[and-fishing-equipment]

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?

“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.

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.

Louis: "Lestat is coming over for dinner later."

Armand: "Don't you mean Pestat? You'd have Pestat come over whilst I'm sitting here watching you coddle each other, and I'm picking lint off the sofa?? He was my ex too, you know?? He ROBBED me. Pestat Pestat Pestat Pestat. And what dinner? What are YOU going to "cook"??? Rats? Geese? We both drink human blood, stfu about you hosting a dinner party, you fool. My iPad is out of battery. I'll only let him over if you renew my Minecraft subscription, and he doesn't touch my Wii again. He definitely stole one of the Wii remotes. And he destroyed the tv when playing a round of golf because he simply HAD to win."

Louis: "....1 month. 1 more month subscription of Minecraft. That's final."

louis de pointe du lac has seen all seasons of the golden girls

[monathedefiant]

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😈

[pjobroadwayslut14]

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

[desertfangs]

Christmas Carol scenario where Marius opts to remain at Court over the holidays while most of the other Coven members travel and take vacations because "someone in charge has to stay behind in case," despite basically everyone begging him to take a break. So finally one night, rattling around alone in an empty part of the Chateau, he imagines being visited by 3 ghosts, who show him Christmases past (without Pandora, without Amadeo, without Bianca), Christmas Present (Armand, Daniel, Louis, and Lestat celebrating at Trinity Gate, Bianca and Jesse at Maharet's old compound, Pandora off traveling, etc) and Christmas Future: Marius alone in the Chateau watching over it alone, everyone gone, the castle starting to crumble in a way that feels far too reminiscent of him being in the shrine with the parents alone.

So he flies to Trinity Gate the next night, bringing lots of gifts and even manages not to comment on how silly he finds the practice of Christmas trees, and everyone is thrilled to have him there.

[leslutdepointedulac]

What do you think Louis first thought when he saw Daniel again as a vampire? What do you think was the first thing he said to him (or Armand) about it?

Ooh I think about this a lot 😭 So I think Louis' initial reaction to seeing Daniel would literally just be deer in the headlights, poor guy is gunna be questioning his reality. But I think he had somewhat speculated that Daniel might make it to vampirism eventually.

Obviously Louis knew that he had survived his attack and he couldn't really know for sure that he'd been brought over. But I think that Louis knew Daniel was determined and was going to stop at nothing to get what he wanted, regardless as to whether or not he did actually get it. Whereas Louis' intention was to scare Daniel into leaving it all alone, I don't believe he necessarily thought it would work, deep down.

So seeing Daniel as a vampire may have come as a surprise to Louis at first, but really, is it that out of the question that he is? There have been more surprising things that have happened lmao.

As for what he said to Daniel, it was probably something along the lines of "I see you got it in the end, immortality." And he probably asked how Daniel was coping with it, what his experiences had been so far (even though it hasn't been long at all).

And then with Armand, Louis might have (somewhat jokingly) said that he never took Armand for having a fledgling, and that it's a bit of a shock. But at the same time, that he was happy for Armand - happy that he'd found someone who he was so committed to, and loved so much that he couldn't bear to let him die. To the point where he was willing to break his own vow to himself. Louis was pleased that Armand had allowed himself to do something both for him and for Daniel. It was both a selfish and a selfless act, but that's okay. They both deserve that.

I also think that Louis was just happy that Armand found someone who could be committed to him in return. Something that Louis previously hadn't been for Armand. He may have even thought about his own time with him and thought about how unfair he'd been (though given the circumstances, it was more than understandable). Louis was glad Armand was with someone who gave him what he himself never did.

[lestatmorelikeletsnot]

You guys thought this hurt then wait til you hear about the first time Louis DOES admit that the idea of becoming like Those Who Must Be Kept alongside Lestat feels right: in his WEDDING VOWS.

Or about how thousands of years into the future when they are practically statues, no matter where their caretaker places them and despite never actually having witnessed either of them move, they ALWAYS come back to find them in their chairs, right next to each other, Louis’ hand resting on top of Lestat’s.

Or when you hear that one or the other of them can always be found with a thin, gold necklace chain dangling out of the other fist, that has never been successfully removed from either’s grasp by anyone.

WHAT THEN

[brian-kinney-apologist]

no but I really think that this wasn't the last time louis ever saw dreamstat, he 100% made some guest appearances during the 77 years of loumand's perfect vampire marriage :)

[lestcat-de-lioncourt]

Louis: "Talamasca, don't you mean Taramasalata bc that's more tasty :3"

Lestat:
