Fan Made Painting of River as Lestat

“When it came to casting the role of the Vampire Lestat in the much anticipated screen adaptation of Anne Rice’s best seller Interview with the Vampire, River Phoenix was the author’s first choice. She felt that Phoenix, with his mysteriously haunted yet fragile quality was perfect to play the Vampire and fought for him to get the part. It was the first big-budget Hollywood movie for Irish Neil Jordan. Jordan was at the mercy of the studio, who wanted proven box-office star Tom Cruise for the starring role. They agreed to give Phoenix the lesser role of Malloy, the narrator, as a consolation prize. Rice was furious when Cruise was cast and went public to complain about his being the wrong choice”

HOW ABOUT WE DON’T HURT REAL PEOPLE OVER FICTIONAL SHIPS

Warning for needles, links to disturbing images

[Tweet: A fanartist was offered hand made cookies at a con. Only to find out they have needles inside and pierced her tongue]

The fanartist in question is Avimedes, a Taiwanese fanartist who draws primarily for Undertale. On May 10th she posted on her Plurk (warning for images with blood, needles) that she was given cookies as a gift; she ate one and a needle pierced her tongue. 

Here is a translation of her post:

Warning, these photos contain a lot of blood.

I’m very sorry that I haven’t had a chance to say my thanks (for the convention?) and I am venting. But I received a needle in my dessert gift from the convention. Thank you, I have one more piercing now.

I am not trying to ask for comfort, I am only trying to tell everyone how serious is this matter, so do not comfort me.

This matter is unable to be investigated and hopeless to be investigated. This matter has made me lost of trust towards something, but from today onwards, I will not be accepting any more handmade food by others.

Any more follow up and notice will be posted(if there’s any), thank you for your attention.

From discussion (Twitter, Reddit) it seems likely that she was given these cookies because she draws Sans/Frisk art, and a “fan” decided that drawing a ship they didn’t like was worthy of attempted murder. Had Avimedes swallowed the needle it could have done considerable and possibly irreparable internal damage. 

So I will say this again: DO NOT HARM REAL PEOPLE OVER FICTIONAL ENTITIES. I don’t care what the content is. These purity crusades need to STOP. The amount of vitriol and anger that the anti-shipping circles not only accept but encourage is dangerous, unhealthy, and unless stopped will lead to more people being hurt. There’s already been at least one incident of an artist being harassed into a suicide attempt. 

Your moral indignation/righteous anger/upset feelings DO NOT justify the injury or death of other people. You have every right to protect yourself from viewing objectionable content, but that right stops far, far short of hurting other people. Going on these crusades DOES NOT HELP against the sort of issues that are purportedly being championed; it only causes more harm. We need to break away from this mindset, from purity culture, before someone is permanently injured or dies.   

FICTION =/= REALITY
STOP HURTING PEOPLE

Things like this makes me loose faith in humanity

Hall of Shame

rational people: hey maybe don’t literally attempt murder on someone over shipping drama that’s one of the least okay things you could do with your free time

slime mold at a keyboard: i mean that’s debatable but it really depends on the ship

I’m reblogging this again because wtf

Just Anti Things: this

Also I feel like we really should make an anti hall of shame for stuff like this

How to come up with names for your dystopian teen lit:

Try to say regular names with a bunch of Oreos in your mouth!

Examples:  Jocelyn = Jorslun.  Elizabeth = Lisbit.  Daniel = Dannel.

You’re welcome.

Following up on this idea.  I tried this method with a hamburger in my mouth, in lieu of Oreos. Results:

Alice = Allit.   Mark = Marth.  Tommy = Domi.

Confirmed: a mouth full of President Choice White Mac and Cheese  produces a subset of names with a more badass tilt to them.  

Examples: Chris = Rith.  Brittany = Brickney.  Megan = Mayhem. 

I JUST CACKLED OUT LOUD IN PUBLIC

This is an amazing tool.

when your ass of a rockstar bf makes you wear couple’s shirts in public

OMG -chokes on laughter- #perfect just perfect

@kotilae and I were discussing how these shirts came to be made and well…


Scene: Rue Royale; Louis and Lestat making love in the Master Bedroom, bc of course they are, what else would they be doing on a Wednesday night?

Lestat: *stops mid-thrust* “IDEA.”

Louis: “What?”

Lestat: “IDEA I HAVE AN IDEA LOUIS GET OFF OF ME I NEED TO WRITE THIS DOWN”

Lestat: *shoves Louis away, scrambles off the bed, ransacks the desk for pen and paper*

Louis: “wh-”

Lestat: “YES i am sINNNN” *finds pen* “I should advertise myself as such on a t-shirt.”

Louis: *grumbles* “It’s only fair warning.”

Lestat: “YES. And you helped me think of the idea!”

Louis: “I’m not responsible for this”

Lestat: “YOU ARE NOT GUILTY YOU GET A SHIRT THAT SAYS SUCH.”

Louis: *groans*

Lestat: “YES YOU ARE GONNA WEAR THAT.”

Louis: “You are evicted from this room.”

It seems we are getting an Anne Rice film adaptation as early as March 2016! Unfortunately, it’s based on Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt and the film has been renamed to The Young Messiah. At least something is better than nothing.

Okay thanks but like….

I recently watched IWTV for the second time, and I realized with some amusement (and a bit of horror) that the vest Lestat wears when he turns Claudia is the exact same colours with a very similar pattern to the corset I bought a few months ago. The obsession has become subconscious.

OuO FASHION. SUBMIT PIC OF CORSET FOR COMPARISON
