Are you ticklish? If you are I’m totally going to tickle you. If Louis is ticklish that I might just tickle him instead. After all he is my favorite vampire out of all the vampires in the VC.

♛I’ll confess that I am very ticklish, when I’m in the mood for it. More so when I was a child. My nurse, who you’d call a “babysitter” now, or a “minder,” I suppose… an older villager with limited energy, she would shuffle after me down the halls of the castle, I’d let her catch me up and reduce me to a painful amount of giggling on the floor. She wasn’t satisfied until we were both hoarse from laughter!

Anon, let me be very clear: my defensive reflexes are too fast for a mortal to get to those sensitive areas, unless I’m already compromised… with sufficiently adulterated beverage. You’ll have to find me somewhere in that state if you hope to accomplish this little mission of yours *winks* and then there’s the added mystery of where those areas are since I’m not telling you *smirks*

Louis is your favorite? I’d be offended but that we have that in common, he’s my favorite, too. Getting Louis into full-blown laughter is a real challenge. More of a mental game than a physical one, but I’ll use anything at my disposal to make it happen when the moment is ripe. Protip: he is not physically ticklish unless he is warm and well-fed, and already in a pleasant mood. The difficulty is that much of his pleasure is experienced inwardly.

One of the best and cheapest tactics to get Louis to laugh audibly is the simplicity of a staring contest. He can’t help it. No need to announce when the contest begins, just set yourself up comfortably before him and begin staring. He can’t resist the challenge. Even from mortals.

Baby-Doll
Batman: The Animated Series

This is one criminally underrated Batman villain.

SERIOUSLY THOUGH SHE WAS MY FAVORITE BATMAN VILLAIN

Her physical condition didn’t allow her to age

No one took her seriously as an actress

And even when she was trying to get into a happy romantic relationship (albeit with another villain) he still couldn’t take her seriously as a consenting, sexually active and romantically interested adult

That’s a lot of blows to someone’s psyche 

and Babydoll is both a sympathetic villain and a formidable one

I remember this episode fucked me up a a kid. 

And man, do I wish we could see this Batman again: the Batman that consoles his villains, because the majority (if not all) of them are mentally ill people. And Batman knows this and wants them healthy again, not punished and GOD definitely not dead.

Baby Doll is so underrated as a Batman villain 

but her episode was perfect 

Batman: The Animated Series

The story of one fucked up, traumatized little boy, doing his best to help other fucked up traumatized people.

#this show is the only batcanon that matters to me #dc can burn everything else down but they’ll never pry the dcau from cold dead clawed hands

The Batman that cares about the inmates is my favorite. He doesn’t put up with their shit, but he does try to reach out here and there and he’s as human as he can be to them.

When Harley was re-institutionalized, he got her that dress she wanted.

In the comics based on B:tAS, there was a time during Christmas that there was snow and it was Mr. Freeze’s fault, and he was making it snow because Christmas was his anniversary with Nora and she LOVED it when it snowed on Christmas, so Batman let him finish mourning before calmly taking him back to Arkham.

He never, ever gives up on Harvey possibly recovering.

Sure, Batman is going to throw punches and do what it takes to take these guys down when they’re hurting or threatening people. And he’s not going be a complete bleeding heart; he has to protect the innocent. He’s going to take them down and take them back to Arkham, but it doesn’t mean he’s incapable of being a bit human to the ones who deserve it.

Batman needs become human again

Because it needs to be here:

*Humming the JAWS theme*

^Cut scene bit! From the trailer! 

Hey ppl, just wanted to let u know: I have been working on a stamp for the logo of my website, it’s going to be hella cool, and once it’s done, I can send out all the Giveaway goodies I awarded, stamped with my logo on the inside! It’ll be worth the wait. 

Secondly, I have old Asks, I know, and I’ll do them, but some just take more thought, y’know? Slows me down when you ask about the whole group, btw. Individual character Asks are easier. Your patience will be rewarded.* 

Unless you sent me a casting idea, and didn’t see a reply on it, chances are I disagreed and couldn’t think of an alternate VC role for your suggestion 😛 Those and excessively trolly Asks are deleted. I can usually handle a certain level of trolliness.

I’m reading Armand for the first time, and I’m sorry, but at almost 200 pages in, I have to ask—does it ever become not a porno?

[X] Well there’s fighting, which usually is not part of a porno? There’s a lot of pain and misery on its way to balance out all that smut ;]

After the second journey, [Marius] came home weary and uncommonly sad. He said, as he
had said once before, that “Those Who Must Be Kept” seemed to be at peace. 

“I hate it what these creatures are!” I said. 

“No, never say such a thing to me, Amadeo!” he burst out. In a flash I’d seen him
more angry and uncomposed than ever in our lives. I’m not sure I’d ever seen him
really angry in our lives. 

