The vampire Armand

from The San Antonio Museum of Art

'Doll, doll,’ I called her. That’s what she was. A magic doll. Laughter and infinite intellect and then the round-cheeked face, the bud mouth. ‘Let me dress you, let me brush your hair,’ I would say to her out of old habit, aware of her smiling and watching me with the thin veil of boredom over her expression.

Book DM in modern days or whatever LAJSNSNSM I missed drawing them 😭

When I read Lestat the Vampire, the scene in the witch's glade really struck a chord with me. And when she was shown in the series, I was, frankly, disappointed. I really don't like the way Lestat's childhood is depicted in the series and the good moments between him and Gabrielle are completely excluded. In the series, this moment simply reinforces the image of Lestat's family as bad people who mistreat him. But the book version shows something completely different. Firstly, this scene is related to Nikki, and secondly, it shows how sensitive and vulnerable Lestat has always been. He doesn't need to see someone being burned; the very fact that it was done is enough. And in the book, this scene seems to be more significant than in the series. In the series, they turned it into a joke, like, "Oh, these 17th-century entertainments."

Im dryin up faster than lake mead just thinking about it
