“Shout out for Queen of the dammed for ending with Louis and Lestat making out in a graveyard and the Lestat saying “let’s go terrorize and old man and then I’ll buy you a coat” which they then do, a sequence of events that never fails to make me laugh and never fails to get s reaction out of non-VC fans when I summarize that ending as such”
“One thing about this fandom that’s different from every other fandom I’ve been in is how almost everyone seems so incredibly creative. Seriously, nearly every blogger is ready and willing to draw something, write something, produce a photoset, etc. There’s no separation between fanwork producer and fanwork consumer like there usually is in a fandom. And I’ve never seen newcomers being ridiculed for a perceived lack of talent or inexperience.”
“I’m so happy to see devilsfool back. Their Lestat is phenomenal. He reads just like early-canon Lestat! Their RPs have always brightened my dash. So much love to them.”
//OMG This is the sweetest thing to ever cross my dash and I don’t even know how to react to it.
Thank you so much! That means so much to me, you can’t even know!
My friend and I were talking about an R&B musical of Vampire Chronicles as a joke but we’ve actually compiled part of a cast, this is pretty much the nerd version of fantasy football:
Sometimes, in fandom, we just want to write id-tastic fic that rolls around in tropes that might be viewed as problematic. But we don’t want to address the problematic side of things in this particular fanwork; we just want to roll around and wallow.
It is considered courteous to give readers a heads-up via use of AO3 tags. I propose a tag that signals that a given fanwork is for rolling around, not giving a measured evaluation of anything. The MCU has carved out a space for this sort of fic with the “HYDRA Trash Party” tag, for which I commend them. Trash Party is a bit too specific to cover all of the ground I’m thinking of here, though; I propose “Dead Dove: Do Not Eat.”
For those of you not familiar with Arrested Development, Michael Bluth finds a paper bag in the freezer labeled “Dead Dove: Do Not Eat.” He opens the bag, finds a dead dove, and reacts as follows:
[gif of a white man saying “I don’t know what I expected” in a deadpan manner]
The “Dead Dove: Do Not Eat” tag would essentially be a “what it says on the tin” metatag, indicating “you see the tropes and concepts tagged here? they are going to appear in this fic. exactly as said. there will not necessarily be any subversion, authorial commentary condemning problematic aspects, or meditation on potential harm. this fic contains dead dove. if you proceed, you should expect to encounter it.”
There are all kinds of reasons why a movie has chosen to go in a different direction than the book, the director has chosen to work on the film bc they want to put their spin on the story, so if you don’t like elements they’ve changed, consider them AU to your headcanon.
It’s so good to promote such peaceable ppl as the captain ❤

“It was Daniel who had languished for many a year—shocked, deranged, lost, unable to care for himself—in Marius’s care… | Marius loved Daniel. He had salvaged Daniel from the aftermath of that storm, and never for one moment regretted it. Marius knew that Daniel had also salvaged him from the same chaos..” – From “Prince Lestat”

I actually adore reading books from Lestat’s point of view because he is in all seriousness the most honest narrator I’ve ever encountered in fiction. He couldn’t care less if something he says is so embarrassing the reader (meeeeeee) has to put down the book and cover their face for five entire minutes before they can pick it up again. He owns it and everyone, everyone (from readers to characters) loves him for it.
And it’s actually pretty refreshing to come out of Interview with a Vampire into The Vampire Lestat. It’s literally like going from Louis lying to your face while he cries and blows his nose on your t shirt to Lestat bursting through your bedroom door with a full chorus behind him performing Uptown Funk.
//One of my favorite things is idea of these vampires being on reality shows. Like just in general. But especially like ridiculous ones made up for them specifically. Like:
The Fledgling – 20 gorgeous young people compete to be Lestat de Lioncourt’s next fledgling by trying to win him over with one-on-one dates and their own charming personalities. Including a very special episode where Louis de Pointe du Lac gets to pick the people who get a date with Lestat. Hosted by Daniel Molloy. (Armand bribes the producers to let him into the editing bay and make an entire episode where Lestat rolls around on a bed complaining about the size of his feet and his other inadequacies.)
The Talamasca Files – Follow awkward, can’t-say-no-to-vampires Talamasca Agent Stirling Oliver, as he flagrantly breaks his organization’s #1 Rule (”Do not engage with Lestat!”) and investigates supernatural happenings in New Orleans. Special guest appearances by the Mayfairs.
The Real Vampires of Night Island – Immortality! Eternal youth! Constant drama! Watch vampires lead glamorous, picturesque lives as they navigate their way through a mortal world that hates them for their beauty and riches. Highest rated episode to date: “The Suit.” A red velvet riding jacket disappears from Lestat’s closet and he sets out to find the culprit. (Spoiler alert: it’s Marius. Spoiler alert: That’s all he’s wearing.)
I mean, you know, for example. It’s not like I’ve thought about this a lot…
Armand bribes the producers to let him into the editing bay and make an entire episode where Lestat rolls around on a bed complaining about the size of his feet:
“Seldom did I see my feet in black socks. I knew almost nothing personally about my feet. They looked rather small for the twenty-first century. Bad luck. But six feet was still a good height.”
