Tag Archives: THANK U

Dear sweet baby Jesus! where was this blog all my life? Bless you, I love you, I barely stumbled last night on your blog. Again, I’m going to sound like a cray-cray but with so few and scattered blogs and news about the Vampire Chronicles you’re like my ray of sunshine in the middle of a dark and endless night. And I found so many posts, reblogs, opinions, IC material on Nicolas <3 I don't have any question for now, I'm just happy to have found this blog!

Awwww thank u so much! What a lovely poetic thing to tell me ❤

I try to make this thing what I would have wanted to find when I was 15 and couldn’t find the fanworks, the good screencaps, the whole fandom experience. Notes like yours let me know the mission is being accomplished ;]

A Nicolas lover, hm? YOU ARE JUST IN TIME for my latest VC casting choice for him, and other ppl might not agree but whatever: Benedict Samuel was so great in The Walking Dead mid-season premiere this past wknd, he’s so Nicki!

Hit the jump for a little moar re: Benedict Samuel.

He has everything I’m looking for in a Nicolas: the right age, brooding, sassyness, vulnerability, big loving eyes, cruel and sweet humor, and he can phase between all these so quickly. The acting seems to come from a deep understanding of his character’s motivations and emotional turbulence, waves overlapping the emotional palette. 

Which can’t all be captured in one gif, especially from the limited gif options out there. So here’s one in which he’s obviously holding back from doing smtg, holding back the cynical comment that could destroy a room, hiding his vast darkness from whoever’s in a 5 mile radius. Getting dressed to go against his will present the Marquis’ son w/ new boots and the red velvet cloak as payment for ridding their town of the wolf pack that was threatening everyone.

This shot below is from The Walking Dead, but it also looks like that one time Lestat used telekinesis on Nicki in TVL, slamming him into the wall with an invisible fist, neither of them knowing what he’d done, or how it happened, in their old dressing room at Renaud’s, soon to be the Theatre des Vampires.

The only real question is, can he play violin? Can he learn?

Hey Lestat, Happy Valentines Day! What are you and Louis going to do today?

♛Merci beacoup, mon petit. Taking a brief moment now while Louis is in the shower, in the midst of our Valentine activities. It is past midnight here in Paris, but as we woke about 8 hours ago, and we have yet another 6 ½ hours before the dawn, the spirit of St. Valentine has kindly extended the celebration time for us *winks* 

If I may just mention: Louis gets many romantic holidays throughout the year. It’s nearly monthly. Why does it always fall to me to plan these activities?! I’ll tell you, it’s because I read up on the exhibitions, the galleries, music, the new films and plays coming out; I’m more aware of the current cultural happenings of this world than he is. Except when it comes to sports and politics (Sports I can manage, politics, well, I learned my brutal lesson regarding global diplomacy so it’s best that I keep mostly oblivious to this general topic or else there would be horrific massacres. Too many evildoers in positions of power.)

To start the evening off, the plan was to break into the Louvre and view the current exhibitions. Louis was particularly interested in the drawings by Parmigianino, and we may still do so, but we were sidetracked after sharing a romantic petit déjeuner. It was messier than expected and we had to go back to our apartment to change my entire outfit, in stripping it off, we ended up enjoying each other for a little dessert

*licks fangs* Because of course we did. Did you expect any less of us? And that was NOT my plan all along *innocent smile* Well. Alright… it might have been a thought at the back of my mind, during our meal. 

Next on the agenda *whips out itinerary* is the quartet I’ve hired to play at a certain location that I will be steering us towards, a romantic little courtyard lit only with gas lamps and candles. The cellist is a special gift to Louis, she is a teenage girl I have been secretly financially supporting, a gifted and mature player for one so young, who models herself after the legendary Jacqueline du Pré, a favorite of Louis’. We’ll dance to that, should he continue to be in the mood to do so ❤

After that, we will need a refueling, and I know just the place. A little real French cuisine, soaked in good French wine. 

Ah! Mon ange approaches. He looks fresh and ready for more. Better shut off the social media, he requires my full and undivided attention. À la prochaine *blows kiss*

I was talking w/ @takemetocoffin-or-losemeforever about this scene from Far and Away (1992), another fave movie of mine (and they pulled this gif for me!). Joseph Donnelly (Cruise), similarly to Lestat, has 2 older brothers that we hardly get any information about except their antagonization of him, and a father who we only see as an invalid, IIRC. Look at the bro on the left, just waiting for the cue to start throwing punches. Like Lestat, Joseph runs away to a more promising land (‘MURICA) and deals w/ a whole bunch of awful reality there, too, but it all has a happy ending bc PERSERVERANCE. There is probably a lot more of a comparison to be made but I’ll leave it at that for now.

