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 ;]

(1) Lestat has a Flareon [X] named Louis. He feeds it a lot of Pokémon candy and occasionally uses it to beat Armand’s gyms just so he can rub it in his face.
^You had to pick a fire type for Louis… lookit this cutie!!! #headcanon accepted.
(2) Armand has a Pokémon named after Lestat; it’s a Magikarp [X].
^This offends Lestat. Lestat is offended. Armand explained it thusly: “Well it’s the only pokemon with a mouth as proportionately large to its body as yours is-”
(1) HC that Armand actually fell in love with his starter, but got frustrated with how low level it was. he went out to look for other of the pokemon, but ended up being to attached to the original that he spent an entire week focusing on just that pokemon in particular and now its super overpowered compared to everything else he has.
Awwww!
#headcanon accepted.
(2) Hc that Louis actually really likes caterpie but is embarrassed about it. He thinks they are the cutest thing ever, and they are the main reason he wont let Lestat look at his phone.
Yes definitely! Louis likes several grass and water types, and he loves collecting fanart of them. The whole coven would tease him if they knew about it bc he should only like FIRE types right???
#headcanon accepted.
[^couldn’t find that caterpie’s original source but I am 99% sure it’s by ItsBirdyArt]
(3) HC that Lestat has a pokemon named after all of his friends.
Yep! And sends them into battle based on current vampire happenings.
(1) I could see Armand getting OBSESSED with the game.
^Armand loves videogames, it’s practically canon.
(2) Louis Could Not Care Less; Marius gets annoyed by it,
^Marius is probably annoyed by it bc it creates a lot of stopping in public walkways, and occasionally Old-Man-Shouting-at-Cloud Marius a little bit agrees w/ the “It’s terrible, the kids these days staring at their cellphones!” argument. #headcanon accepted.
(3) Lestat takes ENDLESS selfies of himself with various Pokemon, and for the first month or two, cheats by using vampire abilities to run to all the pokestops and be master of multiple gyms.
^OH THAT SNEAKY BASTARD. But I think he’d let the younger kids beat him in battles, and act all dramatic about it. “How could you do this so easily?? I am crushed! I will cry myself to sleep tonight!”
(4) Daniel occasionally forgets how unhuman he looks and accidentally scares kids sometimes. And adults.
^Yes, especially with how still vampires can be, a kid has bumped into him once or twice, thinking he was a mannequin. #headcanon accepted.
To make this better, gonna take this as an excuse to bump some fanart, here are a few artists who draw LOTR and/or the Hobbit you should check out (in no particular order):
#yay!#I bet Louis loved Silmarillion most of all!#well in my head he did anyway#and I think Armand would be a fan of Melkor#as would Lestat if he bothered to read#feels#Lord of the Rings#J. R. R. Tolkien#Interview with the Vampire

Louis knows the LOTR trilogy by heart and he’s read all the books. He likes to try to sneak quotes in when possible:
The whole coven agrees that they’re all beautiful films, they’re modern classics in a way. The LOTR movies are watched more often at coven gatherings than the Hobbit movies, but more because of the story and characters than the cinematography Louis has a not-so-secret crush on Aragorn that everyone likes to tease him about!
Louis knows all kinds of obscure trivia, and has debates about them with Armand, who has also read them all. Lestat, feeling left out of these discussions, tried to read the books and fell asleep repeatedly. He mispronounced the names of characters and places a few times and refuses to try to read them again for fear of further ridicule.
Armand is very into the hobbits themselves as creatures and has gone to New Zealand with Daniel more than once to check out Hobbiton.
This post feels like someone out of the blue bought me something I’d wanted for a long time but had no money for.
#two of my favorite things#this makes me feel so sentimental#like I’m choked up#the vampire chronicles#the lord of the rings
Yah sure! First of all: @chrissydeath and @amadeo-child-of-the-renaissance are fab Armand cosplayers/artists and also @sheepskeleton, who has drawn Armand in modern outfits, they’d probably have better suggestions than mine but I WILL TRY.
I’d suggest looking at fanart of Armand, and unfortunately, I don’t have my #fanart collection divided into different characters so I pulled a few memorable ones out for ya here ;D Go ahead and jump in that tag for more, if u dare.
The crucial part of any Armand cosplay is his hair, of course, but everything else is p. much up to you. What would you headcanon he wears? Sometimes he likes to be all decked out in pricey fitted clothes, but he also has a sense of humor, he probably went for all kinds of silliness in the ‘70′s (and he still goes to 70′s themed parties bc of course he does), but I think he’s most comfortable in tight black pants or skinny jeans, a loose t-shirt (Daniel’s probably), and a well-worn light-weather jacket. He looks great in fur for winter, too.
In no special order, some fanart w/ Armand in modern fashion.
[X by @remarried, ~art gallery chic~ turtleneck and mid-thigh coat w/ what looks like trimmed black fur lining. Leather gloves would be good, too.]
[X by @sheepskeleton, keepin’ it casual with a plain collared cotton shirt and denim jacket]
[X Look it’s @chrissydeath as one of @garama‘s versions of Armand! ❤ such attention to detail right down to the belt! I really like Armand in a v-neck.]
[X by @superhiki, Diso inferno indeeeeed! AVIATOR SHADES YES]
[X by @garama,I am diggin’ Armand’s fringe top w/ V neck, tight magenta leather (or pleather!) pants, & classic converse kicks combo but Lestat looks wayyy hotter.]
