The Vampire Chronicle Characters

Cate Blanchett as Gabrielle de Lioncourt
…It was the same the first time I bore a child,’ she said. ‘I was in agony for twelve hours, and I felt trapped in the pain, knowing the only release was the birth or my own death. When it was over, I had your brother Augustin in my arms, but I didn’t want anyone else near me. And it wasn’t because I blamed them. It was only that I’d suffered like that, hour after hour, that I’d gone into the circle of hell and come back out. They hadn’t been in the circle of hell. And I felt quiet all over. In this common occurrence, this vulgar act of giving birth, I understood the meaning of utter loneliness.

re: vc casting. What about Samuel Larsen as Louis?

Maybe! I haven’t seen him in anything, so I don’t know acting-wise, but physically I think it could work.

^He has that good narrow-ness of face that I headcanon for Louis… or Nicolas. He has these nice slightly feathered eyebrows, light eyes that will work with green contacts…a nice set of full lips.

TBH from these gifs, there’s a sass and a mischief that just feels more Nicki to me!

Also, I’m gonna reblog a fanart of him that I think has a Nicki-esqueness to it, watch for it 😉
