Well that wasn’t surprising… he’s my spirit animal, for better or worse (often for worse) *facepalm.

- Prince Lestat book release
Whether to go to the Anne Rice Vampire Lestat Fan Club Lestat Coronation Ball
aggravation bc i really want to, but can i justify 2 trips to NOLA in one calendar year?! I still haven’t edited the pics from that trip to share with u all argh… Plus then I’d have to pull together some kind of OUTFIT and I know that will involve shopping at my fave goth store and SPENDING SERIOUS $ bc I don’t just cruise the SALE RACK (but I do tend to check that out first just in case) bc I am a CLASSY BIATCH.

Awww thanks ♥ There is, in actuality, more to me than my VC addiction so I will give u 5 non-VC facts:
– My middle name is Dorothy (and i love the Wizard of Oz)
– I’m 5’3"
– I’ve been backstage at 2 Nine Inch Nails concerts
– I met Kevin Bacon, so anyone who knows me has 2 degrees.
– I used to blow glass, and even considered majoring in it in college.
I looooove your blog is the best on tumblr ♥ I’m new on the vc fandom! I just read IWTV (but first I watched the movie) and The vampire Lestat now I’m going to read queen of the dammed *-* but I cannot wait to read The vampire Armand ♥ He is one of my favorites! so uke and bastard I love him :3 and your memes are the best thats why I love this blog! :)
awwww thank u anon! Such compliments! Very sweet. U inspired me to finally knock this off my to-do list:
Welcome to our madness. Omg Armand is a cute little uke and a bastard, isn’t he… Come off anon so I can check out your blog, too *u*
(just don’t watch the QotD movie before you read the book)(Better yet don’t watch it at all)(I still haven’t)(It’s too painful, what I’ve seen already cannot be unseen)(but a VC friend has volunteered to help me watch it the whole way thru)(There Will Be Adult Beverages at this screening so help me)
Hi, I only started reading the VC last year so I am really new to the fandom. So far I have only read the first two books and a lot of people seem to not like many of the sequels. Could you suggest which one of the other books I should/should not read?
Welcome to our stable of unstable vampires! 😀
That’s true, some people don’t consider the books past #4 (Tale of the Body Thief) or #5 (Memnoch the Devil) to be canon.
Definitely read these:
– Queen of the Damned (but the movie is terrible and only loosely simialr to the book, don’t traumatize yourself with that!)
– Tale of the Body Thief – Lestat takes Doing the Thing to an extreme.
– the Vampire Armand – bc of reasons.
– Memnoch the Devil – this one presents some really interesting stuff on religion, it’s almost like fanfic of the Bible; I’m not a religious person and I still got alot out of it. Plus it has alot of Feels.
They do get exponentially more insane starting with #5 (someone coined the phrase “the Vampire Crackicles” for those) but that doesn’t mean they’re not worth a try. It’s still intriguing to know what happens/happened to the characters. I think you should keep going in order and see what you think!

Well! I never do these, but I am quite flattered to have been tagged in one.
I think I’ll make up my own questions bc this is a VC blog and that’s what it’s about, not ME.
1. When/why did you first read the VC?
I was 11 yrs old. I was offered the book from a fringe girl at summer camp who saw me reading the Shining and told me that altho I seemed to like stuff like this, I wouldn’t be able to handle IWTV. She gave me her obviously tattered paperback, and I loved it. I more than proved her wrong. I blame her for the whole addiction.
2. Which VC character did you first relate to the most and is that still your current choice?
I related to Claudia first, being an 11 yr old girl and wanting to be taken seriously and treated like an adult was important. I was told by the adults who could perceive it that I was wise beyond my years.
Then I moved on to Louis, bc he’s all adorable and trying to figure out his place in the world and Brad Pitt and *swoon*… but I quickly realized I was more attracted to him than empathizing with him, I was always more in-your-face, impulsive, often tactless, and a drama-queen, so Lestat became my fave. And that’s persisted to this day.
….
I dunno… those are the only questions I feel like answering for now!
Anyone who follows me is welcome to answer those two, I’m always curious about when/why people became interested in the series and which character(s) they relate to most.
Or the questions from the original post, that’s fine, too!
This Depresses Louis
Attn: I have been asked to remove this fanart and this fanart from my blog, so you have a few hours to grab it before I have time to delete those posts. It’s not bc of AR or C&D’s or anything scary, just was a request and I will respect it. Bedgrudgingly. But I will respect it!
If you’re seeing this message too late, sorries 😦
WANTED: VC Fanart
I hope that blast of fanart was sufficient apology for my earlier SOPA spamming, omg.
BTW I am always looking for awesome VC fanart… do submit… I don’t bite ♥u♥
Where does i find the tresors i find?
Someone asked me where I’m finding these cut scene stills that I just binge-posted.
The answer is: All over the internet. Usually it’s when I do a search-by-image for a higher resolution version of an IWTV screengrab/production still I notice on my tumblr dash, sometimes the site that has the higher res version of the image is someone’s IWTV still & fanart collection, which I dig around in, and save things from. I don’t source to these sites bc they’re just collections, too. I try to source the image back to wherever its actual source is, when I can find it.
Always interested in rare production stills and cut scene stills, so do submit them I’ll give you credit in addition to the source link 😀
