cup-of-lixx reblogged your post cup-of-lixx asked:Yo mom, what’s … and added:
Oh god you posted that *blush* i-want-my-iwtv is taking care better care of us than Uncle Lestan 😉 😉 But yes, seems like it ❤ If you’re okay with that, so am I.
I TRY *u*
“Shoutout to merciful-death, vagabonddaniel and i-want-my-iwtv who are like mom, dad, and uncle Lestan for our community. They’re super nice people and great roleplayers, I want to thank them for the time they put on being pillars of our community, organizing stuff, leading discussions, creating content and in general being awesome and keeping us together.”
Awwwwww! What a lovely message!
♥u♥
I think I can speak for all three of us *~parental figures~* when I say all we want is to enjoy this fandom together with u all!
~ ♥ ~
Personally, I love getting impressions from ppl just starting reading the series, as well as ideas from ppl who have already read and reread some or all of the VC. The headcanons ppl share are inspiring and the fanartists breathe visible life into these characters we all cherish. The silly stuff, the meta discussions, the RP… it’s a gift that keeps on giving to support such a fandom.
So thank you for following us, for sharing back with us, and if I could quit my job and just do this for a living I WOULD DO THAT IN A HEARTBEAT so much fandom love back to you, and the original writer of this lovely sentiment.
I’m attracted to you, personally. Not Lestat. Only you.
Dude, my accidental headcanon for years was that the, ahem, vampire sexual fluids were actually blood, since it seems to replace all the other fluids. I forgot the “the lower parts doesn’t work anymore” part and, by my logic, if they cry blood -> they also sweat blood -> so they must split blood too, then -> WELL… (It also would explain why vampires love red sheets and basically red everything in home decor)
That’s a legit headcanon! And a good reason why the Bed, Bath and Beyond in NOLA is always mysteriously sold out of red bedlinens… hmmmm…
^This was in response to the vampire asexuality post here. I’d like to discuss these in further detail… would anyone be interested if I made a spillover page for larger discussion topics where you could comment easier? Even comment on Anon?
Hey, love your blog — it’s so fun to check it and have a great time. It’s just awesome– thanks for everything! <3<3<3<3
omg yes please, you are so welcome! This is my way to share my personal collection of VC awesome, I’m like a VC-AU Ariel w/ a cavern of VC fanworks instead of land-world stuff *u*
^I was bored of my usual reaction shots so have this instead ;D
See this kind of message is why I do this. I make/gather the kind of content I searched for for so long and could only get little scraps here and there.
THIS IS OUR ADDICTION AND WE SHOULD ALL ENJOY THE DRUGS TOGETHER!
I first saw the film on Hallowe’en a few years ago on holiday with some friends (well, by the time it ended it was November…) and then i went to the house of the friend who owned the DVD shortly after and we watched it again (and accidentally had a Stephen Rea marathon as we watched V for Vendetta afterwards – I didn’t even recognize him!), then she let me borrow the DVD and I watched it about 20 times throughout November. I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve seen it since
ouo another one claimed by the VC fandom. It stands the test of time, it can really be rewatched many times, you can watch it for something different every time I sometimes watch it for the extras in every scene, they do a great job, too ;]
Accidental Steven Rea marathon hahaha. I think he would appreciate that.
Thank you for following me! I know don’t do anything for the VC fandom but I love your stuff and its so cool that you followed me! So thanks again :)
Aw thanks for the compliment 😀
Well sure why not? You DO do smtg for the VC fandom just by liking/reblogging its fanworks. You archive has a bunch of VC fanart, VC quotes, etc. and that supports the fandom *u*
You’ve been following me for ages so I felt like I should check out your blog finally, and well, u like stuff I like, too, and I wants it in my dash ❤

omg thats so cute! I always love to hear stories of how people got into this series *u*
You can thank Dante Ferretti for the gorgeous set designs. I believe he was told to make the whole feel of it “like a funeral parlor,” and he was also inspired by old prints and the surreal environments of Italian artist Giovanni Battista Piranesi.
