I have a little treat for you first, the voice of Nicolas! Well, kinda sorta.
[X ^ This is model Tomek Szczukiecki who looks hella more mysterious w/ his face cropped like dis]
@devilsviolinist had posted this audio clip of Nicolas’ normal/contented voice, and @colourful-jack informed us that it is in fact ballet dancer Jonathan Klein [audio from this vid here]. While Klein does not look at all like Nicolas, listen to the audio clip, the voice is great!
I have to consider the others some more but I didn’t want to make you wait any longer for at least some reply ;]
Well yeah, there have been trapdoors in theatres for ages. A trapdoor wasn’t necessary for this since Lestat got the info of Nicolas’ death from a letter. If you mean that even Eleni was fooled, then, yes, that’s possible. But I think Eleni was close to Nicolas and would be in on the scheme.
So who knows, maybe Eleni wrote the letter at Nicolas’ request, or Armand’s request… maybe Nicolas himself asked her to do it. We don’t know his reasons for suicide just as we don’t know why he’d fake his death. If he faked his death, we can probably assume he didn’t want Lestat to know he was alive or try to search for him, EVER. Eleni and Armand are both still in canon as far as Prince Lestat, so only they can answer these questions.
@devilsviolinistwrote a good post on Nicki survival theories here. Check it out.
Did AR intend that death to have been faked or real? We have unreliable narrators *shrug* She hasn’t made any hints as to Nicolas resurfacing in the next book, but at this point IT WOULDN’T SURPRISE ME. In fact, I would love for us to have our very own Civil War
[And it was paired with an image that appears to be of model Tomek Szczukiecki][so maybe it’s him?]
Sorry to tell ya that I DON’T KNOW WHO THE AUDIO IS FROM ;A; AND THE ORIGINAL POST DIDN’T TAG HIM, EITHER. @devilsviolinist was the original poster and I’m not sure if that mun is active… try asking them and report back if you find out.
ooc; Who would have guessed that Lestat and Nicki were lovers? I mean, we got a fade to black with them and then received every detail about the blood on Amadeo’s ass from Marius’ whip.
YES! Someone draw this… unionthesalmon? permanentglitter? Beuller? Would u draw Lestat carting sweet baby Jesus behind him in a Radio Flyer wagon with a little entourage of the cutest orphans… maybe he’s bringing them to Dora the nun…?
In no particular order: Lestat/Louis, Lestat/Daniel, Lestat/Armand, Lestat/Marius, Lestat/Akasha, Lestat/David, Lestat/A fancy chair, Lestat/Big silk pillows, Lestat/A cameo collection, Lestat/his reflection in a mirror…
*Glares at the list of ships, noticing a particular ship missing.*
Lestat/Nicolas = not as hot as Lestat/A fancy chair. (just kidding ahhh! Omission was an honest mistake! The ellipsis should’ve covered that ship but I’ll see myself out)
Anne Rice reveals the UK cover for the upcoming novel, Prince Lestat. (Check her FB page).
ooc: I don’t like it 😦
Do you know what I hate? Smile lines. They’re right up there with wrinkles. In fact that’s what it is. One big fat wrinkle. Lestat doesn’t have wrinkles. /// but omfg what if Lestat was real and this was actually him and he was having a fucking panic attack bc we all disliked his photo???
