guys HELP my dad has discovered next level headcanons he was listening to my chemical romance and decided that louis and lestat fucking LOVE mcr and play it all the time, while armand HATES mcr but is too afraid to say. which according to father dearest is the reason he got with daniel, so he can finally get out his bruce springsteen records again. i want you all to know that he told me this in an extremely matter of fact voice. the tumblr genes are so strong.

Daniel: So this "Farm" thing, what is it really? A setup like in Blade 3 with humans in body bags, waiting to get drained?

Louis: Daniel!

Armand: The Farm is an elite school for underprivileged youth we run. They recieve a full scholarship to higher education too, and all they have to do is donate blood for 'medical research' once a month.

Louis: Seriously, Daniel, how could you ever think something so sinister?

Armand: What do you take us for, monsters?!

Daniel Molloy:

This scene is SO widely misinterpreted in the fandom istg! Grace is NOT being homophobic, LOUIS PUT HER KIDS IN DANGER, LEFT HER SON ON THE FLOOR CRYING, BROKE DOWN THE HOUSE DOORS AND TERRIFIED HER DAUGHTERS! OBVIOUSLY SHE'S HORRIFIED THAT HE AND LESTAT HAVE ADOPTED!

Grace always accepted Louis's vampire/queer nature. People forget she was really nice to Lestat & Jonah to the point that Jonah visits her after years and they have food together. She wanted to meet Lestat, teased Louis about his 'french white'. Grace tells Louis he's a 'better you' after she sees his vampire eyes. Calls them beautiful like church windows. Gives him chances upon chances. But she also lost a brother, her happy day ruined and then her older brother leaves her too. Decades of being rebuffed, her children being ignored. Having her financial situation thrown in her face at her mother's funeral by her older brother who THREATENS her. Like I love Louis, but when it comes to Grace, he ruined their relationship all by himself with a little help from Lestat. Dismissed his own sibling as 'human entanglements'. At the end, Grace only has resigned acceptance and still she leaves him with a kiss on the cheek. If I was his little sister, that damn tomb would NOT have been empty!

PS If you identify as Louis De Pointe Du Lac's little sister, you might be entitled to compensation for being abandoned lmao Grace and Claudia need to start a club. But also, do you all think Claudia better understood Grace's anger during Florence's funeral after realising that she would never be Louis's choice?

sometimes when I'm sad I just think of all the hilarity that must ensue at Vampire Court whenever someone has to do the vampire equivalent of the Walk of Shame across the castle grounds.

Louis, slinking out of Armand's room wearing his dress pants and one of Daniel's old oversized t-shirts. Or Armand, walking out of Lestat's room wrapped in bedsheets and carrying his dress shoes in one hand and his velvet suit coat in the other. The possibilities are endless.

“I want a child. I am like a mother…I want a child!”—Lestat De Lioncourt

I see people reference IWTV (2022) how Lestat is Claudia’s mother figure, her creator. It’s implied in the show, and in the season 2 finale when Lestat and Louis reunite where he says, “She looked at me in the end. Like a child looking towards her father. But I was not…” Not her father, but her mother, her maker.

I want to see season 3 reference this like the books. Maybe during his interview, Lestat denies being her father, saying that was Daddy Lou’s role, he was just- *Daniel cuts him off with a single eyebrow raised* ‘Her mother?’

Cue the sobbing we saw in the S3 teaser.

You can tell me whatever you want, but Lestat is the King of voice messages. And he sends them all to Louis. Not that he has to say that much, but 6 minutes is a must.

Hey, hope I’m not overstepping (if so, please ignore me), but do you wanna share some of your thoughts about Louis’ hand kink?

idk i've always just gotten this feeling that louis has a thing for lestat's hands?? his brain always seems to short circuit just a little bit more when lestat touches him. notable examples:

when he put his hand around louis' throat during their first hookup

them gently touching pinkies at the opera (bar none the gayest sentence i've ever typed lol)

louis watching raptly while lestat took notes at that same opera

lestat caressing louis' face before turning him and the way louis subconsciously dips his head toward it

louis infamously sucking lestat's thumb

that boy is horny for them hands and it's giving me all these fanfic ideas😈

okay so I gotta say, I don’t believe the whole “vampires cannot make good art” thing. I just don’t buy it. Like, call me biased, but as a writer, I don’t think you could talk the way they do and not be good at least at writing. There’s no way.