My story is similar. I was around that age, and had to sneak it. I saw the movie on VHS tape. That meant it had to be rewound each time. And they said it would lose quality over numbers of plays! I would pause it and try to draw the beautiful characters, too.
Don’t even ask bc thankfully those drawings are LONG GONE.
Hallo my darling dear, out of curiosity what did you end up choosing as your favorite VC book? Or if I feel like being crueler still, would you list them from most to least favorite?
OuO thanks for this ask! *u*
(ﾉ´ヮ´)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ *~TVL~* is my favorite bc of reasons:
- it’s undiluted Lestat,
- from his POV,
- his backstory,
- his midstory,
- his modus operandi…
- it answers alot of the questions and corrects the record somewhat from IWTV (both have unreliable narrators but STILL)
- …while bringing in a wholly new vampire origin mythology!!
- and sets us up for more stories.
Listing the rest from most to least fave under the cut.
I’ll try not to spoil but consider yourself WARNED. ＼(^ω^＼)
You know this fluctuates ok? Sometimes I’m in the mood for crackiness, but the top 5 are generally constants.
SPOILER ALERT MAYBE
- TVL – bc of reasons
- IWTV – bc it was the gateway drug to all this, and bc of Louis’ voice being so strong, very classical gothic novel. There was alot of existential crisis here, and mixed right in were some of the best insults and humor I’d ever read up until that time. (Louis: “There’s nothing left for you to tell me about life. I haveno need of you and no use for you. It’s you who need me, and if you
touch but one of the Freniere slaves, I’ll get rid of you. It will be a
battle between us, and I needn’t point out to you I have more wit to
fare better in my little finger than you in your entire frame. Do as I
say.‘” OH SNAP. - ToBT – Truly a “Lestat Don’t Do the Thing” “I Did the Thing” “GDI Lestat” book, in which he gets the chance to be mortal again, and this sums up his opinion of that experience: “I’ve watched two-year-old humans with interest for centuries. They’re miserable. They rush about, fall down, and scream almost constantly. They hate being human! They know already that it’s some sort of dirty trick.” I feel ya.
- MtD – Yes okay I love Memnoch the Devil bc of alot of reasons, but mostly for the ideas it presents about why God created man and the world and what the deal was with sending Jesus down to mingle among people, and of course Lestat is asked to be the Prince of Hell, bc why not? It’s got alot going for it, the settings are amazing, the amount of Lestat being overwhelmed by his sensory input is like a rollercoaster ride, it’s some intense stuff.
- QotD – there are alot more characters in here and it’s fun to jump around among the different POVs as the story progresses. The Queen herself has a wildly innovative concept for bringing Peace on Earth and it has a major flaw in that it does not include Bette Midler singing “From a Distance.”
- Merrick – Louis returns as a more central character in several books, and it’s not for the faint of heart. It rekindles the L/L intimacy in a whole new way.
- TVA – I am not a huge lover of Armand but in this book I feel like I got to know him better, it’s sumptuous, I would like a graphic novel plzkthanx, and it has an edginess as he is telling his story to someone who hasn’t yet earned his full trust and respect.
- BaG – Marius’ story, follows Armand’s in my list bc I like Armand just 12% more than Marius. Partially bc of what Marius does in the later canon ugh. He lost alot of points for me. I can explain his reasons but I don’t have to LIKE THE OUTCOME all the same.
- PL – Not sure if canon but… there are a few scenes in here that could stand alone and are worth reading the book for, plus I definitely approve of the last few major plot points. I think those were handled very well and would reread them. Yes I can start at 25% from the end of a book and reread from there WHY NOT?
- BW – Quinn has grown more tolerable to me over time, and his story is very rural NOLA IIRC, with alot of spiritual stuff happening.
- Pandora – I never really “got” her when I tried to read this when I was 15, probably bc her ship with Marius was so impossible for both of them, and her sadness was too much but I should give this book another try alllllll these
number ofyears later. - BC – one of the crackiest for sure. I can’t remember most of it but it was intended to be the last VC, so it has a bunch of things happening as if it were the last opportunity to have them happen. Also the crossover… um… yeah, no.
