Thank u, anons! Yes indeedy, it was good, and the party continues into the wknd, I’ll try to take some pics and share <333
OOC; MANY HAPPY RETURNS OF THE DAY!
//Guys it is @i-want-my-iwtv‘s birthday today, so please go spam the heck out of her with wonderful messages!
This chica is wild, crazy, and maybe the biggest cheerleader we have in the VC fandom. There is no one more kind, considerate, or caring. She has loved each of us and pushed each of us over time to be better writers and kinder people.
Also, she is a tiny smol cinnamon roll and we’ve hung out and had burgers together and it was silly and good. So please go love on her.
MANY HAPPY RETURNS OF THE DAY, DARLING! We love you!
THANK U BB! It’s all true! Guilty as charged! The feels, they are mutual *hugs*
If I may, @devilsfool is one heck of a friend, in addition to being one of my fave VC writers.
Many of my VC headcanons have been formed in conversation with her or just accepted from her fanfic/RP, so if you like my headcanons/opinions on things, check out her muses: @a-misunderstanding-my-love (Nicolas), @viaticumforthemarquise (Gabrielle), and @devilsfool (Lestat).
Happy happy birthday!
Merci beaucoup Auntie Jillian!
I started following you here on tumblr a few years ago because I enjoyed what you reblogged, but what’s kept me following are your replies to asks, so kind and thoughtful, it’s clear that your advice comes from a lifetime of experience, a sense of dignity, and a generous disposition.
I didn’t have an Auntie Jillian when I was a baby bat, and I’m so glad that I can recommend today’s baby bats and elder bats and everyone in between to you, the Lady of the Manners, as a resource for all things goth: music, fashion, manners, culture, etc. *u*
HAPPY BIRTHDAY I LOVE YOUR BLOG SO MUCH!!!!
THANK U (I LOVE IT TOO!)
Happy birthday, I hope you have a great one <3
Thank u!
…Omg your blog’s caption… applies to me and several others of us, I’m sure, also… “I’ve spent my life obsessed with The Vampire Chronicles and in love with Percy Shelley and I’m not about to stop now. Occasionally other things.”
^Except for the Percy Shelley part. I wish I loved poetry in general more. Maybe that’ll be another thing I work on this year, embracing poetry and finding the pleasure in it that poetry lovers do! I’ll have to start with him. Do you recommend any of his specific works for a poetry beginner?
Happy birthday! Bonne anniversaire or as we say in my country La mulți ani! have an awesome day and thank you for being here for us VC fans, thank you for doing an amazing job with this blog and taking time to answer our question. you are extraordinaire *hugs*
Mulțumesc foarte mult! (tha google told me La mulți ani! was Romanian, hope that’s right!)
You are SO welcome and I love doing what I do for you guys so I’m gonna keep on doing it, you all give me back so much more than I put into it ❤
(As always, my answers are only my own opinion, and I’m so touched that you want them!)
Happy birthday, darling one! You’re the soul of our amazing vampire fandom. Keep being awesome. Love you ~ <333
Thank u! What a lovely message to get! I’m deeply touched.
Look, full disclosure: this was a message from last year, but I felt guilty last year bc I didn’t want to spam ppl’s dash but I did anyway, and then this one…
In light of this past year, and various public and private discussions about what my role is in the VC fandom, I’m glad I saved the message for now, even though I’m very sorry to @tragic-black for holding onto it for so long, but… I couldn’t answer it in good faith a year ago., and now I’m ready.
I’m not the soul of the fandom. I’m a cheerleader. I just want us to get along, and I want more fanworks, and even the ones I don’t personally relate to, bc if there’s one thing I know to be true of our fandom after all these years: there’s something for everyone! Lots of different and equally valid ways to engage with canon and other fans.
As a birthday gift from me, I would just ask that you all take a moment to realize that YOU are the soul of our amazing vampire fandom. Everyone.
- the ppl who lurk and just watch quietly,
- the people who edit the music videos,
- the people who make music playlists,
- the people who make aesthetic posts,
- the people who make photo manipulations,
- the people who make casting suggestions,
- the people who make and/or wear cosplays,
- the people who read the fanfic and/or leave kudos/comments,
- the people who write the fanfic,
- the people who draw the fanart,
- the people who commission it or just Like/Reblog any of the fanworks,
- the people who share their headcanons with us publicly or privately and make canon richer w/ their ideas,
- the role-players who take on the challenge of BEING the characters,
- the muns who write OCs to interact with canon characters,
- I’m sure I’m forgetting someone… 😛
- You get the idea.
