@i-want-my-iwtv requested Louis and Lestat dancing

#HIGHEST PRAISE

I adore this. ADORE.

Do you love Louis?

♛Do I give off the impression that I don’t?

Normally this would offend me but you caught me in a more or less contemplative mood. Lucky for you. 

– Hold on. It does offend me. 

Yes, I love Louis. I fucking adore him. I worship him. I’m not ashamed to admit it. I have also: despised him, wanted to scream at him until his hands rise up to hide his tears, wanted to beat him to a quivering bloody pulp. Satisfied? 

Obviously there was life, well, existence, before Louis. I functioned. I loved. As you probably know already, when I found him, he was trying desperately to drown himself, trying to weaken himself physically, so that someone could more easily take his life… his soul spoke to me before he even saw me, he simply couldn’t kill himself, his passion for life matched my own. I was captivated. He still captivates me.

The fact that we’ve found peace in each other’s arms for so many years is all the more valuable considering the battles we’ve fought against others, time, the world, and (really, most importantly) each other. We still fight – with words mostly now, and it can be vicious. But underneath it all is an undeniable need for each other (not only physical) that overrides… well… everything else.

I think in the last analysis, his happiness is my happiness, and vice versa. 

I would like a drawing of Louis lestat Armand and Claudia as a request.. That too much?

Too much? Well, no, that’s not too much! BUT that isn’t very specific! Fanartists need a scene idea or some kind of suggestion, like all four of those characters “playing Monopoly” or something.

You might be satisfied with fanart that is already out there. Here are my fanart tags (tho some non-VC may be mixed into these tags OH WELL):

  • #fanart: for lots of fanart! It’s my public fanart collection, the reason for this blog’s creation, and you’ll find lots of all four of those characters, separately and in some combination with eachother. 
  • #Cute Armand: Cute Armand.
  • #fave: posts I don’t want to lose in the 2+ year collection that is this blog bc I still enjoy them immensely. 
  • #one happy family: Lestat/Louis/Claudia together.
  • #HIGHEST PRAISE: the TOP shelf stuff, according to me. It was a recent tag idea. I still have to comb through my whole blog and add this tag to my ultimate faves, so fanartists/writers shouldn’t worry if they’re not in there, bc they may just need to be added when I get a chance ;]

However, if you really want all four of those characters together, if I recall correctly, the only time in canon that Louis, Lestat, Armand and Claudia are physically together is during the trial of Louis and Claudia under the Theatre des Vampires. There’s great artwork of that scene in the graphic novel of IWTV from Claudia’s POV: Claudia’s Story

This excellent fanart is the only one I’ve seen that captures all four in a canon scene, and it’s from that trial:

May I ask for a fan art request

You may ask! I’ll publish the ask, so that a fanartist might see it. I can’t promise the request will be filled. 

I draw but… I’m so critical of my own work (when it’s meant to look GOOD) that I usually don’t post it. Only silly things like this get posted:

Another way to make a fan art request is by commissioning an artist (paying them for their artwork). I have a tag for #commissions, they open occasionally, write to a fanartist and maybe they will take the commission!
