happy birthday assad!! today seems like the perfect day to post this:
i've been meaning to rebind my copy of tva ever since i got it (from a used bookstore, it's falling apart) but in retrospect thank god i haven't yet because it would've impeded throwing that godforsaken book at the wall across from my bed as hard as possible when i finished it
“I need the three of them on a subreddit banner, some kind of face holding would be nice” OMG SAY NO MOAR I thought enthusiastically- and just like that I got to draw this ✨ thank you iwtv_vampirelestat (on ig) for giving me the perfect opportunity to squeeze these terrible people together 💕
If you are a DM aficionado, this subreddit is waiting for you: let the red tape of destiny lead you there 👁️u👁️🌸
I need break to never end so I can continue to indulge the little demon in my head that demands I draw Armand and Daniel! A little old Devil’s Minion for you with a young Bogosian flavoring cause what else is new. It actually only just occurred to me ??? the other day, that in season three when we will inevitably (I’m manifesting) get some DM flashbacks, that it’ll be with LBF and I’m so excited. In my brain young devils minion is always Bogosian because I love his face, but I adore Luke. Also more eye red flare , which I always refer to as the Constantine effect in my head, a la the demons in the Keanu Reeves Constantine movie.

Daniel : So, tell me... Did you see Lestat again?
Page 2
Louis : When he's not on Tour, he would occasionally visits.
Page 3
Daniel : So you're what, now? Friends?
Louis : [Hello Lestat.]
Lestat : [Hello Louis.]
It would be too simple. You know us.
Louis : [ That's new. Still enjoying the glitz and glamor?]
But there is this arrangement we are both fine with.

When two people hurt each other so deeply, what is left afterwards?

Things like that, it seals doors once still unlocked at the time. Can time really heal everything?
[Mets moi dans mon cercueil, Louis, Louis...]

[Stay down chéri, I don't want to fight like this. I'll stay. I'll stay, I'll never leave you ever again. I promise. I'll be happy. For you. For her. Please please please please]
Some things were flipped over to show the truth. Others, I learned to see differently. I faced my wrongs.
[I'll be anything please please please please please please. I didn't know it was a gift. I wore it like a curse. I was selfish. I wanted you to suffer. Because I was. Suffering. I came to thank you.]

Do we love each other still? Yes. Can we live under the same roof, share the same spaces, the same bed, for an extended period of time, again? No. But this raging, all devouring passion, it is now replaced by something that can never be altered. Is this the price we had to pay to finally be equals?
Page 8
We have never been more understanding of each other. A shadow of something that could have been from the start. Friendly jokes. Bickering I will never admit enjoying. Respect. And then, the always surprising softness. So eerie after all that happened. Yet, we always welcome it.

Daniel : [How dramatic. Not ready to live together again, yet he's all over your coffee table.]
Louis: [I didn't buy these.]
Daniel : [Sure. Will you let me know the next time he passes by?]
Louis : [Well I can't. This is his safe place. You will have to find him by yourself I'm afraid.]
Daniel : [Of course. He can't make anything easy. As if he didn't have enough safe places with his ten properties.]

Louis: [Nice chat. Bye, Daniel.]
Lestat : [Only when I'm not on Tour, hm?]
Louis [Approximately.]
Lestat : [Thanks.]
Louis : [Did you really just say thank-]
Lestat: *kisses Louis* [...too soon?]

Louis : Almost a century is enough waiting.
