Armand continually refuses to give Daniel what he (thinks he) wants; details about his history, immortality, strategic and potentially dangerous vampire BJs.

Assad's Armand as Botticelli's Mercury because I wanted to make a show-accurate version of the book's cover

My friend _Moonwitchart (on instagram) came up with the idea and I drew it for her teehee

Star Trek: The Next Generation – A Final Unity (1995)

[covenofthearticulate]

just thinking about how louis always has these big existential ideas and woes, but his worldview and his values are actually incredibly tiny and simple. he is so worried about damnation and finding some grand purpose in life but his world has always been contained to his little flat and his lover.

like, just thinking about his turning in comparison to lestat or armand or marius…louis was turned on the front steps of his own house, which he continued to live in for years. there is something so inherently domestic about louis. he likes to keep track of the finances, likes to haunt the same taverns and saloons, likes to stare at the rain and the same magnolia tree he’s passed by a million times. he never stepped foot outside new orleans until he was nearly 100 years old and it’s making me feel so many bittersweet feelings :(

Interview with the Vampire Manga Adaptation (Yoake no Vampire) by Udoh Shinohara + DL Link

DL LINK HERE

Happy new episode of IWTV AMC day! Today though, I want to share something I've teased earlier on my blog, which is the Japanese manga adaptation of the Interview with the Vampire gothic horror novel. See under the cut for more details!

It came out in 1994, a bit after the movie, but it only referenced the book itself. It consisted of a single volume made up of three chapters, so events are condensed and abridged, and it skips Part II in Eastern Europe. The first two chapters were scanlated into English by a group named Trine and distributed on the aarinfantasy forums in 2007, but the third chapter was kind of lost to time, especially after all the links to the raw Japanese scans went down years ago. However, I discovered that a now defunct Portuguese scanlation group did the whole thing (individual credits included in the .zip), and I was able to recover chapter three, use heavily cross-checked and edited MTL (PT-ENG), and deliver the final product to you all. See more notes about this process or where to read the PT version in the readme file included in the .zip! It's not 100% perfect and I would not call it true 'scanlation' obviously, so if anyone can do a better job I welcome them to! I hope more visibility on this manga makes the raws become available again so a true JPN-ENG translation can be done on the last chapter!

This manga obviously has major IWTV book spoilers, but it does NOT include anything from later books in the series and is honestly quite faithful overall. It even includes Lestat's father. I might actually call it slightly gayer than the book, since Louis and Armand become more obviously in love. I would recommend it to anyone who's watching the series and hasn't read the book yet, as well as to anyone who enjoys the books alone! The art style is very 90s, but it has some really beautiful visuals sometimes, especially with Claudia. I hope everyone enjoys reading it!
