Just love this SO MUCH. By Florbe91.deviantart.com. From Tale of the Body Thief, by Anne Rice (DUH, do I post anything ELSE EVER??!!)
Do you think Louis would/could have refused Lestat forever?
This particular fanart is one of my absolute all-time favorites. The expression florbe achieves here is so strong, the staging of the frames, the subtlety of the colors is perfection, the whole thing tears at your heartstrings almost more than the scene in the book does! I’d love to buy a whole graphic novel in this style ❤
So I had posted this a million (three) years ago, back before this blog was this blog, back when it was “mannimations,” and that was before I knew how to link things in a nice way, but more relevant than belitting my former lack of etiquette is that at that time, this image was hosted on florbe91’s deviantart page.
Since then, she has taken it down, and many other of her VC fanarts, for her own reasons. There are a few still there if you look for them, a fraction of what had been posted. She took the rest down for her own reasons, none of which were bc of AR.
The primary reason I’m writing this now and reblogging smtg that she took down, against my own policy, is to let you know why I try not to reblog her VC fanart* when I see it on my dash currently. As much as I absolutely adore it, I respect her choice not to share it.
Secondly, when you see fanart that you adore, download it! Keep it for your own private records. Artists can remove things at any time, and there may not be any warning. I’m an artist, and I have removed posts from here.
*The exception to my rule is if the fanart in question is publicly available (at the time of reblogging) on her deviantart or tumblr, in which case it seems to be okay to share, or in this case where I’m making a general note.
A Lestat and Louis doll by an unknown designer, posted here. They appear to be ball jointed dolls.
These are gorgeous and this is the VC merch we deserve.
^This Lestat doll was posted to AR’s FB page in response to her request for doll suggestions, but she hasn’t liked or commented on it as of this posting.
That Dj Dead Space was wearing Dead Space space suit.
P.S.: Congrats to all those who can read that text…
I don’t know if you are the one to ask but do you know if there are any ff of Lestat, Louis (and possibly the rest) reading ff about themselves? Because it would bee too meta and I love meta. Who should I ask if not you?
Ahhh… that is a tough one! They definitely like the fanart of themselves.
[^X Digging up an oldie from the archive which I have tidied up a little for ya and I would just like to mention that the above was screencapped from the ACTUAL TV screen so there is interlacing and whatever I don’t care it adds to the charm, oui/oui? but HEY it motivated me to improve my graphic skills for y’all and I DID]
The only writer that immediately comes to mind is our very own fandom treasure @gairid, who has a Through the 4th Wall, Darkly series which does something in the vein (pun intended hehehe) of what you’re looking for, feels meta. It’s mostly the characters discussing Lestat’s ghostwriter: “Really, Lestat, you need to have a talk with her. It’s getting out of hand. What sort of biographer makes everything up without the slightest regard to the truth?” *giggles*
Gonna open this up to the group and ask anyone to reblog or comment on this post if they know of fic that does this!
Cut for length.
There is another current writer I know of who does more of what you’re looking for on a regular basis BUT she doesn’t post publicly ;A; I will try to nudge her onto AO3 in your honor ;] To be honest, the interaction of the VC characters w/ fanfic of themselves is usually described as their being amused and/or creeped out, as most ppl who find out about RPF of themselves seem to be.
Lestat would be hella flattered and in fact…. he has written really shmoopy fluff of himself and Louis, which he has not-so-subtly tried to get Louis to read. Louis reads it and makes grammatical corrections and hands it back. Secretly, he’s very touched.
Louis loves the fanart but is mildly creeped out by the fandom’s fanfic of himself, partly bc he thinks the writers spend too much time glorifying his appearance, and/or he’s written out of character.
Louis: “Why do they all think I’m sunk in this, this deep depression all the time? I… do things… I go out.”
Lestat: “How much of the evening do you spend outside if I don’t drag you out?”
Louis: “Well, I have to go out to feed.”
Lestat: “And that takes, what, 30 or 40 minutes?”
Louis: “Yes, about.”
Lestat: “So you go out, on average, 35 minutes a night.”
Louis: “Depression is not defined by the lack of amount of time spent outside!”
Lestat: –
Louis: –
Lestat: –
Louis: “Shut up.”
You ever just look at someone and think…shut up….even if they haven’t said anything yet. [X]
#shut up louis
^I am cry, just wanted to explain my lack of communication this past week, and what a week to be forced AWOL. The very week we’re hit w/ such massive news and I couldn’t be there for you! I’ve abandoned my ppl!
I’m making my way back to you, and will get to my inbox “asap as possible” (as Michael Scott would say, hehehe).
In the meantime, my forced absence resulted in a short post-PL fic {Bad Connection} which was beta’d by @cloudsinvenice and @gairid, it has Daniel in it, so there’s that.
Explanation for my absence under the cut.
Last week, some images weren’t loading for me on ppl’s pages and archives (including my own, which I had initially assumed was the weird layout revert that tumblr had done to my blog and others; or an xkit malfunction), so after a little investigation, seems like my place of work has upped their blocking parameters *ugly cries* Welp, I thought, guess I’ll have to limit my tumbling to outside of work.
^Can’t do that, I was just sitting there on the sidelines watching all the stuff happen on my dash on my phone this week and just… by the time I get home I’m often too tired to do any more computering so… Listen, I am a sinner plz let me sin it is important for my productivity to be able to sin simultaneously.
So for the time being, I’m going to try to deal with this limited tumbling until my place of work ups their blocking parameters further. We’ll burn that bridge when we come to it (as Louis would say, hehehe).
