Request for Mickey Mouse hats on Armand, Daniel, Eli and Oskar! Lestat has received a postcard from the group and seeing Armand so entirely domesticated has him almost in tears.

NICKI

superhiki:

Send me a character and I’ll tell you:

favorite thing about them:
His despair. His tragedy. I know it’s not for everyone but it is ABSOLUTELY for me. His desire to do things with the intent of perfectly harming other’s plans and hurting himself in the process. That he cuts off his nose to spite his face, I love that. It’s the way someone who so completely hates themselves that they hate life itself behaves. I love it. LOVE IT. He encapsulates one of my favorite elements of early VC: That people do what is wrong because they want to feel in control of something. That said, I utterly despise this in real life, HAHAHA. 

least favorite thing about them:
Perhaps that he was so brief? But in a way I’m glad he didn’t get any redemption. It’s not exactly easy to come back from that.
 
favorite line:
OH BOY…

“All a misunderstanding, my love,” he said. Acid on the tongue. The blood sweat had broken out again, and his eyes glistened as if they were wet. “It was to hurt others, don’t you see, the violin playing, to anger them, to secure for me an island where they could not rule. They would watch my ruin, unable to do anything about it.”

During this part I was publically weeping. HAHAH!

brOTP
I don’t have one. You’re hot and cold with Nicki. Maybe Santiago was his fledgling and they got along great. 

OTP
Lestat, Armand. 

nOTP
I don’t have those really. 

random headcanon
When he laughs it begins with the soft clicking of his palette like water dripping on damp wood. The back of the throat. He only breathes in as a vampire to shriek and has otherwise abandoned human habit. 

unpopular opinion
Idk, that I like him in a way that reminds me of the worst part of illness. Hell, the better I feel in life the more I love him for that snapshot of terrible times. Reminds me of the storm before a rainbow. Allows for contemplation of darker feelings. 

song i associate with them

Ysaye Violin Solo Sonata, Op. 27, No. 3, “Ballade”

https://youtu.be/5aPd5bvyQh8

When he got his violin back after turning this was the song that came to mind as I read… 

Mayumi Kanagawa’s performance is HEADS AND SHOULDERS above any other rendition of this song I’ve heard to date and it was THIS specific performance and the memory of its sound that gave me goosebumps reading. 

favorite picture of them
For SURE Victoria Fraces’ illustration of him, how haunting!!

^^^All this! 

He encapsulates one of my favorite elements of early VC: That people do what is wrong because they want to feel in control of something.

^Yes, ouch. So true.

Summary:

Venice, 1982.
The air above the Grand Canal grows electric as two breeds of blood drinkers meet. Rare enough as it is for any one of their kinds to meet, Elias and Armand must come to terms with the other’s existence and decide whether allowing it to continue won’t be a mistake.

Can what they have in common bridge the ocean between their immortal experiences? Will their treatment of mortal, and once mortal, companions lead to a clashing of principals that evokes Armand’s darkest creeds? Will Daniel ever get his fucking Atari back now that these brats want to play with it all the time?

ELI AND OSKAR… Oh my god what can I say except I want them to be happy together forever. ;  ; 

Eli is given the ability to fly with strange membrane wings- but those wings are never discussed further in the book than when a passerby notices Eli take flight and has to duck. Much like Eli’s toes, which grow long for claws, I imagined bat wings and long fingers to be the solution here.

ANYWAY. I imagine Eli is being sneaky and swoops down after a hunt for a hug.  

This was a 3 hour piece. 1 hour sketch and 2 hours rendering.

superhiki:

Armand is the gateway drug into VC. People watch the movie, they see art of the mysterious red head, and then they ask the person closest to them with a hook up into VC just who this ‘Armand fellow’ is. 

Pretty sure three people have asked me this exact thing and I’m always trying to caution them about the book lengths and the nitty gritty messy of it all but 

Much like any other fun drug

I’m secretly hoping they get just as hooked as me so we can ride that high together.
