That’s the original purpose -and still a major one- of my blog: to be a collection of inspiration to the fanartists in making more yummy fanworks to feeeeed the VC addiction of all of us adorable fanged little trash kittens ❤
College AUs are cool, but you know what we’re missing? Art major AUs:
“I cut myself really badly in Printmaking and I’m trying not to bleed everywhere, turns out you carry a bunch of first aid supplies in your bag” AU
“I let you have a few sheets of darkroom photo paper, to pay me back you offered to model privately for my Studio Photography assignment” AU
“I’m a traditional painter who has to take a basic Photoshop class, you’re a graphic design major sitting next to me and getting sucked into helping me out because I’m so terrible at this” AU
“My pottery bowl exploded in the kiln and I feel like a failure, you found me crying about it in the hallway” AU
“Our Figure Drawing teacher is an asshole, you stuck up for me when he started railing on my portraits” AU
“You saw me struggling to carry a giant cardboard sculpture for my installation and helped me get it to class” AU
“I’m zoning out working on this painting and you just stopped me from drinking out of my dirty water cup” AU
“A mutual friend of ours has this whole vision for their Black and White Photography final and we volunteered to be their models without knowing how sexual this shoot would turn out” AU
//One of my favorite things is idea of these vampires being on reality shows. Like just in general. But especially like ridiculous ones made up for them specifically. Like:
The Fledgling – 20 gorgeous young people compete to be Lestat de Lioncourt’s next fledgling by trying to win him over with one-on-one dates and their own charming personalities. Including a very special episode where Louis de Pointe du Lac gets to pick the people who get a date with Lestat. Hosted by Daniel Molloy. (Armand bribes the producers to let him into the editing bay and make an entire episode where Lestat rolls around on a bed complaining about the size of his feet and his other inadequacies.)
The Talamasca Files – Follow awkward, can’t-say-no-to-vampires Talamasca Agent Stirling Oliver, as he flagrantly breaks his organization’s #1 Rule (”Do not engage with Lestat!”) and investigates supernatural happenings in New Orleans. Special guest appearances by the Mayfairs.
The Real Vampires of Night Island – Immortality! Eternal youth! Constant drama! Watch vampires lead glamorous, picturesque lives as they navigate their way through a mortal world that hates them for their beauty and riches. Highest rated episode to date: “The Suit.” A red velvet riding jacket disappears from Lestat’s closet and he sets out to find the culprit. (Spoiler alert: it’s Marius. Spoiler alert: That’s all he’s wearing.)
I mean, you know, for example. It’s not like I’ve thought about this a lot…
Armand bribes the producers to let him into the editing bay and make an entire episode where Lestat rolls around on a bed complaining about the size of his feet:
“Seldom did I see my feet in black socks. I knew almost nothing personally about my feet. They looked rather small for the twenty-first century. Bad luck. But six feet was still a good height.”
Sometimes I look over my blog, all the haring off in different directions and different fandoms, and think, “Good lord, what a trash pile. I mean, it’s my trash pile and I love it, but.”
Other times I look at my collection of shiny things and think, “Yesssss, this is what the internet is for, welcome to my hoard.” like I’m a dragon curled up on my pile of gold.
^TRUTH. I feel this way too. WELCOME TO MY GOLDTRASH WHATEVER THIS IS.
♛”It’s a strange kind of hurt to think of her. We can’t help it when we see something she would have liked, so united for so many years on pleasing her, as we were. The sound of laughter from a little girl as it echoes down a street often draws us closer together, slipping our arms around eachother protectively.”
“We rarely mention her. So many things that we’ve been through, we have scars that can only be prodded at, not reopened.”
“David was almost meant to fit a similar role for us, but from his first night as one of us, I knew that could never be.”
“On the subject of people we feel close to… Are you aware of our dear 3rd wheel personal assistant, Brian? He rapidly became someone we both care for deeply, who knew we desperately needed his kindness, calm temperament, sharp wit, let alone the daytime help he was hired for! He’s one of those whose personality lights him from within, and we’re both drawn in. We’re mostly respectful in our interactions with him, it wouldn’t do to treat him like a pet. But I have always had trouble respecting boundaries with objects of my affection.” Laughs. (pssst he’s gairid‘s OC!)
“To answer your question, yes, I showed Claudia how to thread dandelions into a chain, which she improved into elaborate wreaths for our front door.”
“Louis was subjected many times to florally decorated plaits simply because his hair is longer than mine, and the darkness made a better backdrop for the blooms. Or so she said. More likely she just wanted the excuse to play with his hair.” he smirked, leaning back.
“After his ‘makeover,’ she would indulge him in a game of chess. She was one of the few who has ever been able to beat him, but I suspect he
purposely made mistakes when playing with her. He’s certainly never pulled any punches with ME at that game or many others.”
“Claudia not only made flower crowns, but she also made dresses for her dolls from the larger petals of hibiscus flowers. The last dress she ever wore was, according to Louis, one she had designed herself.”
“Some of the things Claudia enjoyed…”
“Drawing and painting, watercolors. She had a deft hand. I can still remember her style vividly in my mind, perhaps it’s for the best that those works did not survive the fire. I think Louis is relieved of it. After all, he chose not to save the art she made during their travels together. Too painful, perhaps. I don’t bring it up with him.”
“Her music lessons. Piano was her foremost interest, which I encouraged because it is the basis for all other instruments. Other instruments were more difficult for her small hands. I commissioned a flute maker to make one her size, which she tried, but soon lost interest because she simply became winded too quickly. I think that experience turned her away from any other woodwinds.”
“String instruments were usually too large for her, as well.”
