For @auburnandamberangel!!

Daniel got his immortal companion an Atari and he’s been hooked for hours without moving. While he has the chance Daniel decides to do a bit of decorating- Armand didn’t let him put a single ornament on the meticulously designed tree he had brought in, after all.Ā

Just feel like repeating a few things in light of recent posts…

Fandom isn’t just escape into a fantasy world. Fandom is letting the fantasy world supplement us, bolster us, give us hope. Fandom is drawing our friends and loved ones as close as we can, even separated by massive distance, we can at least communicate with and support eachother.

Fandom can stimulate wonderful discussions even if you disagree with someone, and perhaps even enlighten you to smtg you might not have considered before! ā€œThe mind, once stretched by a new idea, never returns to its original dimensions.ā€ – Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. (I think? Might be

Ralph Waldo Emerson… idk)Ā

I actually got this message 3 days ago, but I was neck-deep (hehehe!) in birthday messages for Lestat, so I felt like this could be answered a little later, when the dustĀ his confetti settled.

… Little did I know that the sh*t would hit the fan so spectacularly here in the US… where am I going with this, you ask? Well, in the face of such stress and anxiety and and and… all the emotions one can have in this situation… it’s so good to know my face (figuratively and literally) is loved, fangs ā€˜n all, and I’m still needed, and by unrelentingly plowing ahead, encouraging others to make – and making my own – fanworks, it can help us all get through this.

By the way, totally unrelated: how’s everyone’s immigration policies? Asking for a friend…

*puts a tiara on your head* Happy Birthdayyy! ^___^ I hope you had a wonderful day celebrating your fabulous existence! 🌟 Stay awesome! ā¤

It was a Wednesday so it was necessary to celebrate on BOTH weekends before and after, bc, you know, I can’t possibly go to work and then have enough free time to celebrate my fabulous existence on a WEEK WEAKĀ NIGHT.

And THANK U FORĀ YOUR LOYALTYĀ you’ve been on board this crazy train since 8/30/15!

Petition to baptize Louis and Paul’s sister Burnandette bc you are really Master Fabuloso

Awwww! What a sweet thing to suggest! thank u ā¤

image

Burnadette is a slight variation of Bernadette, French name meaning ā€œBrave as a bear.ā€ I changed it to get the fire reference ;] So Louis’ sister would have spelled it the normal way.

… I won’t deny it looks good. ā€œBernadette, Louis, and Paulā€ sound like they could be siblings šŸ˜€ BTW, that’s the Jane Austen font from DaFont.

But I wouldn’t want anyone to feel left out in the sense that I’m *special* or anything, I’m glad that some names were left out of canon, so anyone can project their own names onto those characters.

  • Lindsay Denise de Pointe du Lac!
  • Allison Catherine de Pointe du Lac!
  • Marie-Elizabeth Annabelle-Louise de Pointe du Lac!
  • etc.!

I can’t remember which fic it was but I’ve seen some fanon options for her name. I’ll reblog this post with that infoĀ if IĀ remember them.Ā @vampchronfic would have a suggestion.


[BTW: It’s ā€œMater Fabuloso,ā€ a name someone suggested for me ages ago on here, and it’s bc ā€œMaterā€ means ā€œMotherā€ in Latin. We used to refer to AR as ā€œMater Gloriousa,ā€ ā€œOur Glorious Mother.ā€ So it’s related to that.]

The name is also featured inĀ this song, which is very upbeat butĀ if you listen to the lyrics closely the singer is basically a guy who has to have ALL OF this poor lady bc apparently she’s already so much a part of him that he needs her more than just out of love, and smacks down the competition as unworthy.Ā It’s pretty obsessive.

I liked it when I was a kid, so it has a nostalgic feel for me, and at that time, I just thought it was a guy who couldn’t help but express himself as to how madly in love he was. Obsession and madly in love, unhealthy relationships… very VC.
