Using anon’s question about your header as an opportunity, I’ve always wanted to let you know: The visual identity of your blog is so well thought. I love it.
THANK YOU SO MUCH but Really?! You love the blog’s visual identity? That is very generous of you and much appreciated.
However, a massive revamp (pun intended har har) of this blog is in the works. If I may be self-deprecative for a moment, I’ve looked at it for over 2 years, so hit the jump for a list of what assaults my eyeballs when I look at this blog now.
The logo is safe, feedback already received on that, and the content will still be what you’ve come here for ^______^ The mission statement is still “Bursting blood vessels through fanworks!” But OVERALL it needs a more harmonized style, a touch of maturity in the color scheme, bc this thing has changed me. I’m not the same person who started this thing as mainly a cloud storage for the fanart I’ve collected. It’s grown into smtg so so much richer than that *u*
Fortunately, my longest RL VC friend (can you believe she has tolerated me for 20+ years?? She is my sister from another mister) is a programmer and she is gonna hold my hand through the process.
Stuff that assaults my eyes:
- The layout of the tiles,
- not enough tiles,
- the Like and Reblog buttons. I don’t like them as text. I think I want to make them the familiar symbols. And larger.
- the color scheme… I am kind of sick of slate-grays and purples 😛
- too many font colors…
- the difficulty of reading the text against the individual post BGs…
- the current bloodied-wall/distressed-velvet background. It’s not grunge, it’s too high-contrast, it’s an assault 😛
- Could think of more, but that’s the worst of it, for now.
After wondering for months why the header on your blog says MTV, I just realised that it doesn’t. Dumbest person in this fandom or what?
No you are not the dumbest person in this fandom nonono! It’s visually very similar on purpose ;]
I brainstormed for this url alot, my blog was inspired by vampchronfic and vampire-chronicles-appreciation, so I wanted VC represented in the url prominently. I realized that “VC” rhymes w/ the “I want my MTV” slogan that MTV had in the 90s (and 80s), but “I-want-my-VC” didn’t quite flow right. “IWTV” had a better letter combination and here is a gif of the versions of the design process bc of reasons
The real question is, do ppl even remember that “I want my MTV” slogan? BC I DO. I guess I could change my url if I had to, but it would be tough to beat this.
Dear sweet baby Jesus! where was this blog all my life? Bless you, I love you, I barely stumbled last night on your blog. Again, I’m going to sound like a cray-cray but with so few and scattered blogs and news about the Vampire Chronicles you’re like my ray of sunshine in the middle of a dark and endless night. And I found so many posts, reblogs, opinions, IC material on Nicolas <3 I don't have any question for now, I'm just happy to have found this blog!
Awwww thank u so much! What a lovely poetic thing to tell me ❤
I try to make this thing what I would have wanted to find when I was 15 and couldn’t find the fanworks, the good screencaps, the whole fandom experience. Notes like yours let me know the mission is being accomplished ;]

A Nicolas lover, hm? YOU ARE JUST IN TIME for my latest VC casting choice for him, and other ppl might not agree but whatever: Benedict Samuel was so great in The Walking Dead mid-season premiere this past wknd, he’s so Nicki!
Hit the jump for a little moar re: Benedict Samuel.
He has everything I’m looking for in a Nicolas: the right age, brooding, sassyness, vulnerability, big loving eyes, cruel and sweet humor, and he can phase between all these so quickly. The acting seems to come from a deep understanding of his character’s motivations and emotional turbulence, waves overlapping the emotional palette.
Which can’t all be captured in one gif, especially from the limited gif options out there. So here’s one in which he’s obviously holding back from doing smtg, holding back the cynical comment that could destroy a room, hiding his vast darkness from whoever’s in a 5 mile radius. Getting dressed to go against his will present the Marquis’ son w/ new boots and the red velvet cloak as payment for ridding their town of the wolf pack that was threatening everyone.
This shot below is from The Walking Dead, but it also looks like that one time Lestat used telekinesis on Nicki in TVL, slamming him into the wall with an invisible fist, neither of them knowing what he’d done, or how it happened, in their old dressing room at Renaud’s, soon to be the Theatre des Vampires.
The only real question is, can he play violin? Can he learn?
182.88…uhm–so it’s like 183cm…? °v°
^Re: Lestat’s height is 6 feet = 182.88 cm, so yeah, round up to 183 if you like *u*
Here, have a little cut footage, from the trailer, bc of reasons.
Also, with Sebastian!Nicolas we can have ChrisEvans!Lestat too?He would fit the role kinda good. Or even as a flashback Marius(like he is 40 but a little flashback about his and Pandora’s first meeting)
Chris Evans I see more as Daniel Molloy, don’t you think? Yeah, he has a Roman enough face/build for a young Marius but Marius is not likely to get a movie before Lestat does.
But hey, I wouldn’t stand in the way of Evans doing a screen test as Lestat *u* He is almost too muscular for my taste, but I’ll deal with it, somehow, lol.
This photoshoot by Tony Duran for Flaunt Magazine in 2004 was so Daniel to me:
1: “What fresh hell are we putting me through tonight Armand?”
Two more under the cut.
2: “What am I doing? I’m taking polaroids of you that’s what I’m doing now pose, you demon. I posed for you.”
3. “I’m exhausted Armand, it’s 4 am, so either pump me full of more caffeine or or smtg better ffs”

When he’s grateful for your gift:
Gaspard Ulliel and Raphaël Personnaz in La princesse de Montpensier (2010)
So apparently I will have to watch this movie bc I just saw Mr. Personnaz on my dash earlier today and thought, “hmmmm, Nicolas de Lenfent?” and then this gif w/ him + in period costume + a shirtless long-haired Gaspard Ulliel (who I have mentioned as an option for Lestat de Lioncourt) + they appear to be in bed together and well… you do the math.
I was talking w/ @takemetocoffin-or-losemeforever about this scene from Far and Away (1992), another fave movie of mine (and they pulled this gif for me!). Joseph Donnelly (Cruise), similarly to Lestat, has 2 older brothers that we hardly get any information about except their antagonization of him, and a father who we only see as an invalid, IIRC. Look at the bro on the left, just waiting for the cue to start throwing punches. Like Lestat, Joseph runs away to a more promising land (‘MURICA) and deals w/ a whole bunch of awful reality there, too, but it all has a happy ending bc PERSERVERANCE. There is probably a lot more of a comparison to be made but I’ll leave it at that for now.
I love this line especially bc rather than engage w/ their taunting that he’s such a fuckup, he makes a suggestion to improve them well it’s throwing the poor innocent goat under the bus but oh well. Such a positive influence!
Bullies are everywhere, even in our own families, and you don’t have to engage w/ it. Be original! Come up with a better response to it! Try not to suggest bestiality, though. That’s not nice.
Is this the right way for the mistletoe kissing-thing? You deserve more than only one kiss !!! ;-) 💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋
♛Merci beaucoup, ten kisses! I accept them all under the condition that nine are different types, and the tenth is the kiss I must have a repeat experience of.
((ooc; sorry this is super late, and not sure if it was meant for mun or muse, but he jumped on the response sooo… but thank u! Much appreciate))
