Look all I’m saying is, if snapchat existed in the 80’s Daniel would most definitely have ‘not so passive’ aggressively snapped Armand a lot.

but what if he just took Polaroids and left them all over the place for Armand to find when he woke up. YOU CAN WRITE LITTLE NOTES/CAPTIONS ON THE WHITE STRIP ON THE BOTTOM so it definitely happened. 

He definitely did that. Someone artsy make them now, I need them in my life

Wanted to do a painterly illustration of Armand from Vampire Chronicles.
I think the scene from his mortal days where he’s whipped and then… the stuff that happens… has all these unexplored layers.

Regret, reparations, the mixing of pleasure and pain and the guilt of seeing yourself as a victim- whether you see pain in your life as fate. Anyway, I love Armand’s character and his outbursts have always been fascinating! 

I’d like to imagine that this scene is a vision he’s given himself. Going back to Venice and destroying it while his backside stings from lashes and the blood chills as it trickles downwards. A sheepish curl of his hand in his hair. The expression we cannot see. The hand clenching the beloved color of his master, maker, lover, etc.

BEAUTIFUL. Beautiful in the way that it’s a very delicate subject and I feel like @superhiki​ captured it with such tenderness and dignity… as @gothiccharmschool​ put it, re: Crimson Peak: “as my definition of goth/gothic is looking for “beauty and wonder in dark or unsettling places”.” (X) and this is an example of that for me *applauds*

I love this pic. Though they r not Lestat and Louis, they r Annatar and Celebrimbor. It’s vampire AU.

Dear Lestat, I’m deathly sick with the flu and my temp is 102.7. Drawing fanart of you, Louis, and Armand kind of distracts me for a while, lol. Have any tips to get better? Also, have you ever tried hot blood before? Just wondering if you’d find it great or nasty.

[//ooc; If you are in fact deathly ill, please seek medical attention! This is just a fandom blog.]

♛Serious viral illness is one thing I definitely do not miss about being human. Although, the remedies for these, many of them didn’t exist in my time. Humidifiers! Detox baths! Electrolyte drinks in every color of the rainbow! Medications! We had bone broth and soup, herbal teas. 

Art has long been a cure for many kinds of ailments, even if it only serves to provide mental pain relief. Advice on improving your art? Do what you love, explore it with an open mind, don’t criticize your progress too harshly. And share your drawings of us *smiles* Art has healing properties for those who view it, as well *winks*

You asked about hot blood, well, human blood is naturally the same as normal human body temperature at about 98.6°

Fahrenheit, which happens to be a perfectly palatable temperature for vampires. I think we sense it as hotter than that, since

mortals tend to enjoy coffee between 120°-140° Fahrenheit.

 A little internet research tells me that:

  • Cat and dog blood is close to human blood, at 101-102.5° F.
  • Rat blood is a little less at 96.6-99.5° F. Imagine my poor Louis drinking what is essentially cold, stinky – and furry – coffee for some four years? Disgusting.
  • Hotter than that… I’ve never measured it but I’m certain our vampiric blood is far hotter than mortal blood. I’ll have to ask Fareed. It tastes hotter. The internet tells me the boiling point of blood is 212° F, and I would believe it if Fareed told me our temperature was near to that. 

I’ve never boiled blood or experimented with it to taste, but @roselioncourt​ certainly has been intrigued by working with blood in the kitchen. Any thoughts on this, ma cocotte? I bought her a cute little chef hat and apron, matching, of course.
