                                        — Lestat—

Lestat, not a bad friend to have, and one for whom I would lay down my immortal life, one for whose love and companionship I have ofttimes begged, one whom I find maddening and fascinating and intolerably annoying, one without whom I cannot exist.

Perhaps the most notable of us all. Lestat de Lioncourt, once an actor in the French theater and former American rock superstar. He came to me a just orphaned fledgling in the late 1700's, clad in red velvet and rich silks and he strutted over the dank Parisian cemetery Les Innocents that I resided in, wherein I commanded my dying coven of satanic worshipers. He destroyed what I had there with his enlightenment, but he also saved me and brought me back into this world. But Lestat left Paris to see the world, and left me to come into command of the very theater he once played in, one which was recreated as a safe haven of Our Kind: Theatre Des Vampires. Our tale sours further almost a century later when he returned to me and told me of the deception of his two fledgings, Louis and Claudia. I offered a remedy for his pain, a fair trial, but perhaps wounded him more then. The last time I would see him before he slept beneath the earth would be briefly in America in the early 1900's until once again he would awake to raise hell as the one hit wonder of the 1980's and along with him bring the destruction of our very kind by the side of Akasha. Our time together did not stop after that apocalyptic event, whereas I often trailed after him until the defining moment he chose to go to a man called Memnoch, the Devil incarnate who showed him God and the Christ himself. It would be two years before I would see him again, rising out of a coma in a old chapel. I cannot say our paths have crossed in a more positive or more negative way, only that each meeting has been of great importance in our lives. He is perhaps the closest thing to a brother and lover I could ever dare to have, for I hate him and love him all the same and could not live in this modern world if he were not in it. Ultimately, I begrudingly say, he remains dear to me now even when I loathe his very presence. Lestat, my dark brother.

#THIS MAKES ME THINK OF THAT RP I HAD WITH DANNYMOLLOY ON SKYPE WHERE ARMAND HELD A BIG BUSINESS PARTY ON THE NIGHT ISLAND AND HE INVITED BIG BAD GUYS LIKE MOBSTERS AND DRUG LORDS IN BETWEEN 

#AND HE HAD DAN GO TALK AND MEET THEM ALL AND COME TELL HIM WHO WAS THE MOST SCANDALOUS  

#BC HE KNOWS DAN LIKES INTERVIEWING PEOPLE STILL AND GOOD STORIES  

#AND THEN ARMAND TOOK HIM OVER TO A GROUP OF MEN AND ONE OF THE GUYS THERE WAS A BIG HUMAN TRAFFICKER  

#AND ARMAND POSED AS DANIELS BOYTOY AND THEY LURED HIM UP TO THEIR BUNGALOO  

#AND ARMAND MADE DANIEL PRETEND TO STRIKE A DEAL WITH HIM WHILE SLOWLY WEEDING OUT INFORMATION  

#AND THEN ARMAND CAME IN TO SHOW HIS ‘WORTH’ TO THE MAN AND KILLED HIM  

#AND THE WHOLE THING WAS LIKE A RIDICULOUS FOREPLAY IN THE END  

#AND DAN AND ARMAND GOT DOWN AND DIRTY NEXT TO THE DEAD BODY AND DAN DIDNT CARE BECAUSE ARMANDS BLOOD AND HE WAS A LITTLE BUZZED FROM THE BOURBON)

although i DO like the fact that there’s more queer canon couples in vampire chronicles than non-queer canon couples; i do think there’s a lack of non-male characters, like pandora or bianca or mona (who appear only a handful of times), needless to say non-male canon couples

I wholly agree and the few books we get centered around females IE PANDORA and MERRICK are basically boiled down to their lives revolving around the men of the stories. (Even if I think Merrick really shouldn’t have been Merrick’s story but David’s since he was telling it).
The series has so much potential and unfortunately there is a lot of problematic themes and sexism and even racism but ;c )

#ALSO I LOVE YOUR URL)  #REMINDS ME OF LESTAT IN MERRICK CALLING OUT THE TALAMASCA FOR OBJECTIFYING MERRICK)  

EXACTLY! the only reason we got to have those books was because david was seeking out for them, a male again. 

