I had a long day and am too tired to work on actual drawings so here’s this thing I’ve been meaning to do for a while. [x]
Lestat + Louis + strip poker = GOLD
“THE ONLY THING LEFT TO DISCARD FROM MY BEING IS MY SO-CALLED "DIGNITY” at least what I have left of it, if any.“ <— omg hahaha!
#Headcanon accepted.
Lemme just explain a thing real quick tho first, there are differnt types of VC “facts,” and you might find something of what you’re looking for here anyway:
^SO WITH ALL THAT IN MIND, here are some tags* where you might find any combination of those things:
*and unfortunately (or really, fortunately, in my opinion), some other fandoms are mixed into my tags because as pure as I try to keep this, other media/ideas/fandoms/etc. have found their way onto this blog bc of reasons. Good reasons.
“No locks ever kept Armand from anything.” – Daniel Molloy, Queen of the Damned.
So yes, Daniel’s evil dark twink bf Armand can open locked doors, since there would be electrical locks at that point, but I think it was more that Armand always had a way of sneaking in (being wee, he could probably climb up and enter a small window!), or could get someone to open the door for him, bc I don’t recall that Armand has telekinesis in canon.
Lestat and Marius both have telekinesis in canon, but I don’t think there’s a lot of detail about their manipulating electricals…
“I was sitting in the darkened cathedral. Hours ago it had been locked, and I had entered surreptitiously through one of the front doors, quieting the protective alarms. And left it open for him.” – Lestat, Tale of the Body Thief.
^Lestat doesn’t say how he quieted the alarms. I’m guessing that Marius and Lestat’s telekinesis does extend to electrical locks, more in their physical attributes, though. If you can manually force open the parts that keep a door locked, the electricals don’t matter.
And of course, they’re both strong enough to just knock your door down physically ;]
Two more alarm-related quotes, that didn’t really add to my point but I found them anyway, under the cut, for length.
The lock gave easily when I commanded it to do so. And the door opened as if I had touched it, when I had not.“- Lestat, Tale of the Body Thief.
^This is probly a normal physical lock w/o the alarm system.
“And I locked up the shop door tight with a few little telepathic twists, and off I went again.” – Lestat, Tale of the Body Thief.
^One of Lestat’s regular mini-shopping sprees in a closed store. I would think this shop had an alarm system but he doesn’t mention needing to disable it.
♛Unfortunately I didn’t see this meteor shower, we were living in New Orleans at that time… but we read about it in the journals.

Claudia and Louis were always intrigued by the workings of nature, and could spend hours pouring over illustrated books of flowers, animals, scientific discoveries, predictions for the future. We kept live birds because Claudia asked to study them at close range; she wanted to draw in the style of those books she loved.
Natural events like that are truly something to behold, and I can see why Gabrielle prefers the simplicity and company of such wonders to society, which can be so dull and boring in comparison. Man-made art can only attempt the beauty that Nature provides, free of charge.
It was Gabrielle’s desire that brought me to the lip of a frozen tundra to see the Northern Lights for the first time, and it really was worth the considerable amount of bitching and moaning I had made on the climb up to our viewing point.
Lestat takes such pride in his fashion vlog which he updates regularly. He informs his “numerous” subscribers of the “original” clothes he most certainly did not buy from online Chinese shops.
“ Hello there, my fans, my lovelies, today I am wearing this amazing, expensive coat worn by non other than Hao Yunxiang (jauntily mispronounces) for the *looks down to read* Men’s Dolce & Gabbana F/W ‘13 show.
Of course, when I saw this coat from the first row where I sat…during the Fashion Week..first row, yeah *smug face* , I HAD TO HAVE IT. So, naturally, I pulled some connections and voilà !
*takes off the coat, brings it closer to the camera so the viewers can see it properly*
Because it has been worn by many muscular and handsome male models, the seams are a bit torn and yes, I know the tag says “Dulce & Gabbano” but that’s how they label the real authentic catwalk stuff from all the fakes. “
Louis enters the room, spots Lestat sitting on the floor leaning towards the camera while holding some second hand coat.
“Oh my God…”
He caresses his forehead and massages his temples.
Then exits the room.
