And I’ll use you as focal point So I don’t lose sight of what I want And I’ve moved further than I thought I could But I miss you more than I thought I would Oh I’ll use you as a warning sign That if you talk enough sense, then you’ll lose your mind And I found love where it wasn’t supposed to be Right in front of me, talk some sense to me
Idk what you’re intending to do with these screencaps, here ya go, use them tactfully! And link me when you make your thing 😉
These screencaps are almost funny enough w/o any dialogue at all! Reminds me of a meme I did FOUR YEARS AGO (omg I have been on here awhile??) so I’ll rebagel it for you, Anon.
^I had to flip Dan horizontal so he’d have better eye contact w/ Louis, but if this looks ‘off’ to you, that’s probly why. Anon, you might prefer to do the google and grab a pic of River Phoenix looking disgusted from My Own Private Idaho or whatev bc he was originally going to be Daniel.
Filled a request for Daniel and Marius snuggling <3. My ref for Daniel was Dominik Sadoch and Marius was a mix of Lee Pace and my own usual way of drawing him (those little mouth pouches or whatever, they’re in this season for me!)
Their pose ref is from this promotional photo for All Good Things which was a great start for what we’ve got going on here now.
Speedpaint (2.5 ish hours) of Daniel from @monstersinthecosmos‘ ReverseAU where Daniel is in Venice and Armand is the reporter in IwtV. Here he is drunk in the tavern where Marius finds him. I wanted him to look at the viewer (Marius) coyly with his face already red from drinking. He’s sitting with one leg out from under the table, straddling the corner. His pinky is curled against his lips, it’s a very suggestive hand, and similarly his hand is curled over a full cup of wine. suggesting he’s about to get more wasted heh.
My references was Domenico Caprioli’s self portrait and my FC for Daniel was (shocker) River Phoenix. Ref’d some clothes and cups and wine bottles from the late 1400′s but tbh I was trying to be fast. : d
Lestat: I’m really sorry about last night. It’s just that I’m really mean and loud. It probably will happen again.
Lestat (to Louis): This is an on-fire garbage can…could be a nursery.
Lestat(about Gabrielle): Gabrielle is my best friend in the world, and I give her a million kisses a day. She does not like me and barks at me and bites me all day long.
Gabrielle: Sometimes babies will point at me, and I don’t care for that shit at all.
Louis: I was raised Catholic. I’m not sure if you can tell that from the EVERYTHING about me.
Daniel: Eat ass, suck a dick, and sell drugs.
Armand: *pointing to chest* I’ll keep all my emotions right here and then one day I’ll die.
Marius: You have the moral backbone of a chocolate eclair.
David: Everybody get out of my way! I just wanna sit here and feed my birds.
Nicolas: I like when things are crazy. Something good comes out of that exhaustion.
Claudia: I am very small, and I have no money. You can imagine the kind of stress I’m under.
Santino: We go into the church and I was like “I got this under control.” And then I got schooled because they introduced a bunch of new shit.
Khayman: Too old to be a duckling! Quack quack!
^I love this fanart, he’s got his brother’s raven hair and green eyes <3, but Paul is described in canon as “He had the smoothest skin and the largest blue eyes. He was robust, not thin as I am now and was then… but his eyes… it was as if when I looked into his eyes I was standing alone on the edge of the world… on a windswept ocean beach. ” (IWTV) Not sure whether it’s canon or fanon but Paul was supposedly blond. He was 15 when he died.
I have a few other things collected in my #Paul de Pointe du Lac tag, like this portrait I think is pretty canon compliant:
Also, I know there is a fanart somewhere of Armand ranting that Marius is not Lestat’s sire.
Hmmm that is a very tough one, I know I’ve seen a fanart or two like that over the years, I’ll try and dig around in my personal archives for that. I do think Armand would take more issue at that than the idea that Lestat might have been Daniel’s maker.
I mean, and I shouldn’t go here but I will, bc I think this is one of the reasons I can’t watch movie!QOTD w/o someone with me, cracking jokes at it…
Marius gets unfairly mashed together with Magnus in movie!QOTD, essentially, bc he turns Lestat w/o consent. Therefore, Marius takes on the burden of having raped Lestat into being a vampire and there is no explicit reconciliation or apology for that crime whatsoever, but he and Lestat are kicking it together in Modern Times, with Lestat seemingly bitter at him and Marius seemingly smug back? It’s ooc and uncomfortable. I think Armand would be more annoyed at Marius taking on Magnus’ actions than he would be pissed at Lestat getting to claim Marius as his own sire, since QOTD!Lestat doesn’t seem all that thrilled with that pedigree.
BUT ANYWAY if anyone out there has fanart in which Armand is ranting about Marius not being Lestat’s sire, plz send it to me, or reblog and tag me!
I have one of Lestat and Armand fighting over Marius, and @garama‘s Antonio!Armand w/ QotD!Marius which is not quiiiite what you’re asking for but might like anyway… that I’ll rebagel after this…
So would [Armand] also rant that Lestat is not Daniel’s sire? Since I know people tend to confuse the movies Queen of the Damned and Interview with a Vampire since they state completely different sires from the books.
Ppl may blend together certain things, but I think anyone who’s seen the movies AND read the books takes the books as more true to canon, and the movies as adaptations, which is what they are. But if ppl only see movie!QOTD, I can’t really fault them for taking that info as their own canon, if they like it.
In MY opinion, since you’re asking: Armand will rant about it @ Daniel in private, but Armsy doesn’t tend to rant about anything he’s personally invested in when he’s in Lestat’s presence, preferring to keep a calm, collected, and unflappable profile as much as possible. Lestat knows this and loves to pester Armsy at any opportunity. There’s A LOT of joking around in the coven about those movies and how Daniel narrowly escaped having Lestat as his fictional maker…
Lestat: “You’d have liked that, wouldn’t you?” *makes a kissy face @ Dan*
Daniel: “Not saying I’d have liked it exactly, but it might’ve sped things up a little…”
Armand: “Are you saying I took too long, Daniel? I had my reasons…”
Lestat: “Dude I see someone I love, I turn them THAT NIGHT,” *snaps his fingers* “If I can possibly manage it, or the very next night, or at least that weekend, gotta strike when the iron is HOT!”
Armand: “Or else they might come to their senses and run as far away as they can get from you?”
Lestat: “HEY!”
Daniel: “I did run from you, Armand…”
Armand: “HEY!!”
Marius and Louis just sit back and watch all this, wishing that they had popcorn they could eat.
