That’s a good idea for a reason she walked out. But I did the math, under the cut, and POC women made up 19% (5 of 26) of the on-screen kills, that’s if she watched an entire hour to include all of them.
I bet the whole mess with Yvette was the actual tipping point. It’s just shy of 30 min into the movie.
I was going to do a post of just the kills, but it was getting to be wayyyy too long, so I just skimmed the whole movie and took a tally. 25 kills total.
– caucasian men: 5
– caucasian women: 7
– children (all were caucasian): 7
– POC women: 1
– POC men: 1
– possibly biracial women: 4
– possibly biracial men: 0
– person who dies during their shipping to Europe: 1
So I just nominated Louis in the FFA Woobie-Off. After some deliberation I nominated movie!Louis rather than book!Louis, because Brad Pitt’s tragic face clinched it, and also he just seems so much more passive in the movie. We must hope for him to beat all the other woobies:
Love?” I asked. “There was love between you and the vampire who made you?” I leaned forward.
“Yes,” he said. “A love so strong he couldn’t allow me to grow old and die. A love that waited patiently until I was strong enough to be born to darkness. Do you mean to tell me there was no bond or love between you and the vampire who made you?

Sorry to have reposted this one like 3x in the past week, but it needed correction, and the original is already out there on the internets. I added a link to this corrected one on that post, tho.
Also, I’m sorry to anyone that was offended. This is one case of social justice I agreed with.
Awwww *u* such high compliments! Much thank. Very appreciate. THIS IS FOR YOU bc u know they totally roleplay too:
gairid‘s headcanon is the inspiration for the shoes ;]
The short answer is:
Which includes RP. You wanna RP? DO IT. We can always use more canon (and OC!) VC characters. Join in! I’m so sporadic with it, I wish I could devote more time to RP than I do but I have this daily chore thing i do called a “job,” very time-consuming, really cuts into my fandom experience grrrrrr…
You want some more? Hit the jump.
Let’s do this in bullet points, shall we?
AR waged war on fanfic in the mid 90′s. It was ugly. It drove the fandom underground and made fanfic very hard to find. Frowny face D:
We try not to tag her in discussions of fanfic or RP, basically, we don’t try to provoke her by making our RP or caches of VC fanfic known. Especially on Facebook, where she’s very active and might see it (and let’s not send her any links to fanfic or RP, etc.)
She’s never seemed to have an issue with RP, specifically. Maybe bc it’s not full-blown fic, and is collaborative? Noone knows. Maybe she’s not aware of it.
On a side topic, she seems to enjoy some fanart, she’s even publicly said she loves garama‘s work (I don’t have the proof rn, but I remember it).
Currently, she doesn’t seem to have an issue with fanfic. She hasn’t made a negative public thing about it other than this:
“…in 2012, Metro reported that Rice has taken a milder stance on the issue: “I got upset about 20 years ago because I thought it would block me,” she said. “However, it’s been very easy to avoid reading any, so live and let live. If I were a young writer, I’d want to own my own ideas. But maybe fan fiction is a transitional phase: whatever gets you there, gets you there.” “
Anything else I have on this subject is in my #war on fanfic tag, and I do try to keep it updated (sometimes other things bleed into that tag, like the ebook-tree.com/.net massive shitstorm around 4/2015)
TL;DR: She seems to have mellowed over time about it, so we can do it, but, just fanwork & play responsibly ❤
It may not look like it, but I try not to get too offensive to her. As difficult as it can sometimes be, we have to admit she did create these characters that have brought us all together, for which I’m endlessly grateful.
ooc; I’ve received a ton of messages about this the past few weeks, so, no, y’all didn’t miss the stream. It got postponed due to schedule restraints. For that reason, here’s another big informative post regarding the stream that was postponed.
I will stream Interview with the Vampire on May 31 at 2PM CDT over at my channel.
There’s a chat on livestream, but we usually talk more on Skype, and the conversation always continues after the movie is done.
It’s basically tradition that we play Cards Against Humanity or Board Game Online after the movie.
Either shoot me your Skype or comment that you want in the Skype chat, and I’ll send you my Skype handle. (If you’re already on my Skype, just RSVP on this post or on Skype and I’ll get you on the list for the chat.)
You don’t need Skype to participate in the stream itself. Like I said, there’s a chat on my livestream page, but we usually just continue doing fun stuff on Skype afterwards and make it a fun fandom day.
Feel free to reblog this post. Everyone is invited.
|| I will take Antonio over creepy cherub guy trying way too hard to be 17 but looks 40 any day. I just pretend Antonio is Santino fucking with you.
I like the idea that it’s Santino fucking with us, hahaha.
I have such nostalgia for Antonio!Armand. Antonio doesn’t deserve the hate he gets for Armand, he did a great job, and brought a dark European hawtness to it. Check out my #Defending Antonio tag for legitimate ideas defending his casting.
In essence: if they had cast a cherubic teenage redhead (or older creepy cherub dude trying to look 17 *cough cough* movie!QotD *cough*) it might have been confusing to people who hadn’t read the books, and might have taken the sympathy away from Louis (who was supposed to remain the focus, it’s HIS story, after all). That would have been compromised by omg cute little redhead bby we want to snuggles you! <– If the person at least had the right appearance.
Let’s say it was an appeal to those who hadn’t read the book(s) … casting an Armand that they could understand more easily as being a more mature/father/teacher figure for Louis.