Yep, as far as I know, AR is fine with ppl headcanoning them as gay, or other sexual orientation. IIRC, this was her response re: Daniel and Marius:
Look at all my tags on that post, tho: #fandom #mark hamill #wish we had one of the IWTV actors saying this #but I think theyd all agree w/ it #your headcanon may vary #ship and let ship #gif #quote #headcanon #lestat likes this #you dont need the authors permission to think whatever u want about canon #YOU DONT NEED AUTHORS PERMISSION FOR YOUR HEADCANON #just be respectful #of others’ headcanons too #reyton #roselioncourt #pointed this out to me #thank u
I don’t really need the IWTV actors to say it, either. Just would have fit on my blog better 😉
For example, some ppl headcanon Gabrielle as transgender. I don’t, personally, but I’m respectful of their opinion. I don’t know what AR would think about that opinion, and I don’t reeeeeally care, bc you don’t need the author’s permission to think whatever you want about canon. Just be respectful of others’ headcanons, too *u*
That’s a really tough question! When I read the books I read them all in MY voice, which sounds like an 11 yr old girl’s. So that wouldn’t work.
Probably gonna get alot of disagreement on this and that’s fine, bc voice casting is even MORE subjective that acting casting but I’ll give it a shot anyway. Reblog w/ your own ideas, and try to include links to vids.
Lestat – His voice is actually not that low, bc he was turned at 20-21, but it gets higher-pitched when he raises his voice. Has that slightly ragged singer’s voice edge to it. Can do a wide range, though, can imitate voices, musical notes, animal sounds, etc. Usually to perturb others.
Lestat will go up to Armand and say something like, “Ooooh Marius, paint me like one of your Italian boysssss…” in Armand’s voice which is always amusing, whatever reaction he gets.
Other than Tom Cruise (bc he’d be the easy answer), I’m gonna go w/ Sebastian Bach in the 80’s. Or Ewan McGregor in Velvet Goldmine.
Hit the jump for more.
(I didn’t include PL characters for the sake of brevity)(You can add them in the comments)(I also didn’t find good vid examples for all of these, sorries)
Louis – A mellow, calming voice. He can silence a room with a concise and gentlemanly eloquent statement. In canon, it’s mentioned more than once that you can hear his French accent. He himself doesn’t notice it, of course, bc he’s Mr. Pointe du Lacking-Any-Vanity-Whatsoever. Louis Garrel would be a good pick.
Armand – I’ve always felt like the Smashing Pumpkins’ Billy Corgan was very Armand in his singing voice, he has all the anguish and beauty that is Armand. In his speaking voice, it’s soft, and you can hear something broken there, but it’s smooth, controlled.
Daniel – Has a slight vocal growl, like River Phoenix (Or maybe Aaron Tveit), and altho he has a relatively low voice, he’ll always sound like he’s 20 on the phone.
Marius – Michael Fassbender, @sheepskeleton made me see it and I can’t unsee it. A commanding but gentle teacher’s voice.
David – As an old man, he had that perfect older Dad-vibe; comforting, ex-adventurer, wise, with more than a touch of charming sass. So Kurt Russell would be a good voice, but he needs the noticeable British accent.
post-TOBT David is David Gandy. He’s got the British voice, the charm, etc.! Young or old, David’s laugh is that old-man whiskey laugh, mostly air!
Gabrielle – She has a dignity about her and it comes through in her voice. Her laughter sparkles, but it’s rare. She has a very commanding Mom Voice, the kind where she can yell w/o raising her voice. Gonna go with fan favorite Charlize Theron. Or Nicole Kidman, or Michelle Pfeiffer, obviously, too.
Bianca – Scarlett Johansson. @everlastingporcelain has convinced me that Scarlett = Bianca and I can’t unsee/hear it. Sass, charm, vocal growl, wholesomeness, and an advanced maturity.

Marius: Lestat, did you have anything to do with-
Lestat: Whaaaat?! How dare you, what are you implying, honestly, Marius, not EVERY blasphemous heartbreaking work of staggering genius is my fault.
Armand: You shared the pic on your FB.
Lestat: That proves exactly nothing.
Daniel: You captioned it, “LOOK WHAT I DID”
Lestat: …
Lestat: I took the picture.
Marius: In the daylight?
Lestat: …
Lestat: Timer feature *smirks*
All: (silence)
Lestat: (silence)
Marius: We don’t believe you. Please, PLEASE stop trying to rile human beings.
Lestat: None of you have one ounce, not one droplet of fun in you. Except for Louis and David. And Gabrielle. *grins, winks* Because ME *points at himself*
David, Louis, and Gabrielle: *collectively groan*
