All my mother does is overreact and make something out of my small mistakes. I wish that she wasn’t like this, because all I can feel is sadness. And she wonders why I’m melancholy, I can’t do anything right I her eyes.

♛There are many people out there who never should have been parents. I’m sorry that your mother is the way she is. Louis’ mother was like this, too. All she could see was his flaws. She was so disappointed with the way her life had turned out that her self-worth was built on bullying everyone around her into almost obsequious obedience.

Take heart in knowing that you’ll be free of your mother eventually, free to go out and find people who will love you! People who will see your flaws but love you anyway. People who will want to help you improve in the ways you want to improve, and accept you in the ways you don’t. As you’ll do the same for them.

Hell, I’m far from perfect! But did I deserve the treatment I got from my father every time I wanted to improve my lot in life? It was the way things were at that time, and that’s the way things continue to be for so many people, even in this modern age. Trying to understand the reason why people behave the way they do may give you some perspective and closure. In so many cases, it’s a deep insecurity that causes people to be cruel to their children. I’m guilty of that. 

Your parents are just people, too. If it seems like all they do is try to tear you down, without any intention of helping you improve, do not let their disapproval seep into your own opinion of yourself. Life goes on so much longer than your upbringing, you have plenty of time and opportunity to find love and happiness. 

When I was in middle school, I couldn’t cook to save my life. I ended up in a Home Ec class where the teach was determined to make me a ‘proper lady’. Needless to say, I wasnt okay with that. Needless to say, she failed and I lost kitchen privileges.

♛Well sometimes teachers do fail, it’s a sad fact of life. 

We tried to find the very best for Claudia, but regardless of their ability to teach they had a shortened life expectancy, unfortunately for them. We ended up homeschooling her to a certain extent, and you have to ask yourself whether your parents are talented enough for that bc I CERTAINLY WAS.

Confession: When I was 16 I almost burned down an art house while participating in mandatory highschool community service. Instead of clean I hid and set leaves on fire.

♛I hope you take a different approach to things you’d rather not do now that you’re older. An art house! You were going to burn down art?! Or a performance space? Either way, terrible waste.

I still haven’t fire-broken Louis *ragged sigh* Don’t learn from his example.

Confession: I am like Louis everyone either is fighting over me or hating on me. Lol

♠(Louis) When one side has finally won you over, yes, the criticism of their prize begins, and then another fight, and so on, for eternity. *sigh*

My friends joke that I’m part vampire. My family has an extra pair of canines, sun sensitivity, dark hair+pale skin. And reddish and blue hues to our eyes. I also have a keen senses and usual strength. Add in my personality and blurry family tree lol

♛I’ve picked up stray hybrids and vampires like you before and tried to adopt them, Louis never lets me keep them, so I refuse to get attached to you! *huffs*

Can we do confessions or something fun like that again, Lestat? It would bring my little heart so much pleasure. Monseuir, si vous plait?

♛ Yes, do confess your secrets to me, ma petite. It would bring my heart so much pleasure as well, why not pleasure each other?

My confession, since I began reading the VC I am somehow not afraid of the dark anymore and I found out that I can deal with death better now.


♛I told Gabrielle, “We are the things that others fear, Remember that.” It’s an empowering concept.

I always had a high tolerance for what others consider distasteful, but it definitely escalated after I was turned. I threw up my own blood and then found myself relishing the taste of it, licking it off the stone floor near a pile of dead bodies that resembled me! I scooped up a rat and studied its paws in front of retail people! 

I’m glad to have shed light on things that frighten(ed) you. Glad to have led you away from fear of the dark, and of death. Not everything in the darkness wants to be there. The things in the dark, they might yearn for the light. They might not be trying to be deliberately harmful to those who wander into their territory. Things that kill may not always do it out of malice. It’s a Savage Garden. Bad things happen that are inexplicable. It’s possible to live in fear, but isn’t living for life itself better? 

Being wary is good, but if fear hold you back, it’s freeing to let the unnecessary fears go. Fears that aren’t constructive to living.

ooc; AR has a way of choosing subjects that are difficult and unpacking them, taking the reader along, guiding us through it. Originally it was to work out her own fears, probably, and that’s why the first few novels were so strong. 

I want to pinch Lestats cheeks

♛Isn’t that sort of reserved for children? Are you calling me a child? I’ll fight you!!

Or are you… do you mean my ass? It’s so strange that pinching, smacking, really any touching of the butt is so much fun to do. What reaction are we looking for when we do it? Anything! A jump, a giggle, but really I think we’re trying to motivate (or figure out whether there’s a chance of) sexytiems.

Louis says he hates it when I do any of that to him but it so often leads to a good result that I can tell you he’s sending mixed messages on that *winks*

I love it when he pinches my cheeks. Face or otherwise.
