I love how active this blog is. I love how active this fandom is. It makes my heart warm

Awww, thank you! That’s very kind of you. (I was hoarding this ask for a few days, sorry for the delay in reply.)

It warms my heart to see the fandom active, too! It’s always been waves of more or less engagement, but recently there does seem to be something of a renaissance. If the VCTV series happens, we’ll probably have even more engagement!

#InktoberVC and the @vcsecretgifts exchange both stimulated great fanworks, I’m planning on setting aside a chunk of time to go through and reblog those Dec. gifts here (I haven’t had a chance to read all the fics yet!) ❤ I’m hoping that more calls for fanworks get rolling in 2018, too, and I’ll make an effort to promote them. We can’t wait 9 months until the next #InktoberVC ;D

In this world in a time when we’re on the brink of nuclear war bc of reasons I can’t attempt to tackle on a blog for entertainment and there are people in power tirelessly dedicated to stripping away our rights one by one, people

determined to widen the class divide, people dehumanizing other real life people, and there is unpunished crime on a daily basis, I come here for an escape and to offer the same to anyone who likes this blog. 

I hope 2018 is a better year for all of us, online and offline, Anon. *hugs*

So I’ve only been in the fandom a short while (about two months- 5 books in though, little slow for me but whatever) but I followed you relatively early on and for the life of me idk why but I never remember that I followed you so I’m always like “ooh, VC stuff, nice! Let me follow them…… oh. Right”

[Give us some of your first impressions, who are your faves? What are your ships? And um, excuse u, 5 books in 2 months when you have Real Life, too, that’s not slow to me, heck, when I reread just one of these books it takes me at least 2 months, squeezing it into my “Copious Amounts of Free Time” and I hope this blog isn’t spoiling you too much, if spoiling bothers you I frickin’ love being spoiled, myself). 

Awwww thank u! What a lovely thing to tell me. Welcome to our little corner of tumblrland mmmm fresh blood….

So I try to keep this thing purely VC, and I have my self-imposed post limit, so I think for A LOT of my followers, they probably are like you, and see a post from me, and go, “Oooh a VC blog, I should foll- oh yeah, I already follow it!” Sometimes I even see smtg reblogged from me on my own dash and I go, “Oooh! New VC fanart! I should reblo- I ALREADY REBLOBBED IT!” 

I used to have a rule about reblogging stuff only once so I wouldn’t have duplicates in my archive, but the audience changes, there’s tons of new ppl out on tumblr every year, so WHY THE HECK keep some awesome fanart from their dash just bc I reblogged it 2 years ago??! So I reblob stuff from my own archive sometimes, usually when I’m in there looking for smtg else and I find an old fave that PPL SHOULD SEE! ❤

BTW if you want some more VC stuff, we recently did a @vcsecretgifts, that archive has a bunch of VC fanworks in it and you can find more VC blogs that way ;D

I didn’t offer the option of sending messages to Santa Lestat this year, sorry about that. Might bring him back next year. 

My Ask Lestat muse has been a little awol these days, but I sense him coming back soon!

Samhain Marius for Samhain?
Happy Halloween!~ 🎃

My human death was long finished, I was ravenous, and surely my face was no more than a living skull. No doubt my eyes were bulging from their sockets, and my teeth were bared. The white robe hung on me as on a skeleton. And no clearer evidence of my divinity could have been given to the Druids, who stood awestruck as I came out of the tree. […]
The voices were singing in concert around me as the priests placed the flowers in my hair, on my shoulders, at my feet.
