Absolutely agreed. I first read the first four Vampire Chronicles back in the 90s when I was fourteen and I knew then that the one more likely to lie to the reader, perhaps to protect his own ego, would be Lestat. As much as I love him he does have an ego and that was a pretty miserable condition he was in. He admitted he was in that condition yet denied the conversation. It seems more likely that it did happen than that it didn’t.
Yep, I think it did happen, and Lestat’s ego couldn’t handle it.
^J/k. It’s not just about him it’s all about him. I don’t know of an official tag but I’ve seen:
VC, the vampire chronicles, vampire chronicles, vampire crackickles (we mean this in a loving sorta way), the vampire crackickles, interview with the vampire, iwtv (since alot of ppl dump all VC talk in the movie title tag),
the book being referenced, so QOTD for Queen of the Damned, etc.
… and of course any of the character’s names, (I indicate VC characters by adding “the vampire” Armand or “the vampire” Claudia, since they don’t have last names and there are other Armands and Claudias out there I don’t think I’ve been consistent in doing that w/ minor characters like Eleni and Madeleine and such oh well.)
There is the question of whether to include “the” and I don’t when I tag my stuff. I tag stuff with everything that’s in the post plus my stream of consciousness-type comments that don’t need to be in the version that ppl reblog and maybe ppl follow me for that commentary? Plus the fanart collection? I don’t question it, I just enjoy it.
I looooove fandom-related questions (for me or for Lestat), it’s like getting room service! ♥u♥
How many? It varies, sometimes none, usually 2-5… a question or comment really does make my day night, it’s heartwarming to see this new wave of activity in the VC fandom at all, and I’m grateful to be part of it in my own little way ❤
Personal questions, tho, idk, I always feel like, do you really want to know about me? I’m always flattered! But it still feels odd.
