I know you’re super busy, but could you draw that one scene in Queen of the Damned where Armand is holding Louis and Daniel because they pass out after Mekare rips Akasha’s head off and eats her heart and brain? C: No rush or anything. Thank you ❤
That’s not fair, you know how difficult it is for me to say “no” to VC related requests?!
“They were all coming to life again, the others. Armand was holding Daniel and Louis, who were both groggy and unable yet to stand; and Khayman had come forward with Jesse beside him, and the others were all right too.” – QOTD
No, they don’t really date in canon *cries* You gottaread between the lines!
[^from Mad Magazine. Date night used to involve getting all dolled up, sharing a nice French “wine” and then pretending to eat dinner and this is where alot of my sense of humor originally came from btw]
They had a very intense and rocky beginning that seemed to skip over the dating phase directly to marriage, then parenting, and then the separation for around 100 years.
I wouldn’t say they “date” in canon in the conventional sense of the word. There are certain moments they have together like that heartbreaking little scene when they met the night before Lestat’s concert (TVL), and another time when Lestat drags Louis against his will to go pester David Talbot for the first time (QOTD) 😛
…But in a more general sense, they do sort of Netflix and chill together. From Tale of the Body Thief:
“It’s amazing how often he came to visit me in my overheated and brilliantly illuminated rooms downtown. There he watched my giant television screen for hours. Sometimes he brought his own films for it on disk or tape. The Company of Wolves, that was one which he watched over and over… There were many other films which delighted him. But these visits could never be commanded by me, and they never lasted very long. He often deplored the “rank materialism” in which I “wallowed” and turned his back on my velvet cushions and thickly carpeted floor, and lavish marble bath. He drifted off again, to his forlorn and vine-covered shack.”
You’d think, for one of the fandom’s main ships, there would be more of it explicitly canon. There just isn’t, sadly. Part of why it’s such a tough ship is that AR just does not let us have much in terms of fluff of them! It mostly happens off-screen. Which is where fanfic steps in to satisfy that need ;]
From the fans who fell into VC since before my time, to the fresh blood (heh heh) who are just wading into it w/ us now, you’ve all made my tumblr experience so rich, I can’t even properly express how blown away I am on a daily basis how many of you send me such lovely messages and intriguing asks, and fanart, etc. and just… how, with your input, this blog has become the blog I wanted to find for all the years I searched for one. Thank you all for laying your affections w/ me over this pile of dysfunctional vampires!
So in the absence of a Follow Forever I’m doing a giveaway ^u^
I bought a few copies of VC books, and I will send them anywhere in the world as long as you have an address I can post snail mail to (and that you’re willing to share your address with me, of course!). The winners will be drawn randomly from ppl who reblog this post.
5 books up for winning: IWTV (gold hardcover), the Witching Hour (large paperback, it’s VC adjacent bc of the later crossover books), IWTV (paperback), TOBT (paperback w/ dual covers), Merrick (paperback). I may add a few more winnable things to this.
Winner also gets a personal handwritten message from me in the book or separately on a card. Winner specifies.
I will contact the winners here on tumblr, so keep your ask/chat open. If I cannot reach you in 48 hours, I will have to pick another winner :-
Only Reblogs will count as entries, and only one per blog counts.
No “giveaway” blogs can win.
I will not be able to disburse tracking for the mail, sorries, but you can send me $ for it via paypal.
This giveaway ends July 29, 2016.
Thank you for again for validating my presence in the fandom here, sharing fanworks, headcanons, the RPers. You’re all wonderful and I feel lucky to have you following me!
She is pretty self-made as a vampire, tho; she hit the ground running biting, didn’t let him teach her very much! In fact, it’s his own experience as an orphaned fledgling, and w/ Gabrielle as his first, that probably convinced him that he didn’t need to teach his later fledglings all that much, that they could learn things on their own for the most part.
Lestat and Gabrielle have a complicated relationship… His Oedipus is showing…
