🚩

Something I’ve been wanting to talk about for a while now, as I’ve seen it affect other content creators… We might advocate for positivity, but that doesn’t make us invincible 😔 Please be mindful of what you send to people you follow.

(I am reposting this from twitter, I don’t know if OP has it posted on another tumblr, if so, I will delete this and reblog from OP.)

It’s a powerful message and a good reminder, especially for blogs like mine that advocate for positivity. I have my moments, like any other mortal human being. I stress, I make mistakes, and I apologize. I try to make peace when possible. 

While this blog advocates positivity, it is run by a flawed human being who makes mistakes and is not a walking Google search bar, not Siri, not an ethereal incarnation of constant positivity.

“We’re women, we’re human beings too, and we’re allowed to be as upset, mad or grumpy as we wish to be, for as long as we want.”

Hey all,

I don’t normally do this, sorry for the interruption, this is Not VC related.

One of the best artists I’ve ever seen, @eliciadonze, is getting an enormous amount of hate, both on anon and off. They have tried to block the hate but it is relentless (they posted a few examples, see under the cut). It seems like it has escalated recently.

The best response to this right now is to drown out the hate in positivity, please check out their archive and like/reblog their beautiful art! I’ll be doing that momentarily. Or, send them kind messages. Please do not attempt to give advice. Kind words are a salve to help this artist heal from the cruelty of these anons. 

(If the artist wants me to revise/delete this post, I will do so. I just felt that I might try to help by rallying some positivity).

Warning, these messages are very disgusting and cruel. I include them bc the artist had posted them so that we could see just a tiny sample of what they get on a REGULAR basis. I’m not doing this bc the artist is talented (they ARE!), but because there is absolutely NO REASON EVER to send this kind of vitriol.

came for heartbreakingly gorgeous artwork of armand that matched the mental image i’ve had of him for like 17 years, stayed for MORE ARMAND TBH LMAO but no! HONESTLY! stayed because you’re such a cool person and just A GOOD ONE, and i love all your artwork and you’re so lovely and positive and make me feel good!!!!!

sheepskeleton:

you didn’t ask but I felt like drawing this anyway ❤ 
because you make me feel good as well, with your cute, excited comments under my art ❤

Trying to spread some VC love around here, that last question for Lestat about what he thinks of the tumblr fans, you can/should point out the best points of the specific people in the fandom here.

//ooc; I have a policy of not singling out favorites as it often has the unintentional side effect of making those not mentioned feel left out 😛

We had a blog solely for that purpose, @vcpositivity, and also, for a similar purpose, @vcsecretgifts (which I helped to mod last holiday season and I still owe a substitute gift on!! My fic muse for it has not been cooperating). @vcpositivity had posted over two hundred positive confessions from members of this fandom in the five months since it opened, but had to go inactive shortly after achieving that milestone *cries*

Those blogs still have great messages of VC fandom love pointing out the best points of specific ppl in the fandom here (sadly, some those mentioned are currently inactive). Both positivity blogs are now pretty much dormant, but I hope we can resurrect @vcsecretgifts for this upcoming holiday season :]


However, it appears to me that our fandom is almost at a zenith of fanwork production right now, and the quality is also very high! Fresh fanart and fanfic are being made, analysis of the text continues to thrive, there is a palpable ripple of excitement (or anxiety, depending on your stance, lol) every time we get a scrap of news about the official VC adaptations.

The VC RP community has fluctuated in activity but it’s active, and there are muses to play with. There are also excellent Original Character muses (vampires and non-vampires) in fic and RP. They’re very creative in how they blend in as if they were always part of the Ricean verse, and even expand the supernatural rules of it. 

I would advise you to go to the RPers and ask for recommendations of other members. You could also try my #VC Fandom Hunters tag.

Anyone is welcome to reblog this post and throw positivity towards anyone, or send them an anon message! (ノ^ヮ^)ノ*:・゚✧

duendology replied to your post: anonymous asked:I’m pretty sure h…

The MOST precious creature ever? Precious?

Aww, it’s just a touch of Tumblrland Hyperbole™, y’know! Here’s an example of what I consider precious:

I thought about posting a pic of Claudia but she’s not precious, she’s a weapon of mass destruction disguised as a #perfect cinnamon bun, too good for this world.
