I know who “Mater” is but why are they called that?

It’s short for Mater Glorioso, Latin for “Glorious Mother.” Not sure who or when first coined the term, but it’s the VC fandom’s loving and sarcastic way of paying tribute to the creator of the VC. 

There’s a hilarious, though inactive, parody blog for her called anne-christ, the archive is worth checking out!

PERFECTION

TRUTH: Did you pursue Louis because you actually cared for /him/ alone, or was it more because of his relationship with Lestat, and what you might extract from him about that? Or another reason?

Put “Truth” in my ask box followed by a question, no matter what I’ll have to answer it

I must confess that at first, Lestat what was led me to Louis. My curiosity for Lestat had always been deep and I wanted to know everything about him, and then Louis entered my life as well. After meeting him my interest for Louis alone grew inexplicably, or maybe it wasn’t such a surprise: he was beautiful and deep, I couldn’t help loving him.

Magnus as the Phantom.

Who would be Christine? *thinks*

Okay, so my boyfriend thinks Lestat would be Raoul (dashing hero, bit hot-headed) and Claudia should be Christine… only she’d sing Shirley Temple songs.

Claudia as Christine…There’s a scary, yet very fitting, thought.

Should we have Marius as the Phantom? Only he wouldn’t wear a mask – He’d refuse to hide all that beauty.

Alright, wait, in retrospect Claudia as Christine would be kick-ass. There wouldn’t be any of the “Oh, I think I’m in love with the Phantom,” quivering. She’d choose him, kick his ass, and make him her own. Claudia takes no prisoners.

It’s funny you should say that, because my boyfriend just made this photoshop of Louis as the phantom… and of course, Claudia has that moment in IWTV where she says that Louis had to live, rather than Lestat, because he’d be the more controllable of the two…
