some of you asked if you could print/chew/otherwise consume my Devil's Minion art, and i did ask if you needed a masterpost on the topic, so-
may i offer you this Google Drive folder, o gentle creatures..?
i'll add more, and i believe it's sensible to add the links to the original posts with these images, but frankly speaking i am chill with whatever way you use or share them if that's for your personal use
just keep them free, that's my only request
what was born as a free art should remain free art
any questions left? ask them, i don't bite unless you would really like that
now, have a peaceful day and my digital hug
💜UPDATE💜
it feels appropriate to make it a fully shaped masterpost, links and all, so... links to each and every artwork on the theme - below the cut

Thinking so hard about that, "Prove it," in the park scene and why Daniel reacts so strongly to Armand's fucked up little love confession.
Daniel Molloy has driven away everyone who ever loved him, and he knows it.
By the time we see him in S1, he's been divorced twice, he's estranged from his children, and he has no friends to speak of. All he has is his career, which he holds onto as the one thing he did right in his life. He even tells Louis: I was bad at everything else, but I was a good journalist. He has accepted this about himself. He knows he was the problem in all his relationships - the choices he made and the hurt he caused are the reason he's alone. That is a HEAVY pill to swallow, especially when you're in your 70s and staring down the barrel of a terminal illness.
Then suddenly, he's a vampire. He's not dying anymore. Now he's going to live forever. What's he gonna do with all that time? The only thing he knows how to do is be a journalist, so that's what he does. He throws himself into making his documentary because it's literally all he has. He's not like Louis, whose mortal family still loved him and wanted him around even after he turned, or Lestat, who quickly made fledglings of the people he loved so they could spend eternity with him.
Daniel tells Louis: "Vampire loneliness - I get it now."
Daniel doesn't have people who love him. He ruined all that. All he's got is his career as a journalist. So that's what he spends his eternity on - he's gonna make his documentary and wring some truth out of Lestat, because it's a distraction from facing down eternity as an immortal who is not just alone, but who has lived a long life and come out if it with the conclusion that they are fundamentally unlovable and its their own damn fault.
And now here's his maker again. Fuck this guy, right? Armand is the one who gave him this immortality, which he's now going to have to spend alone and unloved. And to top it all off, Armand left Daniel too. At least this one time, Daniel can say that it wasn't his fault, and he can pour all his anger and frustration out on the one person who left him when he didn't deserve it.
And then Armand says, "By the way, I love you."
"I've been here the whole time. You thought you pushed everyone away? You didn't. I'm here. I've always been here."
"Do you remember all the times you were a bad husband? I was there and I still love you."
"Do you remember all the times you were a bad father? I know about that. I still love you."
"Those awful, shitty things you've done? I know about those too and I'm fine with them. You aren't repulsive to me. I still love you."
"I've cared for you at your worst, and I still love you."
"I know you need your career to give your life meaning. I'll even support you in that if you let me. Because I love you."
"You're tattered, and you're broken, but I still want you to be mine."
The truth is, Maekar saw Daeron go down and never get up, and Aerion get beaten the shit up really fucking badly.
Aerion is what he is, but in Maekar's eyes, he's just his little boy, no matter how armored up he presents himself. And he must have thought he already had lost one of his precious children. What father could bear to watch another die in front of him ?
We are forever little kids in a loving parent's mind. And Maekar, in that fucking trial, was a father before he was a brother.
Steve gets a regular old head injury, wakes up in the hospital unsure about everything except the fact that, “Tommy should be here. If ‘m in the hospital, Tommy would come.”
He is insistent on this.
He is distressed about it.
Now Robin and Dustin are standing on the Hagan’s front porch like, “Steve’s in the hosp-“
“Taking the car,” Tommy shouts back into the house as he grabs a set of keys. “Let’s go.”
♡ “who is he?” “just an old friend.” “friend? does he know that?”
♡ “are you jealous?” “jealousy is an egregious and shallow emotion for weak minded individuals.” “oh, you are jealous!"
♡ “jealous does not begin to describe the gravity of my emotions.”
♡ character A running up to an old friend and pulling them into a hug, while the colour drains from character B’s face.
♡ “jealousy doesn’t suit you, (nickname)” “have you seen me? everything suits me.”
♡ “i have nothing to envy, you looked completely disinterested with her, no spark in your eyes as you looked at her.” “how would you know what that looks like?” “because you used to look at me like that.”
♡ character A dances with character B’s nemesis unknowingly.
or
♡ character A purposefully dances with character B’s nemesis to get a reaction from character B’s sullen and stoic self.
♡ “it should not take seeing me with another man to realize you want me.” “i have always wanted you. but it has never mattered what i wanted, it is what you want. what do you want?"
♡ “you look rough.” a perfect description of the character who just watched the love of their life go on a date with someone else.
♡ “the two of you looked cute, you're always welcome to find me when you realize you’re not one for settling.”
♡ “so you don’t love him?” “no, i love him because he is my friend but i’m not in love with him.” “i don’t follow.”
for example sensing when his husband wants some guidance through a task. it doesn't even have to be a particularly difficult task - he's literally stood there beside ian (and behind him) gently walking him through making dinner. giving him lots of "mhm, like that"s and "there ya go, big guy - looks good" and praise for doing a good job. the food is always bomb, and there's nothing quite as tasty as the proud smile that beams across ian's face.
another example is how mickey can sniff out when ian's being stubborn about basic care things. like when their schedule has been weird for the day so their routine is off, and ian insists that he's fine, but he definitely hasn't eaten enough and is being a huge crab-ass about it. but instead of nagging him, mickey will drop into his lap and peel open an orange or something for them, very quietly talking to him as he pops a slice into ian's mouth, and then one for himself.
sensing when ian wants to stop making decisions and just breathe. so he spreads his thighs and invites ian over to sit on the floor between them, facing him. and ian does it. happily. he's perfectly content to disengage as mickey leads his head to the side until he's resting against the inside of his leg, his eyes drifting shut as mickey cups his other cheek and slowly strokes his thumb over his face.
the positioning of it has ian's body relinquishing power by pure muscle memory alone. and sometimes he even falls asleep like that - his cheek smushed and a tiny drool spot dampening mickey's pants. (mickey lets him doze a little, and then eventually helps move him up onto the couch so he can lie down between his legs, the side of his face smushed into mickey's chest this time.) when ian lays with his full body-weight on top of him, mickey knows he's finally gotten exactly what he needs. which makes him feel relaxed too.
idk, just...non-sexual domming - extra soft style. i think about it a lot.
