How long did it take for Lestat to start walking as a child?

viaticumforthemarquise:

Oh, Mon Dieu. That child was a terror. He was mobile by approximately four months, a terrifying three months before any of his brothers had been, rolling and crawling as quickly as he could propel himself to do so. 

By six months he was walking and was causing trouble as one could not believe, opening and falling into cupboards, climbing up into trunks (and vanishing until we could find his location via his tearful cries later), and finding his way into every mess and mud puddle and body of water he could locate. 

Keeping him alive was a heroic effort in itself.

Hi!

This is for @remarried who asked for something with Daniel and Armand and not sad 🙂 I think this was a mission accomplished!

From: @eliestela

AAAAAAAH THIS IS SO GREAT CHRISTMAS SWEATERS I love Armand’s esp. omfg 

I know it’s hard to not do angst with Daniel and Armand (ha, I’ve tried) but I definitely say mission accomplished bc I yelled and grinned so big I hurt my face ;D

I love your designs for them and the details: I’m a sucker for glasses!Daniel (ty) and the scarf motif is great. both of them being wrapped in it but Armand’s portion tightly coiled, Daniel’s loose. 

It’s so hard to do merry things for Christmas in general without it being cheesy (especially with these knuckleheads) but this is sweet and funny without veering that way at all. ❤ ❤ ❤ I LOVE IT SO MUCH

 THANK YOU!!! 😀

Once a little boy sent me a charming card with a little drawing on it. I loved it. I answer all my children’s letters — sometimes very hastily — but this one I lingered over. I sent him a card and I drew a picture of a Wild Thing on it. I wrote, ‘Dear Jim: I loved your card.’ Then I got a letter back from his mother and she said, ‘Jim loved your card so much he ate it.’ That to me was one of the highest compliments I’ve ever received. He didn’t care that it was an original Maurice Sendak drawing or anything. He saw it, he loved it, he ate it.
