To make this better, gonna take this as an excuse to bump some fanart, here are a few artists who draw LOTR and/or the Hobbit you should check out (in no particular order):
#yay!#I bet Louis loved Silmarillion most of all!#well in my head he did anyway#and I think Armand would be a fan of Melkor#as would Lestat if he bothered to read#feels#Lord of the Rings#J. R. R. Tolkien#Interview with the Vampire

Louis knows the LOTR trilogy by heart and he’s read all the books. He likes to try to sneak quotes in when possible:
The whole coven agrees that they’re all beautiful films, they’re modern classics in a way. The LOTR movies are watched more often at coven gatherings than the Hobbit movies, but more because of the story and characters than the cinematography Louis has a not-so-secret crush on Aragorn that everyone likes to tease him about!
Louis knows all kinds of obscure trivia, and has debates about them with Armand, who has also read them all. Lestat, feeling left out of these discussions, tried to read the books and fell asleep repeatedly. He mispronounced the names of characters and places a few times and refuses to try to read them again for fear of further ridicule.
Armand is very into the hobbits themselves as creatures and has gone to New Zealand with Daniel more than once to check out Hobbiton.
This post feels like someone out of the blue bought me something I’d wanted for a long time but had no money for.

Part I: The Coven Master, owner of the Théâtre des Vampires (1700s)
“[…]I saw a small figure appear. Compact it was, the figure of a young boy, not a man. […] And the creature was not human. […] His face was shining white, and perfect, the countenance of a god it seemed, a Cupid out of Caravaggio, seductive yet ethereal, with auburn hair and dark brown eyes.”
my mom asked why i don’t read as many books as i used to and i just said it was because i read a lot of unpublished stories from independent writers online and she thinks that’s very good of me to give undiscovered authors a chance
Glad that response clarified things and that you’re sticking with it. I really appreciate your followup message!
Just because you read something doesn’t mean you endorse it. When things get too squicky for me, I “eat around” them, like you’d eat around the bruised areas of a banana. A whole banana is not ruined by a few bruises for me, but I can understand and I don’t judge if it ruins it for others.
^Not sure why he only has one lens in, maybe those light ones made it hard to see? IDK WE MAY NEVER KNOW *cries* But in the novels, it was Armand’s idea to dress Lestat up for this trial, being overly glamorous emphasizes the sharp contrast between the clothes and his physical grossness, since Lestat was always so vain about his appearance ;A;
Claudia seems to be wearing the same dress in these shots. Headcanon: it’s the same night, and she cried herself to sleep in Louis’ arms after Lestat took over her piano lesson.
damn bro am i not cool enough?? lmao just kidding!
here are some blogs that reblog a bunch of iwtv stuff. i’m not sure about the others, but the first two make gifsets, sometimes photosets, text posts etc 🙂
I actually don’t really track any tags *embarassment* I tracked #vampire chronicles when I started out here but there’s too much in that tag for me to keep up with. Same with all the character names 😛
But! Your ask has inspired me to track these tags below, and I encourage others to use them, respectfully:
#VC fandom love – for those moments when the fandom is extending positivity and other happy messages ❤ If you haven’t sent one in awhile, do the thing! Send it anon if you’re shy.
#VC fandom hunters– for those seeking others to connect with in the fandom.
#Free VC Advertising/ #VC Free Advertising– this is for when someone has inspired you to buy/read the books in the series, or watch/buy the movies that have been made, basically, reasons why a blog has actually promoted the material.
^Why does this matter? Because fanworks and discussion are sometimes blamed for decreasing consumer interest in a given copyrighted work, and if someone has encouraged your interest in the
copyrighted work, it was essentially *~FREE ADVERTISING,~* which is the OPPOSITE of “decreasing consumer interest.” Good defense.
(You can also tag me as #iwantmyiwtv,
#i want my iwtv, and #i-want-my-iwtv, I track those and check sometimes.)
I-want-my-IWTV
