That’s my job, yes, I am the Great and Awesome Dealer of the VC fandom ❤ All of my addicts are wonderful customers hehehe 😉
Of course you may! Go right ahead and add translations. It seems like you were doing so already, if this is your page:
Anne Rice Vampire Chronicles México.I knew that people would download and repost things from my blog. That’s why I started adding my url name on some of them, so that people would know the source.
I don’t add my url on things that I worry are too offensive, or on things that I didn’t really add anything to, or make too much of an effort on, like screencaps and production stills 😉

Theatrical Trailer
20 freakin’ years and they can’t include the deleted scenes.
I’m still pissed off about the lack of deleted scenes.
I’ve heard rumors of a bootleg extended cut occasionally turning up on ebay but I have never seen it, myself.
Someone must have this alleged bootleg extended cut, share with the class whether it even exists#plzkmerciàbientôt
Fellow roleplayer appreciation time: it’s time to tell some of your favorite blogs that you acknowledge, and appreciate their work; let them know that you love them. Spread the love to 10 of your favorite blogs, and if you don’t have 10, then just spread it to the next 10 on your dash!
I used to get them mixed up early on, too. They’re VERY different. And yet similar. (also I don’t think they’re ever in the same place together in the series, which is neither here nor there, but whatever) This is Santiago, we meet him in IWTV:
Santiago is a BAMF, and he’s Armand’s right-hand man at the Theatre des Vampires, also an actor there, usually plays the narrator or character of “Death” in their gruesome stage performances. Santiago does NOT like Louis from the moment they meet. Santiago can sense weakness in Louis, and Santiago is also suspicious of Claudia just for her existence; it’s against the rules to make child vampires. Santiago is not gonna let that slide.
Santino is a BAMF, too. We meet him in TVL, he trains Armand to become the coven master of the Children of Darkness, eventually helming the Scranton Paris branch in the cemetery of Les Innocents. More on him in TVA and B&G, which I have not memorized yet. Santino is the leader of a coven of Satanic vampires, the members of which hold a common belief that they are meant to be the scourge of humankind. I can’t say more without spoiling you, so go to Wiki for more.
You can also ask a Santino RPer! vampirexsantino would probably answer more. He’s the only active Santino I know of rn, and I don’t know any active Santiagos. vampiresantiago is inactive, but you might like perusing their archive.
omg mine is your favorite? *flails* Thank u! If u love this blog, u love the VC fandom by default.
My fave VC changes over time. When I first started, I was definitely more IWTV, I identified with Claudia, and then Louis. It wasn’t until later that I switched over to Team Lestat. Claudia is very nearly the biological daughter he probably would have had deserved, in a mortal Lestat AU!
When I reread the books now, I see different things than before, now that I’m older. I can see the parenting perspective better now, for example.
I feel like someone just asked me my fave recently and I think I said TVL, bc it’s the one that’s stood the test of time the most for me, probably.
Least favorite also changes over time. I’m a very generous person tho, I can find beauty and salvage elements/quotes/scenes from books, movies, etc, that I otherwise don’t like as a whole. Same is true for VC. Lots of gems tossed in amongst the later canon that you’ll only really appreciate if you excavate them yourself ;]
I wouldn’t call it disappointing per se, but I admit that I didn’t really enjoy Blackwood Farm, I’d say that was my least favorite, consistently. It’s almost a stand-alone novel. Probably the reason I don’t like it as much is bc it’s almost a stand-alone novel.
(I struggle to describe it to ppl, I usually cater the length and depth of my description based on my audience, for example, to describe it to my 7 yr old cousin (who loves vampires and was a vampire princess fairy for Halloween): “It’s mostly about a happy vampire family with 2 dads, and they don’t always get along with eachother or the world.”)
As Tom Cruise put it so eloquently, “The movie is not for everyone.” No value judgement there; it’s just not everyone’s cup of tea, so I don’t try to sell it.
I will try to describe the story in the language of tumblrland:
“How would you describe IWTV to someone who has not read the book…?”
“How would you describe IWTV to someone who has not read the book or seen the movie?”
“How would you describe IWTV to someone who has not read the book or seen the movie?”
“How would you describe IWTV to someone who has not read the book or seen the movie?”
“How would you describe IWTV to someone who has not read the book or seen the movie?”
You can also try my vc synopsis tag, but there be spoilers there!
….That last gif is also tribute to antoineandthepiano who loves that gif! And it’s appropriate here, bc if I think the person might actually like it, I do tell them to #READ THE BOOK in the hopes that I can make them one of us ❤
LESTAT’S NEVER BEEN LOVED BACK ARE YOU KIDDING ME Just take my heart and destroy it. I am ruined.
;A; IKR??
Well, that quote refers to movie!IWTV. If you’ve read TVL, you know Lestat’s been loved before in his life ;]
And, technically, it happens in an about 10 min in the movie, but Lestat, Louis, and Claudia happily together for some 60+ years, so there was love then 😉
sometimes i think that what lestat needs is some molly weasley in his life, like, a mum who will BEAT SOME SENSE IN THAT EMPTY BLONDE HEAD, KICK HIS ASS IN FRONT OF HIS FRIENDS and then drag him home and give him warm blood soup and kiss him in his coffin, bye love sleep well beware of the sun mummy AGGRESSIVELY LOVES YOU
maybe he wouldn’t have so many issues then, but also maybe not
#It got better #Agrees Aggressively
Well Gabrielle does slap him when it’s called for, but yeah, she could be doing so much more!
That’s sort of what Claudia did to him, but in a much meaner way, when she made her point. On his face.
^See, this is a Lestat who’s giving you his full attention and ready to learn a thing 😉
That’s tough. I would think that it fluctuates. THEY ARE ALL GROSSLY FILTHY RICH.
The most rich? Probably Marius, or Armand. But this is the gif I have that’s on topic so this is what you get.
Marius has been around for a LONG time, whatever money he got in the beginning of his vampiring has accrued to an enormous amount over all this time. I don’t think it’s just based on selling paintings, which I would think he does more for fun than financial gain, but could be both.
(I like to think Marius also givens painting lessons as a hobby bc he does love to teach!)
In no particular order:
Lestat’s money was there before he was a rockstar, he had to have alot of startup money. He talks about hiring the best people and buying the best equipment for all aspects of getting the band updated and concert ready. He talks about hiring security and lawyers. He had that money already, it was waiting in bank accounts he had set up in the 18th century. Remember, he started off vampiring with a big treasure chest of stolen money and jewelry from Magnus’ victims, which he invested.
Louis is rich bc he was a plantation owner and owned property in NOLA. He was careful with banking and originally thought Lestat chose him for his money. AS IF! Louis is also a great gambler, he has a knack for cards, and can win huge sums to invest. Louis also loves books, and probably is in the vintage book business. Louis also probably gets money from Lestat, if he needs it.
Armand initially arranged for dives for treasure from sunken ships, an archaeological find, “a cheap piece of South American property yielded a long forgotten emerald mine.” And that money was invested. He owns and runs the Night Island, and other businesses, which are a constant source of incoming profit.
Daniel had money from the publishing of IWTV, and later other books, but his money really comes from Armand.
