Lestat tells us in QOTD that they survived and moved on w/o him:
“[The Coven was] relieved that the Vampire Lestat had died in the pages of the newspapers; that the debacle of the
concert had been forgotten. No provable fatalities, no true injuries; everybody bought off handsomely; the
band, receiving my share of everything, was touring again under its old name.”
When Lestat gives his name at Starbucks occasionally they’ll get it right but most of the time it’s stuff like “Lester” “Leslie” “Leshan” and on one occasion he spent the night in a huff because they gave him a cup that just said “La Shat”
The little shoot has taken place at the AniMuc ‘16, Germany. This fanshirt is truely a MUST HAVE for all Vampire Chronicles fans Praise @jealizing for the great design, guys!
For the most part, yes, I am grateful for that blessing EVERY DAY. Seriously. Every SJW™ argument that passes my dash, I breathe easier when I see that it’s not for OUR fandom.
Fiction =/= Reality. Fiction has been used for centuries to explore and investigate things we love about Reality, things we don’t understand, even things we find repulsive about Reality. Fiction is in fact Speculative Reality: “What if X happened to Y? How would that improve our understanding of X and Y?”
To investigate the text thoughtfully is one thing, but our fandom veterans -myself included- can see that a lot of this SJW Culture™ seems more about “calling out,” choosing a Problematic™ topic to battle with (there are tons in our canon to choose from!) and using that as an excuse to attack, rather than the desire for a rational discussion. They often do this in the name of Righteousness (for popularity? Or just their own satisfaction?), but there are so many Problematic™ topics that are NOT simply black or white, topics which have been argued about long before the internet, and will continue to be argued about forever! I’ve seen good blogs deactivate (or go on hiatus) for being dogpiled for the slightest headcanon or SJW disagreements, and that’s not what I want to promote in our fandom, regardless of who’s right.
Sometimes, I just want to enjoy something without feeling bad about it. There’s plenty to feel bad about in the world and while in some cases SJWs are useful when they try to attack EVERYTHING, they take the fun out of life.
Life, literature and art have always been problematic. True art provokes. What, do these SJWs want a nanny-state? Or how about a Puritan Revival?
Yes, fight for what’s right, but don’t get in the way of others trying to enjoy stuff.
