Hey, re: Lestat = overweight golden retriever post: submit pics/gifs of your VC characters as animals! Bonus points if you include dialogue, canon quotes, and/or reasons for your choice(s). I’ll collect them and post my faves.
Here’s Owl!Armand and Cat!Lestat [X]:
“no means no armand” *boops his nose*
It changes over time, I have a place in my heart for all the main characters from earlier canon (mainly books 1-5).
My gateway character was Claudia, definitely my fave when I first read IWTV when I was 11. I could relate to her frustration at not being taken seriously as an adult. She was just the perfect mix of sweetness and icy screamy-ness and had Louis wrapped around her little finger (WHICH btw, I saw as a purely platonic relationship).
{X}
Of course I loved Louis after her. How could I not? For his dignified manner, his high tolerance for bullshit, his love for books, his ability to hold back, and his ability to break out a can of fiery whoopass when it’s called for. For his frayed sweaters and how he doesn’t really care about fashion but how good he looks when he lets Lestat or Claudia play dress up with him. Because he probably smells like beeswax candles and jasmine.
He’s also very pretty and his hair feels like silk.
… All that said, Lestat was my real spirit animal in adolescence, and he’s the one that I keep coming back to as my true fave.
Lestat was someone I needed as I confronted the usual bullying in school, the usual seeking my own way into this world and the obstacles that go along with that. He taught me so many things. Most importantly, to have faith in yourself and not be afraid to try new things, meet new ppl. Some ppl will reject you just for being new. Some may reject you because you don’t have good chemistry with them. That’s all fine. You might become very close with some, and fail each other in some way, or just end up growing apart. It happens.
How could I not love him with this combination (and more!) of character traits: Charismatic, mixing silly with sinister, mysteriously hinting at a rich and traumatic backstory in IWTV (which we definitely got later), and of course, lastly, pretty damn good-looking.
And he does make mistakes, tons of them! If you really read the books, that’s where he lays out his mistakes and apologizes in the way he’s better able to do than verbally.
{X}
I’ve always loved mean characters, antagonists, monsters… those who were written off as “just mean,” “just evil,” or “just crazy,” these are the ones I want to know more about. Why are they this way? Is this a shield they put up to protect themselves from further hurt?
My grandmother was like this. I broke through her tough exterior and found a kindred spirit. She’s gone now, and I think my radical empathy for antagonists is kind of a search to find her in other ppl, fictional and real alike.
^Watch the above 5x.
♛I’ll field this one, lovelies. Why not? I’m in an especially satisfied mood, would love to bottle it to share with you all. *slips on a robe and gets comfortable* Since that’s not an option, at least I can play one of your fun little question games…

^Okay I think that’s enough.
You never know if someone needs this. Reblog this, even if its not your ‘blog type’. Just do it.
Yes, please reblog
Do it. Now.
i sat here and thought about reblogging this or not but then i realized how many people feel suicidal, and i have too its not dan and phil but i could honestly care less, bc i rather have someone not die then make sure i strictly stay to my ‘blog type’
Blog type doesn’t matter. Caring for people does.
My “Drafts” page looks more like a side blog now.
… Mine basically is a side blog’s worth. It’s all the posts I couldn’t reblog but couldn’t scroll past either! It’s approaching the same amount of posts I’ve actually posted ;A;
I’m curious now, how many drafts does everyone else have? Reblog with the number in the tags or as a comment.
You sweet thing let me love u! *u*
And I really do want to share more about myself, bc I am not, unfortunately, Tom Cruise from 1994. If I could be, I might be. But I very much am not. Idk tho, would I want to be a dude? Hmmmm… Better cancel that appointment with Raglan James…
1. I went to NOLA recently and my best friend graciously snapped this pic of me and my new boyfriend
Currently, I smile more for pics… I went through a phase where I thought I was as fat as Teddy here, I was definitely bigger but not that big… and that was an embarrassing time, I lost 30 lbs when I first moved to NY from
joining weight watchers and all the walking.
HIT THE JUMP FOR THE REST, bc images make it a LONG POST.
2. ROLLERBLADING
Yes, as a child of the early 90′s, I have always been into rollerblading when the weather’s appropriate for it. The challenge is in finding a place to do it, which is tough, bc there are little kids and dogs to be run over EVERYWHERE in the city.
Here I am equipped w/ wristguards bc I broke my left wrist on rollerblades about 10 yrs ago and I don’t need a repeat of that experience ever. Took this pic awhile ago, back when I was not smiling for selfies. Also featured: my actual real curly hair which I usually straighten bc of reasons I could go into if u really want to know.
I have also changed my couch covering since then, no more hot pink! But I do still have that blanket and use it when it gets bitter cold here.
3. Handmodeling
I have an off-and-on career as a hand model and even tho I hardly do it anymore (scheduling conflicts mostly), I really liked it, and I still think my hands are aesthetically pleasing. Like c’mon, look at those airplane-hangar shaped nails! 100% REAL.
4. NYC
As u may or may not have gathered by now, I live in New York City. It’s pretty cool. Yeah. I live on the West side, near Columbus Circle. So if there’s anything you need photographed in NYC, I might be willing to go do it for ya!
5. I CAN ONLY COOK A LIMITED MENU
But that menu includes very good French Toast. I have received rave reviews from actual foodies so I know it’s not just my bias. That’s turkey bacon with it. 10/10 would bang highly recommend.
If you want to know even MORE about me…
My policy with this blog is that it should only be VC-related… and that means I can’t be in it very much as a human, but maybe I should change that. Do you really want to know more about me?
I’m very approachable tho, so if you come off anon and message me privately, then I can feel more free to talk about myself w/out spamming my followers’ dashes! *u*
vladbitchtepes
Violinxbitch, kinda accurate…
thelionsbitchclaws
That sounds even more intimidating….I’ll scratch your eyes out!
Tragique-bitch.
It’s not fitting at all… It’s not.//auburnandamberbitch

Has a nice ring to it.