(you are a challenge every sunset, Saint Louis)

(I had powers now, and decades of rage to process - and so it was both random and unfortunate the man picked that night to dabble in fuckery) (I mean are you kidding me, that line is MUSIC)

(THE NAME! The name, unuttered in our home for twenty-three years - said over and over, until it was pounding in my head like a hammer!)

As such: what I personally think is actually happening is something far more mundane. Picture this - you've just been turned. Vampirism has enhanced everything about you, so your senses are like 10 times more distracting, you're stronger, faster, you're murdering nightly, you're most likely born out of some sort of trauma, and on top of that you've got years to compound whatever issues you already had - which, surprise surprise, are also somehow more intense now, whodathunk, mainly because your senses/murder/immortality are fucking with them BIG. Seriously, think about it: how much would vampire senses exacerbate symptoms of ADHD or autism? Would the species change, the nocturnal lifestyle, the mind gift contribute to dissociation, psychosis, schizophrenia? Would the killings and the loss of community be a factor in the way your depression might develop - or religious scrupulosity? OCD?

It's not that vampires cannot make good art. It's just that it becomes supremely difficult to do so, especially given that they cannot take human medication/finding a nocturnal therapist would be a bitch even if you're modern/Louiiss mon cher what eez a coping mechanisme y'know. I am convinced with 100000% certainty that, given enough time and dedication a vampire could absolutely make good art again* - though, in all fairness, very few of the ones we know possess the patience. Mind gifts/vampire speed + strength/inherited riches tend to destroy that sort of skill real fast; still, though, it's not a curse. It's symptoms disease.

* It is also possible, just as it is for humans, to develop all sorts of technical skills and still lack the “eye” for art (cough Marius cough) - but in that case, maybe try music?.. start writing? Get into ASMR? you’ve got an eternity to fuck around. Do whatever.

Wonder if type A blood is the least favorite amongst the vamps. Mosquitos tend to not be that attracted to it as much, so perhaps having that type offers a bit of protection against the supernatural.

Wow I didn't know that about mosquitos

Love the idea of some of kind of supernatural protection in the blood! But also part of me thinks it'd be hilarious if it's protection in the same way that chili peppers produce capsaicin to protect themselves from being eaten but end up appealing to those of us who enjoy spice 😆

Imagine the part of the reason Louis decided to do the interview instead of draining Daniel was because he took a sniff and went "nah that's too high on the scoville scale for me"

But Armand is the kind of vampire that's like bring on the ghost peppers so when he drinks from Daniel, he sighs contentedly, "Mm, spicy" while Daniel is woozy from blood loss and wondering for the first time if he should consider getting clean from drugs if his blood is somehow spicy

Lestat looks like he thinks mustard is spicy but I'd like to imagine he's got a taste for that tingly blood protection too, only at jalapeño level because "Some of us like to enjoy the taste of our food without our tongues going numb unlike le petit gremlin"

the way louis looks at armand in 1x03 after he said he’d turn daniel now and the way armand looks like his heart falling through his stomach

i can’t do this rn

[secret-oktober]

I have this headcanon where Daniel wrote an article about IWTV (the book) + the interview with Lestat on Rolling Stone, requesting as a payment to be put on the cover between Armand and Lestat exactly LIKE THIS, and I'm GOING MAD

[fanfictionroxs]

Now that we have confirmation from Delainey that Claudia and Daniel would be besties... for weeks, I've been thinking about these two and how similar they are beyond being the bandaids for Louis's shitty marriages. I love imagining them sitting in a room writing in their respective notebooks/diaries, just scribbling away the entire night on those pages, taking little breaks to mutter to each other about the meaning of some word or the phrasing of some sentence.. Louis standing at the door like a stern dad going "Children, have you seen the time! Off to bed both of you!" And maybe to Claudia, Daniel is "Uncle Danny" or "Dad" depending on his and Louis's relationship.. different universes, different results, but whatever it is, he could have been one of the few reliable adults in Claudia's life who adores her and understands her. And maybe she would have found additional friends in his daughters Leonora and Kate.. oh what could have been!

