hi um. idk how often u talk to cote (feministlestat-inactive)(like i only saw u two talk on ur blogs once or twice) but. i saw a post that was really worrying like first thing and i was wondering if u know if shes ok? like im rly sorry if this is intrusive or anything im just. worried
Hmmm… I don’t often talk to feministlestat-inactive, I was saddened by their most recent post, and sent them a message. They haven’t answered me, if they do, I’ll update this post. Does anyone here have info on this person?
You know, I’ve seen alot of ppl archive/go inactive during my time here on tumblr and it is especially worrisome when someone leaves a post like that. We just don’t know what a person is going through on their side of the screen, and it’s even harder here bc ppl often post about themselves in the exaggerated language of tumblrland hyperbole, so how are we to know when they’re being serious and really struggling?
If you, or someone you know, is struggling, there are help lines.

omfg i missed your birthday im sooo sorry!! happy late birthday dear i hope you had an amazing day!! xx
No worries, dearie! I did indeeeeed *u*
BTW your URL still cracks me up AFTER ALL THIS TIME. Still.
well i don’t know if the fandom knows this but there’s this page www(.)vampirebibliographica(.)com where Carmen, the writer, makes really good essays about vampires in general (mostly VC) and she’s really good. (Anne Rice has spoken about her on facebook multiple times) :)
I think I’ve seen that before, thanks for sharing tho 🙂
(yes it definitely was a compliment) that’s okay i literally have no photoshop skills and it was really fucking funny and if somebody complains about quality or something they can do their own shit :)
To be fair, Lestat is actually full of WIN
what the person says : what you plan to do is horrible and will bring about nothing but pain and destruction
what lestat hears: you should totally just go for it
Forgive me for being the more optimistic one.
… sometimes what Lestat ends up doing is actually marvelous and brings about joy and love (along with the pain and destruction).
#we make fun of u bc we love u, bb ♥
There is nothing wrong with loving the crap out of everything. Negative people find their walls. So never apologize for your enthusiasm. Never. Ever. Never.
Ryan Adams (via psych-facts)
“I can’t tell you what it was like, the burst of the horse under me, the chilling wind, and the high arch of the night sky. My body was melded to animal. I was flying over the snow, laughing aloud and now and then singing. I hit high notes I had never reached before, then plunged into a lustrous baritone. Sometimes I was simply crying out in something like joy. It had to be joy. But how could a monster feel joy?” – The Vampire Lestat.

feministlestat reblogged from i-want-my-iwtv and added: #vc #lestat by #i-want-my-iwtv converting posts to vc fandom since forever #and doing it fabulously
I LOVE YOU thank you for congratulating my indulgent need of Making a Post a VC Post. Moar here:
if i had one of those human sized cardboard pictures of lestat my life would improve by 100%
#lestat #vampire chronicles #seriously it would be HILARIOUS #i.would put it in the bathroom at night to scare the living shit out of my mom #or in the closet #not like lestat is still in the closet obviously #hes gay as fuck #i would probably put him one of those pink feather scarfs #just because i can #yes
this is still relevant
maybe with a wig? and the feather scarf of course
Okay I resisted reblogging this for ONE day, I get points. Here’s the thing: I want one, too… *facepalm*
[this is part of an old memeything I did before I had better screencap ability]
i think it’s important to acknowledge a basic difference regarding the standars of beauty in the vampire chronicles
i have read lots of reviews criticizing the lack of “ugly people” and “differences of body types” in the novels, while i believe it’s partly true (im the first one to tell the basic misogynistic and racist undertone of the characters); i beg to differ when it comes to “being beautiful” at the eyes of a vampire
it comes clear that humans are animals; sacks of blood that only work to keep it fresh, for a vampire. we are like little puppies, and little puppies are always beautiful. vampires don’t think everything is beautiful in a human way, they think we are beautiful in an objective, cold hearted, inherent way.
every human is beautiful at the eyes of a vampire in the same way a landscape is always beautiful to us.
EDIT: (i forgot to add something sorry)
the body, is the only reminder of their humanity, is what makes the seem human, therefore it will always be beautiful
#vc #the vampire chronicles #vampires #anne rice #im sorry i probably spam too much those tags #this is open for discussion #you are allowed to differ seriously i want to read opinion #i have always had an andy warhol fixation over beauty #seriously andy warhol #im sorry again #im sorry if this is badly written #but i hope you get the idea #im feminist lestat im here to make social judgement over queer vampires #yaaas #im sorry i had to add the thing cuz it acts as a conclusion #like combining the vampires beauty
every human is beautiful at the eyes of a vampire in the same way a landscape is always beautiful to us.
*Nodding vigourously*
Don’t apologize for this. It’s accurate. Actually part of teen!me reading these books was very touched, like, my heart swelled, when I read those parts when the vampires do go into detail about how every mortal is beautiful because they are alive. It not only widened my view as to beauty in general (making me much less superficial towards other people), but also that, going through the awkward “ugly duckling” stage, I could feel beauty in my own metamorphosis.
Lestat POV: “Beautiful, that’s what any human being is to us, if we stop to consider it, even the old and the diseased, the downtrodden that one doesn’t really “see” in the street. They are all like that, like flowers ever in the process of opening, butterflies ever unfolding out of the cocoon.” – The Vampire Lestat [more here]
Louis POV: "I was watching the scene through the open door, enthralled with the colors of the counterpane and the positive riot of color in the old man’s face. His blue veins pulsed beneath his pink and grayish flesh. I found even the yellow of his teeth appealing to me; and I became almost hypnotized by the quivering of his lip.” – Interview with the Vampire [more here]
