//I can’t believe I’m only now coming to the realization that Rose hates flower nicknames because of acid-man. He’s the one who calls her that, and though Lestat also calls her a ‘flower’, it rings differently for Rose.

“I take Holy Communion,” whispered Gardner as he kissed her, “my innocent one, my sweet and gentle one, my flower.”

ooc; I still can’t believe Rose dated a guy whose name was one letter away from being fucking Gardener.

mY FLOWER

//You know what we all want, anon? We all want the people who send anon hate and form hate campaigns, and start drama by spreading rumors to find new hobbies (knitting is good! And you can do it alone, without anyone bothering you!)

We want our friends to be able to log onto their RP accounts and not find an inbox full of hateful messages. We want people to be able to RP with anon on because anon is a big part of this game. We want to come here to blow off steam, distract ourselves from boring vampire-free reality for ten minutes, and to celebrate this series of books together. We want these kinds of messages to cease. 

What does the anon hate accomplish? BC honestly it’s getting redundant at this point. We got the message, we know what you think you want.

You know what would actually make you happy, anon? Probably not wasting your time sending messages like that, but instead, spending that time on a more rewarding hobby. If that means celebrating these books together, great! If it means something not fandom-related like knitting, ALSO great!

Do you think you would have fallen for Lestat if you’d need him when he was human?

You are asking if I would have loved him if he’d been mortal when I’d met him, I am assuming?

It would be strange to think of such a scenario.  At the time in which he came to me, I’d become bitter and cynical about life in itself.  I loathed myself with a fierce absoluteness, and I loathed all those that surrounded me because it was easier many nights to experience a sorrow-tinged-fury than it was to just become despondent.  I hated those cowards around me that would not put me down and sweep me away from the misery I could not remove myself from.  I did not traverse the worst venues in New Orleans because I wanted camaraderie.  I wanted to die.

I didn’t have lengthy conversations with many.  I cheated and brought on fights.  What would Lestat have done, if he’d not been a vampire?  Would he have visited me as I drank an ocean of liquor?  Would he have met me outside the door?  Regardless, I can only fathom that I would have initially ignored him.  He wouldn’t have seemed the kind that I wanted.  I would not have looked at him and seen my own demise reflected in his eyes.

I’m sure he would have struck a conversation with me, and I would have become angry and ranted in my drunkenness.  But then, there presents the question of whether he would have found me interesting enough to keep badgering, if he had not been a vampire?  Because it is who he is to not rid himself of the presence of someone he’s become fascinated with.  And if that had been the case, I’m sure he would have continued presenting himself as an irritation, day after day, night after night.  He would have flirted about in the way only Lestat can.  Speaking hypothetically, of course.

It would have infuriated me that he’d felt enough of an attraction to me to not let me be.  It would have challenged me, I suppose, to make him hate me, as so many did.  I have an immense amount of pride, and even in my darkest moments, that’s never vanished.  He would have revived a strange sort of competitiveness in me that I’d not experienced in months.  He’d become my norm.  I’d find enjoyment in bantering with him, rather than the misery I felt in the bars.  He’d be kind to me, and I would think I’d give up my fight eventually, and we would somehow come together.  Most likely in a night of high emotion, because that is how the two of us have operated in immortality.

And that’s that.  In this strange scenario where we’d both be mortals, I’m sure he would have refueled a fire in me, and I can only imagine that I’d be unable to avoid him.  Lestat is inevitable.  A reality in which I’d meet him and not love him seems incomprehensible.  If there are alternate universes as portrayed in science fiction, I’m positive that I love him in every one of them.

~*~The Big Semi-Annual IwtV Livestream~*~

ooc; I’ve received a ton of messages about this the past few weeks, so, no, y’all didn’t miss the stream.  It got postponed due to schedule restraints.  For that reason, here’s another big informative post regarding the stream that was postponed.

  • I will stream Interview with the Vampire on May 31 at 2PM CDT over at my channel.
  • There’s a chat on livestream, but we usually talk more on Skype, and the conversation always continues after the movie is done.
  • It’s basically tradition that we play Cards Against Humanity or Board Game Online after the movie.
  • Either shoot me your Skype or comment that you want in the Skype chat, and I’ll send you my Skype handle. (If you’re already on my Skype, just RSVP on this post or on Skype and I’ll get you on the list for the chat.)
  • You don’t need Skype to participate in the stream itself.  Like I said, there’s a chat on my livestream page, but we usually just continue doing fun stuff on Skype afterwards and make it a fun fandom day.
  • Feel free to reblog this post.  Everyone is invited.

