“I was a sad,lonely kid when I found the VC. I found beautiful characters that were sad & lonely too; who felt wrong about who they were but were learning to live & love anyway. I saw myself in them & as I grew to love them, I grew to love myself too.”
There are wonderful things in these characters and stories, I’ve definitely found more than one quote especially useful in my formative years. What are some of your favorite quotes/concepts? I’ve always loved this one:
“But you love books, then,” Aunt Queen was saying. I had to listen.
“Oh, yes,” Lestat said. “Sometimes they’re the only thing that keeps me alive.”
“What a thing to say at your age,” she laughed.
“No, but one can feel desperate at any age, don’t you think? The young are eternally desperate,” he said frankly. “And books, they offer one hope – that a whole universe might open up from between the covers, and falling into that new universe, one is saved.” – Blackwood Farm
Well, know that I’d been following your VC blog before I decided to return to tumblr this year. And apart from all these wonderful things you do for this Fandom (Us, People off the Page), what I so much love about this blog is your absolutely fantastic sense of humour with which you approach the VC!!! Happy Birthday, You Creature of Wonder!
!ohmahfrickittyfrackettyharpsichords, I’m so touched, you hit me Right in the Feels in such a very good way! *attack hugs*
It continues to be mutually beneficial, as I have had to learn how to do new things in order to do them for THIS BLOG, like making gifs, and it’s also made me question my own ideas about the characters, and get to know all these people I never would have interacted with if not for our fandom, and so much more <3<3<3 Dare I say that it’s a huge part of my life? That’s probably obvious ^_______^
WAYYYYY back when I started this thing, I was afraid that I was offending our fandom with my sense of humor, as can be seen in one of my early memeythings:
Yeah, it is applicable to her situation gdi Claudia stop eating all your handlers or so help me but it was also my concern whether anyone thought I was being just offensive and not funny at all… clearly the People Off the Page (I love that you used my word for us, too, btw) convinced me that they really enjoy my brand of silly and now I go alot farther, still with the intention of keeping it tasteful (PUN INTENDED):
(Sometimes when I get an idea for one of these things I actually make myself laugh just thinking about it until I can get home to make it)
Lestat, what is your favourite piece of clothing at the moment?
Louis’ ‘Master and Margarita’ t-shirt. It came from this fascinating website called Out of Print Clothing, where they put old book covers on t-shirts. He pretended to be unimpressed by the gifts, but he wears them often.
They are all too small for me, but they smell like him.
Omg! Hi vcpositivity !
Thanks for the follow! Love reading fandom ppl loving on each other.
Even though I’m totally unknown in the VC fandom, I’ve followed it and lurked around off and on since 2001 when I was just an 8th grader.
These books and characters are a huge part of my life!
Hey there! That’s a really long time to lurk around! We here don’t like to see people feeling like their on the outskirts of the fandom-we want everyone to feel welcome and like they’re a part of our community; so if you’d like, there are tons of great people that the admins here look up to who would be willing to make you feel more welcome, and maybe get your name a bit more out there!
I personally know that i-want-my-iwtv, cloudsinvenice, and annabellioncourt are more than welcoming and would love talking to you and anyone else who wants to get more involved with the fandom. Also, you can talk to merciful-death and see about being added to her all-inclusive skype group to meet some great people.
And of course, an amazing way to feel closer to the characters and other people of the fandom is to send in asks to any of the great roleplay blogs floating around. Not only can you ask them about personal headcanons, but some blogs will actually give you a chance to talk to the characters themselves.
(This turned out waaaay longer than I had initially planned, and I definitely don’t want you to feel like I’m pressuring you into participating more if you don’t want to. It’s absolutely okay if you’re most comfortable lurking about. We just want to make sure everyone knows there are many open doors for those who want to feel closer to the action!)
^Could not have said this better myself.
Glorfindel, of the House of the Golden Flower.
By LaElizO
Why do I ship him and Ser Loras O_O
Hey, looks like Lestat to me! What say, vc folk?
Lestat and Glofindel have many things in common, including dying and being kicked out of ‘heaven’.
Sounds about right to me.
