Awww, that’s correct, I do love knowing this! Your bio says you’re a Criminology major, that’s so cool! Now I know who to go to for planning the perfect crime(s).
You didn’t ask for this but here it goes: I was under 17 when movie!IWTV first came out on VHS
(yes I’m that old), I was around 11. I’d read several of the first books, and I wanted that movie BADLY. I coordinated a school friend to get it for me, like contraband, I had to sneak that VHS tape into my house, immediately stripped it of its labels, saved them with my little binder of articles I collected at the time about the movie, and relabeled the tape “Forrest Gump” so that my parents wouldn’t know I had it. Thankfully they never asked to borrow my copy of that movie! That was probably what I considered my best purchase ever, at the time. I watched it when I was home alone now and then, and I’d bring it over to a few friends’ houses, where we’d try to say the lines along with the movie, so that battered old tape really meant a lot to me. It’s where my nostalgia for the movie was born, so as problematic as it is, I have so much affection for it.
Obviously, there was a Forbidden Fruit quality to that, hiding it like I did, and the fact that I wasn’t allowed to watch it, made me want it that much more!
Lestat probably doesn’t like that movie!IWTV is so popular, he’d rather ppl moved on to his book… [digging up an oldie from the archive for ya:]
This very much did brighten my day! You did well for our fandom ❤
The tsunami of fresh blood in our fandom is just, so heartwarming. I’m loving the fanart, the cosplay, there’s plenty of new fic, it’s awesome. Netflix has IWTV and QOTD up, so I think some ppl are seeing it there for the first time, there’s also the new book recently out…
I dug around in my memes for something special to give you for leading those two young twenty-somethings dressed in elegant business casual to the books, and this doesn’t entirely match up, but it spoke to me as wanting to be posted in response, so have this!:
In response to a number of political things happening in the Real World that I don’t post about here but I think about… and that this response will continue to be necessary for, probably.
Wow more relevant 2 yrs after original posting. *sigh*
New Loustat playlist for anyone experiencing feels for these sad sad drama queens. I put a /slight/ degree of effort into the track order, so if you can, listen off-shuffle…themes and feel should maybe kind of follow the story of IWTV if you listen real careful that way~~~Enjoy!
