As would I….
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.
♛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:
♛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*

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.

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:

So keep drawing! And share if you want.

Currently, the Walking Dead. And Carol is my fave character!
♛And what, pray tell, is a Frenchy Santa?
Thanks for the info! Wow, we are going to be spoiled w/ all these TV adaptations… all the glorious bingeing…
The whole gender thing for Eli is ambiguous in the films, and, from what ppl who have read the books have told me, also ambiguous in the book.
From what I’ve heard about the book, the character is referred to with female pronouns until the ritual castration is revealed, and then the character is referred to with male pronouns. It is up to every reader’s interpretation to determine gender of the character at any point. If the author wanted us to have a definitive answer, I feel like that answer would have been made less open to interpretation.
Hopefully, the TV series will clarify this debate, if it is important to the creators/director to do so. Even without an answer to this, the story is still very compelling and I’m excited to see more of these characters!
He does fancy musicians and androgyny! I don’t know Brian Molko, I’ll have to look into him, but I think Lestat would like his aesthetic, and this quote….