Just thinking about Armand and Daniel deciding to go to NYC Pride while staying at Trinity Gate, since they went together in the late 70s and the queer community in NYC always feels a little like home to them.

They convince Lestat to go by handing him a tube of body glitter. Armand cojoles a reluctant Louis to join them, but once there, Louis enjoys being out in the crowd. It reminds him of Pride back in San Francisco in the early 70s, the first time he ever saw such a celebration, and he's enamored with the idea of queer people being so out and proud.

Ash I’ve been bitten by the Louis!Simp bug, I need your headcanons about his romantic side please and thank you 🥹 (with specific partners or in general or both, dealers choice!!!)

JESS!!!!!! hello. in all forms but physical i am squeezing your shoulders and kissing your cheeks. welcome to the louis!simp club i am so glad you're here

anyway YEAH i think in terms of fanon, folks tend to underestimate Louis' interest/capacity for romance because he always has a bad time whenever anyone tries to show him a Grand Romantic Gesture but i just adhgdskfbhsjbfvdjhbf I think Louis is one of the most romantic characters in the series!!! he just shows it in ways that aren't obvious to those who don't know him well, but I know for a fact that this man is down so bad for Lestat and Armand and just wants to see them happy.

He strikes me as the kind of person who puts a lot of time and effort into the love he gives— whether that's spending actual time with his lovers (I always HC that his preferred love language is Quality Time) or hunting down a specific gift, or even taking the time to better himself!!

Like I know we talk about it a lot, but I think all the times throughout later canon where Louis dresses nicely for Lestat and Armand is such a great example of the type of lover Louis is. That's the closest thing to any Grand Love Gesture he'll get. We know if it were up to him, he would wear the same clothes for centuries. He doesn't care about his appearance, but he knows that Lestat and Armand do. He knows that they like to look at him, that they like to see him in fine things, just as he used to like seeing Claudia in fine things. They gift him clothes because that is their way of showing affection, and he knows he can ease Lestat's or Armand's anxiety just a little bit by accepting that affection and allowing them to fawn over his beauty, even if it makes him uncomfortable. Louis is someone who thrives with the comfort of the familiar; to step out of his comfort zone is a BIG DEAL to him, and I think we really see that reflected in Lestat and even Armand's narration any time they do see him all dressed up, like they always seem so surprised and awestruck LOL

ANYWAY yeah he cares so deeply for his loved ones like really truly, I think that Louis is the kind of lover who is just so thoughtful. Gift giving isn't necessarily his preferred love language, but he's ALWAYS thinking of Lestat and Armand, and it manifests in different ways. Some nights he'll barge into the room and read aloud an article he thinks they might find interesting, and he'll ask them questions and soak in every one of their opinions. Other nights he simply graces them with his presence and reads silently beside them.

And other nights still, Louis will revisit arguments that occurred a century ago, or even an hour ago, and will pick at old wounds not because he is truly upset, but because Louis is genuinely the kind of person who is constantly thinking about the things Lestat or Armand have said to him. He's constantly picking their words apart in his head, trying to find new meaning, and I know it's absolutely infuriating for Lestat, but there's something about Louis where, even as he's rebutting an argument from two years back, there's a passion in his eyes that's just so exciting and almost kind of sweet. You just KNOW that Louis loves to debate, not for the sake of winning (though he loves to win) but because he loves to hear his lovers' ideas and understand their psyche. Honest to god, I think Louis' ideal date night would be debating beside a cozy fire LOL

Okay sorry this is getting long! I don't have a lot of individual headcanons BUT one favorite headcanon that I've had in my back pocket and do want to turn into a fic one day is that Louis teaches himself to speak Armand's native tongue, so he can tell him he loves him with a language Armand has not heard for centuries.

Another headcanon I've been thinking about as well is like, in a similar vein to the clothes thing, Louis understanding how insecure Lestat gets at times, especially about how their relationship is perceived. So like, again with the comfort zone thing, I think Louis tries very very very hard to swallow his discomfort in order to occasionally hold Lestat's hand in public. Maybe even kiss him, who knows. He loathes being perceived, but he'll do it for Lestat.
