A color version of my first fan art of Jacob Anderson. However, the glow effects make him look more like a modern day Louis de Pointe du Lac

things in IWTV season 2 i'd lose my mind if it actually happens (or when. because some of those things will happen.). sorry for the mistakes btw

1. Claudeleine romantic relationship

Claudia finally having a vampire lover she can be herself with. the romantic & sexual tension. the heart to heart Louis and Claudia would have before changing Madeleine. the yearning. the tragic ending. the change of dynamics in the De Pointe du Lac family. the disruption of it all.

2. an exploration of Armand's relationship to religion, faith and God

specially in 2022. past religious crisis. how he articulates his vampire nature, his faith and his despair. lots of hints of TVA. God and art. religion, Armand and Louis. his religion (conversion from being christian to being muslim in this universe? if so, why?). "i serve, a God," would you mind to develop?

3. dramatic irony about Daniel's past and Devil's Minion

the rent boy. Daniel actually realising he had been a dick about that. "oh." after understanding the irony of it all. Armand talking in riddles and hinting at something Daniel is totally ignorant of. young Daniel's life and messy, loving and weird relationship with Armand. some activism. 2022 Daniel getting old, sicker and sicker. laughs. angst. tension. yearning. longing stares. petty remarks. revelations.

4. Loumand complex relationship

the love and the suffering. how they are both deeply attached to each other. how they show their care. the place Lestat holds right in the middle. how they deal with Claudia's death. what Louis really thinks about it. the tension. the yearning. how their relationship actually developed. the extent of Louis' memory alteration and how it plays a role into their dynamics. the after: how Armand helped Louis. messy divorce vibes. petty moves. to what extent their relationship is doomed. how one person can love several persons and in different ways, and how complex and delicate it is.

5. The Groan™

what is that. a metaphor for sexual arousal? Lestat scratching the walls? Rashid trapped? some clues. what the fuck.

6. Antoinette alive and kicking

and coming back right on time for the trial, because it would be 1) so fucking funny 2) utterly tragic, considering Claudia would be killed for killing nobody.

7. amazing outfits

amazing outfits

8. lots of french

i'm french

9. Claudia and Armand's relationship

Claudia being protective of Louis. Armand dealing with it. some sort of bond rivalry. both of them aware that something's wrong with the other. Armand and Claudia's similarities being acknowledged (age, killing a human they loved — Charlie, Ricardo — and complex situation regarding their maker), even a possibility for some kind of understanding and compassion (making the end more tragic). Armand seeing a some of Lestat in Claudia. Claudia seeing Armand's love for Lestat. a common love for theater and spectacular shows. that awful experience before Claudia's death.

10. Louis and memories

the photos he takes (where are they in 2022? will they clash with Louis' tale?). the metatextual dimension of themes such as: unreliable narration, memories and perspective, autofiction. Daniel calling out Louis' avoiding strategies. Louis calling out Daniel's rudeness and biais. how Louis really sees his relationship with Claudia? the gap between Louis' and Armand's recalling. a deeper exploration of his superimposed identities (black, queer, american man; in 1940, 1973, 2022). learning how to trust someone new after being abused. the rain metaphors. Louis saying the most poetic and heartbreaking thing you'll ever heard. his relationship to vampirism as he joins Armand's coven. grief and loss of a family member. hallucinations and how they are filmed / manifesting. guilt. loving Claudia and Armand. loving Lestat, still. etc.

tysm for coming to my tedtalk. it was very self-indulgent but very much pleasant. i won't be mad if it doesn't happen (obviously!), or not like i imagine. still, it's fun to imagine and put that here on tumblr. no shame on lestat, i just have no special things i'm waiting for about him, and will be very happy indeed to see him again. salut

IWTV Trailer (me losing my freaking marbles - YOLO) Pt2

I'm just going frame by frame thru AMC'S BEAUTIFUL new IWTV trailer. But I had to split this into 2 parts cuz Tumblr won't let me post 30+ pics. 🙄

They transition from Louis telling Claudia "It's you and me," to BB!Dan being "disrespectful"--yelling at Louis wanting him to make him a vamp, like we heard in S01E01.

