Do you think that the turning of Louis would have been inevitable even if he had gone to France like his brother wanted? Also, How do you think Louis’ history and personality would have changed with a different sire? Also, Hi :)

Hi, back! *waves*

[^Mortal Louis opening up his shirt for reasons]

If Louis had gone back to France like his brother wanted, well… who knows what his life would have been like? His brother wanted him to sell “everything we owned, and use
the money to do God’s work in France.”
So, would they move the women into a convent to be nuns; freeing Louis and Paul to become priests or monks? In Paris, or some other part of France? 

If Louis was a priest in Paris, would he have drawn the attention of any of the vampires there? The Theatre des Vampires was set up and had been going for some 10 years by the time Lestat met Louis. Armand was there. If he met Louis as a mortal, would he have been interested in him at all? I don’t know. Part of what drew Armand to Louis was his connection to Lestat. Would Louis still be as appealing without that connection? Would he be appealing as a companion to any other vampires roaming around in France at that time?

Those are all questions to consider. 

I don’t think anyone would have chosen him to vampire, if he were some French priest, probably dissatisfied with his life choices. They might have just killed him for fun, though. The TdV killed innocents and they seemed to really enjoy killing the beautiful ppl, and he still would have been attractive enough for that.


As to Louis having a different maker, that’s why I couldn’t answer this ask sooner. It’s too big a question for me!

Physically, he probably would have been better off. He was Lestat’s 3rd in about a decade (and Lestat himself was still very young!), contributing to his ‘weakness’ as a vampire, and lack of some of the vampiric gifts that others can get when they’re turned.

But I think no matter who turned him, or how strong he was, he would still struggle with the whole killing people issue. Marius might have helped guide him into it more slowly. As problematic as Marius became later, in earlier canon we knew him as a mentor figure, and if he had just been that, with no Amadeo situation, he might have been a good maker for Louis. 

I’ll open it up to everyone else bc it’s just too big a question: Who would have made a better maker for Louis, and why? 

Dear Lestat: According to David, while Louis was bewitched by Merrick, he appeared in your New Orleans flat wearing a “handsome gray velvet suit, and…dark violet tie.” Given Louis’ well-known indifference to fashion, and given the dearth of such outfits pret-a-porter in the year 2000, where, one wonders, did Louis find such an ensemble on short notice? Did your darling fledgling BORROW YOUR CLOTHES to impress the girl?

Mademoiselle King, I am struck by your attention to detail, well done *applauds*

Ordinarily, you might think that information like this would send me into a froth of jealous rage, that he would wear my clothes to court a witch while I lay incapacitated and alone on the cold stone floor. The real fury was at the larger issue, that she had plotted this all out and ensnared him, and that we almost lost him forever! What he was wearing, destroyed, presumably to impress her, was a misdemeanor.

Fury. Death for her for her crimes… would have happened, had I not heard the entire story from everyone involved. I heard it in more variation than I would have liked, considering that it all boiled down to – as you put it so concisely – that Louis was completely bewitched by Merrick. So thoroughly bewitched that he did things he would not have ordinarily done. I forgave him his trespasses, and I forgave Merrick for what she did to him, because at the end of it all, she did come to love him, and wanted to give more than what she originally sought to take from him. I felt that she had earned a place in our coven, but perhaps she had bewitched me, as well. She was a powerful witch.

As he’s told me of that particular infraction – and mind you, he is always welcome to the contents of my closet, and it usually charms me when he wears anything of mine – it happened quite by accident. 

If you recall, I was not myself. Louis had visited my quarters and spent some time reminiscing among my things, seeking some clarity from the thick confusion Merrick had spun in his mind by that point, seeking a key that might wake me from my sleep. He put on that suit and tie, and several of my rings, being one of the last outfits he had seen me wear in livelier times, and fell into some contemplation there, in my room. 

When the time called for it, without even thinking to change, he flew to her. So he was wearing it when he met with her. 

dont pretend that nobody has said “yo gabe,” to gabrielle

♛You just try it and see how she reacts, visage gris.

//ooc; I doubt she responds to any nicknames, only her full name, and only allows Lestat to call her “Mother” under extreme circumstances or in the heat of an argument.

IMO, “Gabe” (pronounced “GAYB”) would be the nickname for “Gabriel,” (bc it’s pronounced “GAY-Bree-uhl”) which is the masculine form of “Gabrielle.” It’s also the name of the angel Gabriel, which I don’t think is an accident.

If Gabrielle were to have a nickname, it would probably be “Gabs” (pronouced “Gahbz”) as “Gabrielle” is pronounced “Gahb-ree-ehl.”

What happens if you drink from somebody that has anaemia? D:(guilty myself)

♛Guilty of being anaemic? That’s not necessarily under your control. I’m not a doctor, and I don’t study blood like our scientific brethren do… I know what I like to drink, though, and for me, the physicality of the blood is merely the carrier for the moment that I’m locked to my victim, to take what I really require, which is their essence, their soul. I don’t discriminate based on taste; I would just prefer it to be living! (Dead blood is not poisonous, but it’s so so distasteful.)

I’m sure that I have tasted this already, apparently anaemia affects a quarter of the population. One of the causes of it is blood loss, so I’m sure I’ve been the cause of it for some of my Little Drink victims *grins* Oh well…

image

Other causes of anaemia are dietery, genetic or infections, and as far as I know, whatever the engine is that makes me what I am defends me perfectly from all of these. I’ve never had an illness in that sense. It’s physical food and drink that I can’t handle, but that just comes back the way it came. Very unattractive when that has happened. I can take little sips of real drinks, yes, but none of it has ever had much taste to me.

