So I’ve only been in the fandom a short while (about two months- 5 books in though, little slow for me but whatever) but I followed you relatively early on and for the life of me idk why but I never remember that I followed you so I’m always like “ooh, VC stuff, nice! Let me follow them…… oh. Right”

[Give us some of your first impressions, who are your faves? What are your ships? And um, excuse u, 5 books in 2 months when you have Real Life, too, that’s not slow to me, heck, when I reread just one of these books it takes me at least 2 months, squeezing it into my “Copious Amounts of Free Time” and I hope this blog isn’t spoiling you too much, if spoiling bothers you I frickin’ love being spoiled, myself). 

Awwww thank u! What a lovely thing to tell me. Welcome to our little corner of tumblrland mmmm fresh blood….

So I try to keep this thing purely VC, and I have my self-imposed post limit, so I think for A LOT of my followers, they probably are like you, and see a post from me, and go, “Oooh a VC blog, I should foll- oh yeah, I already follow it!” Sometimes I even see smtg reblogged from me on my own dash and I go, “Oooh! New VC fanart! I should reblo- I ALREADY REBLOBBED IT!” 

I used to have a rule about reblogging stuff only once so I wouldn’t have duplicates in my archive, but the audience changes, there’s tons of new ppl out on tumblr every year, so WHY THE HECK keep some awesome fanart from their dash just bc I reblogged it 2 years ago??! So I reblob stuff from my own archive sometimes, usually when I’m in there looking for smtg else and I find an old fave that PPL SHOULD SEE! ❤

BTW if you want some more VC stuff, we recently did a @vcsecretgifts, that archive has a bunch of VC fanworks in it and you can find more VC blogs that way ;D

OMG! I just found behind the scenes footage of Interview with the Vampire. It shows mostly Tom Cruise, a little bit of Anne Rice and a little bit of Brad Pitt. The video was uploaded by WalrusRider and the video is called Tom Cruise – “Interview With a Vampire” On Set Footage. Not sure if you’ve seen it already but if you haven’t check it out.

I HAD NOT SEEN IT THANK U! 

It’s so fun to see at least this shot from the other side of the door, lol…

I’ll transcribe it somewhat for y’all:

The narrator is all about the *~secrecy~* like of course Tom Cruise wanted to keep the secrecy of his costumes and makeup and whatever, so as not to spoil the surprise! We have closed sets all the time these days and back then. I don’t think that was just Tom, I think everyone involved in making the movie wanted that secrecy.

  • The narrator pronounces his name the way AR prefers, not the way it’s pronounced in the movie
  • Claudia at 0:15!

  • Makeup touch up!

^X Bruh. 

Hit the jump for more, cut for length.

Keep reading

You’re my favorite blog ever. The amount of times I have typed in your blog name (I’m not supposed to be on tumblr, but here I am, on private mode) is insane. Best wishes, Diana Winchester (From google plus)

Thank you, dearie! I deal a highly addictive substance, definitely worth seeing on private mode, always nice to hear from my heavy users, lol.

Thank you for all the work you do for this fandom. You’re one of the reasons I got into it properly. Bernadette, Happy Christmas xxx

Omg, I love this! Look at this happy vampire family in the snow awww 😍 I love their expressions, and the color scheme you chose has such a dreamy quality. 

You’re so welcome, I do what I do bc when I was starting out, I couldn’t find the VC fandom, it was mostly in hiding then… I’m glad you were inspired to get involved here bc of my blog! *hugs* ✨❤️✨

thank you for making the vc inktober we are are blessed with so much beautiful art omg

But like fuckit yknow I think this is a win/win/win/win situation.

image

I guess tumblr was glitching and your blog wouldn’t come up in the search bar, and I definitely started panicking at the thought of losing you. Glad to see all this is still here.

Awww what a sweet thing to say! Yeah I’d be pretty sad if this blog disappeared, too.

(If this blog is ever shut down w/o warning, I’ll set up a new blog (or ask a few specific ppl here) to post the info of whatever happened to me and tag it #iwantmyiwtv, but hopefully we won’t have to deal w/ that.) 

Bonjour! I love your blog so much, it’s always a highlight of my day to see what’s new here! :)

MERCI BEAUCOUP! It’s an honor to run a blog ppl just have to check on the daily 😀 Since your url has Loki in it, you should probably see what they dressed up as for Halloween one year@cloudsinvenice is responsible.

Also go look at this fanart you won’t regret it!

Tbh I sometimes visualize Lestat running this blog and idk I can’t tell you why it just… happens??

[Um, Lestat does run this blog…]

I do answer asks directed to Lestat under #Lestat muse! His responses are just a touch edgier than mine, a little wordier bc I’d imagine he likes flexing his vocabulary, he’s a Writer, an Actor, an ARTIST. I imagine that he’d love blogging, getting questions from fans and that whenever he sits down to do it, he’s in a good mood, recently fed and warm and wanting to be generous with his affection and his time. So it’s somewhat //ooc bc the ‘real’ Lestat would probably be much sharper, have a shorter fuse, than the way I treat him. 

I’m super picky about what I reblog bc I try to keep posts to a 10/day limit, but I do have a #Lestat likes this tag, and #Lestats closet, for stuff I think he’d like/have. It’s a very high compliment that you feel like this blog is actually run by him <333 I’ve always been drawn to his sense of humor, some of his fashion sense aligns with mine, and his overall desire to give/receive affection is something I can relate to, even if we both fail at it sometimes. He’s an enormous failure in many ways but he keeps trying. 

I am aware, bc I’ve read all of canon (except, not yet finished PLROA I’M SO SORRY but it will happen!), that he is also extremely problematic and I choose not to discuss my opinions about that publicly, but it is something I do grapple with privately. Reconciling some of his worst crimes against others with the loving, sassy, charming being he can be and wants to be most of the time, that’s a challenge. I choose to focus on the positive aspects of this fictional character in public.

I just want to say thanks for keeping this blog going! It brightens my day to see your posts

Thanks, Anon! That means so much!

Full disclosure, I got this a little over a week ago, and I meant to reply sooner, but I was hanging onto it, just kinda hoarding it for the feels, I hope you still feel the same way 9 days later and at least one post about problematic stuff *laughcries*

I used to have a rule about asks, responding within 48 hours, and I’ll try to honor that again!

Hey! I wanted to refer to fics where Lestat bottoms in general but still , thank you a lot for the fic rec!!!! And I love your blog :)

(Oh, I would think Lestat might bottom more often in Lestat/Nicolas fics, try searching for that pairing on AO3! You’re welcome, re: that one fic I rec’d, I hope you like it, even though it does come with a lot of warnings.)

Thank u for loving this blargh! Much appreciated <333
