🌄 Brad Pitt & Jacob Anderson as LOUIS DE POINTE DU LAC watch his last sunrise

"And so you decided to become a vampire? " he asked. The vampire was silent for a moment. "Decided. It doesn't seem the right word. Yet I cannot say it was inevitable from the moment that he stepped into that room. No, indeed, it was not inevitable. Yet I can't say I decided. Let me say that when he'd finished speaking, no other decision was possible for me, and I pursued my course without a backward glance. Except for one." "Except for one? What?" "My last sunrise," said the vampire. "That morning, I was not yet a vampire. And I saw my last sunrise." — Anne Rice, Interview With The Vampire (1976)

Yay! A comic-ish thing about Armand's cult era (imagined with lots of artistic liberties)

I was mostly inspired by a song "Nyt on sinun aikasi" by Joose Keskitalo, which translates to "Now is your time" Lyrics: Pay attention to the details / You see in the painting / You'll notice the meanings / And know who you are / Now that the night has anointed you In the painting you see a crowd / Classically painted / But you stand apart / Hidden from others / The signs of the night on your forehead / Master brushed the bone of my forehead / There he smeared an ointment / And I felt / The signs of the night on my forehead / The night has anointed me

I'm so out of practice with gouache, so this was both fun and frustrating, hehe <3

you're so off-putting i need you

i think i wanna do mermay i just need a singular good idea first 😔 🤔 pray 4 me

Been thinking a lot lately about how Akasha calls Louis "the most predatory of all the immortals" because he kills "without regard for age or sex or will to live." but then later in TVA, Armand describes him as this:

"Louis, an indiscriminate killer, because he cannot satisfy his thirst without killing, though he is too weak to risk the death of the victim in his arms, and because he has no pride or vanity which would lead him to a hierarchy of intended victims, and therefore takes those who cross his path, regardless of age, physical endowments, or blessings bestowed by nature or fate."

Like on the surface Akasha seems totally right, Louis doesn't hunt the evildoer, he preys on innocent victims despite his devotion to humanity and that is what makes him dangerous because he's a hypocrite.

But I'm so intrigued by Armand's re-framing because yeah it makes sense that Louis hunts the way that he does since he doesn't have the same tools to weed out the evildoers, like the Mind Gift. Only there's another factor on top of that— Louis also doesn't have the pride that it takes to pick and choose victims!!!!! Like, it absolutely takes some level of pride and righteousness (and dare I say narcissism) to kill based on your personal perception of evil. It takes work to hunt down a drug lord or a gang leader. Like Armand says, their victims exist in a hierarchical system and to get to the top of the food chain, it takes intention and pre-meditation and a level of conviction Louis just doesn't have.

And honestly I think looking at it from that perspective highlights such an important part of who Louis is as a character because vampirism, for Louis, has never been about power. He just has no interest in living above humans. That's not to say he's completely free of vanity or narcissism (don't get me started there lol) but like I do think Louis' lack of discrimination towards victims ultimately stems from a rejection of playing God, rather than whatever unhinged predatory instincts Akasha implied.

love this sentence because it makes it sound like he’s lying about his height. Lestat is six feet tall (source: Lestat)

so did that the vampire get the job

He is reading shhhh~~~

Lestat didn't like this sweater hchg

But i love his ugly old sweater so here you go<333

"I really see vampires as transcending gender. If you make them absolutely straight or absolutely gay, you limit the material. They can be either one. They have a polymorphous sexuality. They see everything as beautiful." - Anne Rice
