hi, long time fan just wanted to say you’re my favorite person and I love this blog. also I think Lestat is my favorite flawed vampire.

Aw thank u so much u sweet sleepy party person! I am grateful for long-term followers who have stuck with this madness for any length of time (and also the (metaphorical) fresh blood of new ones) ❤ I AM UR FAVORITE PERSON?! Go on… tell me more about meeee…. j/k… or am I really just kidding hehehe…

Lestat is MY fave flawed vampire as well, obviously… and Pssssst: Lestat is also his OWN favorite flawed vampire shhhhhh top secret that everyone knows….

LOVE your blog. I check it all the time, it’s just such a great compilation of all fun VC type stuff <3 Thanks for being there!!!

Awww merci beaucoup! Fresh memeything for you bc of the wait like honestly this was 8 days old i do apologiiiize

(BTW our mutual facepalming over Lestat was probably about this post)

Yes yes, memeything/fanart/fanfic/fanwork inspiration is, in actuality, the highest compliment to this blog, bc that’s REALLY what I do it for. When I started this thing there was fanwork but it was (and still is) all over the interwebs, and in my opinion there is not enough of it there is NEVER enough of it, so I wanted to have a collection of it for everyone’s enjoyment/inspiration, and a good resource for the fresh stuff, too 😀

Wow, your journey to VC is so touching, that our precious Sheeps shepherded you to us, was it this fanart of 

Tonio Treschi?

You read Cry to Heaven –> saw sheepskeleton‘s fanart of it > sheepskeleton‘s fanart lead you here > now you’re one of us!! 

#I love these kind of stories, and we (I’m sure I speak for others, too) enjoy your presence here. Great url, btw! He is Emperor of the Undead, lol. 

I enjoyed Cry to Heaven, I don’t remember it very well, should reread it. I seem to recall that the main character reminded me of Armand. 

Papá, I wanted to thank you for eveything. You and Papá Noir, Louis, for saving me back then and for the numerous moments of love that we shared. Happy Father’s Day to both of you, although a little late. I love you eternally. -livingdollclaudia

♛ Mon bijou, on those darker nights when I feel more alone than ever, I often close my eyes, and imagine you near, nestled against Louis and I as he reads us one of your favorite stories. You were always as much mine as his, and we both belonged to you. Was it fate that led him to find you? Was it fate that forced me with burning purpose to keep you with us? I remember your scent – lavender, white gardenia, and chrysanthemums. Spring captured and reformed into the perfect little girl. We love you still.

Hi, I just wanted to say that your blog is delightful! I love it!

thank u, much appreciate <3!

Good things come in small packages. But then again, so does poison.

♛ OH THAT IS RUDE. It didn’t take much poison then to bring me to my knees, did it? Well I’ll have you know that I spent the last few years building up an immunity to iocane powder *snorts* 

Alright it wasn’t iocane powder she used. But the point stands, I can’t be poisoned with such a small dose of anything now. 

Hey, I asked two questions a couple weeks ago and it still hasn’t been answered. One was about what kind of music the VC vampires listened too and the other was about what Louis would do if he were human for one day. Just wondering what’s taking so long because usually my questions are answered within a few days.

Yessss, I received those! I’m still thinking about them!

^this could be a text from either one of them tbh…


I’m sorry, normally I CAN and do reply within a few days, as part of my Being the Active and Responsive VC Blogger I Want to See in the World. I actually have a backlog of a number of asks… It’s very unusual that I don’t reply within a few days. I’ll try to get my inbox cleared this week, promis juré! (”pinky swear!” learned this from takemetocoffin-or-losemeforever <3)

I could say the reason I didn’t reply is that “I’m busy,” but that’s also often used as a blanket excuse answer, so I’ll prove it: 

I’ve had a flurry of fanwork inspiration in the past 2 weeks; some recent RPing, I was working on a ficlet for a fandom friend’s birthday that I posted recently, and another 2 ficlets that I haven’t posted yet (1 is ready and the other is not), and before that I made two VC parody videos [1, my first original post to break 10K notes!! zomg!] and [2 which features a snippet of Britney Spears music aww yisss]… 

ALSO I have a personal rule that I try not to post more than 10x a day, I don’t want to spam y’all and I think I’m over my limit today. Even though fanworks are happy spam (ノ°∀°)ノ’.:*・°☆

SPECIFICALLY THOSE ASKS THOUGH:

I guess it’s hard because in terms of music, that’s a big answer, and I’m trying to think of ways to answer it without it being a Wall of Text™ because noone wants to read that much…

Aaaand the Louis question is also hard because that’s another potential Wall of Text™ because there are so many things I think he’d love! And there’s the question of does he get to decide where he is when it happens? Maybe he’d want to go somewhere outside NOLA for a daylight experience. 

So I’m still percolating on those and all my asks, please be patient, it’s always worth the wait from Mater Fabuloso, oui?

Does anyone call you by any cute nicknames?

I suppose it’s hard to nickname someone when they only have a one syllable name. And I hate when people try and give me flower nicknames. Never, ever, try and do that. I am not your little ‘rosebud’ who is ready to be ‘plucked’. Ugh, even mentioning it makes me sick.

Beej calls me doll. Bianca calls me her star. Antoine calls me dove. I’m not really sure what I’ve done to deserve these, but I’ll take them.

What about you Lestat? Do you have any nicknames for me?

Oh, and Daniel calls me Chickpea.

♛Well, a nickname isn’t always a shortening of one’s name… although I’m often called ‘Stat, which I find very amusing, as it’s also the abbreviation for statim, Latin for “immediately”, used in the medical field (have I been in hospitals and heard this called out, and thought it was someone trying to get my attention? Hmmmm? Maybe!), but I digress, this is about you, darling ❤

I hadn’t heard those nicknames for you! Daniel’s very good, I’m changing your name in my phone to Chickpea. Too cute not to.

I don’t think I ever called you by any floral nicknames, but I completely agree with your reasons for detesting them. I don’t like being called Blondie, which Armand does to irritate me, and it raises my ire without fail EVERY TIME HE DOES IT. 

When you were a little girl, I called you variations on précieux and mon bijou, do you remember? 

How on earth do you pronounce Louis’ last name? I have never really knew how to pronounce it. To be honest his last name is a mouthful.

♛“Pssssst: that’s not the only thing about him that’s a mouthful.”

Alright *shoves Lestat aside* to answer your question: How to pronounce Louis de Pointe du Lac: you’re lucky I took French in high school which has been EVER so useful to me in my adult life. NOT.

  • Louis: “Loo-wee”, with less emphasis on the “wee” part.
  • de: “dih,” means “from” in French.
  • Pointe: “Pwan” with almost no emphasis on the “n,” means  “tip.”
  • du: “due,” means “of.”
  • Lac: “Lack,” means, “lake.”

BRING IT ALL TOGETHER! Emphasis on Pointe and Lac bc of reasons.

“Loo-wee dih Pwan due

Lack,” “Louis from the tip of the lake.”

This has been your French lesson.
