Also, I adore your blog! <3 It was what finally pushed me to stop staring at the VC books on my shelf and actually pick them up and order some more. So thank you and stay awesome! :)

Aw thank u so much! ♥u♥

Please keep us posted on your thoughts as u progress, altho we all love these stories, we can never quite recapture the thoughts and feels we had when we first read them. And I’m telling you, you will probably enjoy my crazy more when you know the series better.

Note also: I’m tagging this #Free VC Advertising, which is my new tag for posts in which ppl tell me they’re reading/buying the VC bc they were inspired to do so by my blog. This will help protect the blog in the event that *someone* wants to take it down (on the grounds that it’s detrimental to the sales of the VC).

If people are inspired by this blog enough to read/buy the books, well, then I’d say it’s doing the exact opposite, it’s PROMOTING the series! 

Best. Blog. Ever!!!!!! You’re an awesome person and I’m glad you’re here👻

Mon Dieu such high praise! Best blog EVER? Thank u, much appreciate, it always feels good to know my mere presence is wanted *u* btw top secret but i may be considering doing some videos of myself so u can see me in the flesh stay tuned….

#SOMETIMES I THINK ABOUT HOW HE DIDN’T BLAME HER #AND HOW HE LOVES HER #AND I CRY #LESTAT DE LIONCOURT #CLAUDIA #VAMPIRE CHRONICLES

#Why would u do dis #oh gawd #HE DIDN’T BLAME HER #AND HOW HE LOVES HER #cries forever #;A;

#like he is apologetic here and seeking warmth from her right as she is about to try to assassinate him #she has the knife already tucked into her outfit #;A; #might he have changed her mind if he had played this moment just a little differently?

Just wanted to say that you have an amazing blog! When I first finished IWTV and TVL I feared any fandom that had grown out of these amazing books had long since died. Low and behold this amazing blog turned up on the first google search! I’ve never seen such a positive and artistically gifted fandom with such a nice and thoughtful mod. Thank you for really spreading the love!

Merci beaucoup mon pamplemousse!  Welcome to our little corner of tumblrland ^______^

What a lovely thing to say *flails* Hard to believe this blog is a top google result, that is some kind of accomplishment indeed! The truth is that the VC fandom has been alive and well for a looooong time, but hiding from the light of day due to AR’s war on fanfic during the 90′s. We’ve all slowly come up out of the woodwork and Prince Lestat encouraged even more of us to step into the light, it ushered in the fresh blood, too: ppl who had seen one of the movies or read a few of the books AND NOW WE ARE ALL FRICKIN’ GATHERING HERE. TOGETHER AT LAAAAAST.

We really do have some unbelievably talented VC fanartists, writers, thinkers, RPers, cheerleaders, musicians (yes musicians, too!), etc. I consider myself an addict of all of it, and I curate it all so we can all squee over it, be inspired by each other, and most importantly, MAKE MOAR. 

What a great platform this is, with the ease of fanwork sharing, whether it’s fanmix, fanart, fanfic, meta discussion, RP, VC news linkage, and so much more. What an incredible time to join the fandom, right when it’s having its greatest renaissance in the fandom’s history ❤ 

Messages like yours keep this blog a-thrive. See what I did there? omg i am the Queen of Cheese. WHATEVER IT’S CUTE AS HELL & I AM CUTE AS HELL

lestatemperorofthedead, What a lovely message! *flails*

♥u♥ ONE OF US ONE OF US (Apparently we’re calling ourselves Children of Darkness now, btw)

(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. 

Fellow roleplayer appreciation time: it’s time to tell some of your favorite blogs that you acknowledge, and appreciate their work; let them know that you love them. Spread the love to 10 of your favorite blogs, and if you don’t have 10, then just spread it to the next 10 on your dash!


Got this message from: 

amadeo-child-of-the-renaissance, claudiaindarkness, @everlastingporcelain, which are some damn fine RPers themselves <3<3<3

What is something(s) Daniel does/says that always makes you smile? (fluff-baiting the muse)

damnitarmand:

I am simply tempted to say ‘Damn it, Armand’ here, but that would be too easy, even if it is at least partially truthful.

I enjoy watching him wake. He does not always do this, but if he knows that I was there with him when the death sleep took him, sometimes the first thing that he does upon regaining consciousness is reach for me, or open his eyes to make certain that I am still there or somewhere nearby.

When his voice drops an octave with distraction or desire. Or both. Both at once. That incites a smile of a rather different kind, granted.

If he is learning to get to grips with a new piece of technology or a computer game, the cursing under his breath can be rather charming, if not outright amusing.

One thing, however, that will always work without fail, and always has made me smile: his arms sliding around my waist, his lips at the nape of my neck, and a moment of peace between us under the night sky. Standing in the dark waters near to the edge of Night Island, twined like this with him, nothing has the power to take that moment from us.

This gave me such good #honey nut feelios! The good captain used that phrase in another message, which I must add to my fandom vocab ;}

captainthunderbunny​ here has articulated the issue re: the hate Antonio Banderas gets for being cast as Armand. The good captain put it very well, it’s a movie adaption, it’s not meant to be an exact replica of the book. 

There are all kinds of reasons why a movie has chosen to go in a different direction than the book, the director has chosen to work on the film bc they want to put their spin on the story, so if you don’t like elements they’ve changed, consider them AU to your headcanon.

It’s so good to promote such peaceable ppl as the captain ❤

Wallpaper is the top image, which I snapped w/ my crappy old phone at a fantastic (but aren’t they ALWAYS?) Nine Inch Nails concert on 10/14/13. Because my phone screenshot is lame, I added two more shots from the concert YOU’RE WELCOME.
