There you have it, fanged little trash monsters.hyperbeeb took one for the team, and reported back in one piece! From her commentary, I’d say few brain cells, if any, were sacrificed in the process.
(½) I was… not expecting such a response to my POTP question. I want to clarify first that I am grateful for your response. That I mean sincerely; I harbor no ill-will towards you, and nothing in this response is sarcastic. I’ve always had issue with anyone saying “People from X group are [negative remark here]” if I belong to said group. Thank you for reminding me that such statements can be general, rather than applying to everyone in said group. And I only knew about the fanfic thing –
(2/2) – and the fact that negative reviews of her work were brought up on her page; I didn’t know there were fans who attacked reviewers. The bullet point about the “Beauty’s Release” review sounds like she was being sincere that she didn’t want fans to attack the reviewer, and I don’t see any rabid rage in the comments, but I don’t doubt they did attack the reviewer in place(s) I didn’t see. I was completely unaware of the vast majority of what you included in your response. Sincerely, I thank you.
You are very welcome! What a gracious reply. Anon is referring to this post about the history of the People of the Page that I wrote (with the help of some fandom friends who did not want to be credited for obvious reasons) recently.
I’m very happy to answer questions when they are asked in a respectful manner, as this Anon did, and it’s even better when I have successfully convinced them of my point(s) let them draw their own conclusion(s) based on the information that I have, or what I can gather from the fandom at large who see/reblog-and-add-to my posts.
Heartfelt Thanks~*
…to all who saw that post and liked/reblogged, just to be supportive or to have that post available in case they needed to Explain Someone A Thing at some point. It touches me when you do that; it makes it worth the time and effort I put into gathering the facts and answering such delicate questions ^_______^
I AM GLAD YOU NOTICED THAT DETAIL! 😀 Armand is wearing this Alexander McQueen scarf (in grey.) Lestat’s jacket is inspired by a few similar Brunello Cucinelli pieces so I guess it’s … bespoke courtesy … the artist ╮(╯▽╰)╭ this is the kind of shit i waste the good years of my life on
Ah! Such high praise, thank u! That means a lot, coming from you.
Of course I am more than happy to explain u all a thing or two or a bazillion about VC *u*
Please feel free to ask or share or participate in any way at all, bc of reasons.
And I learn so much about Captain America from americancaptaincomic! Children of Darkness (<—what we are perhaps calling ourselves now),
People Off the Page (<—what I have been calling ourselves before), my fanged little trash kittens and monsters (<—new thing I started calling ourselves), go check out this fanart/webcomic, the style is so charming and the writing so smart, you may find yourself slipping into being a Stony shipper, as I have become.
Psssst Steve/Tony is similar to Louis/Lestat! Ego size comparisons are a match for Lestat and Tony, har har har…
People Off The Page? THAT’S BRILLIANT.
Here’s this I prepared actually years earlier.
I LOVE this! Both couples! What a crossover! Tony is all, “There’s a 5 ft protective radius around Steve and you better BOTH respect it unless you want the package deal of testing out the business end of the flamethrowers I just installed.”
(People Off the Page: If you like this style as much as I do which is ALOT, I’ve got some more of it under #Therapy with the Vampire)
“People Off the Page” is pretty damn clever if I do say so myself. Unfortunately it has the same acronym as the group who slavishly follows our fandom’s creator but WHATEVER.
“So lady-of-greenwood tagged me in a handwriting challenge but I didn’t really want to answer those questions so I’m just writing something stream-of-consciousness style, where will it go?! Noone really knows…
I’ll just take this as an opportunity to thank all of my followers, from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for following me, thank you for being supportive, thank you for validating my crazyness with you messages in tags and reblogs, and you make my experience on Tumblr SO much richer. I’m addicted to YOU!
I’m taking the handwriting challenge and turning it into a THANK YOU challenge, and possibly a #VC fandom love challenge. As you can see I am performing the new #VC Diamondhands.
This was a message to all of my followers and anyone who likes my blog. This is open to anyone. Write a thank you note, and post with #VC Diamondhands, if you want to! Let the positivity roll ❤

“Sending a shoutout to all of the quiet people who slip in and out of the fandom leaving comments and positive energy, thinking that they’re invisible or unnoticed. You’re not. You are noticed and you are valued. Thank you for being here, maintaining your presence, and for supporting others. Thank you for contributing to this vibrant community and everything that you do.”
that’s really nice! Q^Q and as a person who feels directed with have to thank whoever wrote this! :3
Merci beaucoup! Good to know I am achieving the goals of interruptive-laughter-causing and bursting blood vessels through fanworks! ❤ YOU SHALL CONTINUE TO GET MORE OF THIS HIGH QUALITY MADNESS.
Cross-stitch bookmarks with VC quotes! I admit that my initial reaction is Yes DO THE THING!
Second reaction, must warn you, this type of fanwork is toeing the line of copyright infringement… :-
HOWEVER, I have seen Etsy items (and other sites) that have products which used VC quotes over the years, so I’m thinking that quotes may be acceptable… or not worth the legal battle to the copyright holders.
It’s a decorative tile that says: “Your body’s dying. Pay no attention. It happens to us all.” which is a movie!IWTV quote, not canon. It even has Lestat’s name on it, since he says it, and it’s sitting there for sale. I feel like you’re safer with movie quotes, but it’s your choice.
So as far as things to use for your bookmarks, dig around in my #quote and #actual quote tags.
As far as a few of my fave movie!IWTV quotes…
I’m flesh and blood, but not human. I haven’t been human for 200 years.
I’m going to give you the choice – I – never had.
You can pretend it’s wine.
I know nothing of God, or the Devil. I have never seen a vision, nor learned a secret, that would damn or save my soul. And as far as I know, after 400 yrs, I am the oldest living vampire in the world.
Merciful Death, how you love your precious guilt.
I want some more.
Anyone have any quotes they want on bookmarks? Send it to andwefaeries!
