♛Mon bijou, merci. The only one of my darlings to send me a Father’s Day message.
Though you’re no longer this small, the sentiment remains the same. I’m still bigger and stronger than you and I demand hugs from my children! Please come visit and deliver your requisite services *grins*
YOU ARE SO WELCOME @annabellioncourt and I found the request intellectually stimulating ;D so satisfying to know that you were pleased w/ the effort on that Rec post(it took actual hours to draft and I still feel like I left things out)(oh well I will have a real *~snazzy~* rec page someday SOON hopefully)
I’m so glad I’ve met so many other fanged trash kittens who I can summon on topics I need their advice on. Actual footage of us discussing things:
♥u♥ Dressup sessions happen frequently, even in their own home, and whenever Lestat can drag Louis to the mall and they always have to visit a lingerie store. At least one.
I guess I am unofficially taking drabble requests *o* whether I can fill them in a timely a manner like this, or at all, isn’t guaranteed, but hey, send it and I’ll consider it!
[as a side note: I love pics of cats at this angle, but it is not VC, so I can’t really justify posting them, but send me pics like this bc I adore them maybe I’ll make a compilation of them] [source]
Awww love for the blarg! *u* and merciiii, I am quite awesome. [X]
IDK if IWTV is a high-grossing vampire book, I would hope so! My guess would be its ranking in vampire book lists has changed over time. Popularity probably surged when movie!IWTV and movie!QOTD came out, when the Lestat Musical came out, when each new book comes out, etc.
If not IWTV, I wouldn’t know which is the highest-grossing, but I would bet it’s TVL, because it establishes alot of the Ricean vampire lore/rules, and that’s the one they are focusing on in the new film adaptation.
… and then it also depends on ppl’s access to the book, whether they have to sneak it bc they are 8 yr olds reading their big sister’s battered paperback, or adults listening to the audiotapes bc it was recc’d by a friend, who knows! Everyone seems to come in at different times in their lives, different ways. Very few ppl tell me they just saw it on a shelf and the cover made them want to give it a try, it’s usually someone giving it to them like a drug dealer gives you a taste of the goods to get you hooked… lol.
(of course I don’t write fanfic, anywhere, what kind of horrible meanie would do that??yes i do actually)(And that is so sweet of you, my interpretation of the characters is spot on?! *hugs* Most of it comes from my own headcanon, but I’m also grateful to be in this fandom and have the benefit of such good headcanons to absorb through other ppls fanworks and RP, etc. <3)
#I love these kind of stories, how ppl got their first taste of this stuff… you were 8?? That’s very young, yep, you probably would have missed certain things… and it sounds to me like it got this Forbidden Fruit quality for you like it did for me. I was 11, and while my parents didn’t stop me from reading it, I wasn’t old enough to see the movie!IWTV in 1994, so I had to wait until it was on VHS (YES I AM THAT OLD) to see it, and even then, it was rated R so I had to sneak over to my friend’s house to watch it. I had bought a copy from another friend and relabeled the tape Forrest Gump, and for some reason my parents never thought it strange that I had 2 copies of that movie… they probably never noticed lol.
But I am jealous that your mom (AR Veteran! omg I bet I am closer to her age than yours) is into it. I tried to get my parents into it a few yrs back, and they made it through the first two books and then dropped it. OH WELL. At least now I can quote canon occasionally and they have an idea of what I’m referencing.
@cup-of-lixx pointed out that I’ve been shouted out on Edge and Back outside of tumblrland! “A true beacon of light for all of us Vampire Chronicle fans.” *u*
I just said this but it bears repeating: I love the idea of this thing being part of someone’s daily routine BC IT IS CERTAINLY PART OF MINE and someone out there ought to be as attached to it as I am #no regerts. So the feels, they are mutual, and
I’ll try to keep up the quality you’ve come to expect *u*
