I’m pretty darn excited??? With that, the series will possibly finally get the justice it deserves, and tumblr will explode from the art of vampire brats dads, More fan art for the community to enjoy!
Maybe I’ll get my vampire fever and boundless fan mode back with it
👀
Canonically, we have Word of God from the author re: birthdays for 3 of them:
Lestat’s birthday is November 7, the birthday of Anne Rice’s late husband Stan (whom she partially modeled Lestat after).
Louis’ birthday is October 4, which is Anne’s birthday.
Claudia mentions her birthday in her diary (in QOTD) as beingSeptember 21, but she’s not sure if that’s really her birthday and her dads won’t explain it further (it’s probably the day she was turned, given the context of the diary entry). That’s Michele Rice’s birthday, Anne’s late daughter.
So that means (according to astrology-zodiac-signs.com, idk if it’s authoritative):
Lestat’s a Scorpio – the most lusty/sexual sign, brave, passionate, stubborn, violent, jealous, secretive, resentful, manipulative ✓YEP
Louis is a Libra – the scales, justice, contemplative, Cooperative,diplomatic, gracious, fair-minded, social, Indecisive, avoids confrontations, will carry a grudge, self-pity ✓YEP
Claudia is a Virgo – a virgin, strong, practical, detail-oriented ✓YEP
There’s fanon that Armand’s birthday is Nov. 11 (@auburnandamberangelposted about it last yr, but I think it’s a fanon thing as well), and I like that it would be that close to Lestat’s on the calendar, another source of contention between them, that they’d share the same zodiac sign >;}
Armand WOULD HATE following Lestat on the calendar, like, c’mon, Lestat would throw a HUGE BALL for himself (you KNOW he would), and then like 4 days later, Armand wants to have a big party… and everyone is like… ~Meh we just HAD one~… (They all went home already)(poor Armsy ;A;)
So Louis suggests to Lestat that he share! And have a bday party for both of them in between, on like 11/9. And Lestat is all pouty like “WHY SHOULD I SHARE WHEN MINES FIRST?? 11/9 WILL BE TOO LATE FOR MINE”
@garama I love your art and your characters. They’re wonderful and I’m thankful you share them with us 💕
OH GOSH, this looks GREAT!? I love it! I’m smiling like a dork here, I’m so happy to receive such a lovely piece of art done in a charming drawing style..! The shaded areas with textures make a sweet contrast with the smooth chestplate. I like the way you draw eyes and hair, and I’m really impressed how you were able to draw face so well from this angle (I find it really challenging myself, but you did A++ job)! I could go through the whole pic line by line, I have to stop this before it gets out of hand…
I’m just so thankful and surprised and all jolly about this, I don’t know how to even express my gratitude in a way that you deserve THANK YOU, ASH! :･ﾟ☆
Oh, what a title to bear!? But I made a thing for you, anon.
Here’s the pretty scene what took a place in Palais Royal (from The Vampire Lestat, part V: The Vampire Armand), first thing what came up to my mind since I couldn’t think about anything original.
I love those two idiots.
I had tears in my eyes when I reread that part after a long time oh my god
That sounds very #Lestatuesque, share a picture with us if you have any! He does love gold and sequins and over the top patterns and !SPRAKLES! (which, really, is a much better way to spell “sparkles,” n’est pas?).
