Could you give me a little help? I can never remember the difference between the VC characters Santiago and Santino. Are they even different characters or are they the same and I just imagined one of them? Sorry for asking but I don’t have time to skim the books and thought you would know :)

I used to get them mixed up early on, too. They’re VERY different. And yet similar. (also I don’t think they’re ever in the same place together in the series, which is neither here nor there, but whatever) This is Santiago, we meet him in IWTV:

[memeything by ouija—bored]

Santiago is a BAMF, and he’s Armand’s right-hand man at the Theatre des Vampires, also an actor there, usually plays the narrator or character of “Death” in their gruesome stage performances. Santiago does NOT like Louis from the moment they meet. Santiago can sense weakness in Louis, and Santiago is also suspicious of Claudia just for her existence; it’s against the rules to make child vampires. Santiago is not gonna let that slide. 

Santino is a BAMF, too. We meet him in TVL, he trains Armand to become the coven master of the Children of Darkness, eventually helming the Scranton Paris branch in the cemetery of Les Innocents. More on him in TVA and B&G, which I have not memorized yet. Santino is the leader of a coven of Satanic vampires, the members of which hold a common belief that they are meant to be the scourge of humankind. I can’t say more without spoiling you, so go to Wiki for more.


You can also ask a Santino RPer! vampirexsantino would probably answer more. He’s the only active Santino I know of rn, and I don’t know any active Santiagos. vampiresantiago is inactive, but you might like perusing their archive.

If I want to be selective, or semi-selective, do I need to make a list of people who I want to (or usually) roleplay with? What if that person (or everyone) doesn’t want to be in the list?

{{I should be answering this privately, but can’t, bc you’re on anon. I do know some things about RP, but I am in no way an authority on it. Ask a few RPers for their definitions. Anyone can reblog this and add their comments, too.}}

One thing is for sure: Don’t make a public list of people you plan to RP with. It can make the not-listed people feel left out and can lead to you getting anonhate. You can do what you like privately, of course! Make all the lists you want privately. 

Now, it’s fine to make a tag list AFTER you have been RPing and have multiple muse interactions, it’s a nice way to organize your threads and give your readers/followers a way to look on your blog for certain interactions ;]

“selective” means that you only RP with mutuals (ppl who you follow & who also follow you).

“semi-selective” means you RP mainly with mutuals, but are open to others on a case-by-case basis. 

In my blog’s description I have: “Sometimes a selective Ask blog” which I wrote before I knew the fandom definition of “selective.” I was/am using that in the normal context of the word, meaning that I will sometimes answer things as my muse RP, if it feels appropriate.

“I’m so happy to see devilsfool back. Their Lestat is phenomenal. He reads just like early-canon Lestat! Their RPs have always brightened my dash. So much love to them.”

//OMG This is the sweetest thing to ever cross my dash and I don’t even know how to react to it. 

Thank you so much! That means so much to me, you can’t even know!

RP requests

{{I have had a few threads out there on this blog and a few requests to RP, so I’m answering it here.}}


I’m dropping all outstanding threads. I’m flattered that ppl want to RP with my Lestat <3, but for now and the forseeable future, I won’t be RPing with anyone on this blog. This is still an Ask blog, but no real threads, as I don’t have the time for everyone who wants a thread. To pursue some and not others is like playing favorites. 

There are much more active ones out there, anyway! A great way to engage other RP blogs is to find the ones you like and see how they promote themselves. They usually send out Ask memes, and send eachother Asks, and that kind of thing. Make sure your Ask inbox is turned on so that people can send your muse messages.

Vampire Chronicles as some may know is my absolute favorite best most loved series of all time. I adore Anne Rice so much and have almost all of her books (due to my mom also being a huge fan).

I’ve been wanting to share my love for this series for so long and there’s FINALLY a devoted Fandom to love it with?! I’m so happy u guys! I’ve read every book and can’t wait for “Blood Paradise” to come out!!!!!!!!!

If anybody is in the VC Fandom too and wouldn’t mind another follower, please reblog cuz I’ll join all of u guys without hesitation!!!!

I wouldn’t also mind a follow back too I guess, but my blogs mostly anime trash and random stuff. Thank you very much!

Sorry followers for the random heart throbbing post, I’m just really really excited about this and I can’t seem to find all the blogs for this Fandom. Also want u guys to know that I’m sorry for bombarding u with one topic for a while…thank u too
