Louis - Blood // Water

Tribute to l'enfant terrible herself, Claudia.

For those unaware, Claudia was based on Anne Rice’s own daughter Michele, who died at five years old from leukemia. The resulting depression led to Anne Rice publishing her first of many gothic horror novels, starting with Interview with the Vampire, in 1976. While Claudia was based on Michele, so was Lestat on her husband Stan (originally intended to be named Lestan) and Louis on herself.

The 1976 novel is unfortunately the only entry in The Vampire Chronicles from Louis’ POV, which came from a place of her own personal trauma. Lestat was obviously a far more flamboyant, fun, fanciable character for her to focus on, but ultimately not as prone to exploring the existential crises and philosophical questioning present in her original novel.

One may also notice that the doll shop owner Madeleine’s backstory is that of a mother who lost a young daughter who likewise never got to grow up. Rice’s house in New Orleans was famously filled with antique dolls, which is imagery very much associated with Claudia.

For obvious reasons, a five year old was deemed unable to handle the demanding role of Claudia, which is that of a woman’s mind driven mad trapped in a child’s body (she’s actually over eighty years old by the end of her story), and so the role was aged up for a then eleven-year-old Kirsten Dunst. There was a nationwide search that included younger actresses, but Dunst was one of the few who could handle the part. She actually didn’t get to see the film until years later, either. The 1994 film also included her first kiss, which was with none other than Brad Pitt, though neither were enthused! Dunst also wore the blue dress when she attended Rice’s Memnoch Ball in 1995.

Prompt: “Louis/Daniel (Night Island/maybe them appreciating the bright lights of Miami?)”

Well, I read a post in your blog about what a mess (and funny) would be the drive in QotD, and it got mixed in my mind with your original prompt, so I made a little comic about Louis and Daniel driving though Miami in Night Island 80s fighting for the control over the radio with a nice-happy feeling about it. Hope you like it!

I ALMOST FORGOT! I also made an accompanying little playlist with the music they listen while driving Armand’s nice 1961 Ferrari 250GT SWB California Spyder.

Listen, the tv series isn’t going to give us Daniel the sassy gay and highly capable reporter in the 1970′s trying to transcribe a book and survive a vampire stalker at the same time, so *I am.*

Marius-Armand-Daniel

I adore these three men. To me, they are such a beautiful running thread through the series. The scholarly Roman forced into taking up the mantle of the wise and responsible leader, the lost soul stolen and rescued for luxury only to be lost again, and the boy, curious to a fault who became a ruined thing. For their blood line to come full circle and for Daniel, the one who started it all, the crux on which The Vampire Chronicles begins, to become the beloved companion to Marius, while both love and mourn for and reunite with Armand in their ways, how broken Marius leaves Armand, how broken Armand leaves Daniel, it’s the most beautiful and frightful trio. 

Absolutely obsessed with the song Shot at the Night by the Killers for Daniel circa the Night Island so here’s some neon dreams

Warm Miami nights. I picture this somewhere around 1982. He’s not doing great in any shape or form but that death spiral hasn’t quite hit yet

Happy cold dark time of the year, TVC Fandom!

Or at least, survivable cold dark time of the year. Take solace in knowing how early vampires can wake up now in the northern hemisphere. Those bastards can catch matinee shows and grab the after dinner crowd for their meals! Yay them!

Here’s a tense Louis and an oh so seventies Daniel to get you through. 

More of my new favorite rarepair, Thorne and Daniel

Another beautiful idea from @daniel-james-molloy, wanting something that would break the fandom- I mean, something tender and romantic between Marius and Daniel

Another “Ghost” inspired commission for @daniel-james-molloy, wanting a scene of Daniel, despite his inner storms and terrors, safe for once in Marius’ arms. Absolutely delighted to have worked on this

Commission slots are open, Message me for details <3

Body type practice with Daniel, Thorne and Armand

Or as I like to call them, Heroin Chic, Bara Tiddies, and Plump n’ Juicy

Some more painfully 80′s Daniel Molloy

Daniel from the end of Queen of the Damned, listening to Bach and watching his maker lose at chess while Daniel loses his mind

Rarepair?

Rarepair

Reporter Boy and the Viking Thug (Daniel and Thorne)

@daniel-james-molloy wanted Marius and Daniel inspired by the poster for Dirty Dancing
