Make sure he gets home before dawn!, featuring Brian Callahan & Lestat de Lioncourt by @lousysharkbutt 

I recently commissioned this fanart of @gairid‘s OC Brian & Lestat for @gairid‘s birthday (which was October 22!) *slaps myself with rolled up magazine for the delay* To my knowledge, this is the first fanart of Brain ❤ It’s based on this pic, More fanart of OC’s, people!

ANYWAY thank you @gairid (aka @vampchronfic) for writing some of my favorite VC fanfic, your writing really captures our beloved vampires, and your worldbuilding is so rich and vibrant, it’s such a treasure, and thank you for sharing your headcanons with us, and being a wonderful friend to me for so many years now. You taught me fandom etiquette by example when I was a baby fanged trash kitten. You’re an inspiration to me and many others in so many ways <333

Thank you @lousysharkbutt, I love your style, and the transparent

side panels definitely add a little extra pizzaz! You are in fact a magnificent shark butt, and a pleasure to work with in the commissioner-artist relationship. I encourage anyone to commission this artist!

Dearest Lestat, I’m Remington. It’s a pleasure to message you. I turned 23 today (December 29th) and I was hoping if I could please have a shout out from you?

♛Bon anniversaire, mon chéri! You have been so loyal and caring to me for so long… what a sweetheart, it means so much to me. I hope you celebrate your life well, with your loved ones, and fall asleep satisfied and exhausted from it all *blows a kiss*

Man, you have to like, stop living in New Orleans. I searched the weather there out of curiosity and holy shit, it’s so humid and hot, like I actually wanna know how did Lou manage to set on fire so many things with that much humidity. I get the whole cultural background thing and it’s really pretty, but dude, pls. You have curly hair. And don’t come to me with any vampiric shit, humidity and curly/wavy hair DON’T MIX. Also, have a happy birthday, stay away from the candles.

♠(Louis) Mais, oui, fire burns even in humid places. Where there’s a will, there’s a way, as they say. Lestat thanks you for the birthday wishes, by the way, and we did have candles, and no one was injured. It’s insulting that people have this perception that I burn things accidentally, believe me, it’s almost never an accident. Or perhaps they are aware that’s it’s done on purpose…

It isn’t humid here year-round, but yes, we love the heat, we love the flora and fauna that love the heat, many things are different, more sultry, in the dead heat of summer. Although I do visit other places, I wouldn’t trade New Orleans as my true home for anywhere else on earth.

 As for my hair and the humidity, well, even as a mortal my hair was not very affected by the elements, and it isn’t now. My sister and mother on the other hand, they were always at war with the damp air during the summer months. It was a source of great amusement for my brother and I.

Happy belated birthday, dear Prince of Night. Planning any decadent slaughter for your big night?

♛Merci, visage gris. There absolutely was fun and decadence on my birthday evening, you know I can’t help but put the “laughter” in “slaughter.”

Bonjour, Lestat! J’espère que tu as un anniversaire magnifique! ❤️ Donne une bisous á Louis ce soir, cela te ferait du bien! 😍

♛ Merci beaucoup… and yes, I can give Louis plenty of kisses at your request, he deserves them!

Happy birthday to our beautiful vampire! Hope Louis was so kind and made you delicious cake with lot of candles!

♛Thank you, I am beautiful, aren’t I? Well, we don’t eat cake, you might say we’re gluten-intolerant *smiles* There were candles but he was supervised with them…. I mean, do you want an idea of what I have to deal with? Imagine waking up to this in your yard:

Happy birthday, you glorious, magnificent king of the night! Hope Louis doesn’t get too carried away with lighting the birthday candles… anyway, have a wonderful day/night, darling! <3

♛Merciiiii, glorious and magnificent, oui, but king of the night? There’s Jareth the Goblin King, but he is in another realm, after all… and anyway I’m sure he’d share his throne with me *smirks*

Louis was supervised with the candles…

Happy birthday, Monseuir Lestat! Best wishes and I hope Louis doesn’t get a hold of the birthday candles! :D

♛Thank you! Yes, I have already learned my lesson about Louis and fire… Had to be taught more than once, but it finally got through to me. He has to be supervised with all forms of candles.

My dear Prince, I hope that these lame trolls don’t dampen your enthusiasm for your birthday! Don’t listen to them, we ALL love you unconditionally. How are you going to celebrate it? I’m so curious! Happy birthday and much love from Italy! ★★★♥♥♥

♛Grazie mio caro, I’ve had to deal with far worse trolls in reality, but these internet creatures are a different breed altogether… I’m sure they taste terrible, of basement mold, insects, dusty fedora hats, unwashed skin, hair, and clothing… *shudders* I’d rather eat rats. Rats can’t really help being so repugnant.

But anyway, yes, my birthday was celebrated to perfection, I may have to share the details of it with you all…  we’ll see.

Bonne anniversaire, mon Prince. Je te souhaite une nuit de rêve. Or as they say here in the homeland: La multi ani!

Ce fut une nuit merveilleuse, et je suis chanceux d’avoir tous tant de gens qui me aiment!

Many thanks for your warm wishes ❤
