Fan artists, we have the largest reach among the youngest voting bracket of all artists on social media. Young people online who’ve just become old enough to vote see our art more than they see any other kind of art.
It would be rad if we used our reach to get young people to register to vote.
So I propose the #artforthevote tag. Fan artists, put the message in the art itself or include it in your caption when you post your next piece. Include a link to https://vote.gov/ and tag your art #artforthevote.
We’re always here for crossover fanart/fanfic whenever anyone’s willing to make it, btw… lookit these 2 idiots they’d get into so much trouble together
Great! (This was you I think…) I see that you posted one thing! The Journey down Heaven and Hell’s road ooooh… I’m not in the Supernatural fandom but I bet there are ppl out there who have been waiting for VC/Supernatural crossover.
weird noises: happen in the wee hours
me, unaffected: the only supernatural and ominous force in this place is me and i was here first, so whatever and whoever you are you need to Go
These two play such amazing roles in The Vampire Lestat and I wish there had been more insight into the two of them dealing with one another in Armand’s book. I imagine this scene as a final, hateful, farewell… Perhaps there is an ounce of sadness or even relief in the both of them.
I also included two wip stages in case you find those things interesting.
Thank you for this comment, bc I did some real percolating on it and I am happy to answer you.
I tagged it that way bc often I’ll see posts on my dash where someone has used a gif from a source, which hasn’t been tagged, and I’ll see tags or comments like, “Who is this hot guy?!” “Where is this from?!” which is so sad, bc they might really want to know and get into that fandom! So in tagging it #Supernatural, it’s actually free advertising BACK to Supernatural; someone might see my post on their dash, and think, “What is this from? Oh, it’s tagged Supernatural. Maybe I should check that show out, this guy looks like he could be a great actor…” And then you might gain awesome fresh blood in your fandom, who could turn out to be your new best friend (or even something more!, ppl meet the love of their life through fandom, I kinda hope to do so, too) ^_____^
I also enjoy the fact that other fandoms bleed into each other sometimes, bc fandom is an umbrella concept over so many of them (if not all). There are even crossover fanworks (fic, memes, etc.) between fandoms and different works of media, often enriching the experience of both. Especially when you have someone who can make really great meta-analysis comparing some aspect of one fandom to another, they might even make you ship smtg you never thought you’d ship.
As an example: One of our fandom ppl has moved onto the MCU!Avengers, but specifically the Steve Rogers/Tony Stark ship, and they convinced me that that ship has alot of similarity with Louis/Lestat. And now I can’t unsee it, and you could all lose me to Stony someday.
^Lestat/Louis meet Tony Stark/Steve Rogers, hilarity ensues. This is a fanwork that crossovers two different fandoms, and so much is conveyed without any dialogue at all, it’s all in the facial expressions and body positions and it gives me such feels whenever I look at it.

All that said, I’m sure I’m not the only one who has posted that gif with the #Supernatural tag. If you want a pure SPN tag, you can run your own blog and keep it as pure and clean as you like! And I don’t say that w/ any intended sassy attitude, it’s just a fact, and even though I wanted to keep my blog purely VC, I have found that embracing other fandoms is more inclusive and really does enrich the experience.
No one is saying you/we can’t have them, but I think it’s bc VC ships began sailing before ship naming was thing (which I think began gaining traction with Ben Affleck/Jennifer Lopez being “Bennifer” and Brad Pitt/Angelina Jolie being “Brangelina”). Our ships were sailing even before “shipping” as a term was a thing! That said, I seem to recall seeing “Loustat” as a ship name for Louis/Lestat in the past few years, but can’t think of any others.
Go ahead and name your ships if you like, we’ll see if any catch on!
