indeed 👀 I have mainly been discussing it with my friends in group chats but rest assured I am Extremely Normal (which is to say: unhinged) about it. I'm considering instead of rereading from the beginning, just to pick up where I left off or maybe just read the prince lestat trilogy. I haven't read ALL the books you see...

[leanwellback]

this is the correct way to be about IwtV :D ooh yesss rereads are always fun! I really like the new trilogy. well... the second one is a TRIP but it's worth it for the third one. if you've read the first three you've read the best tbh. please don't subject yourself to blood canticle lmao.

Your username on DW: Cephy
Your username on other social media: None really applicable.
Pronouns: she/her
Age bracket: early 40s
Geographical area: Ontario, Canada
Interests: D&D, birdwatching, outdoors in general, baking, knitting, quilting, video and board games, houseplants
Fandoms: Star Wars, Leverage, FF and Tales franchise video games, dabbling in comic books, Critical Role/Dimension 20/other D&D publications... plus many, many others.
What type of posts can we expect in your journal? I still post fanfic sometimes (as well as idea-rambles for fic that I will probably never write). But these days, I seem to talk more about the media I consume and the D&D I'm playing, interspersed with general life chatter.

I have! I have read up to and including the vampire Armand, after which I stopped because I hated that book so much. (I wrote a scathing review of it on goodreads and to date it is the most popular review I ever wrote? it was also hilarious to see how many more likes I suddenly got on that review after IWTV started airing...) and I also did read Pandora but that was some years before I marathoned the first 6 books, which happened one summer like 10 years ago. I have no memory of it at all, I only picked it up from the library because a) I'd read the Mayfair Witches trilogy as a teenager and recognised the author name (at that point in time I did not realise the IWTV film was both based on a book and that Annie Rice was the author) and b) it was one of few English language books in my local library at the time, which was a small library in a small town in Finland that I didn't expect to have an English language section to begin with).

anyway! I am curious about the Prince Lestat trilogy IF ONLY because it sounds just as off the wall bonkers as the entire rest of the series. I hear Louis and Lestat got married in book 2? I am here for that particular trash fire. (I'm vaguely remembering, was it in Memnoch the Devil, where Lestat was in a coma and the other vampires were like 'he's your husband, you deal with him' about it to Louis. and in Body Thief they'd had a spat and Lestat set fire to Louis' house BUT FIRST HE RESCUED ALL THE PAINTINGS and I laugh about it every time I remember it.)

All are welcome to follow me! I post my content publicly, so you don't need special access to see my blog. I may or may not follow you back, and it's not personal--just based on shared interests and content.
I've gotten so I try to avoid politics in my fannish/hobby online spaces.
I post NSFW content including horror, noncon, torture and other dark themes. Anything NSFW or that I think may be potentially triggering will be tagged and under a cut.
I'm happy to apply additional tags or warnings if there's something particular you want me to warn for. Just ask, anytime!

What type of posts can we expect in your journal? I’ve been deep in final fantasy ten hell for nearly two years, so a lot of that; also huge quantities of complaining about social media. I express a lot of Opinions but some of them are quite unusual, so I don’t expect everyone to agree with me about everything.

What type of posts can we expect in your journal? I talk a lot about my life and mental health plus the things I’ve been watching or playing.
Anything else you'd like us to know? You can have a look at my journal before adding me, it’s mostly public. I would hope the fact that I said my pronouns are they/them would scare off the TERFs but in case they didn’t: no TERFs. Also no right-wingers, I have zero interest in expending energy arguing with people on this platform (or any platform, but especially not this one).

Yell excitedly at me if that's the same with you. 😆 Also, I'm currently feasting my eyes on an original, all-male cast for Leonardo Vinci's (no, not the Mona Lisa dude) Alessandro nell'Indie starring strikingly fantastic male soprano Bruno de Sá. 😭 Campy, joyous and in-your-face. I love it!

Ah, don't bother subscribing if you're only looking for some kind of entertainment, or for lurking your heart out. Or if you're prone to the usual asshole -isms; TERFs and other fundamentalists can kindly fuck off. I'm a Gemini with Taurus rising-- actually: lots of Taurus in that chart, if that's something you're interested in. (Translation: I'm pretty easygoing and interested in different things, probably at the same time. I enjoy a good meal, and I'm usually not easy to stress out, haha.)
