I've always found roleplaying games quite interesting because of their storytelling capabilities but I don't have the social skills or a group of friends to consider giving it a try. So I've always stayed on the sidelines, envying the people who have a lot of friends and aren't as self-conscious as I am.
Enter a random youtube video on the youtube main page, titled along the lines: "Got no friends? Try these solo roleplaying games!"
My eyes went the widest they've ever gone. You mean to tell me there's a whole genre of games that I can try out without having to socialize and constantly scrutinice my every move and choice in front of people?? I can tell the stories on my own??? I need to get into that ASAP.
If you have suggestions on solo RPGs that a total newbie can play, feel free to tell me. I've been doing my own research so far and picked up a copy of Thousand Year Old Vampire, which is a journaling RPG in which you create a vampire character and chronicle their life during a thousand years, creating and discarding memories as time goes on. Seems to be a bit advanced for my absolute nonexistent knowledge of how roleplaying works, but that's fine. I'll do my best.
I'll be creating my character and playing with them as soon as I can. Would anyone be interested in reading a playthrough, if I post it here? Keep in mind it's not going to be a historically accurate campaign or anything, I refuse to get caught up in the tiny details (which I tend to do because of my✨crippling perfectionism✨). I just want to try this out, have as much fun as I can and see where my creativity takes me.

wearing white/ivory is really a rookie mistake for someone who gets bloodstains in their clothes so regularly, but she'll never learn because The Fit comes first 😔

Viktor's name headcanon
When Fareed and Flannery and the other scientists were trying various methods to create a clone-hybrid from Lestat's sample, there was a competition to see who could produce the winning viable product. It was lighthearted and fun, and produced a little inner-lab rivalry between the scientists. After all, Viktor was created before the first publicly known mammalian clone, Dolly the sheep (Dolly was 1996, Viktor was 1994). Of course they couldn't go public with Viktor's creation, especially when part of the reason he was successful was due to the vampiric nature of the sperm.
When the scientists thought they were close they would claim they were the 'victor' of the competition, even if the resulting product most often didn't last more than a few days. In the end, Fareed was the one who did produce the 'victor' of the race, and his victory was successfully implanted into Flannery. The nickname for the coming baby was 'victor', though Flannery had the habit of just calling him baby Lestat. As the due-date approached and there was no better alternative for a name, they all landed on Viktor, with a little letter change to obscure why that was his name, even though Victor is a perfectly acceptable name, it was too close to thinking of him as a prize rather than a child.

[Image description: A half body digital drawing of Nova Neverrmore, an OC created by @party-guy, set against a swirled dark pink background with a solid light pink rectangle framing her. Nova is a young, thin, gray-purple Drow with cropped pale lilac hair. She is wearing a long sleeve yellow turtleneck under a brown vest and large circular pink glasses. Her hands are extended out towards the viewer, three pink sparks of arcane light floating between her hands. Her head is slightly cocked as she looks toward the viewer with a smug smile. End description.]

with the story of the show being set in the early 20th century instead of the 19th, to me it actually makes more sense for louis to still be this mad at lestat in 1970s than in the book.
claudia's diary said they arrived in paris in the 1940s so louis's grief is probably still very fresh during the first interview. meanwhile in the books it's got to have been around a hundred years since then and louis still seems to resent lestat.
so i guess what i'm trying to say is that what louis tells daniel about his life in new orleans with lestat and claudia feels a lot more honest than the 1973 interview in the books? because in the amc show, you have the old interview that's colored by the relatively recent loss of claudia and loui's new perspective years later. episode 3 talks about that whole idea of the "odyssey of recollection" and while i won't deny louis is an unreliable narrator and we have to rely on his memories as the viewer, the 2022 story still seems the more sincere version to me.

CHARACTER A had on the ragged remnants of a wedding dress, all done up in lace and yellowed silk. CHARACTER A raised long, spindly arms whose extra joints made the fabric bulge, and twirled. The whole effect resembled the efforts of someone who was attempting to recreate a pointillism drawing of a creature whom the artist had never seen and had only had vague descriptions to go on.
CHARACTER B must have hesitated too long in answering, because character A scowled at him, lips pulling back to bare a sliver of a glimpse of mismatched, razor sharp teeth. "I just don't see the point," CHARACTER B said. "What does it matter if you are in a dress if your mere presence makes a room draw back in horror and disgust? That is our life, CHARACTER A. That is truth. Struggling to avoid it will just lead you to heartbreak. I know this. You should, too."
CHARACTER A raised her head. "Defining oneself is one of the last few traces of beauty left to us. When your entire word is dust and misery and death, who are you to tell me that my name cannot be my star?"
