♛ You’ll have to try MUCH HARDER to be kicked out the fandom now that we are aware of your artistic skill. You’re a gift to us. So sayeth Uncle Lestan.
PS. I approve of this “Tasty fans” catchphrase, yes, good.
PPS. If you are about to accuse moi of taking up too much space avec my autograph, I say this: she asked for it One must adequately mark one’s property or it may be stolen. It’s happened too many damned times. ARMAND I’M LOOKING AT U I SWEAR TO GOD HAD I TATTOOED MY NAME ACROSS LOUIS’ CHEST BEFORE I TURNED HIM…
As for the fandom reaction, tbh I’ve been a fan ever since the dark ages of speculative fic on geocities websites oh gawd i am old I survived the War on Fanfic from the 90’s... but I didn’t actually find the fandom as it exists now until after this movie came out (2012)!
At the time, I myself was excited along with a few RL friends who were my entire VC fandom at that time. We were pleased as punch.
I’ll speculate that the fandom ppl that loved Cruise’s Lestat (like meeee) were very psyched for RoA. Even now, I consider Cruise’s Jaxx to be an older, mortal, brunet, tattooed Lestat. That’s alot of AU there, but still.
In RoA, his character is similar to Lestat: that whole macho shell with a tender, bruised inside that just wants to be loved for who he really is. At the end of RoA, Jaxx ends up with someone who loves him for HIM, rather than the groupies who love his stage persona or want to bang him for his sexual prowess, or his money, or whatever. Same thing with Lestat. So many people want to fuck him, but very few put in the effort, or gain his trust enough to get to know who he really is inside.
