Table of the Elements in an Irregular Spiral. 1940s.

"Rainbow-colored periodic table of the elements designed in the style of an irregular spiral. Per text accompanying the table, the colors and construction of the table are designed to express the relationship among elements in terms of the repetition of certain chemical properties, with elements whose chemistry is almost identical grouped together in blocks or connected by solid arrows. Additionally, all related elements are represented with different shades of the same color."

It's crazy how people talk about loumand like they hate each other and have never once looked at each other with anything resembling lust, like two nuns at a silent covent. Buddy louis has had bed death with his husband, and that husband wasn't armand lemme tell you that!

#like out of the 30 years loustat was canonically together in the show.#louis literally says they were only having sex for like 13 years at most!!!#from 1911 to when claudia kills charlie so about 1923 then that weird ass coercive sex from 1937 to 1940 when lestat gets murked #they was not fuckin fr!#meanwhile loumand fucked in front of daniel on two separate occasions. had a crazyinsane psychosexual rp for 7 episodes #and people say theyre experiencing bed death. who died? not blasia!#people just dont wanna see blasia winning over halfrica cus then theyd have to care about people of color fr #instead of projecting onto and woobyfying lestat #iwtv #interview with the vampire #louis de pointe du lac #amc iwtv #iwtv 2022 #armand iwtv #armand #ldpdl #lestat de lioncourt #loumand #i did the math and technically loustat had sex for around 15 years but i cant edit my other tag #i also forgot the bed death and affair in 1916-1917 so i was close but no cigar #all that to say loustat werent real fuckers.#and i love loustat. they just werent real fuckers

part 2 of my hazbin redesigns: the spider

part 1

#hazbin redesign #sage doodles #my art #angel dust #uhhhh idk what to tag #bothers me how his original design uses the same colors for his skin tone and his clothing what happened to value contrast #also made him pink to reflect his jumping spider inspo more and to differentiate his skin tone from charlie’s #inspo was 1940’s drag era and the mobster era and flappers