He approached me and I shrank back, actually afraid. But by the time he struck me,
hard across the face, he’d recovered himself, and it was just the usual brain-jarring
blow. 

I accepted it, and then threw him one exasperated searing glance. “You act like a
child,” I said, “a child playing Master, and so I must master my feelings and put up
with this.“ 

Of course it took all my reserves to say this, especially when my head was swimming,
and I made my face such an obdurate mask of contempt that suddenly he burst out
laughing. 

I started to laugh too.

^Could they have really lasted as a ship if not for what separated them? Idk really but they are like many VC ships, beautiful and

beautifully dysfunctional.

Hey, I really really Love your Tumblr !!! 😍😍😍 i read all The Books of the vampire chronicles and watch all movies ❤️ i’am really happy that i find you here because The fanbase of this Great Chronicles is Now so small 😢 i Hope you Never stop doing this amazing tumblr Page ☺️❤️ thank you 😘 (sorry for my Bad englisch 😅)

Awww merci beaucoup! I’m stuck in this fandom for life *laughcries* Your English is good enough, I understood your message ^_____^

The VC fandom is not so small as everyone thought it was! It was in hiding, and now we’re all coming out, and there’s all this fresh blood bc of the new books and the new movie adaptations and hopefully they will be a lot more true to the canon than movie!QOTD WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE!

As someone who studies jewellery and silversmithing (first year, so I’m no expert. yet :D) I think it’s unlikely to make one as detailed as Lestat’s and yet keep it at reasonable price. The design is very filigree indeed. But I’ll keep this in mind for next year’s workshop time, and let you know if I come up with something. (Also, in what way is yours fragile? Pewter generally is quite study.)

OMG A JEWELRY PERSON! [re: Lestat’s thumb ring] This was exactly what I was hoping for, that a jewelry person would see that post! I want to take hot jewelry classes so bad omg

(I can do coldworking w/ beads and wire, might try to sell those here at some point).

image

It could be done with moldmaking. You’d make a master ring with all the filligree detail (tbh idk how filligree is applied) and then cast copies of it in an affordable but durable metal. Maybe mine isn’t pewter, that’s what I thought it was, like those little figurines you get at Renaissance Faires… (like the dragon here) but if pewter is strong, then mine might not be pewter bc it has at least one hairline crack in it as you can seeee 😛 

image

Yes, keep it in mind for next year’s workshop, message me privately, I could help come up w/ a design that might be easier to make. Like I said, I headcanon that Lestat has a lot of these, so it doesn’t need to be identical to the one in the movie ^______^

♛Salut Lestat! I have been invited to a theatre party to meet some new cast members of a play I’m in and I’m so excited! Any advice on how to absolutely exude confidence while also having fun, seeing as you are so fabulous yourself? :) (lady anon btw!)

♛Bon soir, mademoiselle…. How jealous am I of your upcoming theatre soirée? It is the appetizer for the actual performance you’re part of, so in a word: Very. I miss the stage. I ache for the spotlights! I miss being part of a cast, and all the bonding and trusting that go along with it.

I’ll tell you what I told Louis all those years ago, as obvious as it sounds, it must be said: Don’t overthink things. He really did for a long time there, focusing on the mechanics of interactions and trying to come prepared with lines *hand waves* it was all totally unnecessary. Most people are already in a convivial enough mood at these gatherings, more so if they’re given enough sugar or alcohol, all you need do is go with the flow.

This must also be said: Please do not wear jeans. Even if everyone else is. You will stand out as taking it all a little more seriously in a skirt, dress, or really, anything other than jeans. What, are we all farmhands now? I look down the street and I see all these torn jeans, people pay extra for them to be “pre-distressed.” Please. 

(Alright, I buy them like that, too, but I have to blend in! It’s part of the costume to fit in with you people.)

And if you find yourself not engaged in conversation with anyone, that’s fine. It’s sometimes to my benefit to withdraw from these groups to recharge for a moment (to grab a quick drink, you know…).

With the ‘exuding confidence’ part, since you are a practitioner of the theatre, here are a few points that helped me in the beginning:

Walk as if you are leaving melted gold wherever you go. Touch things, like your glass, as if your hands have the same effect. Gently but with intention. Focus your energy and attention on whoever you’re with, but know that you are glowing, even when you are simply listening. Theatre people love to talk, so just listening can have a lot of impact on them.

It’s always good to attend these gatherings with someone you are already close to, I do love dragging Louis or David around with me, but don’t tie yourself down to them. You can break away from them and then rejoin them throughout the evening. 

Find something to compliment one of these new cast members on; jewelry is a good thing, people usually have stories attached to those items. Or a piercing that you find intriguing! Ask if it hurt, they’ll probably give you their reason for doing it, too. 

If you follow that advice, it won’t fail to be a fun experience.

Gather stories from the new cast members.

Treat it like a kind of performance, is what I’m saying!