And they immediately cut to the clip we've seen before of Louis crying & being dragged off by some old dude (if that's a vampire I feel bad for him, LOL). This might be Claudia/Madeleine's execution, rather than the Trial itself, cuz Louis was wearing a different outfit. (And Claudia's wearing the YELLOW DRESS! Imma be sick! 😭)

So I wonder when the "best outfit" Jam Reiderson said Claudia wears is gonna take place--which I'm assuming is the red Flamenco dress from the posters.

It is SO incredible that we're actually gonna see The Trial, and LESTAT BEING THERE, and seeing Madeleine & Armand & Santiago.

It's interesting that they cut from Armand saying it wasn't SanFran where he failed Louis but Paris, and jump to hallucination!Lestat mocking Armand, yelling "HA!" Is Louis' outfit the same as the one where the old dude dragged him out crying? It kinda looks the same. So is Louis imagining Lestat being FURIOUS with Armand for what's about to happen to Claudia? I wonder why Les is in THAT suit, cuz it looks like the same one he wore in S1E03 the night he kicked Jelly Roll Morton out of town & ragged on Louis about not wanting to kill humans.

Good lord, here we go. #GoneTooSoonMadeleine. U_U And I LIKE THE IMAGERY of the joint/shared transformation, nodding to Claudia desperately wanting Louis to be her (blood) spouse, as they make Madeleine together.

Jfc Louis really did almost kill BB!Daniel. O_O He shattered all that plaster--that's brain damage for sure--no wonder he can't remember the interview, LOL. (I still think Armand used the Mind Gift to make him forget everything.)

A lot of paintings and canvases--art heist Armand?! Are we finally gonna see how he made all that money, going around stealing priceless treasures!? (You can see Armand's feet floating, LOL.) Or is the inside of that chateau his coven raided, "we own dominion!"?

Daniel asking Louis: "YOU BUY THAT?"

AMC thinks they're FUNNY! Cuz they cut right from Armand stealing art he didn't BUY, to lovebomber!Lestat laughing in the townhouse and Louis yelling in what looks like a train station? So he's freaking TF out in public (just like Paul).

Ooooo--then they have Lelio!WolfKiller!Lestat about to attack someone (Magnus? Nope, I double-checked it's Armand cuz ofc it is), looking like the freaking BEAST in his red cape--

--right before we get Lestat's POV of Louis and him fighting in Ep5.

Cuz yeah, Lestat had snapped, and was beating Louis like he was a DOG, like he wasn't even seeing a PERSON, let alone someone he was supposed to be protecting from vampires/monsters LIKE HIM--and OMFG Louis was in blue just like Belle was during the wolf attack--I hate this show.

And they immediately jump from Louis getting beat by Lestat to what I assume is Louis getting jumped by the Theatre--trapped in the coffin they were gonna bury him alive in.

What on earth is Claudia throwing? I swear I think these are bombed/blown-up body parts--pieces of someone's life gone cuz of the WAR. (And immediately cut to Loustat fighting.)

"Who are you, Louis? If there was no ME, if there was no HIM." So yes, the fan theory that Louis WANTS those pieces gone are correct. Or rather--Louis THOUGHT that having those pieces removed would help him. He thought he could recover the lost parts of himself if he wiped his mind of the painful memories. But something must've triggered him--likely finding Claudia's diaries after the 1970s--we are SOOOOO deep in Merrick territory. Cuz Louis wants those memories BACK now--with a vengeance.

*squints* Are they really GOING THERE with Lesmand!? O_O That's not Nickistat, right? Cuz the very next clip is Armand--using telekinesis on Louis (or Daniel?) WTF?!

And then we see the familiar clip of Armand using the Fire Gift when he first meets Louis. Just paralleling how much Armand openly flaunts his many gifts in front of Louis, while Lestat tried to hide everything he could do to not scare Louis away--until Ep5 ofc.

Doomed "happy" "family." YELLOW DRESS ALERT ☝️. The calm b4 ish hits the fan. They immediately cut to Claudia being "welcomed" by the Theatre and Santiago zooming thru the tunnel--

--DEATH to all of them! "F**k these vampires"--Claudia never lied!

Louis, you are just too dang pretty--GTFO off my dang screen. 😍

Another YELLOW dress--these images are cursed.

Loustat reunion at the Trial, if that's the same outfit Lestat wore here.

Give him hell, Armand! 😈 He wanted to be the Devil's Minion so bad--here you go! Look at all that glass shattering around him; no wonder Daniel's scared for his life, LOL! (If this is actually Louis throwing a fit I will DIE.)

Louis finna GO OFF on this BUFFOON! So THAT'S why Armand was mad! XD Louis (or Claudia?) was about to rip Santiago's whole jaw off! XDDDD

The sound of Louis just crying has me in a STATE. AMC is doing something SO freaking different from the film & the books. Louis is actively trying to make sense of things, as we see this poor man just suffering with PTSD and mental illness; with no one to HELP him but some crotchety old man who borderline hates him, and an old AF vampire who'd loves him so much that he'd rather have Louis forget everything cuz ignorance is bliss. 😩

Louis WANTS to remember everything. Armand does NOT want the interview. And Daniel is scared.

Holy freaking goodness, what an incredible trailer. 👏 May 12th can't get here fast enough!

[licncourt]

could you give us some spoilers for who armand is? i've seen him talked about a lot by people who have read the books and he seems important

Yeah, sure! Under the cut for spoilers! And an obvious disclaimer that he'll probably be at least somewhat different when he appears in the show, this is just the book version of him.

I really love this art for anyone who wants a visual!

So, quick and dirty backstory: Armand is a Ukrainian-born vampire from early 15th century Kievan Rus'. He was turned at 17 by the ancient vampire Marius and is described as being cherbic looking and somewhat short with amber eyes and wavy, auburn hair to his shoulders.

He was kidnapped from his homeland at 12, but rescued by Marius and brought to Venice where he was raised in something of a boy's school before being kidnapped by a Satanic vampire cult and brought to Paris. He's Armand, so he eventually becomes their leader.

He's crudely "cult deprogrammed" by Lestat in the late 18th century and ends up the leader of a coven of vampires who run a theater in Paris. When Louis and Claudia travel to France, they meet him and he becomes obsessed with Louis, eventually having Claudia killed to get to him. He and Louis travel together for several decades before parting ways.

In the 80s, Armand tracks down Daniel, the interviewer from IWTV and stalks him until they end up in a fucked up romance as Daniel guides him through the modern world. More things happen to him past this (I only covered up to Queen of the Damned on the VC timeline), but that's the core of his story/what generally defines him as a character, as well as his affection for Louis, fraught paternal relationship/romance with Marius, and frenemy antagonism with Lestat.

Personality-wise, he's extremely volatile and manipulative, very violent and Machiavellian but also very traumatized (a nice combo of CSA, gaslighting, physical abuse, and religious/cult abuse). The "victim becomes the monster to protect themselves" trope x10, basically. He has all the mood swings and anger of a mentally ill teen with the impulses and abilities of a centuries-old vampire.

He's educated, refined, and plays his cards close to the chest, but also very curious and childlike because of how isolated he's been. Equal parts philosophical mastermind, serial killer, and kid desperate for love.

He's a really interesting character and I can't wait for y'all to meet him! It sounds like that'll be in season 2.

7, 8, 14, 17 vampire chronicles

^ actual depiction of anon who wants to see me get killed dsfjkldsfjls but SURE, LET'S GO, I'LL DUNK ON VC ANY DAY

7. what character did you begin to hate not because of canon but because how how the fandom acts about them?

oooh, tough one, just because I already hate so many characters because of canon lmao. I'm gonna say... maybe Nicki? purely because I've seen people attempt to Poor Little Meow Meow-ify him, and I'm not a fan of that. I wouldn't say I hate him, though.

8. common fandom opinion that everyone is wrong about

HOO BOY. I'm gonna go for a tame one: that book!Louis is pathetic and boring. is IWTV and Louis' intense depression easy and fun to read? no. but it does really feel like it hits on something real, and something that I personally really resonate with, and so as a fellow drowning-in-emotions wet blanket, I am very LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE when people talk shit about him. it's uncalled for, IMO.

14. that one thing you see in fics all the time

I don't actually read much VC fic anymore because it's all just swamped (haha) with show fic, and that's not an AU that I personally care much for - and when I do venture into VC fic, I am exceedingly picky about what I will read, so I don't really feel like I have a wide enough data set to answer this question.

17. there should be more of this type of fic/art

Lestat + Louis + Armand + Daniel dynamics, either as a polycule or as two couples in a little coven together. I honestly see that as the best case future scenario for all of them, as it allows the more intense boys different relationships to get attention from, and gives the others the opportunity for some space. also, for ALL of them, I think having a relatively low-stakes family unit would do them good, even if it occasionally gets messed up and weird. ALSO, a free AU for anyone who wants it - instead of Daniel going to Marius post-QOTD, Jesse sees this ticking timebomb of a man and asks her aunt if they can adopt her Blood Twin. Daniel would super benefit from being in an environment that isn't as intense as his relationship with Armand, and getting to hang around with someone his age would really help him work through whatever Post-Turning Bad Mental Health Shit he has, I think. And Jesse would have fun with him because they both have that Need To Investigate thing, and again, I think she'd like having a friend her own age who Gets what she's been through. platonic Daniel + Jesse please!!!

choose violence ask game

#thanks anon! though I already feel the VC fandom sniper dot on my head.............. #ask #ask game #anonymous

Louis de Pointe du Lac our favorite pyromaniac vampire

I like to think of this as Louis as he burns all of Lestat's stuff dearing their third divorce.

But I'm curious to see what other people think, especially after the abstinate fairy comment on my last drawing

Art vs Artist

My art vs artist collage features some of my favorite pieces I did this year 🥳

If you'd like to read the symbolism behind each piece, please feel free to look below the cut ✂️

✨️ Gabrielle de Lioncourt - based on a stunning reference pic of a ballerina, I wanted to convey her vulnerability alongside her empowerment. The moment she chose for herself to strip away the assigned clothing of her mortal life in order to fully embrace who she always was in her immortal one.

✨️ Armand, holding a Quran, paired with the verse, "He found you lost, and guided you." (93:7). Being queer religious myself I can deeply empathize with characters trying to balance a tight rope of two aspects of an identity. Here I allowed the viewer to decide if he's finding comfort as he clings to the holy texts.

✨️ Lestat in Magnus' basement ~ just before he's turned, paired with a poem about how resilience and resignation are two sides of the same coin. His face remains defiant against all odds, his body shows the results of violence, and he is surrounded by decaying death, resigned to whatever may happen next - but a kind of defiant determination not to show despair is paired with the overall composition.

✨️ A birthday piece I did for Tink featuring the character Steven Grant with his yarmulke and star of David necklace. This one meant a lot to me, too because I was encouraged by Tink's kind words and it was the paired with the verse: "Greater is he who acts from love than he who acts from fear." - Talmud, Sotah 31a.

✨️ Then there's me in the center 👁👄👁

✨️ I drew Aziraphale reading books in his shop for ace week back in October. It was a deeply personal piece because I wanted to imagine him finding books about asexuality and piecing some things together 😘 This one got uploaded with resource links for some 40+ ace books on tumblr & twitter 🖤🤍💜

✨️Louis, post Claudia, carrying the scythe after setting the coven on fire 🔥 This one is also one of my favorites and I wanted to convey the rage found in his grief, her ashes spread on him, and paired it with this verse from Job: "Therefore, I find myself reprehensible, and I will do penance in embers and ashes."

✨️ the next one was another birthday gift, this one for Anna featuring one of the best characters ever, Will Graham! I wanted to experiment with monochromatic colors to give him a classical vibe reminiscent of ancient Greek statues, and still add pops of color with the gold laurel crown. The drip affect was an aesthetic choice, but I think it paired well with the artistic vibes of the show. Hannibal had once implied they were like Achilles and Patroclus, but which one is which? I left that one up to the viewer 😘

✨️ And lastly, but certainly not least, one of my favorite, fun, for the vibes of epicness pieces - Lestat on a rock magazine cover for Brielle’s IWTV BB fic ❤️ I loved playing with the fashion aspect, and found the most fun reference photo for the pose. Add some bi lighting color palettes and it's *chefs kiss* 🫶🏻

Louis de Pointe du Lac from Interview with the Vampire

Well, I'm basically redoing my Halo series because it was one of my earliest actually I think it was my first fanart series as thirst traps I've done Armand now Louis and I'm pretty sure you all can guess who's next.

The Vampire Armand from the Vampire Chronicles

I was super hesitant to do this because I have been harassed very recently by some crazy weird Armand fans because they're not happy with the depiction of Armand in the TV show. But someone on a discord did talk me into doing a book accurate Armand portrait. So, please crazy Armand fans don't make me regret this. Because I'm actually happy with how this turned out.
