VAMPIRE CHRONICLES WORK DOODLES. Something to do when I don’t feel like talking during lunch lol.
1. Armand and Daniel with morning coffee.
2. Sybelle and Armand (lil papa Armand)
3. Louis, concerned.
4. Lestat with a puppy, inspired by the adorable puppy drabble by @monstersinthecosmos
5. Armand taking Louis on a flight.
6. What we’ve all been waiting for. Armand and Lestat finally bury the hatchet.
Birthday Armand for resident cool kid @theraphaellus!!
Their request was too cute to pass up… Armand in a Moomins shirt ❤
Dearest @sheepskeleton, I thought that you might get a kick out of this. This is me, in Vienna, wearing your Armand shirt, about to watch a musical about Vivaldi, a redhead from Venice who was forced into priesthood when all he wanted to do was make art, starring Drew Sarich, who played Armand on Broadway. xD I had a pretty good day! ❤
re: OMG this is amazing and I am SO getting a kick out of it! ❤ thank you for sharing! ❤
[my redbubble shop, if anyone wants this shirt or anything else]
Someone who’s a graphic designer help me.
Anyway, here is a fake tourist shirt graphic for the goofiest hangout in all of The Vampire Chronicles, Daniel and Armand’s home, Night Island.
Edit: There is only one of these and Daniel made it for himself to be a pest.
So I’ve read books 1-3, but tbh I really don’t want to read body thief and I heard Memnoch isn’t very good. BUT I am a huge slut for Armand so can I read TVA now? Will I understand the context of stuff? I kinda already know about the coma thing but if you could write anything I need to know under the cut for spoilers that would be really great. I know it’s mostly Armand and Marius but is there Armand and Daniel in it too? I just don’t want to read about lestats body swap adventure or the devil.
Sure, skip over to TVA! No probs on that. Don’t suffer through the body swap episode or the Bible/VC crossover if you don’t want to! Life’s too short.

We’re all selective as to what canon we’re willing to accept anyway so even those who have read TOBT and/or MTD don’t necessarily accept one or both as canon. Some ppl insist that everything published is canon. But here’s the thing, there’s “the two crossover novels Blackwood Farm and Blood Canticle, which Rice herself has now disavowed,” (X @sanguinivora) so like, even AR doesn’t demand that we accept everything as canon. At least that’s my own take on it.
TOBT: No spoilers. I don’t think Armand or Daniel are even mentioned in TOBT (I don’t have a copy nearby to check). But in their absence, it would appear that they were either A) unaware of what was happening w/ Lestat, or B) unwilling to help him. I don’t remember that ever being really developed, but Lestat does mention sometimes how it seemed like no one was WILLING to help, that they all were aware and left him to fend for himself.
HUGE SPOILER IN MTD under the cut, you have been warned.
MTD has alot of baggage bc there were those negative reviews that came out about it, and tbh I didn’t read them bc there was an avalanche of them, so I don’t know if any of them were fair or not, but I remember that AR made alot of fiery public response about it (to put it lightly) and was using her FB POTP army against any critical reviewers, it was a dark time, so that may have soured the fandom on that book a lot.
MTD was published in 1995 and it was supposed to be the LAST book in the series. 3 years later we got The Vampire Armand, because…………….
*****HUGE SPOILER*****
*****YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED*****
At the end of MTD, Armand believes that Lestat really went to Heaven and Hell when shown a particular piece of evidence, and Armand chooses to go out into the sunlight, and die:
“I will bear witness. I will stand here with my arms outstretched,” [Armand] cried, “and when
the sun rises, my death shall confirm the miracle.”
Apparently that caused such an uproar that fans were showing up to MTD booksignings wearing homemade “Armand Lives” t-shirts, and AR acquiesced and brought him back! Here’s one I designed wayyy after the fact, like two months ago:
Been rereading The Vampire Chronicles lately, and had a sudden urge to sketch this arrogant bastard XP
i really want an “armand lives” t-shirt now
this picture of anne rice at a book signing in the 90s feels reeeeally important
OKAY EXCUSE ME GUYS, ANNE RICE RIGHT NOW ON HER LIVESTREAM WAS TALKING ABOUT HOW SHE REGRETTED KILLING ARMAND AND SHE WAS AT A MEMNOCH SIGNING AND THE FANS HAD “ARMAND LIVES” SHIRTS AND MADE HER REALIZE SHE MADE A TERRIBLE MISTAKE.
I MEAN. IS THAT WHAT THIS PICTURE IS. I THINK IT IS.
HAHAHAHA i love this fucking fandom oh my God. I WISH I could have been there for that
I-want-my-IWTV
