I don’t think it gets more specific than that in canon, but you know Lestat would be throwing a massive hissy fit about it every other book if Louis was taller than him bc ‘Stat is the biggest baby about height.
Generally, height doesn’t matter much when you’re horizontal ❤
Awwww thank u so much! What a lovely poetic thing to tell me ❤
I try to make this thing what I would have wanted to find when I was 15 and couldn’t find the fanworks, the good screencaps, the whole fandom experience. Notes like yours let me know the mission is being accomplished ;]

A Nicolas lover, hm? YOU ARE JUST IN TIME for my latest VC casting choice for him, and other ppl might not agree but whatever: Benedict Samuel was so great in The Walking Dead mid-season premiere this past wknd, he’s so Nicki!
Hit the jump for a little moar re: Benedict Samuel.
He has everything I’m looking for in a Nicolas: the right age, brooding, sassyness, vulnerability, big loving eyes, cruel and sweet humor, and he can phase between all these so quickly. The acting seems to come from a deep understanding of his character’s motivations and emotional turbulence, waves overlapping the emotional palette.
Which can’t all be captured in one gif, especially from the limited gif options out there. So here’s one in which he’s obviously holding back from doing smtg, holding back the cynical comment that could destroy a room, hiding his vast darkness from whoever’s in a 5 mile radius. Getting dressed to go against his will present the Marquis’ son w/ new boots and the red velvet cloak as payment for ridding their town of the wolf pack that was threatening everyone.
This shot below is from The Walking Dead, but it also looks like that one time Lestat used telekinesis on Nicki in TVL, slamming him into the wall with an invisible fist, neither of them knowing what he’d done, or how it happened, in their old dressing room at Renaud’s, soon to be the Theatre des Vampires.
^Re: Lestat’s height is 6 feet = 182.88 cm, so yeah, round up to 183 if you like *u*
Here, have a little cut footage, from the trailer, bc of reasons.
Oh yes, I have heard of Kamijo! He is a huge VC fan.
[X] Kamijo is an A+ cosplayer ^_____^
@nocturneprince-blog informed us about a year ago that:
the Louis concept album is about the french revolution, according to kamijo’s interviews. it’s not about ITWV’s Louis. Idk the lyrics because I don’t speak japanese but the interviews def. have him saying it’s meant to be the monarch, not the vampire.
HOWEVER, Kamijo has said that he’s a huge fan of Lestat. IMO if you watch Versailles “Ascendead Master” PV you can really see the Anne Rice influence! Kamijo is to blame for my vampire chronicles obsession. XD
Very few of Kamijo’s lyrics are about sex (or if they are, they are subtle), but like, I’d say a good 50% of them, in both his solo work and with Versailles are about VAMPIRES. IMO I’d cast him as Lestat. I don’t even care that he can’t speak english.

^that last link has some Kamijo lyrics and this is very Lestat: “To the one who thirsts for the noble blood of royalty…”
This is a good question and it took me awhile to figure out the difference (and I might be wrong, so other ppl can reblog w/ their own explanation).
The confusion is bc “Verse” is an abbreviation for “universe,” and “AU” is an abbreviation for “Alternate Universe.” The difference is mainly in that the former is usually applied to RP and the latter is usually applied to fanfic and fanart, but both words can be used for both.
A “Verse” (lots of different words for this, different RPers make them up) is more for RPers, bc it’s a time period set in canon, or a non-canon time period chosen between the RPers who are roleplaying together.
– So you can have a Louis RPer and a Lestat RPer referring to “Verse:One Happy Family” (or whatever name they choose for it), which refers to the time period in canon in which those muses were living with Claudia and all three of them were happy, before Claudia started to actually grow up.
– Or, you can have a Verse that is NOT in canon, like “Verse:Italian Tales” (or whatever name they choose for it) in which a Gabrielle RPer and an OC RPer are roleplaying stories from Gabrielle’s childhood in Italy, which was not explicitly written about in canon.
An "Alternate Universe” is more typically used in fanfic or fanart in which the characters and canon have been rearranged somehow, like a female!Lestat, or the idea like: Enkil awoke in 1984 and he is mindlessly on the warpath, terrorizing the world, and Akasha is trying to enlist the other vampires to help stop him. My fave AUs are ones in which lots of canon, fanon, or headcanon is part of the story.
– There is an incomplete fanfic on AO3 called The Grim Brothers that basically casts the VC characters into a Grim’s fairy tale, and they are not vampires in it, but some things from canon are retained or reworked: Louis and David are stepbrothers, which is technically sort of true!
Chris Evans I see more as Daniel Molloy, don’t you think? Yeah, he has a Roman enough face/build for a young Marius but Marius is not likely to get a movie before Lestat does.
But hey, I wouldn’t stand in the way of Evans doing a screen test as Lestat *u* He is almost too muscular for my taste, but I’ll deal with it, somehow, lol.
This photoshoot by Tony Duran for Flaunt Magazine in 2004 was so Daniel to me:
1: “What fresh hell are we putting me through tonight Armand?”
Two more under the cut.
2: “What am I doing? I’m taking polaroids of you that’s what I’m doing now pose, you demon. I posed for you.”
3. “I’m exhausted Armand, it’s 4 am, so either pump me full of more caffeine or or smtg better ffs”
He actually says he’s 6 ft tall in canon, and google converts that to 182.88 cm. Much to Armand’s chagrin and before you ask, I don’t know Armand’s height, not sure if that was explicitly stated in canon, but it is fanon that he is on the shorter end of the coven.
