LOVED chapter 4 (: do you guys upload chapters very frequently?

Thank you so much! @wicked-felina and I are so touched by the feedback we’ve been getting on it, it’s keeping us excited about it, too.

We’re both a little preoccupied with RL for NYE but should be posting more soon. Lots of notes and sections have been written, just gotta keep up the momentum on it ;D

Gotta say, when you’re reading a given chapter, we’ve actually both combed over it quite a bit; it’s not alternating between authors! We share similar headcanons and agree on a lot of things, our writing styles mesh well and we flail over eachothers ideas. She has a talent for witty dialogue, finding and moving the plot along at a good pace, and I love to set the tone with place setting, visuals, the texture of things. We’re very complementary ❤

I shall say I’m enjoying your coffee shop AU more than what I thought. There were lots of parts where I cracked up, I know how it is to have your name mispelled on drinks! I’ll look forward the next chapters~

Let us love you! We have more goodies in store for that AU, and it may spawn other stories. Drink up! ;D

Oh yes, the misspellings were one of the very first ideas… gotta get more of that in there…

Armand does not enjoy his trip to Starbucks either. 😉

i had a dream last night that you finished updating your theme etc. and if that doesn’t say i spend too much time browsing your archive, nothing will

Omg… I am… so flattered that my blog was in your dreams! But also embarrassed bc it was about the long-awaited update! I am super flattered that you browse my archive that much, you’ve made my day for sure ;D

Ok, I really need to get that done…  I CHANGED THE HEADER JUST FOR YOU, ANON! TODAY! I took out the construction signage and gave the kitty a top hat. He is so dapper now. I’d like to keep him in the new layout somewhere and just change his hat/accessorize him on a regular basis… ANYWAY CONSTRUCTION CONTINUES, behind the screen, w/o signage!

image

The thing is, the new layout is currently… pastel grunge? More like just pastel. all lighter colors w/ a dark font and IDK how I feel about that. I’m resisting the transition. And my webmistress demands tags on the center bottom of posts and just… I LIKE THEM ON THE SIDE. Don’t you guys prefer them on the side? Like a side of French fries!

I think I need to stick with a similar color scheme and just make the layout more easily navigable. There won’t be fancy animated buttons or anything superfluous like that. 

The other obstacle(s) is that I have yet to write up this stuff (and yes, I could put temp pages up, but I’d rather unveil it all at once!): 

  • Nav page w/ all the really good links like “cut scenes.” “For RPers.” “Fanfic.” “Fanart Request,” and analysis/critique of VC so ppl can easily find that stuff. 
  • FAQ for stuff I am frequently asked, and you’d be surprised but I am asked similar questions alot, one common topic is the order in which the books should be read (#order of operations for VC), just as an example.
  • About – so I could make it perfectly clear how unofficial a VC blog this is! Idk how I’d feel about being officially affiliated or approved by AR in some way… I’d be honored but I’d also worry about how that might limit my freedom of speech/reblogging of things that are critical of VC. We’ll cross that bridge if we ever come to it, and I’ll of course let you all know.
  • a Rules page for RPing with my Lestat, so I don’t have to keep explaining to people why he can’t do legit threads with their muses when they reach out to have a legit thread with him. I feel bad turning ppl down but I just don’t have the copious free time needed to thread with everyone who wants to do so ;A;

Since it’s STILL under construction, I am open to ideas as to anything else you think should be on the blargh. Not to say I will include them but I’m open-minded ;]

For the ever lovely @i-want-my-iwtv, who wanted some happy Vampire Murder Family times, and since it’s now winter I figured I’d have them out on a snowy stroll~

(Louis was meant to be there on the very left but he isn’t quite done yet- he was being stubborn, probably because he knows how much Lestat adores the attention, so, I’ll be adding him in later on an edited version on my account. And I’ll draw you some other doodles to make up for it since your other prompts gave me ideas~)

I hope you’re having a wonderful holiday season and I wish the best for you in the upcoming year~ ❤

From: @firelight-fading

I literally screamed “NOOO STOP !!” into my empty house. SO CUTE. 

^I LOVE THIS GIFT AND THIS REACTION. BOTH. SO MUCH! *u*!!!

Louis is SO stubborn, drag him out if you can, but I love this as-is, truly! Happy Holidays, to you, too!

It’s for @i-want-my-iwtv

I’d never drawn Claudia before, so decided try it and go with a drawing of the scene you asked for and some L/L smut because that’s always a good way of wishing happy Christmas 😉

Keep reading

OMG *swoons* I’M DEAD! Thank you so much for these two lovely gifts!

Hiya! So I totally love your blog and just thought that I should get your Lestat’s blessing before I start rp-ing him lol So a quick question to mun and Lestat. I wanna rp Lestat and I have this FC for him that’s not Tom Cruise. It’s Kamijo from Versailles. Tbh, I really feel as though Kamijo is such a good modern FC for Lestat! As long as you ignore race and all that. I was wondering what your opinion on this might be?

Thank you so much! Mun and muse are very flattered ❤ You’ve made our day/night!

image

You don’t need it from him or me but Lestat absolutely blesses you in this pursuit! And so do I. He’s nudging me happily bc he adores Kamijo, and he wants you to GO FOR IT, and you don’t need to ignore race. Lestat is intrigued as to how he might be portrayed/perceived as a different race, but no pressure if you feel like that’s too much of a challenge. Lestat says to Do the Thing, however you choose to do it. Let me know when it’s ready to promote.

There’s a genderbent Lestat, in @queenofthesavagegarden, Lestel goes by they/them pronouns and will interact with other Lestat RPers. My Lestat loves watching Lestel.

[X] Kamijo is definitely a VC fan, an A+ cosplayer ^_____^

BTW you know who else adores Kamijo? @redversaillesrose​ and you should probably be friends with them *shoves you two together*

Out of all the vampires in the Vampire Chronicles which one do you think has the most daddy issues? Random question I know but the thought just popped into my head. Maybe it’s the combination of loving your blog and loving that song called Daddy Issues by The Neighbourhood.

Thanks for the compliment on the blog, much appreciated ❤

I like the song, I’d never heard it before.

Who has the most “daddy issues,” that’s up for debate, and how you define daddy issues, and bc someone with daddy issues can show it in different ways.

VC has a ton of terrible parents, either they’re neglectful, or abusive, or manipulative, etc. A lot of bad fathers, and that’s not even counting bad makers. A bad or absent father can affect someone’s future relationships with their significant others.

Daddy issues implies that a person had a father who: 

  • doted on them too much, maybe they’re spoiled and have an enormous ego now; or
  • ignored them or just wasn’t there at all, so the person cries out for attention too much, 
  • and everything in between and so much more.

So I’ll open this up, anyone can reblog/comment about the daddy issues! Or maker issues.

I think this is the best VC blog I’ve ever seen.

Aww thank u so much! I try! So hard!

Just feel like repeating a few things in light of recent posts…

Fandom isn’t just escape into a fantasy world. Fandom is letting the fantasy world supplement us, bolster us, give us hope. Fandom is drawing our friends and loved ones as close as we can, even separated by massive distance, we can at least communicate with and support eachother.

Fandom can stimulate wonderful discussions even if you disagree with someone, and perhaps even enlighten you to smtg you might not have considered before! “The mind, once stretched by a new idea, never returns to its original dimensions.” – Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. (I think? Might be

Ralph Waldo Emerson… idk) 

Homework assignment to everyone out there: Reach out and send a lovely message like this to someone today ❤
