#this is my weird attempt to reach out #cries & slithers back into the void #imsorry #i’m not good at talking to mega popular people that i wanna get to know #i just #*puts on brave face* #hi hello my name is Kota would u like to be friends……….. #please ignore the fact that i’m shaking like an earthquake #that’s normal #not bc i’m nervous or anything #i should stop omg #why am i making this post #no turning back now i guess


*~HELLO KOTA~* are you freakin’ kidding me, you’re too adorable! I love your VC fanart. YOU’VE ALREADY GOT YOUR OWN TAG on my blarg! *hugs tightly*

No slithering back into the void. I don’t know toastyhat, but speaking for myself, I’m human, believe it or not just a parttime Greek goddess. I, too, shake like an earthquake with teh emotions, and a message like this definitely makes my heart go all aflutter. I have this effect on someone??! SO VERY HONORED.

Part of the reason for my blog is to matchmake people in the VC fandom to eachother, and hopefully true friendships are forged between ppl who share our addiction to this crazy trashpile that is VC fandom. I’m limited by time, in that I must have a day job in order pay the costs of living, but all the time I can carve out for fandom is reserved for you (you specifically, and the wider you meaning, “everyone”)!

If it works out that I get to make new friends for MEEEE, hey, so much the better! 

I am pretty sure I’m going to cry because of that response

♛ I’m going to cry over your crying, we’re going to cause a damn flood with all these tears! Am I getting too soft in my old age? Or actually getting wiser?

Unlike you, I will actually ruin my clothes if I cry on them, I have to go change into Crying Time Clothes… Then Louis will start asking why I’m crying and it all gets very involved and emotional. And possibly physically messy.

Wait, maybe I DO want that… Can’t play that card too often or he’ll catch on to it. 

Lestat has saved my life. He doesn’t know it but I adore him. I guess i’m just a silly fangirl but I cant help but feel so grateful to him (lord knows his ego doesn’t need it) and when i meet his eyes in photographs it’s as if he knows. I wish I could speak to him and thank him. But he’d ignore me if i ever got the chance, i’m a nobody.

♛ Dear anonyme,

You are absolutely not a ‘nobody.’ Haven’t you noticed how I address my readers at almost every opportunity? “So until we meet again, I am thinking of you always; I love you; I wish you were here… in my arms.” My actual published words. I adore you. Silly fangirls, serious fangirls, silly fanboys, serious fanboys, agenderfans, even the ruthless critics, all!

These “Vampire Chronicles” are my life, laid out as honestly as possible for you. Perhaps in my search for goodness, I’ve already found it in sharing my stories. With you.

Do me a small favor, Anon: please give yourself some of the love you give to me. For the courage it took to write your message, and too many other reasons to list here, you deserve it.


I’ve explained this to another person like you… I’m an actor, as you know already, but beneath the performance must lie real substance, real experience, in order to engage with you, the audience. What good is the best performance from one of the greatest actors (ME) if there is no audience? You’re needed, every last one of you. Actors feed off their audience’s reaction, though the lines may be the same, it’s never the same show twice. Even when you read my books a second, third, fourth time around, you bring different life experiences of your own, and though the plot points are the same, your reaction to it is not. 

What are my books but stories? And what are stories? Experiences in someone’s navigation of life, “Whether ‘tis nobler in the mind to suffer/The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,/ Or to take arms against a sea of troubles/ And by opposing end them…”

I have always wanted you to experience my journey, be my captive audience, and learn from my example, whether I was being “good” or “bad” (or somewhere in between). Perhaps you can learn to take arms against your sea of troubles the way I’ve done, or suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune as I’ve suffered… more than one lifetime’s worth of both.

I know these stories have had an impact on you, on many. Have I saved lives? Like yours? I hope so. Killing evildoers is one way to save lives, writing is quite possibly another way. My autobiography had been intended for Louis, to give him everything I wouldn’t give him before that point. To save his life, if he was at all thinking he might end it. The fact that the novel touched so many lives in such a positive way made me want to share more. And more!

“Shoutout to merciful-death, vagabonddaniel and i-want-my-iwtv who are like mom, dad, and uncle Lestan for our community. They’re super nice people and great roleplayers, I want to thank them for the time they put on being pillars of our community, organizing stuff, leading discussions, creating content and in general being awesome and keeping us together.”

Awwwwww! What a lovely message! 

♥u♥

I think I can speak for all three of us *~parental figures~* when I say all we want is to enjoy this fandom together with u all! 

~ ♥ ~

Personally, I love getting impressions from ppl just starting reading the series, as well as ideas from ppl who have already read and reread some or all of the VC. The headcanons ppl share are inspiring and the fanartists breathe visible life into these characters we all cherish. The silly stuff, the meta discussions, the RP… it’s a gift that keeps on giving to support such a fandom. 

So thank you for following us, for sharing back with us, and if I could quit my job and just do this for a living I WOULD DO THAT IN A HEARTBEAT so much fandom love back to you, and the original writer of this lovely sentiment.

I love the – “don’t fucking cry” meme. Haha

ikr?? Thank u! Just look at his face! that little twinkle of expectant hope in his eye! ;A;

So many thoughts on this one TEENSY ACTING MOMENT… feels like so much is conveyed in like 4 seconds. Mostly it’s someone who loves too much but can’t be open with the object of his affection, he’s holding back these secrets that even if he were allowed to tell him (which he is not bc Marius threatened such intense retribution) would probably end up driving Louis away, if not crazy.

The “Don’t Fucking Cry” sentiment is smtg I got from Tony Stark, though. liquorandptsdvarietyshow is the one who enlightened me on the striking comparison that can be made of Lestat and Tony, and even Tony/Steve and Lestat/Louis. Not going to go into a lot of detail here on that. Maybe another time.  

I definitely think Lestat would understand the whole “Stark men are made of Iron, and don’t show weakness, GRRRR” thing. He doesn’t particularly identify it as a de Lioncourt men trait, but he is a consummate actor, and he has built a beautiful shell to protect himself from the onslaught of shit happening some of which he brings on himself, of course, in the pursuit of doing good.

Deep down they both want to be loved and give love in return, and they struggle to make and maintain those connections while still wearing a suit, whether it’s made of iron or emotional barriers ;A;

i-want-my-iwtv is a fantastic blog. The blog runner is a passionate fan whose loves for the series shines through in all of their memes, humor posts, and discussion posts, and they do an awesome Lestat RP to boot!”
