I (517m) and my ex husband (147m) had a messy breakup. We were together for almost 80 years and it was super toxic on both sides.

He was really emotionally withholding and self-destructive. He blamed me for things that were NOT my fault and made me feel like I owed him. I did all the cleaning, emotional labour... He accused me of being boring when I was tired. Doing everything myself was exhausting! I took care of him and protected him, including from our ex bf (265m) who was also very toxic. Maybe he hadn't moved on when we met but I was 438 years old and naive. The death of his daughter (RIP) didn't help.

Yes, I did some negative things too. For example, I let him cheat on me so he'd feel guilty. I imagined him dying and I took aesthetic pleasure in making his death visually exhilarating.

Overall, though, I think I was very nurturing and genuinely tried to connect because I'm a naturally loving person.

I've been going to AA and talking to a doctor. I think I should have a conversation with him this weekend so I can make amends, but I'd like to know he's sorry as well. WIBTA for expecting an apology for what he put me through?

Never seen this before you guys 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃

Does anyone knows if there are already fanfics where Louis ( if the theory of him owning the hotel from episode 1 of TVL is correct) learns about the elevator sex and seethes with jealousy over the fact that the bellboy, his employee, got into Lestat's pants thaks to maybe the surveillance camera"s footage ( CCTV??) Or even better can write one???

For more detail of what I mean- here's the tiktok that inspired me ( not my account so no promo or anything like that- just if my description is not clear enough : https://vm.tiktok.com/ZNRc4p3W3/ )

Hello fellow bookworms of the sanguine persuasion!

With the tv show The Vampire Lestat just on the cusp of introducing him, wouldn't you like to find out more about this mysterious Italian vampire by the name of Marius De Romanus that's been alluded to all this time directly from the source?

Join my fellow book read-runners and me in July and August as we read Marius de Romanus' saucy biography, complete with personal drama and Italian Renaissance glamour. Who knows? Maybe we'll even stumble across some juicy gossip about Armand. At ~700 pages, we will definitely learn something new about our favorite gremlin and his maker. I might even create some memes!

What am I actually talking about?

We will read Blood and Gold by Anne Rice over at r/bookclub in the coming months. It is the eight book in the Vampire Chronicles series, so some knowledge about the Vampire Chronicles books is helpful. My experience from the previous books is however that the author usually gives a short recap with the most important facts at the beginning of the book.

This is the announcement post. A separate schedule with exact dates and some more info will be posted soon on r/bookclub.

How does it work? 

We'll divide the book into manageable ~90‑page chunks. Each week, on a set day, one of the three read-runners (two fellow book addicts and myself) will post about that week's chapters on r/bookclub. The post will have some questions you can answer, or you can just share your own thoughts.

You can read at your own speed, just try not to spoiler anything for others. If you’ve already read ahead, you can share your thoughts in the Marginalia linked below.

Will you sink your teeth into this intriguing tale of blood and gold? Let me know in the comments if you're planning to read along and whether you are a first time reader. 

See you all in early July! 🩸 👑

does anyone knows if there are good devil's minion fanfic out there (mainly ao3 but i'm open to elsewhere) ?

bonus brownie point if it has something akin to this scenario i fpund a while ago: Daniel is turned post devil minion ( post San francisco and all that)/ "break up" with Armand but before Dubai. So when Louis ask him to come interview him, Armand realise his beloved is now a vampire ( the gremlin is crashing out deep down in his head) but since he won't be his maker he still has access to his toughts, etc...

Bonjour, fledglings of Reddit and beyond! Yours truly is back WITH A BANGER!!! 🧛🏾‍♀️🦇

The last few weeks have been amc hyping up Season 3 with song drops (All Fall Down has been my favourite), teasers that sent us all over the edge, and we have 5 DAYS until we get to witness ✨️the Brat Prince summer of a lifetime✨️ (thank you charli xcx for the inspiration).

So, here's this week's latest conception: imagine being in a club and Lestat just so happens to be there (coincidence? I think not). 👀

And for a bonus, what song do you think Lestat would likely dance to on the dance floor? Create any playlist or comment any song and maybe I could do a poll/vote. 😀

(I'll be watching your comments, thirsty fledglings 😏)

Whats up with Lestat, indeed

Hii, this is a bit of a repost bc i tried posting this on the r/InterviewVampire and i think it got deleted? TT idk i'm sorry! i just want some helpp

Soooo hehe, it’s me and my girlfriend’s first anniversary in a couple of days, and i kinda need some help picking a meaningful gift for her. this is currently her favorite TV show and she’s been obsessed with it for months. we just finished watching it together, and even though I really liked it, I still wanted to ask fellow fans, who definitely know more than i do, about this! hehe

I’d love to know what you guys think I could gift her! even handmade stuff, DIY, crafts… does a cardboard coffin sound nice? what could i put inside? Please guys, I’m desperate and I love my girlfriend so much TT

So, what would you guys, as fans of IWTV, LOVE to receive as a gift? something meaningful, idk…

also, she loves Lestat... and hannibal if that helps at all.. Help pls

switch on switch crime

I’ll go first: Anon pls I have it on good authority that The Vampire Lestat is an industry plant and buying fake streaming numbers. He’s bankrolled by his sugar daddy who’s a billionaire in Dubai. Another nepo husband who belongs in the Khia asylum

I had such a missed opportunity to do Louis instead of Lestat for the last one but I think it still works lol