i think that the whole series got better when it started to get mixed with the witches, but you’re right about the unspoken racism/sexism; and i mean, with the whole super-queer-androgynous-too-good-for-human-morals thing, it shouldn’t be real hard to make it more open 

#thank you im in love with my url #it kinda reminds me of that too 🙂

((I like this discussion and also wanted to reiterate those tags re: Feministlestat))

I think the mixing with the witches was good in some ways, for sure. I liked that whole Mona vs. Lestat thing, of course they would butt heads immediately, being such alpha types…

That dress scene in Blood Canticle! Where they were fighting over her dressing too sexy… Mona actually had a good line there about VC women:

“And I know why you’re so fired up over Rowan, she’s the first adult female other than your own mother who’s ever caught your attention for more than five minutes, and Hello! Lestat Discovers The Opposite Sex! Yeah, females do come in grown-up sizes! And I happen to be one of them, and this is not the Garden of Eden, and I am not taking off this dress!”

We acknowledge that pedophilia and incest and suicide and a million other bad things are major plots of the book. But those are things that you just don’t make jokes about in general.

“I guess no one mentioned that unspoken rule to: Mel Brooks, Oscar Wilde, Marquis de Sade, Joe Masteroff, Jonathan Swift, Willam Shakespeare, Ambrose Bierce, Voltaire or a host of others.”

   ❝Writing reprehensible pro’s such as that does not condone them into being made as a joke, monsieur. All of whom you have listed, myself included, did not do so for that reason. Such scenarios exist and I personally used them to extract that very notion, not to make fun of it.❞

“But those are things that you just don’t make jokes about in general.”

We as a culture need to be able to read and write and talk about things that are uncomfortable/unsavory/illegal/bad/etc. Those are ways of dealing with them. There’s a fine line sometimes, but better to unpack them than pretend that they don’t exist or assume that ceasing discussion of them will prevent them from happening anymore.

Also thank u faceofabotticelliangel for this tag: #SaSS MASTER MARQUIS DE SADE)

She won’t even care
Love is just a game she won’t play fair
I am on a one track down, swallowed the bate
Took her for real but she was just fake
Now she won’t even care

Gave everything I got, another heart attack
Threw it all away
So this is the end, never giving in
Getting out tonight

Took her for real but she was just fake

SIGN THIS PETITION TO KEEP ROLEPLAY ALIVE.

flamehans:

TheSOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) bill has resurfaced and is once again trying to be passed.

The link attached will take you to a petition. Unless this petition reaches 100,000signatures by next week, this will happen:

  • All websites containing media that refers to or is owned by a company that hasn’t given its permission for the media to be displayed can and will be shut down. This means sites such as Tumblr, Wattpad, Pinterist, fanfiction.com.
  • People who post such media can and will be fined, with a maximum sentence of five years in prison. This includes, but is not limited to, people who own/post the following: fanfiction, fan art, roleplay blogs, fan blogs/accounts and movie streaming sites.

“The legislation would allow copyright holders and the Justice Department to seek court orders against websites associated with copyright infringement. SOPA, the House version, applies to both domestic and foreign websites, while PIPA targets foreign websites. If that court order is granted, the entire website would be taken down. Internet users who typed in the site’s URL address would receive an error message, and for all appearances, the site would never have existed. Importantly, the court does not need to hear a defense from the actual website before issuing its ruling. The entire website can be condemned without a trial or even a traditional court hearing.”

This is not a joke.
This is real.

We need 100,000 signatures by next week. Make one of them yours, or all these things that make you happy will disappear.

THIS ONLY TAKES 5 MINUTES TO DO, I TIMED IT. 

Sorry to post smtg non-VC but it threatens i-want-my-iwtv! Don’t you love VC fanart/fanfic, and my VC memeythings? And RPers? Please help. I won’t beg for reblogging, but that’d be nice, too *u*

Don’t think “Oh, someone else will bother with this.” You’re the someone else 😦

92,214 signatures still needed after I signed it. 

Here’s a Lestat for a little demotivation. I won’t be able to share these anymore if SOPA passes *cries*
