Love that I finally logged on and saw this in my notifications and (enter sarcasm) no idea whyyyyy you'd think I'd be interested in drawing happily married wedding day/post canon happily ever after at the vampire court #Loustat ~

A collage featuring the couple Loustat that I have drawn over the last two to three years. For a description of each one, please comment or DM me and I can provide one.

Thanks for the insight love ❤️

Genuinely asking bc I got added to some porn bot lists due to my NSFW Art and though reported and requested to be taken off - no luck, so part of me is like maybe just delete?

But not sure what the vibe is around here anymore so figured a temp check might make sense?

Oh look I've finally returned after *checks notes* 14 days 👀 . . . Happy Mardi Gras - here have some #IWTV #LDPDL feels 🫠

#KatsCatholicCommentary

Tumblr post screenshot from my own account that reads:

Do you wonder if after the Mardi Gras murder, as
Louis and Claudia stepped onto the boat and sailed
away into Ash Wednesday - . .. If Louis reflected on
that? Did he feel as despondent as ever, and wish he
could run to the church that was burned and collect
the ashes and make the sign of the cross on his
forehead? To enter the forty spiritual days of Lent
seeking repentance and absolution recoiling
internally until he could face every dark thing inside of
himself keeping him from God? Did he view Lestat as
Jesus, himself as Judas, and betray him with a kiss?
Did he view it the other way around, bracing for facing
the Devil in the desert of his soul?

Was it raining Louis?

#self reblog from last year
#but the tags are still accurate:
#stepping into Ash Wednesday tomorow and I'm
having feelings

Lestat in a Plaboy Bunny outfit was not on my 2025 bingo card, but honestly? No regrets 🤭

See below for the insta caption + how this came together 😘

A digital art portrait featuring Loustat, Louis and Lestat from AMC's Interview with the Vampire. Lestat is bending over a bit, wearing a playboy bunny costume plus ruffled gloves, platform shoes, and shiny leggings. smirking back at the viewer.

Louis is in a suit, visibly stunned but in an excited way, hands clasped to his face in a prayer pose - as if thankful for thr view ;)

A slightly darker colored circle is in the background to visually connect them and leave space for a caption - while my digital signature of "Isabelle Hemlock" is in the bottom left corner.

😘 thank you!

Alt: President Obama on the Jimmy Kimmel show, in a suit and tie, smiling and saying "oh yeah" to a microphone in his hand before lowering it - a man I'm the background clapping.

The pose is straight from the reference photo I used (see above). I loved how the clasped hands gave former altar boy Louis an almost religious 'thanking God for the view' - aesthetic 😎 But in referral to the Jay-Z part of your reply: ironically the song I used on the insta post was Bootylicious 😌

And Louis? Looks like a
Thank you for encouraging me to go for it - it was such a blast, And while making Lestat wear a playboy bunny costume was not on my 2025 bingo card, but I'm going with it Meanwhile _ouis looks like he's a religious experience almost, but then again, can we blame him?
Swipe to the end to see how 1 pieced together two reference pics, tweaked details, and brought the poll to life
Feel feee to let me know in the comments .. Would Lestat wear the ears or or try to make Louis wear them AIsoplusalso who wants to caption this one? I'm leaning towards "DAT ASS" but honestly I think just about anything goes here
You're welcome to tag a fellow Loustat fan who deserves a smile in this world on fire ~ or share to your story with your favorite caption, I'd love to see what you come up with

Fun fact: my top three choices for the accompanying music for this post was Bootylicious - Shake Ya Ass or Back That Ass Up

The text reads "Thank you for your votes and feedback!" Against a blurred copy of the image - as well as a screenshot from my stories showing the two reference photos I used and the poll winner being Lestat :)

Insta caption for the Devil's Minion art above with details of how this one came about and my thoughts behind it ✨️

isabellehemlock

The moment Armand knew - this one was going to be different
My patrons had full control over this one - from picking the pose, to whether it would be 0ld or Young Daniel (want in on the next vote? Join us on Patreon
Since Young Daniel won this round, I took it back to the 70s with a shag rug, crackling fireplace, and imagining them so down for it Daniel didn't even finish taking off his high colored shirt
So we've got Daniel living his best life - while 1 like to imagine Armand is having some kind of existential revelation lol,
What if it's the moment where something "clicks" - that this one, this one is *different*- even if not yet .. Hed eventually become his first and only fledgling? Does it feel euphoric? Probably terrifying? Maybe both lol. Either way, Daniel is blissfully unaware he's about to be stalked for decades
‣ Want to help me shape the next one? Join one of the tiers and get a variety of goodies (including but not limited to) voting power, behind the scenes, process videos, and signature free HQ copies
Let me know in the comments: What's running through Armand's mind? rop your theories bc I'd love to hear them
○ Alsoplusalso don't hesitate to tag a Devil's Minion fan who'd love to see this ~ or share this to your story

A teaser for this month's Patreon exclusive feat. #DevilsMinion - see below for my full insta caption for additional details 😎👌🏻

Personally I like to imagine Daniel having the time of his life - with no clue he's about to be stalked for *decades* 🤭😅

A digital portrait featuring Devil's Minion, Daniel and Armand, from AMC's IWTV. Armand’s legs are bent in a kneeling position, balancing Daniel's thighs draped over his, rocking into him as they both find their pleasure. His hand is simultaneously stroking Daniel, and Armand’s eyes are closed while Daniel's are open as he watches in awe.

They are spread over a white shag rug, nude, except for Daniel's green high colored shirt which is open. Beside them is a fireplace illuminating the otherwise dark room with a soft glow across the composition.

My digital pseud, "Isabelle Hemlock" is centered towards the middle in slightly faded white text.

A blurred copy of the portrait with an additional black circle for more of and blur - the words above it read:
