I did this one for this beautiful art by sweet_shut_eye on X.

No quote as we don't know enough to interpret it & I don't want to give it a words interpretation that isn't true to itself.

(AM I BEING PARANOID... OR DOES NICOLAS LOOK LIKE HE IS NOW LOOKING DISDAINFULLY DOWN UPON ME, JUDGING ME!?! 👀)

Arms around each other, defiant, scared. Whispering last words to one another.

And you could tell from the look on Lestat's face, the last thing she saw on Earth was him.

Hehe, well who knows how they’ll adapt that part, but it feels a travesty not to use that Sheila can sing like this?! 🤞😃

OK, I'm going to make 100% of people fall in love with Sheila Atim right now!

You're welcome!

Now, imagine her as Akasha, the moment when she is moved to sing...

By the good time
Where they're all pumping blood in the face in love with this stupid rhyme
Bang bang etc…
All fall down
On the ground
All fall down
Bang bang etc…

Rubbish 😂

Not sure on the words, but…

I’m a little killer
I’m a lonely one
I’m the chill creeping up your spine
Telling you to run
I’m the hanging shadow
I’m the last lie
I’m the past and the future
The last of the sutures (soldiers?)
A cooing dove
Where the rock and roll is
By the good time

Give me a trailer… I’ll instantly analyse it for Nicolas, my soul connection since childhood!

Lestat never sees Nicki as a ghost in canon, yet he is always *haunted* by him. How will TV interpret this?

Let me analyse at 2am whilst SOBBING PROFUSELY for 6 months……..??????? 💀

Art by @dxxarts.

Everything I see when I look at you is utterly insubstantial. It is a commingling of tiny movements and indefinable colours as if you haven't a body at all, but are a collection of heat and light. You are light itself, and what am I now?

Odd duet with myself! Actually this time.

Nicolas de Lenfent @nicolasdelenfent.bsky.social · 4d

Oh, idiot me posted the same one twice. I DIE

as what key was even in in the first improvisation? No key. 😂😅💀🎻🫣

Eternal as I am, I curl like a cinder in that blaze.”

Odd duet with myself! It was not easy to do..

“Yet I wanted so to touch him -- his hands, his arms, his face. I wanted to feel his flesh with these new immortal fingers. And I found myself whispering the word "Alive." Yes, you are alive and that means you can die. And everything I see when I look at you is

“Ask for it, Wolfkiller, and you shall live forever.”

This art was so striking, I had to do one for this too. Also, I feel like I did too many pretty improvisations recently, so… let’s redress the balance!

Inspired by @chicalepidoptera’s art.

He’d just cried at The Witches’ Place and Mama taught him to make things better by turning your attention to DOING. Look after those pups, pup. Become a hunter, the hunter I could never be!

What I saw in this was a bucolic beauty, but I also felt a sadness in Lestat amid it, and…

“We rode for half a day before we reached the impressive château of a neighboring lord, and there she and the gentleman took me out to the kennel, where she told me to choose my favorites from a new litter of mastiff puppies.”

An improvisation inspired by @chicalepidoptera’s art.

Baba Lestat!

Also, I have very little time to do this on Wednesdays so if you noticed I bashed the screen behind me with my bow, no you didn’t! 😂💀🫣
