I saw this and I was like “what a perfect opportunity to draw more really stupid VC shit”

What is Louis supposed to look like?

Hauls out all these fuckin books… anon why u kill me…

“He stared at the vampire’s full black hair, […] the curls that barely touched the edge of the white collar.” -Interview with the Vampire

“Those green eyes gazed at me […] with a mindless innocence,” -Interview with the Vampire

“I fell fatally in love with Louis, a young dark-haired bourgeois planter, graceful of speech and fastidious of manner,” -The Vampire Lestat

“His blindness to the motives or the suffering of others was as much a part of his charm as his soft unkempt black hair or the eternally troubled expression in his green eyes.” -The Vampire Lestat

“Tall, slender figure. Short dark hair. […] Black hair, green eyes, […] a frayed black sweater that hung shapelessly from his shoulders, legs like long black spokes.” -The Vampire Lestat

“his black hair full and disheveled as it had always been in the old days, and his green eyes full of melancholy wonder,” -The Queen of the Damned

“I touched his face again, the cheekbones, the arch beneath the black eyebrow. What a finely made thing he was.” -The Queen of the Damned

“He ran his fingers back through his hair. Such fine black hair. The first thing I’d ever noticed about him–well, after his green eyes, that is–was his black hair. No, all that’s a lie. It was his expression; the passion and the innocence and the delicacy of conscience.” -The Queen of the Damned

“his face sharpening, the whole picture of high cheekbones and dark probing green eyes firing beautifully.” -The Queen of the Damned

“His face, quite thin and finely drawn by nature, an exquisitely delicate face for all its obvious strength,” -The Tale of the Body Thief

“I glared at him, at the sharp graceful angles of his imperturbable face, […] his wide-set eyes, with their fine rich black lashes. How perfect the tender indentation of his upper lip.” -The Tale of the Body Thief

“Louis de Pointe du Lac, […] slender, slightly less tall than Lestat […] black of hair, gaunt and white of skin, with
amazingly long and delicate fingers […] 

whose
green eyes are soulful, the very mirror of patient misery, soft-voiced, very human,” -The Vampire Armand

“I followed his slim, delicate figure as it picked its way
through the clutter and nineteenth-century Paris, I knew that this black-clad darkhaired
gentleman, so lean, so finely sculpted, so sensitive in all his lineaments,” -The Vampire Armand

“it seemed to me that he was a vision of male perfection […] his curly black hair […] combed back over his ears and curling above his collar” -Merrick

“he seemed a young man of twenty-four–with sharply defined and beautiful features, and gaunt well-modeled cheeks.” -Merrick

That only took forever… even with all my dog-ears… anyways, Louis is a pale skinny dude with a Beauteous Male Model face, short, curly black hair, and green eyes, as described over and over and over and over again in almost every book. Brad Pitt was way off.

Also I think this accidentally became a testament to how fucking gay everyone is for Louis, it’s really unbelievable. I even tried to cut out most of the superfluous gay bits and still,

“And I realized what a dreadful
change had come over his narrow face” – Tale of the Body Thief 

Have you seen the youtuber “boyinaband” ? He would make a wonderful Louis, that hair! 😱

Oh this is that guy from the Don’t Stay in School vid, I remember him! What a powerful vid this is. Still gives me chills.

I do really like his look, but idk about him as Louis. I’d still screentest him for another role, a different vampire maybe. One of the Fang Gang maybe, or a theatre vampire. 

There is a lot of debate about Louis’s hair, and I’ve done it publicly and privately (recently w/ my fanfic co-writer/collaborator @wicked-felina!) this dude’s hair… it’s more of a fanon thing for him to have long silky straight hair, canonically, Louis has “wavy, curly” and “black” or “raven” hair “curling just under his ear.”

^X by @i-see-light, probably more canonically accurate for Louis.

We all picture him differently, I think that’s part of what will make it so hard to cast an actor for this role. Some ppl headcanon his hair as long and more of a chestnut-color (like in movie!IWTV), or shorter and curlier (like in Lestat the Musical), or dark, longish and silky (which I think is influenced by

movie!IWTV but trying to pay some homage to canon), or something else entirely! 

We all apply our own ideals of beauty (which are influenced by our own cultures, art, families, romantic partners, and/or friends, etc.) onto these fictional characters.

I enjoy the different interpretations in

VC cosplay and fanart, for the adaptation(s), it’s more important to me if he can act like Louis, so I’ll accept hairstylings I wouldn’t normally like for the sake of good script writing from the writers, and strong ic acting from the actors  ^_____^
