the worst thing about tumblr fandom is that thing where everyone acts like fiction is reality and carries the same weight as reality and that if you like things in fiction you must be a Very Bad Person who is possibly abusive or a pedophile and there’s literally no acknowledgement of the fact that fiction is quite fundamentally not reality at all and that people have been exploring the darker aspects of life in fiction for thousands of years and these things have no bearing on one another AT ALL but oh no you like THAT CHARACTER? you must be SICK.

Message from a mod: Thank you so much for your kind words!
I know people have asked you for essential Goth bands/songs before, but are there any essential or iconic Goth music videos you think people should see?
Oh, yes. A short list of essential music videos:

- Grimly Fiendish – the Damned
- Dominion – Sisters of Mercy
- Lullaby – The Cure
- Face to Face – Siouxsie and the Banshees
- Bloodletting – Concrete Blonde
Bonus round! (Not “classic” goth, but ones I feel are essential)
- I’m Afraid of Americans – David Bowie (featuring Trent Reznor)
- The Carnival is Over – Dead Can Dance
- Vampires Will Never Hurt You – My Chemical Romance (stop rolling your eyes, StuntHusband)
- Join Me In Death – HIM
- The Fine Art of Poisoning – Jill Tracy
Did they look like psychos? Is that what they looked like? They were vampires. Psychos do not explode when sunlight hits them, I don’t give a fuck how crazy they are! (From Dusk Till Dawn, 1996)
#from dusk till dawn#dude they do not show a vampire playing with their fangs often enough cinematically#bc that is the first damn thing i would do#EVERY NIGHT#play with or touch fangs#bc they are mega awesome okay#repeatedly bite own lip to scare ppl#YES#this is how I would vampire#yes I would like to vampire plz#how to vampire#not VC#VC adjacent
#SERIOUSLY I DON’T HEAR ABOUT JUST HAVING FANGS ENOUGH #I mean those two idiots in iwtv took every chance to show their fangs with a stretched grin or open mouthed laugh but to actually play with #their fangs like a nervous tick #especially newbie vamps #because just learning how to talk again without biting off your tongue after getting those things #like that would take a couple days at least
YES ALL THAT #AUGH #THIS IS ALL WE GET IN TERMS OF A VAMPIRE PLAYING WITH HIS FANGS IT IS NOT NEARLY ENOUGH #but praise him for doing it I bet it was not in the script #ACTING #PROFESSIONAL ACTING

I have a non vc related question, sort of: You make a lot of reaction gifs and I see that you put your url name on them – BUT, just to check, is it okay to use your gifs as reaction images in posts/asks, and if yes should I credit you in my post/tags? I just want to be respectful since I know making these gifs takes work! Thanks in advance for your answer. =)
Sure, go right ahead and use whatever you like!
I put my url on them knowing that they’d be downloaded and reposted, it’s a way to keep the source intact ;] tho if u notice I don’t add it on some that I think either push the envelope of offensiveness too far or I feel like I didn’t really add enough to claim them as “mine.”
But yes, it would be gr9 if you tag me when you use them, just add a little [i-want-my-iwtv] below them, bc then I’ll see it in my activity feed, and can see it in your post. It’s really fun to see these things in different contexts. A tag would be nice, too, as #iwantmyiwtv or #i-want-my-iwtv.
Obviously, it would be best if people who want to use my works use them as reaction gifs only, and not simply repost on a new post… but I can’t stop that from happening, so I can’t really get upset if it happens. It means too much to me to be able to share these things freely, so it’s a risk I’m willing to take. I’m sure it’s happened already *shrugs*
Hey guys! I know a lot of you dig VAMPIRES, and a lot of you dig NICE ART, so please consider backing this KICKSTARTER if you have the funds:
The Vampire Artbook Kickstarter!
There are a ton of awesome artists in it already and I just confirmed that my comic is actually gonna make it in too (even tho it’s technically too long ghhhhghi’msorry)
So yeah if you’re digging the panels above and wondering “Is this going where I hope it’s going” (knowing my followers, i can confirm for you that yes, yes it is) then consider picking one up!
They only have 20 hours to go and are ALMOST funded, so I hope we can make this happen! I want to own this book too!!
UPDATE: this kickstarter is closed, but the artbook may still be available to buy. Go ask vampireartbook ❤
