Another typical evening at the Rue Royale.
I will never ever be able to watch this scene without thinking about this gifset and I think you should know I love you for it, but also hate you a bit.

Le génie du mal [The genius of evil, aka; Lucifer]; Guillaume Geefs
“The statue was originally a commission for Geefs’ younger brother Joseph, who completed it in 1842 and installed it the following year. It generated controversy at once and was criticized for not representing a Christian ideal.The cathedral administration declared that “this devil is too sublime.” The local press intimated that the work was distracting the “pretty penitent girls” who should have been listening to the sermons.” [x]

> Make sculpture of the devil
> No this sculpture is too hot for church
> Make another one
> It’s even hotter

Tyger Tyger, burning bright,
In the forests of the night;
What immortal hand or eye,
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

Is it possible that they like recycle the jewels from the old lady with the poodles and gave them to Claudia during the ball scene? They look so similar!
Good eye! It’s not exactly the same, but very similar.
It’s worth mentioning that Claudia and that widow have some things in common:
- wearing yellow.
- blonde (well the poodle lady probably dyes it, but it counts).
- they both seem to be pretty in love with Louis
who isn’t? -
Louis almost kills them.
In the book, the dress Claudia dies in is actually yellow silk *cries* And in the book, Lestat would occasionally bring Claudia jewelry from his victims bc he’s all about not letting things go to waste 😉
How about this, though: Louis wears the same two rings for his ENTIRE AFTERLIFE.

Armand: Your cigarettes smell awful.
Daniel: They clear the smell of your blender concoctions.

So much for an early night.. ‘’X-D Just a bit of fun art on the side :“-3 / It’s been a while since I got the chance to draw something mature!! Hurhur~~
We know a lot about Lestat’s mother Gabrielle but what about his father. The only thing I know is that he died in IWTV (the book).
That’s a really long answer, we don’t know ALL that much about his backstory, just that he was a Marquis (never named) in a little rural village in France, so he has some local power/respect in title, but he’s really poor, is not a particularly good husband or father, he’s blind by the time Lestat is 21… and we know that he treated Lestat BADLY during his childhood. Louis described a little of his time living at Pointe du Lac in book!IWTV.
In short:
For more, read The Vampire Lestat (the Marquis is in the beginning)(gif below used for humor, not intended to be rude!) The Marquis is not mentioned again in any later book. He does not get to vampire.
There is some fanon that the Marquis’ physical abuse of Lestat extended further, but that’s not in canon. If that were true, it could be part of Lestat issues with relationships and consent.
