So…. in 1996 I was in middle school and had a friend over and my dad “caught” us watching IWTV in my room – of course it was the version that was (heavily) edited for TV but that didn’t occur to him so he actually took the TV out of my room so that we couldn’t watch anything else. Well I wanted to know how the damn movie ended so I convinced my mother to let me rent (on VHS, btw) the original movie (which was way more graphic than the version we had been watching).

Then, at the middle school I was attended, they let you read any book you wanted for the reading requirement as long as you read a certain number of pages per day. So I’m in the library that was attached to the school and – whoa – IWTV! So I picked that book to read for my middle school reading requirement. And when I was done with that I asked my mom to buy for me TVL… My mom was *thrilled* because I had been homeschooled for a few years and even though I whizzed through math text books, I *hated* reading and always did the bare minimum. My father was less thrilled and threw my copy of TVL in the trash several times.

So, my mother, bless her heart, calls up a local book store and asks them to put one of every Anne Rice book on hold for her – because she thinks Anne Rice ONLY wrote The Vampire Chronicles. Apparently without really looking at what she was buying, she has the book store put all the books on hold into a bag and ring them up….. and THAT is how my mother accidentally bought me smut when I was in middle school.

I’d finished all the vampire chronicles that were out in time for TVA which came out one week before my 14th birthday in 1998 (I was gifted three copies – I probably should have thought to ask for more than just that book…).

Seeing phrases like “I was sucked into the VC obsession hellhole when I was 14” and “Once I finished TotBT on January 22, 2012” in the same sentence make me feel positively ancient! Buuuut I couldn’t be happier, of course, that there are so many new and young fans. We can always use the fresh blood. 😉

^Yeah, it makes me feel a bit old, too, similarly, I’d read #1-4 by 1994. #5 (Memnoch the Devil) was my first fresh one. But hey, I’ve aged like a fine wine!

^LOUIS OMG RUDE I know it gets cold so quickly but show a little respect!

Well, as you know #I love these kind of stories. We may be old, but I think we got to experience the VC in a unique way. Like you, I was at the age when I could yearn for a new VC book and then get excited asking for it as a birthday present or going to the bookstore to pick it up. I didn’t like the feel of new hardcovers, though. Preferred the paperbacks, as they had a more friendly handfeel and pleasant scent.

(First of all: I do have movie!IWTV VC Drinking Game Rules maybe you can modify them, or enjoy them as-is, as-they-are)

So I’ve only seen QOTD 1x all the way through, and I had people helping me through it by making fun of it via group rewatch, so I couldn’t come up with drinking game rules other than just buy one bottle of wine per person and work your way through it the entire time, maybe every 5 minutes take a sip?

Nonono wait, don’t die of alcohol poisoning ~~I can’t afford to lose a follower that way!~~

Opening this up to everyone. Anyone have drinking game rules for QOTD?

YO I GOT THIS

It’s funny, I was actually thinking about coming up with rules for this movie only a day or two ago. As with all movie-related drinking games, I recommend cherry picking only a few from these, as using them all might result in death, but here’s what I was able to come up with. I like the two rules fairytalesgoneawry suggested, so I am gonna slap them in here as the first two:

– Every time Marius makes a new vampire
– Every time you see Armand’s nipples
– Every time you see Lestat’s nipples
– Guys, there are just nipples everywhere in this movie, it’s hilarious
– Every time a vampire hisses
– Every time a vampire’s eyes turn red

– Every time cryptic cello music plays
– Every time the word “shadows” is used
– Every time the word “friend(s)” is used sarcastically
– Drink/drain (your choice) for each nu metal song you recognize in the background

– Every time IRL media-related branding is blatantly mentioned/shown on screen
– Every time someone on screen is wearing a fishnet/mesh top
– If you’re feeling ambitious, every time a background character is wearing a pleather outfit/every time Lestat is wearing leather pants
– Every time a scene has bad vampire slow-fast-mo in it (take it easy on this one there will be plenty of opportunities lmao)
– Every time Akasha does something that is intended to look cryptic and alluring, but just comes off as absurd
– Every time Akasha hand flicks someone to death
– Drain every time there’s a shitty abstract Akasha-related montage

– Every time a vampire goes jet packing into the sky
– Every time Lestat makes a joke about “meals/eating”
– Every time Lestat gives someone excessive bedroom eyes
– Drain every time Marius says “hello, David :D”

– Drink for Marius’s golf clap on stage, I can’t even you guys

– Every time one of Lestat’s managing staff are visibly uncomfortable
– Every time Lestat’s journal is passed on to a different person
– Every time someone tells Jesse not to do something
– Every time Jesse does it anyway
– Every time you think “shouldn’t Louis have been in this scene?”
– Every time a character dies THAT FUCKING SHOULDN’T HAVE

Annnnd that’s what I got.

omg your poor livers…

Lestat attempts some kind of unidentifiable European accent
a scene happens that wasn’t in the book at all
FORCED LOVE STORY
Every time your eyes twitch trying to accept the new Armand
Whenever someone is on screen that is not really goth or punk, but the costume dept said they are.

How about you take a drink every time Marius makes another vampire?
Or every time you see Armand’s nipples?
