That’s great to hear! It’s absolutely and totally relevant!

In truth, we know very little about the upbringing and life of this Anglo-Indian fictional character. I would hope that the way he is portrayed will be something Anglo-Indian ppl can embrace, but you may take it as a form of cultural appropriation, the way that David essentially becomes Anglo-Indian.

I actually don’t really track any tags *embarassment* I tracked #vampire chronicles when I started out here but there’s too much in that tag for me to keep up with. Same with all the character names 😛
But! Your ask has inspired me to track these tags below, and I encourage others to use them, respectfully:
^Why does this matter? Because fanworks and discussion are sometimes blamed for decreasing consumer interest in a given copyrighted work, and if someone has encouraged your interest in the
copyrighted work, it was essentially *~FREE ADVERTISING,~* which is the OPPOSITE of “decreasing consumer interest.” Good defense.
(You can also tag me as #iwantmyiwtv,
#i want my iwtv, and #i-want-my-iwtv, I track those and check sometimes.)
Merci beaucoup! Never too late for birthday wishes ;D It was 3/16 but the confusion is my own frickin’ fault for letting many lovely messages get buried in my inbox, so I’m the tardy one, replying nearly 4 months late *gasp* *swats self w/ rolled-up magazine*

Thanks! Yep, the VC fandom is out here on tumblr, and we’re growing in number. Especially as the next book(s) and new adaptation(s) approaches down the pipeline. More VC blogs are in my #VC Fandom Hunters tag.
Keep in mind book!QOTD is very different from the movie. Be sure to come back and share your perspective on that. Most ppl who read the book first are not too thrilled with the movie, except for nostalgic reasons, I’m not sure about ppl who read the book after.
Re: book!IWTV, Lestat doesn’t really approve of THAT version of the story, lol. So try to stick with the series at least through TVL.
Awwww thanks bunches ‘nonny!
So I’m re-reading the Vampire Chronicles, and discovering all over again that I love the way Anne Rice depicts sexuality, attraction, and affection in her books, not just among vampires, but among humans as well.
People in platonic relationships never hesitate to say that they love each other, to show affection, to kiss.
Sexual orientation doesn’t seem to exist, really, especially with the undead. It seems that a century or two of immortality has rendered most of them indifferent in regards to gender.
I love the repeated narrative of “I hate you, but I haven’t seen you in a really long time, and I missed hating you in person, so come here and let me hug you and tell you how beautiful you are.” There is something very poignant in the way that they treasure the familiar.
Consent is super important in sexual situations in her books, and in simple social situations, and in regards to the giving and receiving of blood.
It’s recognized that people who have been made vampires without their consent are victims of trauma, even if they are men.
And just the expression of emotions in her characters, the men, the women, mortal and immortal love, hate, scream, laugh, openly weep without shame…you don’t see much of that in modern literature without idiots labeling it as “over sentimental.”
