-Episode 2×06 “Afternoon Delight”
I have a lot of questions of the Theatre des Vampires. Is that their only show? Do they change it up? What about rehearsals? Do they kill someone for that too, or is it 100% improv? I like to imagine Armand shouting “Estelle you were early again! From the top people!”
Hey everyone, my funds are running low and I know I have to pay back loans in the near future (or so the emails keep reminding me), so I’m opening up commission slots for the summer in hopes that these will help tide me over until I have a stable job. I will only open two slots at a time, and it’s at a first come, first serve basis. Must pay upfront though Paypal, prices listed in the images above. Rates increase depending on the complexity of the project.

Reblogs are always helpful and greatly appreciated, and I thank you for taking the time to help me through my troubles!
Hey guys I would really really suggest commissioning her! She’s an amazing artist on top of being incredibly nice and easy to work with. I’m sure I sound like a cheesy ad right now but I can’t stress enough how great of an opportunity this is!
♠ (Louis) I did notice you were less critical of my wardrobe last night than you usually are. Is that really what you want for your self-awarded “reward” ? The last Shakespeare performance we went to put you to sleep in the first act. It was somewhat embarrassing, especially because you had insisted on overdressing us both for the occasion.
I actually don’t watch it enough to say I’m a real Fannibal but I’ve seen some. I loved the Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal Rising, and Red Dragon. Lestat and Hannibal could make a great Murder Brothers team.
Lestat would take the blood and Hannibal could take the bodies. Nothing wasted!
Bonus 1: (Lestat gifs are mine, Hannibal gifs by lecterings)
I could write a thesis on this. DON’T WORRY I WON’T DO THAT.
(BTW, if you’re just looking for music reccs, I have a VC fanmix, fanmix, and music tag for that)
First of all, you have to consider when are they listening to music? It can be solitary or social…
Armand ~
♫
Enjoys gathering a small audience and hiring live musicians to play complicated classical pieces. Or asking that vampires who can play things come and entertain them. He still loves Sybelle at the piano, even better that her repertoire has expanded beyond the Appassionata. Antoine has played lively duets with her.
Otherwise, Armand throws on huge wireless headsets while perusing art galleries. He’ll listen to anything others recommend to him, he shares a Spotify account so that anyone can try out his playlist, which has a broad spectrum of musical styles.
Armand is drawn to works that are used in ice skating competitions, oddly. It is a recent obsession.
David ~
♫
Musicals, anything upbeat. Has a love for Spanish culture, Flamenco, like the Gypsy Kings. Without much urging, Lestat will put on makeup and dress up in a Flamenco gown and dance with David in public!
David’s rainy-day guilty pleasure are artists like Michael Bolton, for when he’s home alone, feeling left out of the coven activities.
He also loves Sting; the song that hooked him was Desert Rose, which Marius sent him on a mix-CD because of the Arabic singer, Cheb Mami.
Louis ~
♫
It takes a long time for Louis to warm up to new bands, and he likes a few pieces by Hozier which Lestat added to Louis’ outdated iPod. It’s an older gen model but it still works fine, so Louis doesn’t see a need to replace it.
He prefers pieces without lyrics, ambient works that he can melt into while reading.
The Blade Runner movie that Armand got him to watch the first time made Louis a Vangelis fan and a fan of film soundtracks. He often plays the Gone Girl soundtrack.
Marius ~
♫
Daniel and Lestat have introduced him to alot of modern music. Marius will listen while he paints. Marius is the biggest Hozier fan of the four discussed.
I have to agree with you on that. It’s a very ballsy anthem, a very, “I may not know everything about this world, but when I get knocked down, hell if I’m gonna let it keep me down!”
There’s a mention of a guy in it, and it’s easy to see this as a young and fragile Lestat:
He was no more (He was no more) Than a baby then Well, he seemed broken hearted Somethin’ within him But the moment That I first laid Eyes on him All alone on the edge of seventeen
He’s only ever wanted to be loved, if you look at all the instances of him Doing the Thing, it was in pursuit of that goal. Religion taught him that to be loved, you must be Good. The idea is that Goodness makes one worthy of love, even when his religious beliefs have waned. The trouble is that his formative years were a confusing series of neglect and abuse (with little love from Gabrielle), the first real love he ever really shared was probably with Nicolas. And that ended pretty badly ;A;
So he still struggles with how to love (and not merely possess), and be loved (allow people to love him).
♛ OH THAT IS RUDE. It didn’t take much poison then to bring me to my knees, did it? Well I’ll have you know that I spent the last few years building up an immunity to iocane powder *snorts*
Alright it wasn’t iocane powder she used. But the point stands, I can’t be poisoned with such a small dose of anything now.
♛ You wonderful creature, you’ve always deserved it all and more, mon bijou *embraces and showers her with kisses*
High pitched giggles escaped her as Lestat showered her with kisses. They felt different than the kisses of her youth, and she knew now that he no longer had to restrain his immortal strength around her. “You are too much Lestat. How are you? Well I hope?”
♛ “Better now that I’m with you.” He nuzzled her nose with his, the way he’d done when she was a child. “Are you real? Or justmy daydream?” It was a silly old game, but how she had loved it long ago, improvising with such an idea, sometimes proudly claiming fairy lineage.
How different to hear her voice now, the laughter richer than in her youth, still retaining the same charming cadence. Sharpened with the blood. Her delighted facial expression raised the wisp of an image of her little girl face. It was too much, and not enough, so he lifted her up into his arms and twirled her in the air once, twice, with his face buried in her lush mane to conceal the tearing up. Her scent was mostly the same, berry-filled deserts
freshly baked, let to cool on a sill.
When he set her down again, he felt of her arms, her shoulders, flesh of my flesh. Strong she was. A fierceness in her eyes now that was not childlike at all. Challenging. She had not yet demonstrated her strength for him, and he was eager to see it.
