@cup-of-lixx pointed out that I’ve been shouted out on Edge and Back outside of tumblrland! “A true beacon of light for all of us Vampire Chronicle fans.” *u*
Omg, *facepalm* I knew this would come up at some point…
That is part of my blog layout revisions. There’s gonna be a BEAUTIFUL Navigation/Tags page, categorized by topic, w/ all the most popular tags bc as you may know I tend to add further commentary in the tags that probably wouldn’t be very useful in finding what you’re looking for.
What are you looking for? Then I can try to give you the tag(s) for it! You can also message me privately, if you prefer.
Yes, Louis is living with Armand & Co. in a brownstone in NYC, in PL. We don’t know if he’s visiting, or that’s his main residence, but everybody knows his real home is the flat in NOLA on Rue Freakin’ Royale and nobody can tell me otherwise.
In other books, Louis is described as living in various little shacks, with hardly anything but a desk and stacks of books. An ascetic life indeed, because he prefers to live through the books he reads, or go out and experience the world itself. He doesn’t seem to need souvenirs of places he’s been, or have the same nesting instincts that Lestat has always had; Louis doesn’t need velvet drapes and Italian silk couches. Lestat needs these things bc deep down he’s still that borderline-poverty-stricken young actor who had to sleep on lumpy pallets in a drafty little apartment in Paris ;A; With his wealth, he tries to create a sanctuary where he lives. He wants what he never had in mortal life.
Louis is rich bc he was a plantation owner and owned property in NOLA. He was careful with banking and originally thought Lestat chose him for his money. AS IF! Although Pointe du Lac plantation burned down ;A; Louis had probably been investing profits from the plantation for years, he was running it for awhile before Lestat showed up and it all went to shit real fast.
Louis is also a talented gambler, nobody can match his poker face, he has a knack for cards, and can win huge sums to invest.
Louis also loves books, and probably is in the vintage book business.
Louis also probably gets money from Lestat, if he needs it.
//You know what we all want, anon? We all want the people who send anon hate and form hate campaigns, and start drama by spreading rumors to find new hobbies (knitting is good! And you can do it alone, without anyone bothering you!)
We want our friends to be able to log onto their RP accounts and not find an inbox full of hateful messages. We want people to be able to RP with anon on because anon is a big part of this game. We want to come here to blow off steam, distract ourselves from boring vampire-free reality for ten minutes, and to celebrate this series of books together. We want these kinds of messages to cease.
What does the anon hate accomplish? BC honestly it’s getting redundant at this point. We got the message, we know what you think you want.
You know what would actually make you happy, anon? Probably not wasting your time sending messages like that, but instead, spending that time on a more rewarding hobby. If that means celebrating these books together, great! If it means something not fandom-related like knitting, ALSO great!
