I “met” Lestat for the first time during my third year of high school and there was the twilight-hype everywhere so all my classmates where like: “read twilight read twilight!) xD I had never thought of reading something vampires-related because I’ve never been an horror fan (better, I can’t read horror because I am afraid of almost everything…especially clowns, but this is another story~) and I had always associated vampires with this genre. Buut I was veeery curious to find out more about these fantasy creatures (I love fantasy! ♡), but Twilight was not at all my cup of tea! so I started browsing in my usual bookshoop and then I found…it: “interview with the vampire”! I remember that I thought: “this title is cool!”, although I expected something like an essay about vampires in literature in the form of an interview (I expected to receive answers on vampires mythology by Louis…now it seems a bit hilarious since he’s always whining about not having a clue xD), but I was not disappointed at all by the actual book *-* and then…it was a marathon of the whole series in a summer and I also saw the movie (and I also made my friends watch it, but not all of them appreciated it …ppst: the Italian dubbing is very good for this one!).
My favourite character at first was Louis (aah the charm of the good and tormented guy!), but then I fell in love with Lestat when I read “the vampire lestat” (“Scelti dalle tenebre”/“Chosen by darkness” in Italian)…very traditional story I guess xD! I love his endless love for life :3 (and I ship him hard with nicki and louis of course u.u). Moreover, I felt really near him in because of some similar thoughts I had in that period of my life, and the part of human-lestat always moves me ;__;
I also like Louis, Gabrielle and David Talbot 🙂 but in general I like them all (well…except Dora *hem hem*).
I’ve also read the mummy and angel time (here only “angel”) but not all anne rice books are published here or some of them are not easy to find (cry to heaven for example) so I think I’ll read them in English! 🙂
I hope my answer was entertaining and my English not too awkward XD
Nah, nothing wrong with it, I just haven’t tried reading it *shrugs*
This is highly subjective, but for me, my love is for the VC characters/stories first, the vampiring is secondary, but crucial in developing those characters. So much vampire media seems like “all one needs is a pair of fangs,” and I suspect BV falls into that category, but like I said, I haven’t given it a chance yet. I don’t see a BV fandom presence here or on AO3, soooooo… that says something about it, oui?
Hellooooo! Welcome to the Vampire Crackicles our dark little alley of tumblrland.
No worries, I actually rarely get asked that… every so often a post will come along “REBLOG IF YOU’RE IN THE VC FANDOM” but those aren’t the best resource bc blogs do go inactive.
Partly bc of the unpredictable nature of blog life partly bc I’m lazy, I don’t have a link to blogs that post alot of VC, but the two that immediately come to mind (bc they inspired me to make this blog) are vampchronfic. and vampire-chronicles-appreciation. Also, there’s jardinsalvaje and annericevcmexico, which have alot of VC fanart, etc., and some content in Spanish.
VC RP blogs would be a good place to start bc the RPers often post ooc (out of character) about the VC… so you could check these tags on my blog:
When you’re on desktop tumblr, you can check out the blogs I follow (they’re all in my header, in the “following” box) and those might be of interest to you, too. Fair warning that there are a plenty of non-VC fandom blogs there bc of reasons ;]
“And when the night was empty and still, I heard the voices of Interview with the Vampire singing to me, as if they sang from the grave. I read the book over and over. And then in a moment of contemptible anger, I shredded it to bits.”
“… As for the lies he told, the mistakes he made, well, I forgive him his excess of imagination, his bitterness, and his vanity, which was, after all, never very great… But little things like this don’t really matter. He told the tale as he believed it… And why should I bother to tell of the times he came to me in wretched anxiety, begging me never to leave him…”
“Read between the lines.”
OOC; omg crying from he laughter, best picture ever made.

^I WISH I could take credit for it, but I didn’t invent that meme. Idk who did… but I first saw it, liiiiiike, 6 yrs ago? And then found here on tumblr recently and reblogged so fast bc I had to preserve its magnificence and really it’s better than mine still…
And then I did this one which, I think I made in 2013 and never posted wtf self?
