So, I don’t normally do these bc do you really care? Do you really want to be reminded of the fact that I have limited media faves, that I’m pretty religiously committed to the one fandomlike let’s be real it’s somewhat embarrassing that the only series I want to maintain a focused blog on is this trashpile of dysfunctional vampires wtf is wrong with me….
I’m taking this as an opportunity to reach out to ppl by tagging them, since I don’t do “Follow Forever’s” or “Follower Appreciation” posts/giveaways. I’m tagging first, putting my answers under a cut. To be fair, I can’t tag all of my followers, I would get such carpal tunnel syndrome, so I’m tagging some of the most recent ppl in my Activity feed who I’ve seen there often, and a bunch extra ;D
Fictional Characters: LESTAAAAAAT OBVIOUSLY, Louis de Pointe du Laaaaaaac, Claudiaaaaaa, Armaaaaand, y’know, all the VC usual suspects so I’ll move on, Thor, Loki, Tony Stark, Ethan Hunt, the Torrance family, Joan Crawford (well she was fictionalized in Mommie Dearest sorta), Ursula (the Little Mermaid), Dracula (pretty much all versions), the vampires in What We Do in the Shadows, the vampires in the Lost Boys, The Walking Dead characters (I like them all!).
Books: VC (obviously), The Shining, Johnny the Homicidal Maniac, Firestarter, I like nonfiction books, like autobiographies, I liked the Marilyn Manson one (The Long Hard Road Out of Hell).

{Nothing serious, just an apologetic note. Apologetic, not actually apologizing.}
Just got back from my trip a few days ago, RL has been very consuming. I have a ton of messages in my inbox, thank u for keeping that lively in my absence! Responses will be made and queued. I try not to spam with responses, so if you’re waiting for yours, rest assured, it will be taken care of and queued ;]
So yeah, pardon the delay in reply, but RL comes first, as it should.
You’re so welcome! What a lovely poetic thing to tell me ❤ A ray of moonlight is harder to find than a ray of sunshine ;]
I try to make the blog I would have wanted to find when I was 15 and couldn’t find the fanworks, the screencaps, the whole fandom experience. So far so good ;]
So…. in 1996 I was in middle school and had a friend over and my dad “caught” us watching IWTV in my room – of course it was the version that was (heavily) edited for TV but that didn’t occur to him so he actually took the TV out of my room so that we couldn’t watch anything else. Well I wanted to know how the damn movie ended so I convinced my mother to let me rent (on VHS, btw) the original movie (which was way more graphic than the version we had been watching).
Then, at the middle school I was attended, they let you read any book you wanted for the reading requirement as long as you read a certain number of pages per day. So I’m in the library that was attached to the school and – whoa – IWTV! So I picked that book to read for my middle school reading requirement. And when I was done with that I asked my mom to buy for me TVL… My mom was *thrilled* because I had been homeschooled for a few years and even though I whizzed through math text books, I *hated* reading and always did the bare minimum. My father was less thrilled and threw my copy of TVL in the trash several times.
So, my mother, bless her heart, calls up a local book store and asks them to put one of every Anne Rice book on hold for her – because she thinks Anne Rice ONLY wrote The Vampire Chronicles. Apparently without really looking at what she was buying, she has the book store put all the books on hold into a bag and ring them up….. and THAT is how my mother accidentally bought me smut when I was in middle school.
I’d finished all the vampire chronicles that were out in time for TVA which came out one week before my 14th birthday in 1998 (I was gifted three copies – I probably should have thought to ask for more than just that book…).
Seeing phrases like “I was sucked into the VC obsession hellhole when I was 14” and “Once I finished TotBT on January 22, 2012” in the same sentence make me feel positively ancient! Buuuut I couldn’t be happier, of course, that there are so many new and young fans. We can always use the fresh blood. 😉
^Yeah, it makes me feel a bit old, too, similarly, I’d read #1-4 by 1994. #5 (Memnoch the Devil) was my first fresh one. But hey, I’ve aged like a fine wine!
^LOUIS OMG RUDE I know it gets cold so quickly but show a little respect!
Well, as you know #I love these kind of stories. We may be old, but I think we got to experience the VC in a unique way. Like you, I was at the age when I could yearn for a new VC book and then get excited asking for it as a birthday present or going to the bookstore to pick it up. I didn’t like the feel of new hardcovers, though. Preferred the paperbacks, as they had a more friendly handfeel and pleasant scent.
Lookit he’s already good at spanking that is like half the role, lol… this is bad and i should feel bad whatever tho i am not the one exuberantly spanking someone in a gif on tumblr i hope its consensual
i-want-my-iwtv: okay yas we do but to be fair I did the GIF Search thing for “Fassbender” and on the second flick of my scroll down, THIS WAS THERE and my mind jumped to Marius spanking and so really I HAD NO CHOICE I HAD TO GO THERE, the 15 y.o. version of me demanded it.
