“Composer Phil Kline will lead a massive chorus of boomboxes from the West Village to the East Village in the 25th annual holiday presentation of UNSILENT NIGHT. People gather at the arch in Washington Square Park, and less than an hour and mile later, end up in Tompkins Square Park.”
I’ll be taking part in this tomorrow night, 12/18/16!
SUNDAY, DECEMBER 18, 2016, 6:00PM Meet in Washington Square Park at 5:45pm
You can download the music for free from the website, it’s very good stuff, ambient ;D
I was going through my inbox, and felt like doing some deeeeeep excavation, here’s a really old one, do you think this anon is still attracted to me, or have they given up? Or are they still waiting on a reply?? *laughcries*
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 ❤
//ooc; It’s okay, no offense taken, he just didn’t want to address all the points in your message, he’s not going to spend his time bickering over pseudonyms. Lestat RPers vary in their portrayal of the character, this Lestat is not a perfect warm and loving cinnamon roll to everyone and he takes jabs right in the middle of being warm and loving. It’s part of his charm. If he’s teasing you, especially about your name, when he comes up with such terrible aliases for himself, it means he’s feeling more comfortable around you, because he doesn’t do that with people he openly dislikes.
//ooc; It’s okay! No fuss, I’m not offended. It’s just that Lestat’s been asked for the Dark Gift so many times, and it’s kind of frustrating for him because people seem to think he gives it up to anyone who asks, like some kind of Dark Gift Slut… which has only been the case a few times in canon, but there was still reasoning behind it, he still had met the person and interacted with them.
RP is tough bc in the writing you can “really meet/interact with” the muse, like hug them or touch them, but my Lestat is more like a co-mod of this blog and takes most messages as messages only. He’s primarily an Ask Lestat, not available for real threads bc I just don’t have the time and don’t want to play favorites, even with anons.
And really, I think the response was slightly ooc anyway, Lestat probably wouldn’t go to the trouble to think about what would happen if he really said Yes to everyone. The Dark Gift is serious business, despite what it looks like in canon, it’s nothing to be distributed out like free t-shirts at a baseball game or whatever! He also really dislikes leading people on.
People don’t always look for or respect guidelines when interacting with an RPer, but yes, I/he should have guidelines, thanks for bringing that to my attention 😉
//ooc; Lestat won’t be considering any more Dark Gift requests, respectfully, find another Lestat RPer.
Let’s be real here, this is a fandom blog and it’s run by a human, there is no way this Lestat could jump up and ask for your address and come visit you to get to know you or turn you! Keep that in mind when you send him asks, he’s limited by being FICTIONAL and doesn’t want to make promises he can’t keep.//
♛You’re missing my point… *sigh*
If you are frightened for your life of revealing yourself to me in fear of offending me, then we’ve already started off on the wrong foot *frowns*. How can you start a relationship that could last far longer than any mortal relationship in fear? No. You can’t.
It’s not about your appearance or height, while yes, it does perturb me that David is taller than I am, but that’s what heeled boots were made for! And it is fun to be the shorter one in a kiss and have to tilt my face up to him, just for a change of pace.
It’s not about your taste in music, although it’s no secret that I adore Bon Jovi. You may have mentioned that just to kiss up to me… I hope that you don’t try to conform yourself to try to please others, enjoy that Celtic rock!
What I’m looking for is that chemistry you feel when you’re with someone you love or could love and they feel the same way for you. For me, that needs to happen in the physical. I don’t know of any vampire who’s promised the Dark Gift to a stranger they met on the internet, or before that existed, a penpal relationship. Perhaps it’s worked for others, but not for me.
Don’t you realize that even if I wanted to say Yes, and turn every single one of you who beg for vampirism, the sheer volume of such a task would probably kill me emotionally before it did physically?! Would we pick a church somewhere and have people fall in line for this kind of communion? I do have other interests than making vampires all night, every night, for months or even the years it would take to fill all the requests.
And then what of the fact that it does not always work, would we group all the “duds” into a dog kennel out back? Would we take care of them in a home somewhere or kill them to put them out of their misery and send their bodies back to their families? What if YOU became one of these duds? It’s all too gruesome and I’m terrified just thinking about it. Major buzzkill, as they say.
I hate to say No, so please stop asking me for this.
