♛Well hello, fresh blood… how lovely to gain such an avid fan so quickly, it’s as if you merely opened the door and fell at my feet *smiles* I could get used to this level of adoration.
You all know my name. It’s an acceptable way to get my attention, at least at first, but I also love terms of endearment… see if you’re inspired to make me a new one *winks*
There are a number of spooky tales from Louisiana, but one of the most enthralling is that of Manchac Swamp. First of all, Manchac is rumored to be haunted. It’s also rumoured to be the haunt of Rougarou, the Cajun werewolf. As well as that, it’s said to be haunted by Julia Brown, a once practicing voodoo priestess, who put a curse on the entire town the day she died. Legend says that on the day of her funeral in 1915, a deadly hurricane ripped through the town, destroying three villages and killing a number of people. A number of curious visitors to the swamp have reported hearing shrill screams from a disembodied woman.
^This could be the swamp from IWTV! It’s in Louisiana, it stretches to Lake
Pontchartrain.
“Claudia had wrapped Lestat’s body in a sheet before I would even touch it, and then, to my horror, she had sprinkled it over with the long-stemmed chrysanthemums. So it had a sweet, funereal smell as I lifted it last of all from the carriage. It was almost weightless, as limp as something made of knots and cords… I went deeper and deeper in with Lestat’s remains, though why, I did not know. And finally, when I could barely see the pale space of the road and the sky which was coming dangerously close to dawn, I let his body slip down out of my arms into the water. I stood there shaken, looking at the amorphous form of the white sheet beneath the slimy surface. The numbness which had protected me since the carriage left the Rue Royale threatened to lift and leave me flayed suddenly, staring, thinking: This is Lestat. This is all of transformation and mystery, dead, gone into eternal darkness.” – Louis de Pointe du Lac, Interview with the Vampire
OMG THIS IS A GREAT FIND bc ok, I had to dig around looking for vampiry stuff in their blog, and what do I find?They reblogged one of my video parodies yes but more importantly, they are the fanartist behind this:
hmmm my guess is lestats naked dancing to that song “im to sexy for my shirt” XDD
^This is one of my all-time fave fanarts of Louis bc just look at his expression! Perfectly in character, exasperated but still has the energy to fight. Look how well-drawn he is! I had found this on DA [Louis de Pointe du Lac sketch by SpadeRabbit66] way before I had a tumblr, back when all I had was a personal collection. It was a fave then, too.
ANYWAY it’s great to find DA ppl on tumblr so that their art can be properly reblogged from them directly instead of just reposting w/ credit, which I’m doing here bc I’m using it as a sample of their work, I’ll reblog from their original post separately, too. We need to convince this artist to draw more VC… *u*
