So I saw on of your post and one of your questions was what is your favorite scene in IWTV and to me that’s a very hard question to answer. I have tons of favorite scenes and I guess my favorite scene would have to be Claudia sharing a coffin with Louis. So cute. 😏

It’s definitely one of the sweetest and cutest moments in the whole story.

Also, there’s this parallel in that Claudia is cradling a doll against her, and Louis is cradling his doll (Claudia herself) against him. Claudia’s and the doll’s face are similar in their direction. Claudia has her cheek in the doll’s hair, and her hand in Louis’ hair, and Louis has his lips in Claudia’s hair. It’s all very cuddly *u*

Someone got it tattooed on them!

More melancholy nonsense after the jump.

In movie!IWTV, the first night Louis spends without Claudia since her turning is the night the Theatre des Vampires separates them, and beats him up. It’s one week after he turned Madeleine, so he may have been sharing his coffin with Madeleine, or alone, but just one week later, he spends the day locked in a metal coffin upside down with no cushioning, stripped of most of his usual comforts ;A;

Children sleep with dolls/stuffed animals for a feeling of safety, protective of their comfort object but also feeling like it can protect them back. Kids sometimes do sleep with their parents when they’re very young (that old, “Mommy I had a nightmare!” thing). This is where the mommy!Louis fanon comes from.

I like the idea that Louis and Claudia were protective and nurturing to each other in a way that Lestat couldn’t be at that time.

I want to pinch Lestats cheeks

♛Isn’t that sort of reserved for children? Are you calling me a child? I’ll fight you!!

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.

Like, personally, even though Marius is a strange blonde Roman, I still feel like he should have a Roman face, like a big nose and cheekbones that could cut glass and a strong chin.

Yah someone more like that. ;] Marius’ blondness comes from his mother’s side, IIRC. She was from Gaul:

“Marius, the tall one with the blue eyes, Marius whose mother came from Gaul and whose father was a Roman.“ – Raymond Gallant, Blood and Gold.