I won’t lie, I love trying new flavors of blood, Little Drinks from partygoers, and I have a taste for bourbon by proxy now. Drugs? Not as much, as I’m wary of allowing myself into that far of an altered state of mind. Potheads, yes, when I’m in the mood for a gentle kind of high.

As for your question though, I do notice variation in the taste and texture of different blood types, but I usually don’t know the reason. Something a little flatter about blood with less red blood cells or smaller red blood cells, perhaps the closest comparison would be champagne that has gone a little flat, but all mortal blood is still preferable to animal blood. There’s more in it that we need than the physical substance; we need the soul as well. 

Although I have met many animals with much more soul than some of the evildoers I have to get involved with, human souls are just more nutritious for us, for whatever reason. Even Gabrielle has confessed to me that she ends up needing to hunt indigenous tribes every so often on her travels, to supplement her usual non-human intake.

Here’s the thing that bugs me about Tumblr fandoms.

People latch onto certain headcanons. These headcanons become popular. Suddenly the fandom starts insisting that said headcanon is actual canom. They become so militant about it that they punish anyone who disagrees with them.

Now, I absolutely love headcanons. By all means, you should rewrite canon. Reinterpret canon. Make the canon more inclusive and more diverse. Question the messages put forth by the canon. You have the freedom to change and critique the canon as you see fit.

But please remember that other people are allowed to have their own interpretations as well. Give everyone the liberty to develop headcanons that appeal to them. And for the love of God, don’t attack people that see things differently than you.

#!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#Please understand the difference between fanon and canon#if the show/creator debunks it- it’s DEBUNKED#it can still be fanon#it can still be an AU#it can still be fun#but its real uncomfortable to see people CLING to stuff claiming the show/creator is wrong#or get mad at people entertaining different ideas/giving credence to the actual canon

“And for the love of God, don’t attack people that see things differently than you.” 

Lestat! would you maybe give me some tips on how to make my hair really soft? Forever envious of your locks.

♛Merci, Armand. It is magnificent, isn’t it? It is genetic and unattainable.

*laughs* ok, you’re probably not Armand. I don’t know what your hair type is, and I’m not a specialist in this. My hair is naturally easy to maintain and style. My only rule is to learn how to bleach your hair very carefully or leave it to the professionals, it tends to be harsh on mortal hair. Poor Tough Cookie bleached hers too powerfully and too many times and it all fell out! 

Hey Lestat… i just finished your book “Prince Lestat” i just realized…LOUIS IS SUCH A B*… He just want you now because your a Prince and he wanted to be your “princesa” HAHA

♛Don’t think I don’t know a gold-digger when I see one, anonyme. Louis has never wanted gold or power, in fact, these things are repulsive to him personally; I have to take off my crown when we make love!  And that’s all I’m telling you about that.

He can be a real b* sometimes, but to be fair, I bring that out in him. I LIKE IT.

you know what i really want? a modern dudebro vampire. just a typical obnoxious straight boy in a neon tank top and cargo shorts who also happens to be a creature of the night.

“okay, dude, i’m only feeding on you ‘cause i’m starving and there aren’t any hot girls around. no homo.” “wait, you’re gonna suck my blood?” “no, i’m gonna drink your blood. i don’t suck, that’s gay. don’t make this weird, bro”

“ah, i see you’re staring pensively out the window, chad. ruminating on the curse of your newfound immortality?” “nah man, it’s just… i got, like, some flecks of blood on my adidas while i was feeding and they haven’t come out…”

“we do not drink… wine.” “okay but is beer cool? and can we still smoke weed?”

he joins a 24-hour gym because being undead and allergic to sunlight is no excuse for skipping leg day. tragic music swells as he looks over his “sun’s out guns out” tanks (he has seven of them). his coven is a fraternity. someone make this happen

ask and ye shall recieve

Do you know I can find @superhiki’s art of Marius and Armand’s children (link?) because after seeing the BEAUTIFUL art of the threesome L/L/N murder husbands’ children I really need to see Marius and Armand’s and I CANNOT find it lol. (Also, I really like this idea @superhiki should do more ships’ children)

@superhiki is a fandom treasure and the first fanartist I’ve seen doing kids of ships! New tag, btw. #Ship kids.

X (link has the better res) Here’s Marius and Armand’s kids! Reblog from there or the source.

@superhiki:

…It was late and I wanted to draw what I thought Marius and Armand’s babies would look like.

No blonde hair or blue eyes because my fandom Punnett Square is unforgiving. (But hiki, you’re talking about the offspring of two male vampires, can’t you make ONE of them mini-Marius, given that the premise is pure fantasy fuckery?)

No, because blond hair in VC so often means ridiculous behavior and I want these two to be well behaved angels. Gender/sex is ambiguous on purpose.

It’s really late when I’m typing this so mind the wacky everything-about-this-post.

superhiki:

Here are some offspring Nicki/Lestat/Louis… D-don’t make me explain.
I imagine the oldest as just Louis/Nicki future dream boat of a kid, the blondish one as Lestat and Nicki’s, while the youngest is Lestat and Louis’…

Unlike what I said about Armand and Marius’ children, these would have the potential to be little devils (not terrible, but they’d have their quirks) thanks to Lestat’s tainted MC blood.
