there are so many other Vampire series and Chronicles series.
//I’d like to suggest “Children of Darkness“
I second “Children of Darkness”. So dignified.
Yes, we have been called that, or called ourselves that, in the past! I’m sorry I forgot! Here, I made us a super classy badge:

Paris Catacombs: Bones from the Madeleine Cemetery
The Madeleine Cemetery, which stood in the 8th Arrondissement in Paris, was one of four where victims of the guillotine were buried during the French Revolution. Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette were buried there temporarily, but now they lie at the Basilica of St. Denis.
The cemetery was named for Mary Magdalene. It opened in 1720 and closed in 1794, purportedly because it was full. Among those buried there were 130 victims of a fireworks accident at the engagement of the dauphin to Marie Antoinette, the Swiss Guards who were killed at the Tuileries, Charlotte Corday, and Madame du Barry, among others. It’s hard to know for certain how many people were actually buried there.
The Paris Catacombs hold the remains of an estimated 6 million people.
Statue of Death from Saint Innocents Cemetery – Île-de-France (circa 1530). This image of Death found at the Louvre once stood at the
centre Saint Innocents cemetery in Paris. The cemetery was known for
housing mass graves and was in use from the High Middle Ages until 1780,
when it was closed due to overuse. In 1786, the bones were moved to the
Catacombs in Montparnasse.
