A collection of in-universe tweets, texts, news articles, reddit posts, emails, and more.

Notes:

if theres one thing abt me its that i love a good socmed fic... and as ive already read through all the iwtv ones i can find... might as well make my own

please make sure that creators style is turned on, it will heavily enhance your reading experience!! this fic was formatted for viewing on a computer, but it should still be readable on a phone or television or microwave or whatever it is youre reading on, it might just look a little bit funky.

anyway, enjoy! welcome to my first iwtv fic, aka mischaracterisation central. dont pay any attention to the timelines and also im writing this before s3 is out so.. things will be wrong. also. i dont send professional emails. i dont use twitter. or reddit. get ready to suspend ur disbelief!!!

  47     Concert appropriate for kids?

  ▽     My daughter (16) is a big fan of this musician. She wants to get concert tickets for her birthday, and I told her I'd look into it. I haven't heard of The Vampire Lestat before, so I looked    him up, and I'm divided. I see many photos of him in very provocative outfits. I also see posts of people describing his concerts as a "religious experience", but his content seems very different from the other Christian Rock artists my family listens to. Is it safe for me to bring my girl to one of these shows, or should I tell her no?

I think 16 is plenty old enough for a TVL concert, especially if she's already familiar with his music. She probably knows what she's signing up for.

DANIEL MOLLOY: A TRAILBLAZER IN THE GOTHIC HORROR GENRE


Fleur Partridge

 

Last year, Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Daniel Molloy took the world by storm with the surprise release of his novel "Interview with the Vampire". The book claims to be just that— an interview between Daniel Molloy and the over 100 year old vampire Louis de Pointe du Lac. A clever and intense blend of real history and fantasy, it's clear why the book quickly grew a crowd of adoring fans. Though many books have claimed hoax as real (take Clifford Irving's "Autobiography of Howard Hughes" as an example), none have reached the level of fame and fanaticism that Molloy's "Interview with the Vampire" has. Yet the most groundbreaking aspect of his novel? Its unapologetic queerness.

"Interview with the Vampire" is far from the first to use the monster as a metaphor for homosexuality, yet it deviates from cliche by... SUBSCRIBE TO NOVELS DAILY TO VIEW THE REST OF THIS ARTICLE.

priyah ࣪  ᭡  🕯️ @lovelyy.lestat

since tvl has finally confirmed his international tour, here's my prediction for the setlist, and my reason for why i'm guessing what i'm guessing!! for his opening song, i imagine he'd stick with what he's done on his north america tour, and play the iconic "long face" 🧵 (1/?)

       (2/?) after long face, i think he'll carry the upbeat momentum and play "commedia dell'arte" and then "coffin".
       he probably won't play "hear me now" seeing as its one of his less popular songs, but a girl can dream.
       so thats #4.

       (3/?) "NOLA" is going to be the 5th song. i will not elaborate. i can sense this. i have money riding on this.
       then a switchup to some slower songs atp- "maker" and "donizetti" in specific, bc they go great together

       (4/?) keeping the slower music going, he'll play "come to me" and "st. louis". i would say "the trial" but he's 
       never performed it live before and i can't see him starting now. also far too sad for a tvl concert. i don't think
       i'd survive, so maybe it's for the better.

       (5/?) complete whiplash for song number 11(?), which will be a much faster song like "wolfkiller", followed by
       "so proud of you (end quote)" which ik isn't a tvl song but a satan's night out song from before he joined the
       band, but. it'd be fun i think. so there

       (6/?) how many songs do concerts usually have? idk.. uhhh next up i think he'll play "hate me/love me" and
       "revenge" bc those songs are just written to be played live. and then. ending song. "all fall down" bc its his
       most popular song rn and u gotta go out w/ a bang right??

Maisie, Thanks for the update! No worries about the forms, we still have the reservation on hold for two more weeks. You can still book for the 29th, but please have Logan email me directly about it. 

Stacy Emmit

(P.S. Yes, we're good for dinner. But for future reference, keep the personal stuff out of work emails.)

Hey Stacy, just an update on the liability and safety waivers, I've sent them through to Logan, who you've spoken to, and he's given them to Lestat. We should have those back to you by the end of the week (signed, this time). Once again, huge apologies for the mix-up, won't happen again.

-Maisie

(P.S. Logan wanted me to check if we can book the theatre out for the 29th as well as the 27-28th dates? Let me know if that's possible.)

(P.P.S. We're still on for dinner tomorrow, right?)

Louis, does your boyfriend know I'm supposed to be interviewing him today??

 

lestat isn't my boyfriend

 

Louis, does your ex-boyfriend-husband-companion-lover-maker-situationship know I'm supposed to be interviewing him today??

 

no idea. why?

 

Because I've been standing outside this studio with a camera crew waiting for him to open the door for 40 minutes and i'm pretty sure they're 5 seconds away from either leaving or trying to kill me

 

lol

 

🖕

Do you know where he is or what?

 

you're the one who can telepathically talk to him, no?

 

He's ignoring me

 

one second

11:24 pm

It's been more than one second Louis

11:28 pm

???

11:34 pm

lestat is heading to the studio now

 

he said he forgot

 

Forgot. Yeah right.

 

Everyone seems to be doing a lot of that these days

 

oh you wanna talk about forgetting, daniel??

Notes:

take this as my formal apology for all the angsty iwtv fics i'll be writing in the future. the calm before the storm, if you will.

okay so. i didnt think i had a fav iwtv character. i loved them all so much watching the show. but. writing this i think my fav might be claudia?? like i was so distraught shes not in this fic LMAOO i dont think i realised how attached i am to her until now. so. #claudia is my fav. lestat is a close second i think.

this is prolly soo cringe and out of character but like. im trying to be less critical of my works or whatever yk. cringe but free. if you hate this dont tell me. also. i think technologically inadept lestat is the funniest thing ever youre gonna see me just. nonstop with that.

Notes:

some credits!! firstly, thank you to pheenix for actually convincing me to watch this show. also, fuck you pheenix for getting me obsessed with this show.

the HTML/formatting is not my own, im nowhere near talented enough. the twitter skin is a heavily edited version made by the user starskin, the emailing is an edited version of a skin by sunsetcurbed, the reddit skin is by vauschen, and the messaging is a still edited but slightly less so version by callie37. uhm. credits to the wonderful icantthinkofagoodusername7, who can, in fact, think of a good username. more than one. ty for helping me come up with users for this fic :)

the title comes from "this is the killer speaking" by the last dinner party. i also have another fic with a title from the same song but uhm. it was too perfect not to use here.

if you should wish to reach me (please come say hi i promise im not scary) or see my fandom yapping/art/me screaming abt fics ive written, im on tumblr! @idontknow-howtointernet . sometimes i even do polls and open votes and let people decide what i put into my fics, so. keep your eyes peeled. or just leave a comment and ask im very easy to persuade.

THANKS SO MUCH FOR READING I LOVE YALL MWAH!!!!

ANY USERNAMES THAT ARE THE SAME AS IRL PEOPLE IS COMPLETELY COINCIDENTIAL, IF IVE ACCIDENTALLY USED YOUR USER LMK AND ILL CHANGE IT. (alternatively if you want me to put you in the fic just leave a comment)
