♛ Oh you think so, ma chérie? Louis refuses to learn the language of Fashion?
Claudia and I spent years revising Louis’ wardrobe. He knows he is a true ‘winter,’ and that jewel tones flatter his natural coloring. Even in the tatters he seems to prefer, he still adheres somewhat to the color schemes we trained him to choose *winks*
He cares on occasion, and really, when we’re out together somewhere that he needed to dress up for, he makes it look effortless!
♛ I’m limited to just 5 things? There are countless things I adore about Louis, not merely “like,” as especially overused as the word “like” is these days *grumbles*
1. His manner of speaking and word choice always… has a dignity to it. It’s something he’s always had, but I would think it’s reinforced by the kinds of books he’s absorbed over the years.
2. His hands, the long fingers, shapely nails, the sight of his hands on my body, the nails clawing at my skin, it’s tantalizing. During the time we lived together with Claudia, I would watch across the room, I yearned for those hands, helping her with shoe laces or gloves. His hands still have a forbidden-fruit aura.
3. He tastes like home. Is there another way to describe it? Skin, tears, blood, he is my favorite flavor *grins*
4. The picture we cut when I catch our reflection in glass. Whether he lets me dress him or not, with his arm hooked in mine, at a brisk pace, we compliment each other.
5. His capacity to love me not only despite my flaws, but his patience to help me overcome them, the care he took when I first awoke from a long and miserable nightmare of a coma, even when I was nothing near like myself except in appearance… although I insisted I was fine, he could always see the broken parts of me and sought to help me mend them.
Dieu but what would he say about me? I don’t deserve him, do I? *sighs*
(//BTW devilsfool answered these, too! I like their answers as well)
Movie!IWTV sorta gives the impression that Louis was born in New Orleans and only briefly has Lestat admitting to coming from France. They are actually both from France! (and BTW, New Orleans is a city in Louisiana, which is a state in the USA).
The Pointe du Lacs came to the US from France at some unspecified point in his life, but most people headcanon it was when Louis was a young child, too young to remember.
The de Lioncourts* lived in a poor provincial town in the middle of nowhere, aka the Auvergne region, in France:
*Note that Lestat’s mother was Italian (she grew up in Naples) so he and his brothers are all technically half-French, half-Italian.
As far as I know, after 400 years, 21 years of torturing myself with this trash i love, that scene was unscripted, but it was probably storyboarded!
Although I don’t have them for this scene, I’ve found a few storyboards by Martin Asbury for this movie. Someone needs to pry it from him!!!
I did check, this scene is not in the April ‘92 script, but much of that script changed. Someone out there must have a more recent script… There are several that were written after the movie came out, those are transcriptions of what was released in the final cut, not the last shooting script.
Send me a misconception you think people have about my character and I’ll explain if it’s true or not
That’s a myth Lestat created in order to dissuade any possible suitors from appearing in his absence.
“My eyes are gray, but they absorb the colors blue or violet easily from surfaces around them.” – TVL
His first study of his own reflection after being turned: “and my eyes had been transformed from their usual blue to a mingling of violet and cobalt that was softly iridescent.” – TVL
Magnus, in TVL: “…and the blue sky fixed forever in your eyes.” Magnus, TVL
This is if we trust Magnus, do we really? IIRC, it’s the only description we have of mortal!Lestat’s eye color. IDK! Lestat supposedly shares his mother’s features
and coloring
(”In fact I resemble her at least superficially.” –TVL) and she is described as having blue eyes:
Lestat, in TVL about mortal!Gabrielle: “And she had very clear cobalt blue eyes fringed with thick ashen lashes.”
Khayman, in QOTD: “There wasn’t a particle of fear in her cold blue eyes…”
Lestat, in TVL about vampire!Gabrielle:
“Her eyes opened. Violet blue and glittering,”
Okay so I can’t dig up every single quote about Lestat’s eyes from other’s POVs bc c’mon I am human, so here’s a few:
Marius, in QOTD: “The ice-blue eyes, darkening with laughter…”
Khayman, in QOTD: “… [Lestat’s] violet blue eyes.”
Jesse, in QOTD: “[Lestat’s] pale crystalline blue eyes…”
Akasha, in QOTD: “to see the light in your blue eyes,”
Merci beaucoup! Good to know I am achieving the goals of interruptive-laughter-causing and bursting blood vessels through fanworks! ❤ YOU SHALL CONTINUE TO GET MORE OF THIS HIGH QUALITY MADNESS.
Cross-stitch bookmarks with VC quotes! I admit that my initial reaction is Yes DO THE THING!
Second reaction, must warn you, this type of fanwork is toeing the line of copyright infringement… :-
HOWEVER, I have seen Etsy items (and other sites) that have products which used VC quotes over the years, so I’m thinking that quotes may be acceptable… or not worth the legal battle to the copyright holders.
Here’s an example of one thing I found just now:
It’s a decorative tile that says: “Your body’s dying. Pay no attention. It happens to us all.” which is a movie!IWTV quote, not canon. It even has Lestat’s name on it, since he says it, and it’s sitting there for sale. I feel like you’re safer with movie quotes, but it’s your choice.
So as far as things to use for your bookmarks, dig around in my #quote and #actual quote tags.
As far as a few of my fave movie!IWTV quotes…
Anyone have any quotes they want on bookmarks? Send it to andwefaeries!
You’re so welcome!
That’s the original purpose -and still a major one- of my blog: to be a collection of inspiration to the fanartists in making more yummy fanworks to feeeeed the VC addiction of all of us adorable fanged little trash kittens ❤
… if you are implying Lestat is a much bigger bitch and has something going on with tons of other characters…
pssssst, you’re absolutely right.
I think I can guess who you are! You really like looking for buttons to push, don’t you? Very Lestat of you ;] I won’t tell.
It’s not a fandom law that we don’t talk about Dora, it’s sort of one of our inside jokes, like the fact that Lestat only writes with Wordstar even now.
I don’t reeeeeally want to spoil you, but you can probably already guess what happened between them. Dora and Lestat shared a very intimate experience in Memnoch the Devil that had not occurred in canon before, and has not happened since, but it’s a situation that anyone interested in vampires might have wondered about before. Lestat was very tired, it had been a long trip, and Dora was happy to console him in this *very special* way.
There were alot of mixed reactions to it, if you want to be spoiled, you can read my #Dora tag, or hit the jump.
So I don’t deny that it was gross and bizarre but I think of this scene – at certain monthly intervals – and consider it from her perspective. She seemed to like it. He seemed to like it. It went from dubcon to consensual in about 3 seconds… and she seemed empty afterwards?? He actually might have saved her a few $ on feminine products?? SUCH A GENTLEMAN.
