♫ You are all rotten fruit;
I’ll crush you underneath my hoof.
Then I’ll take the poison juice,
And feed it to my chosen few ♫After a looong time i needed to draw something small just for myself.

that whole “gay for Louis” ask reminded me of how much I love Louis so thanks for that, anon and Burnadette. I’d go on a days-long rant about how much I love this mournful-yet-will-cut-a-bitch-while-looking-like-an-angel angel but I think you get the gist <3
THANK U! That reply took a lot of thought and it’s good to know that was appreciated.

Feel free to send me rants about this mournful-yet-will-cut-a-bitch-while-looking-like-an-angel angel (<— NICE), bc #we appreciate and love louis in this house, as @13bels so eloquently tagged that post ❤
Louis de Pointe du Lac on fire because why not! (Because of that last post about ‘Here Comes the Sun’ in A Minor, that’s why.)
i’m enough of a nerd to see when a weapon would be impractical but not enough of a nerd to give a shit
Scythe Wielder: *Shows up in a media*
Me: You know, scythes were designed for reaping grain, not combat. Yes it is bladed so it could be a weapon but not a very efficient one.
Scythe Wielder: *Does that badass scythe stuff*
Me: Hot damn that’s cool.
Within the canon of the Vampire Chronicles, can vamps get sick?
Sick meaning: the flu, viruses (like HIV), and cancer? From my understanding, no, Ricean vampires are not susceptible to these kinds of diseases. In Only Lovers Left Alive, those vampires have arrangements w/ mortal agents to get clean blood rather than risk taking victims, whose blood could be tainted w/ modern disease or drugs, which OLLA vampires are vulnerable to (but they don’t go into much detail about it). I can’t think of any other vampire media that even touches on the issue of blood diseases and/or other physical illnesses.
@anton-mordrid makes an excellent point here [X]: #1 how the fuck can you not associate HIV/AIDS with vampires, you personally literally made it a blood disease transmitted by explicitly sexual acts between your gay male protagonists.
I’m not educated enough to go any further on this issue, but if you want more on this, go to @vraik and @anton-mordrid.
Sick meaning: physically repulsed to the point of having a visceral reaction? Yes.

In TVL, Lestat tosses his cookies (ok he vomits some blood, no cookies tossed) at the sight of a pile of dead bodies the night he’s turned. (He also hurls as he’s escorted down to the Children of Darkness meeting).
“In a deep prison cell lay a heap of corpses in all states of decay, the bones and rotted flesh crawling with worms and insects. Rats ran from the light of the torch, brushing past my legs as they made for the stairs. And my nausea became a knot in my throat. The stench suffocated me.
He also says that vampires can’t stand to be around the dead bodies of their kills, either:
Revulsion at the sight or smell of death seemed part of my nature. I couldn’t watch executions any more than when I was that trembling boy from the Auvergne, and corpses made me cover my face. I think I was offended by death unless I was the cause of it! And I had to get clean away from my dead victims almost immediately.
Dead blood is not poisonous to them, just distasteful. In TVL, Lestat goes to Armand in Paris for help after Claudia and Louis try to assassinate him a second time, and Armand throws him in a locked cell with a dead mortal for dinner: “Sometime in the dark, I discovered a mortal victim there. But the victim was dead. Cold blood, nauseating blood. The worst kind of feeding, lying on that clammy corpse, sucking up what was left.”
^So clearly dead blood is not bad in the sense of being poisonous, just icky 😛
REALLLYYY fun cyber-occult-neon-muscle-gore commission I got to do! So many fun glitchy effects were used in this so I learned quite a bit while working on it.
Usually I don’t post gorey things to this blog, but I’m so pleased I wanted to share.
