^idk if this is a real Mick Jagger quote but I bet Lestat would say smtg similar.
I don’t know much about Mick Jagger as a person other than some familiarity w/ his music and stuff*, but I definitely think Lestat would have a similar stage thing going on, the rockstar behavior, the fashion would be compatible (Lestat will forever mourn the fact that he missed out on the fashion of the 60′s and 70′s), Lestat would be impressed at the length of Mick’s… career (what did you think I was gonna write?!), and I do think Lestat would dig the logo, except, y’know, he’d add the fangs:
*idk if there’s anything problematic with Mick, please don’t jump on me about that, bc I don’t know, I’m only speaking to his stage persona.
So awhile back I had a giveaway post and STILL have not filled that giveaway bc it became a larger giveaway… Here’s the progress so far. Ya like? It will be worth the wait!
Hit the jump for more info including how the embossing works it is so cool!
As you may be aware I wanted to include postcards and so I asked @ashetray if I could use their fanart for that, which I had commissioned, so that was all good but then I wanted to add my i-want-my-iwtv flair on there somehow. Adding a gold foil logo seemed like a good idea but those are so expensive! Printers start at $400 for this fancy shit.
Manual gold embossing is much more cost effective, just get a stamp of your design (mine was $35), the embossing powder ($10 I think?), the heat gun ($25), and the embossing ink ($6, but you can use any color ink).
1. Supplies. 2. getting the embossing ink on tha stamp.
3. Embossing ink comes out almost clear. 4. Dump that embossing powder!
5. Really cover that sucker, 6. and then roll the paper so the powder collects so you can dump it back in the container bc it’s still perfectly usable.
7. The powder stuck to the ink! MAGIC. 8. BLAST THAT SUCKER W/ THE HEAT GUN.
No you are not the dumbest person in this fandom nonono! It’s visually very similar on purpose ;]
I brainstormed for this url alot, my blog was inspired by vampchronfic and vampire-chronicles-appreciation, so I wanted VC represented in the url prominently. I realized that “VC” rhymes w/ the “I want my MTV” slogan that MTV had in the 90s (and 80s), but “I-want-my-VC” didn’t quite flow right. “IWTV” had a better letter combination and here is a gif of the versions of the design process bc of reasons
The real question is, do ppl even remember that “I want my MTV” slogan? BC I DO. I guess I could change my url if I had to, but it would be tough to beat this.

2. What is your middle name?
DANGER. No. It’s *~Dorothy~*
3. If you could own a fairytale/fictional pet, what would it be?
I probly can’t get away with “vampire” for this one, since they probably make terrible pets… Cat-sized unicorn. Not very rational here, I should choose like the Golden Goose for infinite money, shouldn’t I? Okay, Golden Goose.
4. Favorite color? Depends on my mooooood but iridescence always catches my eye, especially in oily rain puddles.
Vampire Chronicles is my enduring addiction. Getting into the Avengers somewhat. Other than that, Real Life.
7. Why do you love tumblr? Fanworks and meta and such and so.
8. Tag your tumblr crushes! They answer the questions too.
I don’t wanna play favorites/crushes! I’m gonna tag some lovely people I’ve seen (or haven’t seen!) in my activity feed (this is a small sample; I appreciate you all! You keep my crazy blog alive!)(in NO particular order, and these are not necessarily even following me):
