a quick comic with some headcanons about what happened to armand’s art

listen it would ruin the ✨drama✨, but i cannot stop thinking of the comedic potential of louis and lestat acquiring claudia at the age of 5 like in the books but waiting to turn her until she's an adult

it's bedtime (by vamp standards) and this naturally dramatic (like her parents) child is sticking her tongue out at them while standing in the sunshine in the yard while lestat is fully ready to just lock her out for the next nine hours while louis is trying to psst psst psst her like a cat back into the shade

meanwhile claudia is giggling and darting in and out of reach because as far as she's concerned, this is a DELIGHTFUL game, and BOTH of her dads are playing :D

look at this loumandaniel crumb in queen of the damned btw

Mind if I draw this?

[Text description: All the young vampires are knocked over, and sort king Armand holds Louis and Daniel by the scruffs of their necks like a cat with kittens. "They're fine! They're with me!" He shouts, revealing a small set of fangs.]

I know being visible is hard right now, and you’re no less valid for having to hide. Deep down, know that this is your day too. I love you x

@elodieunderglass this is relevant to your interests.

so expressive! Thank you so much!

my brother had a brilliant idea that i wanted to share with other people who have four-legged family members: he trained our two cats to go directly to the door when they hear the fire alarm.

obviously at first the fire alarm sent them scrambling for cover, but he started slowly by giving them treats whenever it went off, when someone burned food or forgot to open the fireplace flu. he then progressed to calling them to the door to offer treats immediately after the alarm went off. and it actually wasn't too long before the cats voluntarily started going to the door upon hearing the alarm.

i think this was genius because in the event of a real emergency we know exactly where the cats will be and we will not have to waste precious time trying to find them to rescue them. i think this method would work equally well with dogs and probably other free-roaming pets such as rabbits, ferrets, etc. and i certainly encourage others to give it a shot!

I trained Neelix to alert me to Sounds. So in the even of A Sound he'd find me to let me know about it. Oven timers, knocking at the door, weird creature stuck in the yard, etc. This has the added effect of being able to scoop him up and bring him to safety in the event said sound is a fire alarm or a tornado siren.

The downside is, when I had a baby, every time it cried he'd barrel into the room to let me know. Even if I was already in the room. And if I couldn't make The Sound stop (because an infant works differently than an oven timer), he'd start biting me urgently. 😅

Confused, but doing his best:

Oh, context is that I'm deaf not that I wanted to create a beast that'd harass me over sounds.

Interview with the Vampire 2x02

All my haters become aligators when I activate my gatorinator.

you laugh now, but when my gatorinator is ready, it's all over

update:

transmogrifying my haters into an animal that is known for something called the "death roll" has backfired in a manner no one could have forecasted

Having taken stock of the situation, it's not as bad as I originally thought. It's not like these crocodilians are an urgent problem, much less a representation of my own mortality. There's no ticking clock here.

well now you're just doing this on purpose

I think that's the highest tags forecast I have received so far.

Posts that have 100k gators to me.

Actually there are only 5 gators in my post, but it is an understandable mistake.

Now there are 100,005 gators on this post

...

You know what? Good job.

Other people said this post had thousands of notes in their mind, but only contributed two notes.

You? You said that it had 100k gators to you.

And then you did it.

+1 respect point.

now that's what i call a
