Ok but lookit how hashtag aesthetic this WIP photo is
This is like the visual representation of an unfinished fanfic. You can see that it’s inspired by the original, which was the original artist’s interpretation of the depicted subject. The original artist made editorial choices in how to represent their subject, and this second artist is interpreting the interpretation with their own editing.
It’s a great way to climb into the mind of the original artist, absorbing some of their ideas, rejecting others, and an exercise in one’s own craft in that process.
Thanks Anne Rice
So I’m re-reading the Vampire Chronicles, and discovering all over again that I love the way Anne Rice depicts sexuality, attraction, and affection in her books, not just among vampires, but among humans as well.
People in platonic relationships never hesitate to say that they love each other, to show affection, to kiss.
Sexual orientation doesn’t seem to exist, really, especially with the undead. It seems that a century or two of immortality has rendered most of them indifferent in regards to gender.
I love the repeated narrative of “I hate you, but I haven’t seen you in a really long time, and I missed hating you in person, so come here and let me hug you and tell you how beautiful you are.” There is something very poignant in the way that they treasure the familiar.
Consent is super important in sexual situations in her books, and in simple social situations, and in regards to the giving and receiving of blood.
It’s recognized that people who have been made vampires without their consent are victims of trauma, even if they are men.
And just the expression of emotions in her characters, the men, the women, mortal and immortal love, hate, scream, laugh, openly weep without shame…you don’t see much of that in modern literature without idiots labeling it as “over sentimental.”
“Armand: Three Part Series – ‘What’s in a name?’
- Part 2 AND 3 – Amadeo vs Armand

What’s in a name? A lot when we’re talking about Armand from The Vampire Chronicles. In The Vampire Armand, Armand breaks down his life for you. However I like to break down his novel/life into 3 parts according to his given names:
- Andrei (Given by his Father: Ivan)
- Amadeo (Given to him by his Master: Marius)
- Armand (Given to him by his fellow Coven member aka Child Of Darkness: Allesandra)
Instead of rambling on here is a concise summary of Amadeo vs. Armand – click here. Thank you to @faceofabotticelliangel .
I just don’t think I could write anything that could do Armand justice after reading @faceofabotticelliangel ‘s post.
Enjoy the photo-set!
a person who pays one of my favorite artists to make louise/lestat porn is a person i wanna be friends with

^Armand Santino also appreciates such fine art in this category.
*hugs you real tight* would you please send this to the first ten people on your dash? Make sure someone gets a hug today, and stay safe <3
Oh my goodness 0.0 I’m the anon who asked for VC-esque recommendations, and boy did you deliver! Thank you, and annabellioncourt, so much for putting time into this amazing list!
YOU ARE SO WELCOME @annabellioncourt and I found the request intellectually stimulating ;D so satisfying to know that you were pleased w/ the effort on that Rec post (it took actual hours to draft and I still feel like I left things out)(oh well I will have a real *~snazzy~* rec page someday SOON hopefully)
I’m so glad I’ve met so many other fanged trash kittens who I can summon on topics I need their advice on. Actual footage of us discussing things:
Thank you for the wardrobe Drabble! I hadn’t seen this one before. I can just imagine lestat doing this for Louis. Omg thank you !
De rien! Glad that satisfied the request
♥u♥ Dressup sessions happen frequently, even in their own home, and whenever Lestat can drag Louis to the mall and they always have to visit a lingerie store. At least one.

Once again thank you very much.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Good to know that the effort was appreciated *hugs*
I guess I am unofficially taking drabble requests *o* whether I can fill them in a timely a manner like this, or at all, isn’t guaranteed, but hey, send it and I’ll consider it!
Easier prompts tho: words or holidays.
