They gather together and be sociable! There’s an ugly sweater contest, just to irritate Lestat (it really does!). Daniel usually wins bc he is willing to spend hours hunting second-hand stores to find the VERY WORST, and most authentic, tacky holiday sweaters. In fact Louis lets him choose. Without fail, Lestat has to rush Louis home to tear off such an abomination.
#Your headcanon may vary on this, but Thanksgiving, being an American holiday, is probably ignored by most of the coven. Lestat has thrown feasts for small groups of gangsters bad guys, however, just to really enjoy drenching them in the finest alcohol so he can sample whatever’s in fashion. Sometimes Armand, Daniel, Marius, or others, join him in this.
Marius, too, throws feasts for mortals, but when he’s hosting, they’re as safe from him as the most of the Palazzo boys were; he loves the chance to argue things like politics and the current trends in cinema with collegiate people.
Xmas, too, may not be celebrated by all the vampires since most are secular in their beliefs, but they all like to do some measure of decorating for it. Lestat goes all out, with the biggest tree he can fit in the Rue Royale, layering it with ornaments and tons of tinsel (the poor cleaning crew are still finding bits of it 6 months later), and Louis has become very enamored with LED string lights. The fountain and plants in the courtyard is thoroughly threaded with lights in several pastel colors by December 1.
SO WE (by “we” I mean Lestat and I, hehehe)(or maybe the royal “we”) SAW CRIMSON PEAK AND WE HAVE THOUGHTS ABOUT IT. He had more humorous thoughts than I did. Worthy thoughts shall be transcribed and posted tonight, hopefully.
And as I recall, I think, we both kinda liked it. So that’s one thing we got.
Or are you… do you mean my ass? It’s so strange that pinching, smacking, really any touching of the butt is so much fun to do. What reaction are we looking for when we do it? Anything! A jump, a giggle, but really I think we’re trying to motivate (or figure out whether there’s a chance of) sexytiems.
Louis says he hates it when I do any of that to him but it so often leads to a good result that I can tell you he’s sending mixed messages on that *winks*
I love it when he pinches my cheeks. Face or otherwise.
Lestat = Dionysus – Let’s just get that out of the way right now bc it’s easy. And in fact I think Neil Jordan would agree; he has Lestat playing with a bunch of grapes in movie!IWTV and that could be a reference to Dionysus.God of wine, parties and festivals, madness, chaos, drunkenness, drugs, and ecstasy… He was depicted in art as either an older bearded god or a pretty effeminate, long-haired youth.
Gabrielle = Artemis – Works except for the virgin part, but I’ll let you have this one, Anon. Virgin goddess of the hunt, wilderness, animals, young girls, childbirth, plague, and the moon.
Louis = Apollo – Not that Louis is skilled at making music, but he does have a very deep appreciation for music, art and literature, poetry specifically, and also he’s drop-dead-gorgeous so y’know, there’s that. PLUS, this would make him Artemis’ twin brother and that works, too, if Gabrielle is Artemis! God of music, arts, knowledge, healing, plague, prophecy, poetry, manly beauty, archery, and the sun… In sculpture, Apollo was depicted as a very handsome, beardless young man with long hair and an ideal physique. As the embodiment of perfectionism, he could be cruel and destructive (OH LIKE BURNING DOWN BUILDINGS?), and his love affairs were rarely happy WELL THAT SOUNDS LIKE POINTE DU LAC.
Armand = Hades – Okay I love Armand, but this is more for when he was the coven master! –King of the underworld and the dead, and god of regret.
Daniel = Hermes – I actually think Daniel fits this better by the description than Armand, since it was Daniel who started what would become the written record of the Coven of the Articulate: God of boundaries, travel, communication, trade, language, and writing… Hermes is the messenger of the gods… He was depicted either as a handsome and athletic beardless youth…
Marius = Zeus – Okay so I am running out of dudes at this point, but actually, Marius is a father figure at least through books #1-4. In a way he was the Patriarch of the vampires while taking care of TWMBK. King and father of the gods, the ruler of Mount Olympus and the god of the sky, weather, thunder, lightning, law, order, and justice.
Pandora = Athena – I actually struggled with Pandora, probably not as self-confident as Athena, but she has the debate, wisdom, peace skills so there u go. Goddess of intelligence, skill, peace, warfare, battle strategy, handicrafts, and wisdom.
David = Poseidon – Okay so I picked this one based more on the physcial description but also bc David is strong, and David first act as new vampire was to take a swim in the ocean. God of the sea, rivers, floods, droughts, and earthquakes. In classical artwork, he was depicted as a mature man of sturdy build with an often luxuriant beard, and holding a trident.
Maharet = Demeter – She was the Matriarch of the coven and the Mayfair family so all that motherly stuff. Goddess of grain, agriculture and the harvest, growth and nourishment.
Jesse = Hestia –
Works except for the virgin part, but Jesse doesn’t seem to have had notable ships in her life so this works well enough. Virgin goddess of the hearth, home and chastity… she appeared as a modestly veiled woman… In some accounts, she gave up her seat as one of the Twelve Olympians in favor of Dionysus, and she plays little role in Greek myths.
Mael = Ares – God of war, bloodshed, and violence… Homer portrays him as moody and unreliable.
Akasha = Hera– Queen of the gods and goddess of marriage, women, childbirth, heirs, kings, and empires… Her sacred animals are the heifer, the peacock, and the cuckoo.
No worries at all! I only wish I could give you a better answer. You’re quite right, I think Pandora-specific fans are a minority as I rarely see any action about her on my dash… :-
There was a Pandora RPer around at one point, vita–ante–acta. I would go into her archive and find ppl she interacted with, they may be your ppl!
I only have 2 tags for her, and they’re pretty low on content but here ya go: #pandora and #the vampire pandora.
Anyone else here love Pandora? Reblog this for anon!
