--Vorlesers Scary Corner--

And how Armand's trauma was so prolonged and sustained and almost predictable in the most awful way possible and how he was in pain for so long. And Armand is the one who messes with people's minds and waits and watches and lies. He's a painting, he isn't an active participant in his life.

For Armand, he always puts himself in positions of power, the maítre/ master role he assumes when ruling his cult or even toward the theatre des vampirs, in the same way that Marius was his maítre/master while he was forced to be the slave. He's trying to break out of that submissive role, at the same time as soon as he gets into a relationship, he falls into his old patterns, letting himself be called Arun and addressing all his known partners in the show as maítre.

For Lestat, his major thing seems to be abandonment issues from when Magnus threw himself into the fire and the drastic way his relationship with Nicki ended. He tries to make a big show of turning Louis consensually and being there for him to teach him how to be a vampire, something Lestat himself never got, but much like Magnus his insecurity makes him prone to extreme abusive violence and a need to control others. This insecurity is also definitely what makes him more easy to manipulate for Gabriella and probably later on Akasha.

✨My version of the “Abduction of Helen”, which is my contribution to @singomusezine, last volume coming out in July, as you know, full of great fellow artists drawing Greek Mythology awesomeness.

I chose this episode from The Iliad, Book III as the theme of the zine this year is about The Trojan War and all related.

🍏🦢 Paris and Helen of Sparta/Troy.

or; my take on that one hand shadow bra trend (that I'm definitely not late to) with Diomedes because really who else do I ever draw

This is a really-really old-old thing, and it’s not even finished (I’m not going to finish it)

It was supposed to include Paris, Troy, and all that

Look at this smug ass
