He collects books, obviously. Tons and tons of books, and he particularly likes finding first editions of classics. He knows where all of his favorites are around the house, even if they’re in some random drawer or placed under a pillow somewhere. He’s not tidy at all and, as I mentioned a few days ago in a headcanon post, he had a tendency to leave a trail of his stuff behind him when he gets up or leaves.
Besides books, he loves office supplies. A lot. He’s got dozens of notebooks that he’s never written in, and more nice, smooth-writing pens than he can remember. He constantly buys new things because he actually can’t remember where he put that-notebook-he-bought-last-week.
He also hoards various knick-knacks that he finds in stores that he thinks are pretty/useful/whatever. They end up everywhere.
omg you must’ve looked wickedly cool. It’s an excellent combo. The girlier the lace, the grungier the leather, the better.
Re: it being an iconic moment: Oh I agree! It’s one of his most iconic moments in the movie, for sure, specifically bc it relates to fashion and a little bit about just being comfortable; bc when sleeves are bunched up like that it limits your range of motion, not good for driving but i digress. AND because we can see his hands are back to normal, he’s definitely feeling better already, and ready for another adventure… with Daniel this time!
I actually don’t know! Purposely. Ignorance is bliss. I’m just grateful we haven’t suffered a crossover of BV/VC.
I’m gonna redirect you to hyperbeeb, who is taking one for the team and reading the first one in the- has read the first one and is now reading the whole series?! Her tag for this journey into madness is #Mary reads the blood vivicanti
Wrath: a headcanon about your character and their anger management
ooc; Louis is super passive aggressive. He’s very pretentious and always tries to keep up this courteous image, so when he doesn’t like someone, he very rarely comes out with it. He’s more likely to just make subtle hints at the fact that he dislikes/is angry at someone, particularly with people he’s not super invested in.
He generally lets his anger exist on a slow simmer below the surface, but Lestat’s an exception. Lestat can work him up very fast, and while he’ll play the passive aggressive game with him as well (ie: responding to texts with just smiley faces or one-worded replies, ignoring him around the house), he also has no problem speaking his mind to him. He loves when Lestat asks him if he’s angry of if something is wrong, since it gives him an excuse to go off, if it’s a non-major issue. If it’s something he’s really peeved about, he has no issue skipping the passive aggression and just going for gold. Their fights can be really explosive.
He doesn’t get in a rage very often, but when he’s really angry, he’s very quiet, cold, and calculating. He will ruin you lol. Probably in a fire.

what fresh un-edited hell is this
omfg amazon: [Becket] has been working for Ms. Rice since 2005, and he has spent that time
learning from her the craft of writing. He is also the author of “Key
the Steampunk Vampire Girl and the Dungeon of Despair.” h elp i’m fucking wheezing what IS THIS SHIT
THANK U FOR SHARING THIS COMPARISON OMG i’m speechless. #A heartbreaking work of staggering genius.
Daniel stared hard at the creature before him, this thing that looked human and sounded human but was not. There was a horrid shift in his consciousness; he saw this being like a great insect, a monstrous evil predator who had devoured a million human lives. And yet he loved this thing. He loved its smooth white skin, its great dark brown eyes. He loved it not because it looked like a gentle, thoughtful young man, but because it was ghastly and awful and loathsome, and beautiful all at the same time. He loved it the way people love evil, because it thrills them to the core of their souls.
Daniel about Armand. The Queen of the Damned, Anne Rice (via perladivenezia)
//I love this paragraph so much because it shows how Daniel is a weird, morbid, twisted guy and he loves Armand for exactly the monster he is, rather than being blinded to his nature by his beauty or something. Which is why I think Armand and Daniel, for all of their problems, have something real: Daniel has always seen through his masks and his appearance and still been fascinated by the creature beneath the shiny veneer.
Filed under: #gif #laces out #one of my fave moments in the movie for sure #delicately pulling the lace out of his sleeves #he knows its filthy #but its very dignified #like when he dusts himself off in front of the #children of darkness #refined and dapper even in filthy old lace #and that has to be Daniel’s leather jacket #bc hes not wearing it in the previous shot #and then he is #so i bet it was in the backseat or smtg #lestat #lestat de lioncourt #the vampire lestat
Wreck This Journal page of mine that I’m most fond of. I used a shimmery orange watercolor to smear my fingerprints down the page, then traced my hands atop and added all the elements to mimic a favorite vampire of mine.
( i-want-my-iwtv , I will be drawing more of the Brat Prince soon!)
