So I’ve only been in the fandom a short while (about two months- 5 books in though, little slow for me but whatever) but I followed you relatively early on and for the life of me idk why but I never remember that I followed you so I’m always like “ooh, VC stuff, nice! Let me follow them…… oh. Right”

[Give us some of your first impressions, who are your faves? What are your ships? And um, excuse u, 5 books in 2 months when you have Real Life, too, that’s not slow to me, heck, when I reread just one of these books it takes me at least 2 months, squeezing it into my “Copious Amounts of Free Time” and I hope this blog isn’t spoiling you too much, if spoiling bothers you I frickin’ love being spoiled, myself). 

Awwww thank u! What a lovely thing to tell me. Welcome to our little corner of tumblrland mmmm fresh blood….

So I try to keep this thing purely VC, and I have my self-imposed post limit, so I think for A LOT of my followers, they probably are like you, and see a post from me, and go, “Oooh a VC blog, I should foll- oh yeah, I already follow it!” Sometimes I even see smtg reblogged from me on my own dash and I go, “Oooh! New VC fanart! I should reblo- I ALREADY REBLOBBED IT!” 

I used to have a rule about reblogging stuff only once so I wouldn’t have duplicates in my archive, but the audience changes, there’s tons of new ppl out on tumblr every year, so WHY THE HECK keep some awesome fanart from their dash just bc I reblogged it 2 years ago??! So I reblob stuff from my own archive sometimes, usually when I’m in there looking for smtg else and I find an old fave that PPL SHOULD SEE! ❤

BTW if you want some more VC stuff, we recently did a @vcsecretgifts, that archive has a bunch of VC fanworks in it and you can find more VC blogs that way ;D

Louis & Lestat (2/2) by @chyrsoprases

I commissioned this for @sanguinivora! This is the second version, with the cool vintage photo effect. I love their expressions, and the overall composition, and Louis has canon!hair, which I know at least 2 ppl will appreciate, and anyway, here’s a typical evening in the Rue Royale, with Louis reading smtg to Lestat bc adorbz.

@chyrsoprases is a great artist to work with, highly recommend!

You’re my favorite blog ever. The amount of times I have typed in your blog name (I’m not supposed to be on tumblr, but here I am, on private mode) is insane. Best wishes, Diana Winchester (From google plus)

Thank you, dearie! I deal a highly addictive substance, definitely worth seeing on private mode, always nice to hear from my heavy users, lol.

Thank you for all the work you do for this fandom. You’re one of the reasons I got into it properly. Bernadette, Happy Christmas xxx

Omg, I love this! Look at this happy vampire family in the snow awww 😍 I love their expressions, and the color scheme you chose has such a dreamy quality. 

You’re so welcome, I do what I do bc when I was starting out, I couldn’t find the VC fandom, it was mostly in hiding then… I’m glad you were inspired to get involved here bc of my blog! *hugs* ✨❤️✨

Joyeux Noël!

Merci beaucoup! To you, too!

I didn’t offer the option of sending messages to Santa Lestat this year, sorry about that. Might bring him back next year. 

My Ask Lestat muse has been a little awol these days, but I sense him coming back soon!
