Found some old Antoine and Armand fanart from my 2015 sketchbook. This was after I read Prince Lestat, and Antoine’s story had me in tears. Legit thought Armand might kill him and found myself gripping the book and praying with each sentence that Armand will see how sweet Antoine is and would let him live ;; man the feels in that chapter!
Have you been hiding this from us since 2015…. I mean…. Good thing you’re so gd talented we forgive you anyway 😀

I’m sure we are all familiar with the scene where Lestat is speaking with Claudia and quips “I hope it’s a beautiful woman, with endowments you’ll never possess.” The line is often seen as Lestat being an absolute dick, and don’t get me wrong, he totally is here, but I think it also shows his fatherly side.
Maybe it’s just a case of my family being terrible (which I don’t think they are, usually at least), but things like that were said to me a lot growing up. That is, the “don’t grow up” part, not the “I have a murder victim in the next room” part. What I mean is that I think of this scene more in the sense of parents sensing their children are growing up, but they want to hold on to the illusion that the child is still young and in need of guidance and is completely reliant.
I think the line is really just one of Lestat’s many messed up ways of trying to say “I love you. Please don’t leave me.”
