I want a VC animated series!!! SO BAD. Bc then we could have serius moments with beautiful artwork, we could achieve scenes and effects that could be too hard to film or be too expensive, and then we could also have the sillier moments, distorted features on the characters like we can do in fanart… I feel like it would be a great medium.

To Louis and/or Lestat: what lullabies would you sing to Claudia?

♛We did sing to her, lullabies of our own childhood that we could remember. These were obscure songs known only to our caregivers, we both had nurses in childhood – neither of our mothers sang to us, although Louis recalls now that his sister sometimes sang to his brother when he was very young.

But if we really wanted her to fall asleep, a better solution was for me to play her a piece on harpsichord or piano while Louis held her, bundled up in her favorite blanket, and brushed her hair. She’d be out cold in minutes. 

Or even something more lively like this piece:


//ooc; IDK what song the 2nd video’s song is. 

We’re not too sure of what lullabies exist now that they might have sung to Claudia… but @takemetocoffin-or-losemeforever shared this piece, apparently from Louisiana:

Lestat, have you seen/heard about Yuri on Ice? Dude, you’d love it. I’ve only seen a few episodes (yet), but it’s got hot guys and my gay otp (besides you and louis ofc!!!!) that I ship SO HARD. Totally right up your alley. If you haven’t already, you should check it out. Lol

♛I’ve seen the first four episodes and I adore it, no question about it.

You “ship” Louis and I? I know what that word means, and that’s very sweet of you *smiles* 

I ship, too. I might need to cosplay these two lovebirds with my own lovebird… I might even allow him a haircut for this one specific purpose *winks*

[X by @joannaestep, please click the X to reblog their art!]

Last week at work, I saw a little girl who looked exactly how I always imagined Claudia, and was actually quite startled. She was the right size, same facial features and even had a sort of uncaring, despondent look. It was quite eerie.

I feel that way about kids I see out in the world, too, 5 year olds are not all sunshine and rainbows. Too bad you can’t say to their parent, “Hey can I take a picture with your kid to share with my fandom? She looks like the child vampire from the vampire series we love!” Yeah, not creepy at all, lol.

What do you love most about Lestat?

merciful-death:

My muse HAS to answer everything truthfully for one hour, starting now!

It is impossible to expect me to give one definitive answer.  To love in such a manner, it is not a matter of picking favorite traits.

I love his vigor.  He’s not one to allow himself to become bored or secluded easily.  He does not think before he acts.  He simply does, and I have always envied him for being able to live in such a way.

I love his capacity to love others.  Lestat sees in humanity all of the positives, of which I also cannot claim to fathom for myself.  He sees beauty in all.  There is no being in this world that he does not feel is important in some way.

I love the forgiveness that he is capable of giving.

I love his seductiveness, his tenderness, and even his cruelty.

I love him as a whole.

tfw 666 unfinished vc related art pieces but cant finish them bc own art looks always Hella Bad™ and im scared to publish them anyway haha

Dude it’s not about the art quality! Don’t do it for the notes. Do it for yourself. You might be being too hard on yourself, you may find your style not as “good” as someone else’s but that doesn’t make it Hella Bad™! It’s Hella Yours.

As with all the arts, like writing, music, drawing, etc., we all have to start at a place of less skill than we can earn over time. For me, humor can supersede technical ability. Applying humor and choosing the right expressions can be just as difficult as the technical ability, and to my taste, can be better than a really pretty portrait. 

This is not the best drawing but it’s totes lolworthy:

Ppl might not Like/Reblog your stuff but it’s always great to see someone’s archive and see how they’ve improved over time.

Claudia probably had to practice for years to draw so well, and that should have been a clue to her dads that she was much older inside than she looked, bc few children would be able to draw this skillfull, especially w/o a live model in front of them well she had a dead one but she wasn’t looking at it:
