can we stop arguing over dead french and who or who may not have been canon and just agree they're all faggots

[rijinks]

Now for something different; sad art featuring vampire Daniel. Marius is there.

After what we've seen in Blood and Gold, I imagine that once Daniel is able to face and order his thoughts, he will need to process some things emotionally. I'd like for him to have some catharsis.

This is before he and Marius are actually together. Please ignore the seeming height difference or imagine Daniel kneeling on an elevated surface or something.

Some notes on Amel, Lestat, and eggpreg

Imagine drinking from Akasha and finding out 30 to 4,000 tears later that she got you ghost-pregnant. Sorry Marius, you're a hive now. Also, hm, not getting a great feeling about Amel's essential benevolence here!

Bonus Nicki mention at the end 😔

When trying to relearn how to draw some of the Mechs of COURSE I had to start with the prison Mechs because how else could I make funny TBI jokes?

Didn't have to relearn Nastya tho. She was one of the only ones I remembered <3

@rolliesmuses Markie opens his mouth to tell her but closes it. " Y'know what.. never mind. "

Alright. He's pulled her focus. ( and piqued her curiosity )

"Is there an issue?"

[idontwikeit]

Is this a safe space? Can I vent for a sec? I hate dreamstat, it does not achieve what it was supposed to and on top of that the optics are terrible. Instead of Louis being haunted by him over the years, dreamstats constant presence is nothing but annoying to me. And two, the optics of having a white guy take away any sincerity in the scenes between two man of colour just sucks. He should not have been in the museum scene, because instead of having the focus on Armand's past, it's all "haha dreamstat hates Armand so much" (did you see those people saying dreamstat reacted that way because he knows Armand is lying about what happened to him as a child? 😒). And it also takes away from Louis' struggle, the agony he is in, because instead of Jacob's performance, the main thing people talk about is how funny and bitchy dreamstat is being.

Do I think the whole dreamstat is to appeal to lestat fans who will probably not watch (since they hate poc with a fiery passion)? Yeah. I do kinda like some dreamstat scenes when he is used well as a visual for Louis' subconscious but I also agree he should not be there during the museum scene as it lessens the significance of the scene and takes away the focus. Largely I think my distaste for dreamstat is due to the rancid takes from fans using dreamstat as the excuse to justify their hate towards louis/loumand/armand which are so blatantly racist I wanna puke

@mockingjaybroken sent: [WOUND] - Sender has to patch up receiver’s wound. + "I'm not good at this the way my mom and sister were but I can still help if you'll let me try." (For Orm)

seggsual tension!| Accepting

Orm was still uncomfortable with people. "It's fine." He said. "It doesn't have to be pretty it just has to keep me from being hurt." He continued. He held the shirt in his hand. "Unless you don't want too."

"I saw no reason to talk endlessly, as Aristotle did, about things that were made. The lives of the ancients that Plutarch told with such spirit made excellent stories. I wanted to know people of the now, however.

Even the books I read reflected this new realm in which I had been so securely fixed that nothing could take me back to the world of confusion and suffering that had gone before.

I learned to play little songs on the Virginal. I learned to strum the lute and to sing in a soft voice, though I would only sing sad songs. My Master loved these songs." ~ Armand, TVA

It's always fascinating to me how Armand describes himself in his own voice. Like his narrative tone is so strikingly different from Lestat's; it's still very rich, but much simpler and matter-of-fact. These are the facts as Armand sees them at this point in his life, and that's that.

But I love how even as a five hundred year old vampire, Armand can look back on his human self and say: "I wanted to know people of the now." This thirst for knowledge and desire to not only connect with the present, but to understand it, has always been a fundamental part of him -- long before Daniel, before Louis, before the cult.

The second, "nothing could take me back" quote is definite foreshadowing for what's to come, but "confusion and suffering" is what stands out to me as having already become the established baseline in his psyche due to the traumas that led him to Venice. It's not conscious, but it's something even Marius notes in B&G, and the subsequent behaviors Armand then used to distract himself.

I saw in Amadeo a growing confusion as memories tried to make themselves known to him and he would deny them, sometimes waking beside me as we dozed together, and tormenting me with kisses when I would rather dream.

It's not until the very end of canon that we see Armand reach a place where he genuinely seems like the person free of confusion and uncertainty that he never got to be -- even as a child, even in Venice.

I'm so glad AR gave my boy that closure at least.

a gift for @xremusx, location: hehe note: kisskiss fall in love

"I don't think destroying his precious lab falls under the umbrella term of keeping your distance but, I'll allow it," venomously teased, the demon slipped forward, Remus still clinging to the fragments and fringes of his ruined jacket; at least he wasn't openly fuming about it's destruction any longer. "What's next on the itinerary?" Drawled out with a mild grin, their head cocked to the side inquisitively, "You don't owe that wolf anymore favors, do you?" Marius would prefer if they could run off to their own proclivities as wolfish laughter and brackish howls filled the air around them.