OuO will prepare ma popcorns…

the real questions

(I’m lazy so I’m only answering the 4 you asked about)

Lestat: has an extensive intimates collection and loves shopping for more, even in the ladies’ section, often charming other shoppers into critiquing which colors and styles look best on him. Thongs for daily use, definitely; they also make for another ‘bait’ when stalking prey (when homophobic bad guys see that whale tale they’re more easily drawn out into an alley…)

Armand: silk boxers, usually, in dark gemtones to set off his complexion. He likes it when Daniel buys them for him. Occasionally he’ll wear cotton boy-briefs, especially in summer, when the silk feels too clingy.

Louis: he wore all the appropriate layers as he had done in life, after turning, and that was a ton of clothing. Modern day? merciful-death has convinced me that he now goes commando and I can’t disagree. His jeans are all very soft and worn-in, and he likes the feel of the cloth. Lestat likes this preference, too. 

Marius: had been a commando guy in life and for many years after turning, currently he prefers boxer-briefs, gray, which he buys buy the pack bc they often end up painted on. He can be found painting wearing only his underwear; even in abandoned buildings, should the muse take him. He will wear silk boxers when sharing his bed with a lover, but seldom gets more creative than that. 

Also gonna open this up to you, People off the Page, what do u think?

ooc; May 16, 2012 was the day I decided to make this account.  I was a n00b who had just read Interview with the Vampire like two months prior, and was just reading Queen of the Damned at the time.  I sucked really bad, but I met some cool people, and ended up sticking around.  Three years later, here I am.

So, here we have my whole “wow three years” post.  I never made a commemorative thing for hitting 1k followers either, so I just stuck that in with this.  I’m not going to do a huge follow forever, since I’ve done so many of those, but I would like to just plug a few wonderful friends that have been super great.

That said, this is a giveaway post.  Three people who reblog/like this will receive a promo post by me (example of my stuff here).  If you don’t want a promo, I can just make a simple graphic, ten icons, or whatever you’d rather have.  I just ask that the winners have patience with me, since my schedule has been insanely busy lately.

The three people who win must be following me, since obviously this is a thank you to my followers.  And if you like/reblog this but don’t actually want a graphic and you get picked, let me know and I’ll pick another winner.  Also excuse the jokingly shitty graphic on this post. 😉 It was done intentionally bad.

On May 23, I will use a randomizer to pick the winner.

Yours was one of the first RPs I followed here in tumblrland, and your Louis’ general sass and sense of humor definitely influenced my headcanon of him. I still enjoy your threads in ma dash (also when my Lestat is in them gdi he owes a reply i will wrestle him to the ground and force an answer!), like a fine wine, your muse has only gotten better over time.

Yo mom, what’s up with that movie night/livestream you were talking about 3 weeks ago? Still happening? Do I need to clean up my room, vacuum or anything? Say hi to dad, xoxo (lol lol)

ooc; I ended up having to cancel it for the day I’d originally scheduled it, but I’ll run another one soon.  Maybe next weekend…  I’ll have to see.  I’ll post no later than Monday if it’s a go or no-go.

We generally do a voice call after the movie, but no webcam, so no worries about cleaning rooms. 😉 I’m in my pajamas with no make-up on 99% of the time when I’m sitting at the computer at home and y’all wouldn’t want to see me.

Judging by the order of that vcpositivity post, if I’m the mom, does that make vagabonddaniel the dad and i-want-my-iwtv Uncle Lestan?

-SAYS HI TO DANIEL-

OuO I love rewatches! IWTV I assume? Hmmmm? It’s actually been awhile since I watched it rather than pulling 1-3 second bits for gifs 

Me as Uncle Lestan? Will take it. *salutes*  

While we’re flattered to be referred to with such titles, there’s enough room for many parental figures in a fandom! Definitely not excluding more moms, dads, and Uncle Lestans ;]

On the subject of parental figures:

Technically, for those who aren’t aware, Louis was meant to be AR herself as an insert. Claudia was based on Michelle Rice, the daughter AR lost at age 5 to

leukemia ;A; 

So Louis really is the mom of the series.

The name “Lestat” derives from “Le” which is “the” in French + “Stan” which is her husband, Stan Rice. She had actually intended the character to be named Lestan, and a typo led to him being Lestat instead.

Daniel, having been the interviewer that brought the VC into a published work, definitely should get some credit as a sort of father of the series ❤