I love this line especially bc rather than engage w/ their taunting that he’s such a fuckup, he makes a suggestion to improve them well it’s throwing the poor innocent goat under the bus but oh well. Such a positive influence!

Bullies are everywhere, even in our own families, and you don’t have to engage w/ it. Be original! Come up with a better response to it! Try not to suggest bestiality, though. That’s not nice. 

Is this the right way for the mistletoe kissing-thing? You deserve more than only one kiss !!! ;-) 💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋

♛Merci beaucoup, ten kisses! I accept them all under the condition that nine are different types, and the tenth is the kiss I must have a repeat experience of.

((ooc; sorry this is super late, and not sure if it was meant for mun or muse, but he jumped on the response sooo… but thank u! Much appreciate))

if you have xkit, you can get the “archive” add-on and organize posts you don’t want to reblog but can’t pass up either into categories! it’s useful.

OMG mind=BLOWN, thanks anon! 

We can archive right from the dash!! but not from Drafts yet, but still, I can stop adding to the insurmountable pile that is my Drafts so this is a huge help

Regarding the Nicki audio, it’s originally from an interview given to a french channel by ballet dancer Jonathan Klein, who took part in a french talent show competition around 2012. You can find the video the audio was taken from here: https://you tu.be/Rwl21dY2934

AND HERE’S THE VIDEO merci @colourful-jack!

^While this guy does not look like my headcanon Nicolas de Lenfent, he DOES have a lovely voice, he can play Nicki in the VC animated series *u* 

State of the I-Want-My-IWTV

Note from the Addict: my very modest not ridiculously ambitious at all 2016 VC Goals

It’s the end of Jan. already! and I felt like I should share a little glimpse of what’s rolling around in my mind at the start of this new year, in terms of this blog. A “State of the I-Want-My-IWTV” address, if you will.

I don’t do Follow Forevers because I wouldn’t want anyone to feel left out. This thing is mine but I appreciate you all and love that you love this crazy stuff that I love, too! It’s a daily gift to me to get messages from you, scroll through the activity feed and see how you’ve tagged the stuff you’ve reblogged, but even if all you do is Like stuff, just seeing your urls brightens my day. I can’t thank you enough for sticking with me.

This was never about the number of followers for me, and it never will be. I’d still do this without any followers, but you all make it SO MUCH BETTER. You guys would easily fill an auditorium at this point. We could watch the next VC movie together! I fantasize about that but let’s stop this emotional outpouring for now…

On a personal note…I just bit the bullet and hired a personal trainer! I’m meeting with him 2x/week until May and gonna get into better shape, I have the money and I’ve run out of excuses not to do it. I’d like to do videos to answer asks sometimes and currently I’m just a little camera shy, y’know? Would you want short video answers? Or do you prefer it written?

All this means is I’ll be around here less until May. Then the weather will be nicer and I’ll be trying to keep up the momentum being outside. Possibly playing sports with other humans ewwwww… 

ANYWAY I have all these dreams for this blog and it’s purpose… for 2016:

  1. Layout makeover – in progress, still in design phase (Yes I know the top right buttons are missing, they’re actually hiding under the top bar, gonna fix this wknd, hopefully)
  2. Asks – I want to CLEAR my inbox of all the 2015 messages (I have asks from Halloween *blushes furiously*). I have never deleted a message without responding publicly or privately. Sometimes I save an ask bc it’s a difficult one and requires research, or needs a gif/pic assemblage made, etc. Sometimes I save it bc it’s so sweet and it hits me Right in the Feels and I can’t even respond immediately, and then it gets buried before I can reply. That’s a good thing for me though, bc then I find it again, inevitably, on a day when I really need it, so it has double the impact ❤
  3. Self makeover – as mentioned already, so I can be in videos and also maybe someday really be an advocate for our fandom. Not that I think this would really happen, but I would love to somehow get in touch with the people working on the new VC adaptations tell them how to do their fucking jobs *ahem* and get a little communication going w/ them, bc if they’re going to sell it to us, they could benefit from the advice of people who care deeply about this canon, and have useful headcanons to share that would only enrich them *u*
  4. Fanart commissions – I want to promote more of this! It’s partly selfish, because I want to see more of it on my dash; we all benefit when people get commissions and then share them publicly ;D
  5. Fanfic/fanworks and Intellectual Property Law – Continuing to learn more about this so I can keep you informed about what’s fair use and what’s not, since our fandom had to deal with bloody fanfic wars in the 90’s and we don’t need a repeat of that. EVER.

So yeah that’s not overly ambitious at all, is it? IT IS. I’ll just repost this in 2017, har har.
