OH NO I'VE JUST REALIZED SOMETHING. It's so obvious how did I just catch it.
So Lestat and Armand meet up earlier in Memnoch the Devil, and Armand is wearing all denim and is super dusty. Lestat sees him and lovingly thinks about wanting to clean him up, do his hair, etc. Armand responds 'yeah, you're always wanting that, back in Paris you wanted to perfume me and comb my hair and put me in velvet and embroidery'. (see here for excerpts)
WHEN LESTAT GETS BACK NEAR THE END OF THE BOOK ARMAND IS WAITING FOR HIM! Wearing velvet and embroidered lace! He has left his hair down and uncut like it was back all those years ago in Paris, only it's cleanly washed. (see here for excerpts)
He.... he gave himself the Lestat-likes-it-when-I-look-like-this makeover while Lestat was out.

You know, I always wondered why Raven’s bracers don’t actually protect her hands. As a swordwoman, it’s crucial to keep the actual back of her hand protected.
But now, but now I see where they went.
Summer’s hand guards are the perfect shape, color, and skeletal build to match Raven’s. The fact that the concept of her weapon covers both of her hands perfectly when concept arts are usually not so obstructed is VERY telling on the importance of these red guards she has on. Either the guards Summer wears were meant to complete the set Raven currently owns, or Raven wears her bracers in honor of the ones Summer used to have. Either way, they’re so fucken wifecore and I never fucken lose ROSEBIRD NATION HOW ARE WE FEELING!!!

Prompt:
The first mission the Court send their newly minted Talon on is an assassination attempt on the ward of one Bruce Wayne… Dick Grayson.
Calvin— can’t kill Dick. He can’t.
He didn’t know it would be the boy he grew up in the circus with they want him to murder in cold blood. He didn’t know— didn’t recognize him until the knife was already at his throat.
But he remembers now. And he won’t do it. Never. Never.
He’ll run. Disappear. Dick doesn’t know who he is, it’s better that way, and if he’s lucky the Court will be too busy hunting him to care about the failed assassination.
Unfortunately for Calvin, Dick does remember; Recognizes the Talon.
And he’s not inclined to let his childhood best friend slip through his fingers again after years of believing him dead.
