#vampires and social media

[desertfangs]

“The answers are usually funny. Benji keeps telling Daniel he should film it for TikTok but he refuses to learn another social media app” lmao the one boomer with rights. He’d definitely be the type to draw a line at tiktok (whereas Armand is a 500 y/o gen z baby and he definitely has a tiktok account and it’s absolute insanity). I feel like he’d be most into Instagram and would probably follow all kinds of dumbass accounts like openlygayaliens, nochill, brainmelt420, fuckadvertisements, etc. and whenever he’s forced to go to court he spends the whole night scrolling through his feed and laughing to himself and Armand has to send him murderous glances like “goddammit Daniel behave” and he’ll just roll his eyes and stick his tongue at Armand and the newbie vamps are like “HOW is this guy still not burning up in flames? 😰” but as @hekateinhell once brilliantly put it, those are Daniel’s nepo baby privileges at work for ya xoxo DA

Oh god, Armand absolutely has a TikTok and like.. I'm guessing a lot of his videos are just weird shit like an old phone that's been stripped down to its bare inner workings ringing for 30 seconds straight or commentary about some obscure band from the 80s no one remembers. I mean I don't use TikTok (I am a millennial but I also draw the line there!) but I can imagine it's just constantly different stuff, random and super weird, but he's built a small following anyhow because people are just fascinated by him (and whenever he does show his face, he's not bad looking).

I agree Instagram is more Daniel's speed. It's visual but there can be audio/video. He definitely follows accounts that post about miniatures and UFO sightings and one guy in Jersey who's trying to track the Jersey Devil. Sometimes he even goes up there and leaves an animal carcass for the guy to find to fuel his search. (He once left a human arm and Marius had a fit about it when he heard. Armand nodded gravely as Marius ranted but later laughed like hell when he and Daniel were alone and they watched the Jersey Devil hunter's Insta Story together.)

And yes, goodness, Daniel can get away with absolute murder at Court (figuratively speaking). He's Armand's fledgling and companion, he's close with Prime Minister Marius, and he's friends with Lestat. He can walk around in ratty jeans and a faded t-shirt and play Angry Birds on his phone during council meetings and he'll be fine. He might get told off but the younger ones who fear are Armand are probably like what the fuck? How is this the guy Armand is always disappearing with? Of course some of them know he's the reporter who wrote IwtV so he has a certain amount of clout with them. But I digress! Thank you for the message, DA!! It's always a pleasure to see you in my inbox!! Don't be a stranger!

cannot get over how down bad lestat is for louis even thirty years later. louis babe the book plot is so unnecessary! you could have gotten him back with a fire emoji reply to his instagram story. you could have vague-tweeted "missing you..." and he'd be in your DMs instantly. you could have send a "u up?" text to him halfway across the world and lestat would be banging down your door five seconds later!

i think they might like each other just a little bit you guys

— We kidnapped a fucking (ballerina) vampire.

Looking over the history of vampire-related tags on Tumblr can reveal informative trends. For example, for roughly the first decade of this site's life, expressions of interest in a vampire version of Seinfeld were a recurring motif, then in 2019 people suddenly stopped asking for that.

“Let’s just clear that up: Lestat never killed Paul.”

lmaaaaao the man is tired, bless

sam reid is absolutely correct in not having any sort of social media account and limiting his internet usage to 1 hour per day, but he also should definitely have a tumblr account

So there's these Paul Wesley Q&A clips that have been living rent-free in my mind...

I am crazy about the fact that iwtv has fandom in the iwtv universe, so I had a random late-night urge to write-tweet this idea down

Week 4: Old Prompt (Fave S1 Episode)

I've been putting this one off— partly because I'm busy working on a couple things for future prompts (that I hope you all love), but mainly cause I really don't know which one to pick! I will, however, avoid being a coward & say I always vibed with The Brewed— it had a fun gimmick, and it's just so unapologetically stupid of an idea that I can't help but love it.

Still, in the spirit of loving them all:

Which poster is your fave?
