In no universe should Louis de Pointe du Lac be lighting his own cigarettes❗️

[lizardkingeliot]

The night of his 264th birthday, Lestat wakes to the bliss of Louis in the coffin beside him. Pressed to him like a part of himself, like a limb. Like a second heart beating outside of his chest. He presses a kiss to Louis' forehead. And hums happily. And says, "Bonsoir, cheri. I was dreaming of you."

Louis blinks awake, inhales, smiles. Presses a sleepy little kiss to the corner of Lestat's mouth. "Is that so?"

"Oui," Lestat says, and kisses Louis on the forehead again. Soaking up the heat of his soft bare skin. So content in the quiet dark of their coffin he can't imagine ever opening the lid.

"And what was dream Louis doin' exactly?" Louis asks, and kisses Lestat on the mouth once, twice, three times.

"Oh, all sorts of terribly filthy things," Lestat says, drawing a little rumble of laughter from Louis at once.

"Guess he must've known it was your birthday, hm?" Louis says, his voice dropping low, dark as the coffin sealed off from the light all around them. His hand roaming down Lestat's chest, over his ribcage, falling sweet as kisses against the dip of his belly.

Lestat tries to respond but no words will come. His whole body seized with weakness as Louis' mouth begins to follow the trail mapped out by his hand.

this scene being right after louis' transformation has me wondering if lestat had those capes hidden away in a mausoleum or stole/bought them quickly and made louis wait for him at the graveyard but didn't use the time to clean himself up properly

but what the most important thing is that lestat wanted to make louis feel like a proper vampire by getting him a cape, and during that time the most popular vampirical influence was, which is so beautiful to me

i need claudia to haunt lestat but not in the overt, in your face way that dreamstat haunted louis. i need claudia to sit quietly just barely in sight. blurred in the background of every shot lestat is in. even if we don't always see her, he does. but if he tries to look at her directly she moves out of sight. she's gone. he has no chance to fix things with her because she's dead so he doesn't get to look her in the eyes anymore

[ldpdluvr]

my favourite loustat hc at the moment is that louis tells lestat not to cum in him the first time they hook up but as soon as lestat's in him he's begging for it

[louferrignojrofficial]

if i got the chance to interview oliver stark about 911, you bet your ass i wouldn’t waste a single question over something like ‘will tommy be jealous of buck and eddie’s friendship?’ after we have seen multiple times he isn’t, and most recently in the new episode. not to mention we’ve seen even eddie isn’t jealous of buck and tommy’s relationship, and we were shown that yet again in the premiere. there are so many more interesting things you could ask about buck’s actual relationship and that story, or even buck and eddie. but no.

Armand has the worst prophet Cassandra vibes to him. He says things, people say “oh no, I don’t like that” and then he’s right!

Like, in the books he says to Lestat that he and Gabrielle will come in ways to resent one another, that they will separate, etc. Gabrielle and Lestat say “maybe eventually, but no that won’t happen in the short term”. And then literally pages later, Lestat is forced to go like “okay so maybe Armand was right” when he and Gabrielle do inevitably go their own ways because they want such polar opposite things!

Armand warns for when Lestat’s fledglings come to hate him, and what do Claudia and Louis do about few decades down the line??? They try to kill him.

Armand in the show says “what will do about this book? When the vampires of the world read it and come to besiege the apartment?” And what happens at the end of s2??? The book gets published and Louis challenges then to come to the Dubai apartment.

Description below the cut. seeing that it was included in the trial animation made me smile so. here is a compilation of the background raccoon in iwtv :}

edit: 1. just wanted to say that Daniel reads off one of Armand's stage notes in s2e8, "We need an animation here. It's not clear how extreme the hoarding was." 2. added a bts photo from the director below!

Animated during the trial [s2e7]: Walking from right to left. Head pops out from under newspapers. Lestat presents it on a silver platter.

Original shot [s1e5]: Seen stepping on hat box and statue while the camera pans from the dirty stairwell to Lestat and Louis.

Cast diary from Jacob Anderson [s1e5]: “Episode 5, also known as “the raccoon episode”. There is a scene-stealing raccoon. I was going to say you might notice- you will definitely notice her. She is adorable and she put in such a brilliant performance... We were told, like, under no circumstances should you look at the raccoon. Under no circumstances do you approach the raccoon. She basically ran this set for that entire scene. It was that kind of vibe. She was cool. She’s a consummate professional.”

edit: Tweet by @ImmortalUpdates (Oct. 24, 2022) that has behind-the-scenes images from Levan Akin's instagram stories. The one currently in the carousel view says "bts, scoonie the racoon smelling my hair 😭❤️ @MillikensMovieAnimals" the photo shows Levan looking down while someone holds the raccoon over his head to let it sniff him.

I love Daniel, but calling Armand both Amadeo and Arun was a CHOICE
