Ellen Tracy as Lady Macbeth by John Singer Sargent, and fanart by Anna Bernal (she also has a blog here)
This painting always reminds me of the Queen of the Damned:
… I saw them in the thickening gloom-the two of them, their red hair catching the hazy glow of the fire; the one holding the bloody brain in her mud-covered fingers, and the other, the dripping heart. … Mekare lifted the brain to her mouth; Maharet put the heart in her other hand; Mekare took them both into herself.
And the twins turned around and stood up now, Maharet’s arm around Mekare. And Mekare stared forward, expressionless, uncomprehending, the living statue; and Maharet said:
“Behold. The The Queen Of The Damned.”
There is an enormous difference between Mekare and Lady MacBeth, obviously. But still. Look at the passion in Lady MacBeth’s eyes… She already knows that the means of obtaining this crown were absolutely poisonously wrong, the crippling guilt is setting in, but she’s still consumed with the desire for it all the same.
Whereas, Maharet, together with Mekare, must destroy & replace the mad Akasha, the original Queen of the Damned. Looking at this painting, it seems more that the woman (I guess this would be Mekare) is horror-stricken at having to take on such a burden, but she’s willing to make the sacrifice it requires for the good of the coven, and, the world.
Also I love the fanart by Anna Bernal, so I threw that in for comparison. She reads more as Jesse Reeves to me.
Michelangelo
Vampire flesh is often compared to marble…
Those Who Must Be Kept: (from the Vampire Lestat):
They were as severe as all the Egyptian statues I had ever seen, spare of detail, … I had seen saints in Italian churches dressed in this manner, velvet hung on marble, and it was not always pleasing…
…I stared at them a moment longer, … at the fingernails, which looked remarkably like our fingernails – as if someone had made them of inlaid glass.
I thought that I could touch the back of the man’s hand, and it wouldn’t seem so sacrilegious…
It couldn’t be stone I was feeling. It couldn’t … Why, it felt exactly like … And the woman’s eyes, something –
“They’re alive!” I said. “They aren’t statues! They’re vampires just like us!”
“Yes,” Marius said. “That word, however, they wouldn’t know.”
Please do!
- Basically Denis came into the theatre a year prior to Louis and Claudia arriving there
- Armand stumbled upon Denis on the streets, an orphan whose mind held macabre images of his untold past
That shit intrigued Armand, and made him wonder if this kid could work well then in a vampire infested environment…where there’s bound to lots of blood
- Denis was absolutely devoted to Armand, who saw him as a savior
- Armand tried to pull a very similar relationship between Denis and him as he had with Marius and himself…except he played role of the Master now, and Denis was his dutiful acolyte
- He gave Denis a ring as a means to mark his territory (much like the locket he gave Daniel)
- He still has it to this day
- He hoped to find an escape in Denis in that he was “caged” just as this mortal boy was at the Theatre
- Denis always tried to please Armand
- Armand’s interest waned when Armand found that Denis began to lust after him in a pretty masochistic manner for his “love”
- Santiago absolutely abhorred Denis in that he captured Armand’s attention more still than that of HIS of the theatre’s
- He killed him gently…without pain or suffering
- He did it the night Louis turned Madeleine, because he knew Louis would be the one to take him away from Paris (also he “in lahv” with his beautiful butt so)
- Once Daniel found that ring
- Armand still claims he doesn’t know why he’s kept it after all this time
