Of course you can freely drop such lovely messages my way, my fanged little trash kitten ❤
That’s basically what Lestat is. And Louis. All of them, maybe.
I am so deeply touched by your words. In real life, few people understand this passion of mine, and so I have to hide it from them, and it’s always felt a little bit shameful because of that.
But here, I can let it run totally wild, and to be praised for doing that produces the exact opposite – I’m an absolute delight? A fandom treasure?! My presence is appreciated? My little heart swells with pride ❤
I do need to be told, and often. I’m only human. I am your (cumulative to the whole fandom) fanged little trash kitten. At your service.
♥u♥ ONE OF US ONE OF US (Apparently we’re calling ourselves Children of Darkness now, btw)
(BTW our mutual facepalming over Lestat was probably about this post)
Yes yes, memeything/fanart/fanfic/fanwork inspiration is, in actuality, the highest compliment to this blog, bc that’s REALLY what I do it for. When I started this thing there was fanwork but it was (and still is) all over the interwebs, and in my opinion there is not enough of it there is NEVER enough of it, so I wanted to have a collection of it for everyone’s enjoyment/inspiration, and a good resource for the fresh stuff, too 😀
Wow, your journey to VC is so touching, that our precious Sheeps shepherded you to us, was it this fanart of
Tonio Treschi?
You read Cry to Heaven –> saw sheepskeleton‘s fanart of it > sheepskeleton‘s fanart lead you here > now you’re one of us!!
#I love these kind of stories, and we (I’m sure I speak for others, too) enjoy your presence here. Great url, btw! He is Emperor of the Undead, lol.
I enjoyed Cry to Heaven, I don’t remember it very well, should reread it. I seem to recall that the main character reminded me of Armand.
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-want-my-iwtv is one of my favorite blogs on Tumblr. Their posts are hilarious! You can tell how much work the moderator puts into their account. They’re like our fandom cheerleader.”
I was tagged by lady-of-greenwood (merci!) to show my homescreen&lockscreen, so here’s the homescreen, I don’t have a lockscreen! I should tho, shouldn’t I… low-level bad sekurity is bad 😛
Wallpaper is the top image, which I snapped w/ my crappy old phone at a fantastic (but aren’t they ALWAYS?) Nine Inch Nails concert on 10/14/13. Because my phone screenshot is lame, I added two more shots from the concert YOU’RE WELCOME.
I’ll tag some People Off the Page (in no particular order):
BTW if I tagged you, you don’t have to post a homescreen&lockscreen of your phone, you can post any pic you’ve taken yourself that you really like! Show me smtg cool.
It’s Armand and it’s actually canonand one of my favorite parts to visualize in QotD(although it’s honky-tonk not ragtime, but their styles are related) I mean, just imagine Daniel waking up to that, looking completely DONE.
Why thank u dear, such a lovely compliment! I shall have to post more selfies… unless u are referring to my inner beauty of which I have an abundance *u*
I do ship L/L! Absolutely! However did u guess?? sometimes Louis doesn’t ship them but thats fine bc nobody ships L/L as hard as Lestat ships L/L.
I don’t remember when exactly, but I think AR did call Louis a “damaged pilgrim” at one point. There’s that.
If you want to cry over Louis, read Merrick, if you haven’t already. He has a lead role in that one ;] But be prepared because your feels will be squarely hit.
Hit the jump for my thoughts on why we don’t get much Louis action post-IWTV.
My theory re: Louis’ low profile is listed below. Because he had served his purpose with his major job (point 1), AR seemed not to need him as much. She kept him around for the same reason Akasha spares him QOTD, because the star of the show, Lestat, loves him.
1. Louis was AR’s vehicle through which to deal with the grief of the death of her daughter. Louis intended to kill Claudia.
Claudia was 5 yrs old, Michele Rice was 5 yrs old.
Claudia and Michele share a birthday (9/22, indicated in her diary entry in QOTD),
btw, Louis shares a birthday with AR (10/4, although I don’t think it’s in canon).
Louis was, in a way, Claudia’s mother: “You became my mother, and my father, and so I’m yours forever.” says movie!Claudia (which, let’s not forget, AR wrote the screenplay).
But more than all that, Louis was the one that AR wanted to interview, “Why did you kill my daughter? Did God, or the Devil, tell you to do so? What did she do wrong? What did we, as parents, do wrong?” Louis basically answered her that Claudia was just in the wrong place at the wrong time; he had no more contact with God or the Devil than AR does, and he was just a hungry animal in the savage garden, and Claudia was just an innocent victim.
2. Louis’ “voice” is rich and structured; IWTV emulated the (I think?) Victorian-era gothic novels (annabellioncourt might know the proper genre) that AR loved. His whole way of being is a quiet intensity, beauty that roils beneath the surface, and that is hard to write. Lestat’s easier, he’s a rollercoaster of egotistical bastard and cowering crybaby. Plus, when Louis is not the POV, you can have pages of other character’s swooning over him ❤
3. AR focused a number of the VC on other characters, and he’s peripheral to their stories. Louis does have some action and has a small section from his POV in PL, though!