You are all the soul of the fandom, bc what is a fandom, except a group of… fans… who love a thing… together… in their own ways!
merrycai replied to your post: Hi! I love your blog soooo much! Is it bad I check…
U r beautiful! And does the icon of your account in ao3 is you? I thought that girl was you. And I am more sure now
Awwww thank u! <333
Yep, my AO3 icon is really me! [X] That pic is from 2013, I was going to try to photoshop myself as Merrick, but decided against it.
My eyes aren’t actually that green, that’s photoshop, but in the right lighting I have some green color than just light brown goin’ on…
Hi! I love your blog soooo much! Is it bad I check it atLEAST twice a day? Oops. Anyway, I feel like I don’t know much about you personally. What other fandoms are you in? Do you have any other tumblrs? And do you/have you ever cosplayed? Have a nice day (:
awwww u sweet thing! U made me see bubbly hearts and stars so I danced in them <333
Hi! I love your blog soooo much! Is it bad I check it at LEAST twice a day? Oops.
Awww that’s very sweet! I try to make it the blog I wanted to find when I first got into fandom and yeah, I would be checking such a blog at least twice a day, I’m sure ^______^
I’m posting less often bc I’m even more picky about what I post/reblog than when I started this thing. If I posted every meme I had an idea for, there would be a lot of crappy ones, y’know? I only make the ones that give me a physical reaction in concept.
Same with rebageling. Only the posts that really hit that sweet spot of my particular sense of humor/taste. And if I posted every VC thing (fanart, fanfic, cosplay, article, aesthetic post, meta analysis, etc.) that comes across my dash, I’d be avalanching you guys with VC stuff and that’s not good either. I try to keep to my 10 post/day limit to keep this stuff curated, and keep it manageable for me, too bc there are only so many hours in the day and I can’t watch the dash 24/7. There will always be at least 1 thing posted from my queue tho 😉 If that ever runs out, then you know there’s no one at the wheel here anymore ;A;
Anyway, I feel like I don’t know much about you personally.
There’s a reason for that. I always felt like this blog should only be about, and for, VC! And I, myself, am not a VC thing 😛 Even though I do make fanworks, and encouraging fanworks is another aim of this blog. And it’s for promoting positivity in the VC fandom, bc positivity leads to fresh fanworks leads to fresh positivity… <333
BUT, there’s some stuff about me in my #being social tag, and I have my own selfies mixed into the #selfie tag, too. I keep my fandom life and Real Life as separate as I can. I don’t want to use this blog as a place to vent or brag about myself, not very much, admittedly, I do do that occasionally. OCCASIONALLY. Would you want that? I didn’t think you wanted that! DO YOU?!
^Here’s my faaaaace why does my wrist look huge?, selfie taken in Oct. 2014 for the PL booksigning, I’m kinda camera shy y’know? I look better in motion, not flattened out and frozen in a picture… it makes my fingers itch to photoshop it, but this one has no photoshoppin’, just decent lighting. My hair is actually wavy/curly and much shorter now bc getting it that straight ‘n tamed was always a chore. Even so, I kinda miss the long hair, which I’d kept long for YEARS. It got tangled every day. Every day was a choice between brushing out the tangles painfully or allowing them to get more tangled, putting off a worse brushing later. Maybe I’ll take a few selfies for you, anon.
^normal sized wrists here see? I also kinda want to bleach/dye my hair blonde or silvery white like I had in this wig when I was Andy Warhol for one Halloween, but it wouldn’t be this silky bc MY HAIR IS CURSEDLY WAVY/CURLY.
Hit the jump for moar about ME
What other fandoms are you in?
I’m not really IN the fandoms but I love the Walking Dead and Hannibal… not really in any others, but I like the fanart and discussion on some, like Harry Potter, Marvel (MCU)(I ship Stony bc of @americancaptain, but I’m open to other ships), Yuri on Ice, Attack on Titan, I’m sure there are others that I can’t think of right now. I love watching Hoarders, it helps keep my own magpie tendencies in check!
Do you have any other tumblrs?
None that are active, so I’d rather not share. I’m considering launching a sideblog for all the not-VC stuff I can’t post here. Would you want that? There would be a helluva lot more cat pics like for realz. ALL THE CAT PICS I CANT POST HERE.
And do you/have you ever cosplayed?
Nope! I’d love to cosplay as Lestat but alas I am his opposite in just about every physical characteristic lol. Being half Greek and half Russian, I could probably pull off an Armand.
My past several Halloweens have not been very notable since I refuse to dress sexy. Even so, I gotta try for something special this year. I was a computer virus for one
Halloween (my own sorta wacky idea) and ppl said I looked like a Power Rangers villain, Rita Repulsa. *shrugs*
^Hey I think it was pretty cool regardless.
Have a nice day (:
Thanks! You tooooo!
