Do you want to come with us into this now?

We're hosting a fanweek dedicated to Gabrielle de Lioncourt from Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles / AMC's The Vampire Lestat, running from September 7th-13th 2026.

This is a week-long event organized by fans, for fans, that aims to celebrate fanwork of Gabrielle de Lioncourt. Everyone is welcome to participate as many days and as many times as they wish, be it through written work, visual art, video edits, collage, (analysis threads, playlists) or anything else you can think of! All contributions will be shared on twitter and tumblr, and a collection will be opened on ao3 closer to the date of the event.

Although prompt quotes have been taken from the novel The Vampire Lestat, works will be accepted whether they’re focused on book or show Gabrielle/a, or anything in between—make it your playground.

Any pairing and any type of NSFW content will likewise be welcome, as long as it is tagged appropriately. Be sure to also tag your works with #gabrielleweek26, and tag us in them so we can repost them!

Feel free to send any questions to the ask box. Hoping to see you and all your creations in September, and in the meantime, happy crafting!

i wanna see more stories with a time skip epilogue where at least one character has clearly transed their gender and it isnt really remarked upon. bonus if none of them were remotely hinted to be trans until that moment because i think it'd be funny to watch a fandom react to that. your blorbo's happily ever after involves being a woman. dont worry about it.

Something bad has been happening to me lately. I keep saying “oh a puppy” when i see something i find cute. I was on a walk on the cliffs and I saw a slug and said it because i thought I was alone, but then an old lady on her walk teleported behind me and said “Im afraid not…”

[sugarcarnation]

really struck by how claudia grieving madeleine seems to be the thing that gets most to lestat during the seance. he only starts to cry when claudia tells them that she can’t find her companion, that’s she’s been alone this entire time. and of course this is what would get to him. the thing he fears the most is loneliness. so knowing that his daughter found a companion only to lose her again in death. it’s devastating

The problem with studying the deep ocean is that humans need light to look at things, the depths of the ocean are extremely dark, and what lives there is accustomed to spending most of its time in that darkness. So when we go down there with submersibles and turn on Big Lights to see, we invariably and dramatically alter what's going on, in the same way that it's generally difficult to observe the natural behaviors of terrestrial animals if you whip out a megaphone and shout HEY GUYS WHAT ARE YOU DOING at them first.

I put this in the comments but feel it needs a reblog- Check out some of Dr Edith Widder’s work on light in the deep sea! Among other things, she used the bioluminescence of stoplight fish to deduce wavelengths which most deep sea animals can’t perceive and used that to create light filters to be able to film with minimal disturbance! And that’s how we got 25 minutes of giant squid footage!!!!

i hate it when i cant even write a poem about something because its too obvious. like in the airbnb i was at i guess it used to be a kids room cause you could see the imprint of one little glow in the dark star that had been missed and painted over in landlord white. like that's a poem already what's the point

[canthaveshitingotham-crucified]

you get it. you get the themes. i dont have time to do it justice. just look at it its on the ceiling
