Someone who’s a graphic designer help me.
Anyway, here is a fake tourist shirt graphic for the goofiest hangout in all of The Vampire Chronicles, Daniel and Armand’s home, Night Island.
Edit: There is only one of these and Daniel made it for himself to be a pest.

Look all I’m saying is, if snapchat existed in the 80’s Daniel would most definitely have ‘not so passive’ aggressively snapped Armand a lot.
but what if he just took Polaroids and left them all over the place for Armand to find when he woke up. YOU CAN WRITE LITTLE NOTES/CAPTIONS ON THE WHITE STRIP ON THE BOTTOM so it definitely happened.
He definitely did that. Someone artsy make them now, I need them in my life

Sometimes I feel like Louis. In my family, no matter how much I warn someone not to do something because there not going to like the consequences, they never listen and then I have to hear them complaining about how much they regret their decision. It’s mostly my mom, my older sister, or my teenager niece who don’t listen. It sucks being the voice of reason in my family when no one listens to me.
I know that feel, anon, and so does Louis. He definitely gives good advice (even if that advice is just “Wait! Think about this a little more!”) and even his most loved ones flat out ignore him.

And then Louis has to help them pick up the pieces from the damage that Doing the Thing caused :-
On the plus side, he had become so good at giving advice that by QOTD, I think his arguments to Akasha re: not Doing the Thing were the strongest of the whole group! But he still failed to convince her. She didn’t even address his points. As shown by that scene, unfortunately, you can have the best warnings, the best arguments, your logic can be watertight, and ppl will still want to do what they want to do. The old adage is still true: You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink. I mean in Louis’ case, it was You can make a glass of blood for a vampire, but you can’t make him drink! He’s had his own share of resistance to advice, too.
When I think about my failures in warning those I care about re: the consequences of their actions, and then I’m proven right when they’re complaining about their decisions, I try to have peace of mind that I did my best bc I still care about them and their well-being. Hopefully they can at least appreciate that I care enough about them to continue to warn them against harm.
I took QotD out of the shelf after x years, randomly went thru pages and then read about how Daniel and Armand were heading to Lestat’s concert wearing glorious couple look (or at least that’s the image this particular translation lead me to believe), and one point Daniel holding Armand from his belt so he wouldn’t get lost in the crowd while spacing out.
Gosh darn these vampires, these fools. I love them all. o<-<
Nina Bonina Brown, who’s a current contestant on this season of RuPaul’s Drag Race, did a cosplay of our favorite vampire queen, Akasha, back in 2015. Check out those makeup skills!! I love her creativity!

Akasha.
Chibi fanart of Akasha planning to rule the world. 😀 Sorry for the low res, it’s a photo of the original sketch. Hope you enjoy it. 😉
Hello, I wonder if vampire can be taken a picture? Can their image show up in photos?
//ooc; idk about other vampires, it varies. The What We Do in the Shadows vampires could have photos taken of them, but couldn’t see their own reflection in mirrors *shrugs*.
Ricean vampires can see their own reflections in mirrors.
Omg, I totally forgot about this, but apparently Khayman has mental photoshop powers?? From QOTD:
[Khayman] liked the libraries where he could find photographs of ancient monuments in big smooth good-smelling
books. He took his own photographs of the new cities around him and sometimes he could put images onthese pictures which came from his thoughts. For example, in his photograph of Rome there were Roman
people in tunics and sandals superimposed upon the modern versions in their thick ungraceful clothes.
I headcanon that Ricean vampires can be photographed, and they take selfies…

Jesse also sees photos of Armand in QOTD:
David had put something in her hand. Reluctantly she took her eyes off the painting. She found herself
staring at a tintype, a late-nineteenth-century photograph. After a moment, she whispered: “This is the same
boy!““Yes. And something of an experiment,” David said. “It I was most likely taken just after sunset in impossible
lighting conditions which might not have worked with another subject. Notice not much is really visible but
his face.” True, yet she could see the style of the hair was of the period. I “You might look at this as well,”
David said. And this time he gave her an old magazine, a nineteenth-century journal, the I kind with narrow
columns of tiny print and ink illustrations. There was the same boy again alighting from a barouche-a I hasty
sketch, though the boy was smiling.
Armand put the Macarena on Lestat’s chillax playlist. Again.
When was the first time you saw Interview with the Vampire? For me I watched it at age 10 or 11 I think, I do remember I was very young. I remember my older sister watching it and I guess I decided to watch it along with her. I remember watching it with her when we visited our dad and he wasn’t home. We weren’t allowed to watch such movies like that but we didn’t care. My dad’s from Liberia and they’re very superstitious (well at least my dad is) and movies like IWTV frighten them.
Well first of all, #I love these kind of stories, where ppl talk about how they got sucked into this fandom, whether it’s when they first saw movie!IWTV (or movie!QOTD) or starting reading one of the books…
Movie!IWTV is frightening, there are brutally scary parts. It touches on a lot of taboo subjects. The kind of violence it has is scary partly because there’s the element of betrayal in many instances, definitely when Claudia knifes Lestat, and then when Louis sets him on fire ;A; We laugh about it now bc if we didn’t have a sense of humor about it, it would just be too cruel. But that is really cute that you watched it with your older sister, hopefully she explained things that were confusing or at least provided some support during the scary parts ;]
I was given book!IWTV when I was 11 and saw the movie soon after, sneaking over to my best friend’s house bc it was rated R and I wasn’t allowed to watch it. It was dark comedy to us, and we ended up watching it repeatedly, trying to memorize the lines so we could say them along with the movie. Our favorite line had to be:
“Just remember: Life – without me – would be even more unbearable.” And I can’t really gif that out, the shot is pretty dark, but you remember, it was here:
That line was a declaration between us, too. We’re still best friends to this day, 20+ years after bonding over this series!
VC had a huge enough influence on us. For better or worse *shrugs*
I was an ambivert. I was completely obsessed with antagonists, too. The VC encouraged me to develop all those extroverted traits I loved in Lestat, which other characters didn’t always approve of, but he dgaf! He marched to his own drum. He craves the spotlight for validation but his own love for himself outweighs these external rewards. The VC has been a huge source of strength. So much great advice. Here’s an example, that suffering can be embraced as being a valuable part of our experience, too:
“It’s an awful truth that suffering can deepen us, give a greater luster to our colors, a richer resonance to our words. That is, if it doesn’t destroy us, if it doesn’t burn away the optimism and the spirit, the capacity for visions, and the respect for simple yet indispensable things.” – Lestat, Queen of the Damned
But really, the quote that bound me and my best friend together, that’s what I hope for fandom to accomplish. We do come and go, but I’ve been in this for 20+ years, and it seems to me that VC fandom as a whole will always be here for those who want it.
“Just remember: Life – without me – would be even more unbearable.”
^What I think is also worth mentioning here is that Lestat could have killed Louis or just left Louis in NOLA at any time (before Claudia). But he didn’t. Even at his worst, Lestat was still fascinated with Louis, and life – without him – would have been even more unbearable ❤
