Mater Fabuloso is falling asleep rn and must be put to bed, but knows she has some interesting asks still to answer, THEY SHALL BE ANSWERED. Have patience, my fanged little trash kittens.
Merci beaucoup mon pamplemousse! Welcome to our little corner of tumblrland ^______^
What a lovely thing to say *flails* Hard to believe this blog is a top google result, that is some kind of accomplishment indeed! The truth is that the VC fandom has been alive and well for a looooong time, but hiding from the light of day due to AR’s war on fanfic during the 90′s. We’ve all slowly come up out of the woodwork and Prince Lestat encouraged even more of us to step into the light, it ushered in the fresh blood, too: ppl who had seen one of the movies or read a few of the books AND NOW WE ARE ALL FRICKIN’ GATHERING HERE. TOGETHER AT LAAAAAST.
We really do have some unbelievably talented VC fanartists, writers, thinkers, RPers, cheerleaders, musicians (yes musicians, too!), etc. I consider myself an addict of all of it, and I curate it all so we can all squee over it, be inspired by each other, and most importantly, MAKE MOAR.
What a great platform this is, with the ease of fanwork sharing, whether it’s fanmix, fanart, fanfic, meta discussion, RP, VC news linkage, and so much more. What an incredible time to join the fandom, right when it’s having its greatest renaissance in the fandom’s history ❤
Messages like yours keep this blog a-thrive.See what I did there? omg i am the Queen of Cheese. WHATEVER IT’S CUTE AS HELL & I AM CUTE AS HELL
(½) I was… not expecting such a response to my POTP question. I want to clarify first that I am grateful for your response. That I mean sincerely; I harbor no ill-will towards you, and nothing in this response is sarcastic. I’ve always had issue with anyone saying “People from X group are [negative remark here]” if I belong to said group. Thank you for reminding me that such statements can be general, rather than applying to everyone in said group. And I only knew about the fanfic thing –
(2/2) – and the fact that negative reviews of her work were brought up on her page; I didn’t know there were fans who attacked reviewers. The bullet point about the “Beauty’s Release” review sounds like she was being sincere that she didn’t want fans to attack the reviewer, and I don’t see any rabid rage in the comments, but I don’t doubt they did attack the reviewer in place(s) I didn’t see. I was completely unaware of the vast majority of what you included in your response. Sincerely, I thank you.
You are very welcome! What a gracious reply. Anon is referring to this post about the history of the People of the Page that I wrote (with the help of some fandom friends who did not want to be credited for obvious reasons) recently.
I’m very happy to answer questions when they are asked in a respectful manner, as this Anon did, and it’s even better when I have successfully convinced them of my point(s) let them draw their own conclusion(s) based on the information that I have, or what I can gather from the fandom at large who see/reblog-and-add-to my posts.
Heartfelt Thanks~*
…to all who saw that post and liked/reblogged, just to be supportive or to have that post available in case they needed to Explain Someone A Thing at some point. It touches me when you do that; it makes it worth the time and effort I put into gathering the facts and answering such delicate questions ^_______^
omg that last ask took alot out of me, and I wouldn’t answer my other, friendlier asks till that one was done. So if you have an unanswered ask, have patience, mes
I AM GLAD YOU NOTICED THAT DETAIL! 😀 Armand is wearing this Alexander McQueen scarf (in grey.) Lestat’s jacket is inspired by a few similar Brunello Cucinelli pieces so I guess it’s … bespoke courtesy … the artist ╮(╯▽╰)╭ this is the kind of shit i waste the good years of my life on
!! Awww! I offer it bc I had wanted to name my cat that name ages ago, and lost, my two little brothers outvoted me, so we had “Miss Kitty.”
^like Louis, Miss Kitty was devastatingly good at all card- and strategy-related games, lol. Looks like she’s got a railroad and an orange property there. Probably going easy on us at first, letting us all think we have chance against her, pffffft.
She was a 13th birthday present for ME, one would think I should get to choose her name! Miss Kitty. Uncreative. But it did suit her, she was too gentle, very classy, such a lady. Definitely did not have the spice in her to be a real Clawdia ;] Later on, living on my own, I adopted an adult cat already named Celeste, and of course I was pleased because Theatre des Vampires! She was a stronger personality, my Celeste. She set the tone, and she destroyed a lot of offending glassware.
“So lady-of-greenwood tagged me in a handwriting challenge but I didn’t really want to answer those questions so I’m just writing something stream-of-consciousness style, where will it go?! Noone really knows…
I’ll just take this as an opportunity to thank all of my followers, from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for following me, thank you for being supportive, thank you for validating my crazyness with you messages in tags and reblogs, and you make my experience on Tumblr SO much richer. I’m addicted to YOU!
I’m taking the handwriting challenge and turning it into a THANK YOU challenge, and possibly a #VC fandom love challenge. As you can see I am performing the new #VC Diamondhands.
This was a message to all of my followers and anyone who likes my blog. This is open to anyone. Write a thank you note, and post with #VC Diamondhands, if you want to! Let the positivity roll ❤
That’s the original purpose -and still a major one- of my blog: to be a collection of inspiration to the fanartists in making more yummy fanworks to feeeeed the VC addiction of all of us adorable fanged little trash kittens ❤
I put my url on them knowing that they’d be downloaded and reposted, it’s a way to keep the source intact ;] tho if u notice I don’t add it on some that I think either push the envelope of offensiveness too far or I feel like I didn’t really add enough to claim them as “mine.”
But yes, it would be gr9 if you tag me when you use them, just add a little [i-want-my-iwtv] below them, bc then I’ll see it in my activity feed, and can see it in your post. It’s really fun to see these things in different contexts. A tag would be nice, too, as #iwantmyiwtv or #i-want-my-iwtv.
Obviously, it would be best if people who want to use my works use them as reaction gifs only, and not simply repost on a new post… but I can’t stop that from happening, so I can’t really get upset if it happens. It means too much to me to be able to share these things freely, so it’s a risk I’m willing to take. I’m sure it’s happened already *shrugs*
