^I am cry, just wanted to explain my lack of communication this past week, and what a week to be forced AWOL. The very week we’re hit w/ such massive news and I couldn’t be there for you! I’ve abandoned my ppl!

I’m making my way back to you, and will get to my inbox “asap as possible” (as Michael Scott would say, hehehe). 

In the meantime, my forced absence resulted in a short post-PL fic {Bad Connection} which was beta’d by @cloudsinvenice and @gairid, it has Daniel in it, so there’s that.

Explanation for my absence under the cut.

Last week, some images weren’t loading for me on ppl’s pages and archives (including my own, which I had initially assumed was the weird layout revert that tumblr had done to my blog and others; or an xkit malfunction), so after a little investigation, seems like my place of work has upped their blocking parameters *ugly cries* Welp, I thought, guess I’ll have to limit my tumbling to outside of work.

^Can’t do that, I was just sitting there on the sidelines watching all the stuff happen on my dash on my phone this week and just… by the time I get home I’m often too tired to do any more computering so… Listen, I am a sinner plz let me sin it is important for my productivity to be able to sin simultaneously. 

So for the time being, I’m going to try to deal with this limited tumbling until my place of work ups their blocking parameters further. We’ll burn that bridge when we come to it (as Louis would say, hehehe).

// EVERYONE IS HIGH @i-want-my-iwtv

getting high might improve things tbh

do lestat and louis actually date in the books this is a srs question pls answer

No, they don’t really date in canon *cries* You gotta read between the lines!

[^from Mad Magazine. Date night used to involve getting all dolled up, sharing a nice French “wine” and then pretending to eat dinner and this is where alot of my sense of humor originally came from btw]

They had a very intense and rocky beginning that seemed to skip over the dating phase directly to marriage, then parenting, and then the separation for around 100 years.

I wouldn’t say they “date” in canon in the conventional sense of the word. There are certain moments they have together like that heartbreaking little scene when they met the night before Lestat’s concert (TVL), and another time when Lestat drags Louis against his will to go pester David Talbot for the first time (QOTD) 😛

You might like my #Another typical night at the Rue Royale tag for some date-y stuff.

…But in a more general sense, they do sort of Netflix and chill together. From Tale of the Body Thief:

“It’s amazing how often he came to visit me in my overheated and brilliantly illuminated rooms downtown. There he watched my giant television screen for hours. Sometimes he brought his own films for it on disk or tape. The Company of Wolves, that was one which he watched over and over… There were many other films which delighted him. But these visits could never be commanded by me, and they never lasted very long. He often deplored the “rank materialism” in which I “wallowed” and turned his back on my velvet cushions and thickly carpeted floor, and lavish marble bath. He drifted off again, to his forlorn and vine-covered shack.”

Sadly, both Louis and Lestat don’t kiss and tell much when it comes to their romantic interactions. There’s alot of Lestat pining for Louis, bc (in the immortal words of @hyperbeeb#nobody ships Louis and Lestat harder than Lestat ships Louis and Lestat… 

You’d think, for one of the fandom’s main ships, there would be more of it explicitly canon. There just isn’t, sadly. Part of why it’s such a tough ship is that AR just does not let us have much in terms of fluff of them! It mostly happens off-screen. Which is where fanfic steps in to satisfy that need ;]

@i-want-my-iwtv​ blog turning 3 yrs old on 7/25/16!

[^X from my first post!]

From the fans who fell into VC since before my time, to the fresh blood (heh heh) who are just wading into it w/ us now, you’ve all made my tumblr experience so rich, I can’t even properly express how blown away I am on a daily basis how many of you send me such lovely messages and intriguing asks, and fanart, etc. and just… how, with your input, this blog has become the blog I wanted to find for all the years I searched for one. Thank you all for laying your affections w/ me over this pile of dysfunctional vampires!

So in the absence of a Follow Forever I’m doing a giveaway ^u^

I bought a few copies of VC books, and I will send them anywhere in the world as long as you have an address I can post snail mail to (and that you’re willing to share your address with me, of course!). The winners will be drawn randomly from ppl who reblog this post. 

  • 5 books up for winning: IWTV (gold hardcover), the Witching Hour (large paperback, it’s VC adjacent bc of the later crossover books), IWTV (paperback), TOBT (paperback w/ dual covers), Merrick (paperback). I may add a few more winnable things to this.
  • Winner also gets a personal handwritten message from me in the book or separately on a card. Winner specifies.
  • I will contact the winners here on tumblr, so keep your ask/chat open. If I cannot reach you in 48 hours, I will have to pick another winner :-
  • Only Reblogs will count as entries, and only one per blog counts.
  • No “giveaway” blogs can win. 
  • I will not be able to disburse tracking for the mail, sorries, but you can send me $ for it via paypal.
  • This giveaway ends July 29, 2016.

Thank you for again for validating my presence in the fandom here, sharing fanworks, headcanons, the RPers. You’re all wonderful and I feel lucky to have you following me!

*~*~*~*~Merci beaucoup and bonne chance!~*~*~*~*

I have mixed feelings about Lestat. Especially with his parenting skills. I think I prefer Louis, honestly. ~ Random Vampire.

Y’know tbqh Lestat had (1) a very finicky eater and then (2) made sort of a crime against nature so you can’t 100% blame his parenting skills. 

Oh and if you prefer Louis let’s not forget that all of Louis’ fledglings die.

mood: *cr1tikal voice* alright i guess ill go fuck myself then

Tumblr has done something and my theme is currently even crappier than before ;A; I apologize for the inconvenience. I might risk trashing the site by putting in the new HTML code sooner than I planned, so you might want to reblog things from me to save stuff just in case.
