A friend of mine and I are running off to The Big City for college in a couple of months–I’m excited, but I’m putting the entire country between myself and everything and everyone (else) I’ve ever loved. I’m terrified, both of the homesickness (which is going to be like having my heart ripped out) and of being chewed up and spit out by the hugeness of the place, and being forced to come back. You see why I’m asking you about this. Any advice?
I can see why you would ask me this, but the times seem to be so different and yet so the same. In my experience, as far as running away to Paris with Nicolas, I only have simple, nearly instinctual advice, unfortunately. Keep in mind that it has been a long, long time since then.
Firstly, I would try to work out your financial matter thoroughly; there was a time or two when other than our apartment, we weren’t much richer than the homeless of Paris. Secondly, dive in and immerse yourself in this city with all your heart and soul and love it as if it were a living, breathing person. Cities have personalities as well as any human. Thirdly, heartbreak from home will ache but remember that your family and friends are only a letter, or email, or call away. Remember that you are not alone in your travelings, and if you were, you always are capable of working your will.
I apologize if this is little help to you but just let the city throw you where it wants you and don’t be afraid if it isn’t where you thought you would go.
The sixteenth century called, they want their hair back.
Doth I giveth a fuck? Nay; for the fucks that I may giveth are but specks of sand in this vast ocean of romantic delusion in which we swim; for in thy eyes are not treasures for which fucks I would giveth but the swirling pools of Inglorious War; Nay, my dear, nay for the borgeouise. Nay for the driving pigs of capitalism. Nay for the death of true righteousness and beauty in thy soveriegn gaze. I have no fucks to giveth Lestat. Not one.
ooc; I think the only justification I could have for Louis in Merrick was the fact that he’d obviously lost his marbles
I mean the part where he danced around Rue Royale because dAVID CAN’T YOU HEAR THE MUSIC CLAUDIA’S PLAYING IN MY HEAD?? dAVID THE BIRDS ARE HERE—
ooc; remember that time louis was under a love spell and ranted for like an entire page and a half about how he breathed merrick and had never experienced any love prior to her boobs and how he’d ruin the vampire-talamasca relationship just to stare at her boobs basically and then got really pissed off when david told him he was under a spell bECAUSE YOU’RE JUST JEALOUS YOU HAVEN’T FELT TRUE LUV LIKE THIS DAVID
Is it true you prefer men over women?
I do not see the gender, my dear, so I don’t quite have preferences. I do not mind a bit since I seem to busy myself with more important things such as their essence, character, beauty – and by the last I don’t mean only the exterior appearance, but I think you should already know that by now.
I love this answer *u*
This makes me so happy :’D
Marius is groaning about the idea of a Lestat vampire finishing school.
Omg. Making me think of “Murder 101” by the Wallflowers…
Ummm.
i bet it’s about raising your pinky finger when you drink blood

✔:What got me into roleplaying
This is very personal, but I am not ashamed. Go back a decade to me, or to who I was. I graduated high school and had nothing going for me. I had no goals and I was addicted to a lot of drugs. A lot. I’ve done pretty much a lot of the list: marijuana, cocaine, heroin, acid, opium, etc. My father was very abusive and my mother mentally checked out years before. I was just some drug addicted loser who hated everything about life, and who had no access to the medications I needed for various mental disorders like my dissociative disorder and my schizoaffective disorder.
There are no words for how empty and miserable every day was. I walked through life feeling like I wanted to scream so loud that my whole body would tear apart.
One day I decided I had enough. I would get off drugs and go to college. I would do something. In order to do that, I had to separate myself from my friends and the person I had been with for years. I had always loved the Vampire Chronicles and remember feeling like something had opened up to me when I read about Marius.
Isolated, I had nothing but books, TV, and the internet. Reading fan fiction came first. Really, when I started in the fandom, it was the best time to be in it. And then I began meeting people who loved the Vampire Chronicles, too. Since I adored Marius so much and knew so much about him (this was pre-The Vampire Armand, Pandora, and Blood and Gold), they asked me to play Marius. I said yes.
And it was pretty much set by then. I fell in love with him in every sense of the word, to be honest. It was through roleplaying that I was able to quit drugs, gain a sense of confidence, and even find my love of history. I went to college to study history and am now a professor of history. I got cool stuff, too. Free tickets to see the Vampire Lestat musical on Broadway. VC “swag” like hats and shit. It was awesome. I was a valued member of not only a roleplay community, but something more important. I was a valued member of something real.
My friends and I would role-play on YIM and create roleplay groups. Then we started a forum where people could join and talk to us as if we were the real vampires. But that became tedious for a while and I wanted to write again so…. I came here.
‽:An unpopular/unusual ship with my character that I love
I honestly think the hate “sex” between Marius and Santino would be quite fun.
I love this answer!! *cries*
What got you other RPers into RPing? I want more stories *u*
