It’s from this scene in an ep of Parks & Recreation. Other fandoms had taken that dialogue and so it fell to me to bring it into the VC fandom ^_____^
Ahhhh I love your blogggggg! I’ve been in stitches going through your memey-things tag. XD I’ve only recently read up through Tale of the Body Thief, but I’ve been a big fan of Interview With the Vampire in particular for years. It’s kind of an older one, but I thought I’d share a piece of my art with you. Hope you enjoy it!
AsdFGhulds!!1 I love it when this happens. I’VE SEEN YOUR FANART BEFORE, you should know that YOU, yes you, are partially responsible for inspiring this tumblr.
Ok well FIRST OF ALL – I had seen that fanart before – at least 1 year ago – on DA before I even started this tumblr and I still think it’s hilarious, and I had already posted it here (not knowing you had a tumblr)!! It also inspired one of my early memeythings ❤
That one and a few other VC Rage Comics are here, tagged #vc rage. I made a few of ‘em too ;]
Secondly, you love my blog & my memeythings awwww: that’s the reaction I go for! Much appreciate, much flattered.
Clearly I am also a fan of IWTV.
TL;DR: Please make more fanart/vc rage/etc., if you are so inspired bc I am a fan of YOU.
♛Beth! Beth. You have been very good.
As I am a student of the savage garden, there are no walls to my classrooms, there are limitless teachers, other classmates, group projects well sometimes I assign work to David because it does make him feel useful, aside from being my punching bag. However, I am tested. Often. And not always in the manner or at the time I would prefer *snorts*
Merci, cherie, consider your love passed onto the coven, they are always flattered although they try not to show it that my adoring fans care for their well-being, too!
♛Your gift is a stroll along the East river in New York City, a flight up to the top of the Brooklyn Bridge to gaze upon the twinkling lights of one of my favorite cities in the world.
And a lifetime subscription to Cat Fancy, because you have cats!
♛As for your self discovery, that is wonderful! Does it feel as if a weight is being lifted? Asexuality is a very real orientation. After Louis’ book, many people asked Anne Rice our ghostwriter whether we were asexual as if it was a bad thing. Not just Louis and myself, but all vampires. The term is very specific… and I am certain that I have mentioned that certain features no longer “work” the same way after we are turned.
I defy definition as always. You may consider us asexual if it helps you.
I can tell you that whatever your definition of sex is (and it can be so much more than merely penetration), love is absolutely possible, nay, necessary. I am just realizing now that my search for goodness, doing good… these things are deeply rooted in a desire to be praised, but more than that, to be loved. Isn’t that what we all want? That first love you feel for your mother/parent is without language, it’s that simple.
Sex itself is an act of closeness, of allowing oneself to be vulnerable to another, to nurturing and satisfying that other person(s) (hey, there can be more than 2!). There’s a spectrum in that. You can be vulnerable and nurturing to others outside of sex, too.

Well, I can not answer questions in the book about Anne Rice’s vampires, as that is copyrighted stuff right there, but you are more than welcome to ask me anything you want. Though I am not an expert in Anne Rice’s vampires. If you want to talk to an expert, I would turn you towards i-want-my-iwtv.
And as for the science behind burning in the sun, well, the first vampire to actually be effected by the sunlight to the point of death was Count Orlok in Nosferatu. The reason he disappears in the sun was to avoid copyright infringement on the ending of Dracula. So historically speaking, there is no lore to suggest that vampires would actually burn in the sun. In Dracula his powers were weakened but he did not burn. I think the main idea that vampires hunted at night is because humans slept at night, which left hours of mystery around what happened in the dark. If someone died in the night, or got sick in the night, they had no clue what caused it. It was much easier to think a creature from beyond the grave did it because the darkness is scary and science was lacking.
But if we want to say sure, vampires burn in the sun, we have to think “why?” The first reason might be the same reason I burn in the sun. They are pale. Pale people burn in the sun. Another reason could be because they are damned, and as such are not allowed to live in the illumination of God. God created light, after all. And if you think about it, Lucifer is known as the Morning Star, so it makes sense that vampires would have to live under the light of the stars.
Hope that answers your question for now! I will go into further detail in the book.
^Excellent explanation askavampirologist.
I have a tag for that (#vampire physiology), which includes Ricean and non-Ricean vampire phys. discussion bc it intrigues me, too! Always feel free to send me these questions 😀
I think that above explanation works for the Ricean vampires. Something to do with the amount of melatonin in the skin that protects humans (well even pale humans prefer to wear sunscreen!) that is lacking in even dark-skinned vampires. Plus:
The religious aspect works, too, in that they should not be allowed to enjoy the sunlit world anymore, but not all Ricean vampires believe in the same god or even in any god at all.
Bless this family.
I WANT PANCAKES WHERES THE LADY WHO MAKES PANCAKES?
^THIS. omg. Why doesn’t this have a bazillion notes? It really should.
Can someone explain why Daniel Tosh was dressed as Louis de Pointe du Lac for tonight’s (5/27/14, Season 6 Ep. 15) of Tosh.0? I just happened upon it when it was nearly over and well… there you have it.
Update: Thanks u internet (skeletalroses and iron-crucifix) which explained me a thing! See the notes for explanation.
