Louis de Pointe du Lac & Nicolas de Lenfent
Based off of the Le Mort Joyeux plot, in which Louis and Nicolas meet in 1970s San Francisco.
Louis’ hand followed the wooden banister as he ascended the steps behind the other vampire. He moved slowly, reaching the third floor a few paces after this “Nicolas.” He could hear music playing in an occupied apartment down the hall, a recording of The Beatle’s Hey Jude. It smelled of incense here too; bohemian indeed.
“Take me to heaven or hell.” They were the first words he’d spoken since they’d left the bridge.

The other man’s voice had a soft, beautiful cadence to it, slipping into Nicolas’ ears like a secret. He turned around to face him, his face gentle, playfully inquisitive. He stepped forward, closing the distance between them, breathing in the vampire’s scent, the sound and smell of the blood pumping underneath his flesh. He shrugged, gracefully, his eyes finding those shocking green ones. “How about a little of both, hm?”ғᴏʀ ᴛʜᴇ ᴍᴇᴍᴇ, “sᴇɴᴅ ᴍᴇ ⚜ + ᴀ ᴜʀʟ ᴀɴᴅ ɪ’ʟʟ ᴍᴀᴋᴇ ᴀ ɢʀᴀᴘʜɪᴄ ᴏғ ᴏᴜʀ ᴍᴜsᴇ’s ʀᴇʟᴀᴛɪᴏɴsʜɪᴘ ᴀᴇsᴛʜᴇᴛɪᴄ.”

So, I’ve actually stopped reading the VC after “The Vampire Armand” (of course I picked up again at “Prince Lestat) – what do you think, should I read “Merrick”?
Yes, READ THE BOOK!
Idk, I would always advocate reading the books, as cracky as some of them can be, bc there are always moments that are really great! Single lines worth digging up, some phrasing that hits you #Right in the Feels. Don’t you want to know what happened to Louis, David, and Lestat, before PL? You don’t have to agree with it but the ride is always at the very least stimulating… you can always just skim it for plot points if reading it is too much of an investment.

If you like Louis, especially yes! This is a story he gets a starring role in. It’s cracky but heartbreaking, and it changes the dynamics of the relationship between Louis and David, and between Louis and Lestat, and also there’s a strong FEMALE character?! Who is NOT a Mary Sue (ok she has some Mary Sue elements but whatever I liked her)? Woah.
It also changes Louis physically, gives him the powers we see him use in PL, and it also allows him to experience a new level of intimacy with Lestat (and others potentially) that he refused to have before. It changes him emotionally, but we don’t get too deep into the specifics on that, but I think we’re starting to see those effects in PL.
My main issue with it is that it would have been SO MUCH MORE fun from Merrick’s (or Louis’!) own POV, rather than David’s. David was largely a third wheel and I didn’t really care about his youth in the jungles. More interested in the voodoo that Merrick could do, and especially how she used it on Louis ;A; <—Hopefully not really spoiling anything there bc I’m being really general in that statement.

antoineandthepiano made this lovely aesthetic pic set and description about Merrick, but there ARE spoilers there, FYI. antoineandthepiano’s description is gr9 tho and worth being spoiled for. YOU MAKE THAT CHOICE YERSELF THO.
I don’t remember if Merrick spoils any other major plot points from books that come before it, I don’t think so. I recall it as being almost a standalone novel.

What’s in a name? A lot when we’re talking about Armand from The Vampire Chronicles. In The Vampire Armand, Armand breaks down his life for you. However I like to break down his novel/life into 3 parts according to his given names:
- Andrei (Given by his Father: Ivan)
- Amadeo (Given to him by his Master: Marius)
- Armand (Given to him by his fellow Coven member aka Child Of Darkness: Allesandra)
Instead of rambling on here is a concise summary of Amadeo vs. Armand – click here. Thank you to @faceofabotticelliangel .
I just don’t think I could write anything that could do Armand justice after reading @faceofabotticelliangel ‘s post.
Enjoy the photo-set!

The Vampire Chronicles Characters: Lestat de Lioncourt
I was the vampire Lestat again. I was back in action. New Orleans was once again my hunting ground. And I was asking myself, Lestat, what do you want to do now? Old rules didn’t matter to me now. I wanted to break every one of them.
In a perfect world, the casting of Lestat for the new movie is someone THIS decorative, but with the acting skills to ensure Lestat is more than a one-note spoiled brat. (Because while he’s the Brat Prince, the stupid egotistical rock star vampire has layers.)
(I’ve mentioned that Lestat is one of my favorites, right? Well I’m mentioning it again.)
