Episode 1×05 “Visiting Ours”

I can feel weird spending so much time staring at Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise’s faces, but then I do a QotD meme and I’m ready to run back to the IwtV movie. It’s not that Stuart Townsend isn’t hot, it’s that he’s blatantly not blonde.

Never feel weird about staring at the wildly more correct faces of the IWTV cast ;] 

Does Virgin blood mean the blood of someone who has never had sex or blood that has never been drank/used in a ritual before?

Excellent question! All of the above.

^That’s definitely not sexually-virgin blood there, but it might very well be not-used-before-in-a-ritual virgin blood!

Hopefully the alcohol in it cleaned it up a bit? Maybe knowing the source is what really grossed Louis out about it, ick.

I’m not a good resource on this, but I believe it can mean all of those. In some religious rituals, it means specifically blood that has not been used in a ritual before (as in, whoever it is providing their blood has not shed blood in a previous ritual before). Drunk before? Well if it’s been drunk, it’s been used already, not sure how you’d retrieve it for another use!  

It is true that some cultures held virgins up as oracles, and kept them separated from society at large. That they were free from the mental and physical demands that come with having a sex life (I’m not agreeing necessarily, just guessing at their reasoning in a very generalized way). 

The idea that a person who has not had sex yet could be counted on to have pure blood may stem from the fact that diseases were much more mysterious long ago; lacking treatment options, people died and/or suffered terribly from sexually transmitted diseases. 

One would suppose you would want clean utensils for rituals, and clean ingredients?

In every single book, Louis has to make the “Don’t become a vampire if you can help it,” speech.

viking-vamp replied to your post “Hello, darling! I stumbled upon one of your Lestat gifs. A Lestat RPR…”

His (I’m assuming it’s a “he”) twitter name is Lestat, vampire @GreyEyesLestat. He wrote, “I’m helplessly irresistible!” and used the gif in which Lestat is dancing with Claudia’s mother corpse. Loved it!

Yeah so I checked it out, just this one:

Fortunately it has my watermark on it! So s/he’s actually driving traffic my way! Awwww yisss free publicity.

^so coincidentally that gif works as MY reaction, too ❤

Hello, darling! I stumbled upon one of your Lestat gifs. A Lestat RPR on twitter used it and I jumped when I saw it. (took a screenshot of it btw) I wanted to post it but couldn’t. (Sighs)

Hey, thank u! I’m curious as to which gif they’re using. Send me a link, or their twitter name.

I’ve said on here a looooong time ago, before I had so many followers *u*, so it was probably missed: anyone is free to use my gifs, tho I would appreciate being tagged (so I can enjoy them in their new setting) and/or being credited, bc they do take some effort to make ;]

The fact is that the gifs I make from movie!IWTV itself actually belong to the copyright holders for that movie, so I don’t have much more of a right to my gifs than the twitter RPer.

However, I tend to add the “i-want-my-iwtv.tumblr” watermark when I feel like I added/mashedup something unique enough to count as partially mine, which elevates the gif to a derivative work, rather than just a copy of the source material. Like this one, which is one of my faves:
