Hello all, thank you to all the Santas who submitted their gifts!
We have a few outstanding gifts still, sorry if you haven’t received yours yet. We will try to get those gifts delivered ASAP!
(If you volunteered to do an extra gift, we may be reaching out to you to ask you to sub in for a flake Santa)(Apologies again to those who didn’t receive gifts, we sent plenty of reminders, and VC Santas are still human, not actually the real Santa, who wouldn’t dare to be so naughty!)
[Anon refers to this post] Oh gosh, I’m sorry to burst your bubble, but Festivus is not a real holiday! But it is endearing, and I think there are ppl who practice it anyway.
Wiki explains it better than I can, and you really should try to watch the
Seinfeld
episode about it:
Festivus is a secular holiday celebrated on December 23 as an alternative to the pressures and commercialism of the Christmas season. Originally a family tradition of scriptwriter Dan O’Keefe, who worked on the American sitcom Seinfeld, Festivus entered popular culture after it was made the focus of the 1997 episode “The Strike.”
The customary practices are:
1) Festivus pole 2) Festivus dinner 3) Airing of Grievances
4) Feats of Strength 5) Festivus miracles
And I would love to see a VC fic/fanart with any of that involved 😉
Well, given that she’s not in their lives now, and there is some canon that they’re a ship, I would say yes. Louis still would have stayed with Lestat, he was the only vampire Louis knew. Although he did threaten to leave Lestat before Claudia appeared, I doubt he would have followed through with that.
Are childless couples any less committed to each other because they never had a child? Or couples who have lost a child, does that destroy the relationship they had that existed before the child was there? I don’t think so.
Kids can heal a relationship, or strain it, it’s all in the chemistry of the parents and kids involved. Claudia did bind Louis to Lestat for a time, and then she drove a wedge between them. Maybe if she hadn’t been brought into their lives, they might have been better off ;A; She got rather pointy near the end…
