tfw 666 unfinished vc related art pieces but cant finish them bc own art looks always Hella Bad™ and im scared to publish them anyway haha
Dude it’s not about the art quality! Don’t do it for the notes. Do it for yourself. You might be being too hard on yourself, you may find your style not as “good” as someone else’s but that doesn’t make it Hella Bad™! It’s Hella Yours.
As with all the arts, like writing, music, drawing, etc., we all have to start at a place of less skill than we can earn over time. For me, humor can supersede technical ability. Applying humor and choosing the right expressions can be just as difficult as the technical ability, and to my taste, can be better than a really pretty portrait.
This is not the best drawing but it’s totes lolworthy:

Ppl might not Like/Reblog your stuff but it’s always great to see someone’s archive and see how they’ve improved over time.
Claudia probably had to practice for years to draw so well, and that should have been a clue to her dads that she was much older inside than she looked, bc few children would be able to draw this skillfull, especially w/o a live model in front of them well she had a dead one but she wasn’t looking at it:

So keep drawing! And share if you want.

Dear Lestat, I didn’t mean to offend you. It was inappropriate of me to behave thusly – I have been known to burn myself when playing with fire. That being said, I admire you for your wit and cleverness and devilish good looks, and I shan’t bother you again. You don’t have to answer this one, I just wanted you to know. And now I bid you goodnight, sweet prince. Sincerely, Helena.
//ooc; It’s okay, no offense taken, he just didn’t want to address all the points in your message, he’s not going to spend his time bickering over pseudonyms. Lestat RPers vary in their portrayal of the character, this Lestat is not a perfect warm and loving cinnamon roll to everyone and he takes jabs right in the middle of being warm and loving. It’s part of his charm. If he’s teasing you, especially about your name, when he comes up with such terrible aliases for himself, it means he’s feeling more comfortable around you, because he doesn’t do that with people he openly dislikes.

Well, Anne wished me a happy birthday. And I talked to Chris a bit more he asked where I was from, and those kinds of things! :D
Sounds like an excellent interaction <3<3<3
Confession: When I first saw and later read IWTV, I didn’t think that Lestat and Louis were a couple. I understood they had a relationship that was complicated and deep on many levels, but I thought it was because of the whole turning into vampire and living together for many years thing, not romantical or sexual.
Well… your message sat in my inbox for 5 days bc this is a question every reader has to answer for themselves. It partly depends on how much canon you’ve read.
[^X “I love him in ways that I can’t explain to other people. They don’t understand… it’s not their fault.” is that not canon?!]
IWTV is Louis’ account of their time in that era, and as @vraik astutely pointed out, Louis admits that he’s holding back information when he says “If I held something too close for you to ask about it, I would not bring it up in the first place.” Lestat says as much near the end of TVL, that Louis left many things out. *~Unreliable narrators!~*
And movie!IWTV had even less of what Louis says in the book, because it had to be edited for the sake of time… many scenes in the book were not in the movie. Also, it was made in the early 90′s, keep in mind that it pushed the envelope for its time re: showing any homosexuality.
tl;dr: I ship Louis/Lestat, I don’t need to define my ship as romantic, sexual, or platonic, etc. I just hardcore ship them TOGETHER.
Hit the jump for more, cut for length.
While they don’t “date” in canon, Louis talks about Lestat in IWTV with a lot of fascination, and later, Lestat writes about Louis with a lot of fascination, too (more, really!)… and they don’t actually kiss in canon until the 3rd book, right before Lestat’s big concert, and then they’re separated again soon after. It’s a ship that takes alot of Read Between the Lines.
Most of the vampires who are turned in canon are turned bc their makers love them so much that they can’t let their loved one be perishable any longer. Whatever Louis’ perception was of IWTV!Lestat, it seems clear to many of the fandom that Lestat chose Louis for more than his wealth and/or friendship, and that now, in later canon, the feelings between them are mutual.
AR answered this in 2014 when she was answering #Fan Questions for Lestat, in which she RP’d Lestat admitting that Louis would be his “Forever Companion.”
There was an article out in 2012 that had some varied comments worth reading about it: Anne Rice confirms that the vampires Louis and Lestat are a same-sex couple with a child.
io9: There’s the concept of Louis and Lestat as Claudia’s “parents,” which we see in the novel, movie and now in the graphic novel. When you know the narrative, it’s not quite the modern statement it could appear to be visually, in the adaptation. Are you okay with that as an idea for the new century?
AR: Sure! [Laughs] Sure! I never thought of it, they were the first vampire same-sex parents.
io9: I had wondered if that had been a thought on your mind before.
AR: No.
io9: That’s the way that it seems to be shown, it’s very much “she’s our daughter now.” So I can say, they’re a same-sex couple with children?
AR: Absolutely! Claudia! She’s their daughter.
My additions to one of the comments is pretty funny and you should check it out bc hey, you’ve read this far so? KILL MORE TIME.
“I swear that woman called her children to her in this order; Edward, Jacob, Bella. I almost vomited.”
