Idk about your friends not understanding the allure of the VC fandom. Some ppl write off all vampire media these days bc we’re so saturated with it. Some ppl write off the movie bc Tom Cruise is in it, or the problematic elements in the books are too problematic for them… there are alot of reasons ppl are resistant to VC and I don’t blame them, the series is not for everyone. Oprah walked out of movie!IWTV (after 15 min I think?)!

Anyway notes like this one mean SO MUCH to me. I’m not planning on inventing anything, proving myself in some kind of athletic competition, winning any awards, or leaving my mark in some other more societally-approved way. 

If I can just share the love for this one pile of dysfunctional vampires w/ other like-minded ppl, and encourage the fanworks to keep the fandom alive, I’m perfectly fine with that. THIS IS MY LEGACY. 

hello! how are you? i absolutely loove your blog! i’m kinda new to the fandom, so if you don’t mind, can you recommend me some vampire chronicles blogs you like?

Merci beaucoup! I’m good. Glad you asked this bc I haven’t done one of these in a year. 

Welcome to our little corner of tumblrland, as I always say. Good to have fresh blood, pun intended of course.

ASK AND YE SHALL RECEIVE 

(ノ^ヮ^)ノ*:・゚✧

Some ppl post IWTV or QOTD pics/gifsets or aesthetic posts, some ppl will post meta about VC and other fandoms, but I think the only other exclusively VC blogs (or as close as possible, as mine aims to be) are @vampire-chronicles-appreciation and @vampchronfic

(The lists below are updated a little from a post I made about this a year ago, so some may be inactive now, but their archives might lead you to active ppl.)

Specifically VC blogs (in no special order):

Other blogs that often mention VC or other vampire or gothic yumminess:

You can also try these tags for RPers, headcanons, fanart, ppl looking for other VC Fandom ppl, and such in the VC fandom:

Here are some blogs that reblog a bunch of IWTV stuff. i’m not sure about the others, but the first two make gifsets, sometimes photosets, text posts etc 🙂

Alert : fangirling in action. YOU ARE SO CUTE!! And you look like such a fun person to be around c: I wish we could have tea together! What is your favorite book? And movie? Wishing you a good day lady <3

transylvaniateaparty:

that’s the cutest!
I’m always up for tea 😀
My favorite book is “Brødrene Løvehjerte”  (The Lion heart brothers??) also all the vampire books by Anne Rice + Harry Potter for sure!
 movie: Interview with the vampire

Your art is amazing 😀

Thank youuu^^ ❤

Hello! Are you thinking sometimes about that they can do tv series not movies about vampire chronicles? I love your tumblr so much!

Merci for the VC fandom love!

♥u♥

I actually think VC would work much better as a TV series than movies, since there is SO MUCH GOOD CANON. Each book has more than one movie’s worth of material in it, a TV series could go through scenes more carefully and potentially include more! Look how careful Hannibal was.

The fact is that we are supposed to get a TV series as a supplement to the movies! Josh Boone is adapting it into what he intends to be 3 movies and a TV series:

@firelight-fading linked us to an article about that, here’s the relevant snippet:

I am a patient person but JOSH: I WANT IT plz don’t let this get stuck in development Hell!

Can we host a little Vampire Chronicles event? Like a Septalamasca or some other ridiculous name, with our favourite vampires kissing or something? Pretty pretty please? Or could we do a little Halloween exchange, even if October seems so far away? ;n;

Well a real live event would be fantastic, personally, I’d love to rent a theatre and do a screening of IWTV w/ any of the original main cast there to provide commentary during the movie or a Q&A after and that will never happen *sobs*

As far as doing a gift exchange here in tumblrland, that’s been done before and is more doable! Ppl often really love giving and receiving gifts for it, it’s a great opportunity to spread some VC fandom love and positivity and really, who doesn’t like getting gifts?

I should bring back Santa Lestat in November… those asks were pretty fun.

Last holiday season I co-modded the @vcsecretgifts exchange. It takes a lot of effort, mostly in trying to drum up enough interest, and then policing ppl to submit their assigned gifts (a few never did theirs, and I volunteered to fill in for one of these and still haven’t found the right inspiration to WRITE IT YET *facepalm*) I’ll ask the founder of that blog if they have the time/desire to do it w/ me again.

Is this something ppl would like to participate in?

I love this so much, look at the care and detail @thacmis put into this (among other things, can you believe the ethereal texture on that gown?? *u*), as Lestat would say, Perfect, just perfect! I think I officially have an obsession w/ Lestat & blood in glassware. It makes him feel more civilized ;}

BEAUTIFUL PERSON AWARD once you get this award, you’re supposed to paste it in the ask box of 8 people who deserve it. If you break the chain nothing will happen, but it’s nice to know that someone thinks you’re beautiful inside and out ✿✿✿

Thank u dear!
