Oooh, I like her as Bianca, too!
This is now an excuse to make a Bianca casting post… for Bianca I also really love @perladivenezia‘s FC, Natalie Dormer…
And @everlastingporcelain‘s FC, Scarlett Johansson…
Aaaaaan @sheepskeleton‘s fabulous fanart of her…(plural! But I just picked one for a sample)
(You might want to check @vcsecretgifts for more VC holiday goodness!)
They gather together and be sociable! There’s an ugly sweater contest, just to irritate Lestat (it really does!). Daniel usually wins bc he is willing to spend hours hunting second-hand stores to find the VERY WORST, and most authentic, tacky holiday sweaters. In fact Louis lets him choose. Without fail, Lestat has to rush Louis home to tear off such an abomination.
#Your headcanon may vary on this, but Thanksgiving, being an American holiday, is probably ignored by most of the coven. Lestat has thrown feasts for small groups of gangsters bad guys, however, just to really enjoy drenching them in the finest alcohol so he can sample whatever’s in fashion. Sometimes Armand, Daniel, Marius, or others, join him in this.
Marius, too, throws feasts for mortals, but when he’s hosting, they’re as safe from him as the most of the Palazzo boys were; he loves the chance to argue things like politics and the current trends in cinema with collegiate people.
Xmas, too, may not be celebrated by all the vampires since most are secular in their beliefs, but they all like to do some measure of decorating for it. Lestat goes all out, with the biggest tree he can fit in the Rue Royale, layering it with ornaments and tons of tinsel (the poor cleaning crew are still finding bits of it 6 months later), and Louis has become very enamored with LED string lights. The fountain and plants in the courtyard is thoroughly threaded with lights in several pastel colors by December 1.
There was one year that Lestat felt required to top the tree with a most unusual ornament…
YES. (btw spelling is Andreja Pejic). Not sure as who (too young to be Gabrielle, too feminine to be Lestat?), but yes, she is *~gorgeousness.~*
This was taken when she was Andrej, male model, so baring the nip-nop was ok. BUT EVEN IF YOU COVER THAT UP, DAMN, SUCH SMOLDER.
I loved the photoset this pic came from. It’s her and Erika Linder.
pssssssst…. #Fanart request. or #fanfic request. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE.
Awww, that’s so cute! Which island do you live on? If you don’t mind sharing.
(I admit it’s pretty cool living in New York, a place that’s often mentioned in VC. We even have St. Patrick’s Cathedral. Memnoch the Devil locations.)
(AND I AM GOING TO NEW ORLEANS THIS THURSDAY awww yisss. Such bragging.)
AS FOR YOUR QUESTION: Someone else may have the answer, but if I recall correctly, I don’t think the island is ever mentioned by name because Marius doesn’t want Lestat trying to follow him after being expelled for Doing The Thing. I did a quick scour of TVL and B&G and didn’t find anything more specific than this:
“And then as the 1700s commenced, I prepared to make a daring move to an island where I would rule supreme in the Aegean Sea, surrounded by mortals who would easily accept me as their lord, in a stone house which I had prepared for me by a host of mortal servants.”
“…I was on the terrace of this new house, gazing out at the sea and over the many small islands that surrounded me,” – Marius de Romanus, Blood and Gold
Alonnisos seems to fit that description, although it isn’t SURROUNDED. It’s one of the few that has a bunch of islands around it in more than one direction. IDK what his definition of “small” is for an island, they all look pretty small to me.
There’s also Siros, which is also surrounded by a number of small islands and is, itself, in the Aegean Sea.
Hope that helped!
That’s not even a question in my mind, but would he be willing to play another vampire? Adam was a Louis/Nicki hybrid, veering more towards Nicki, I’d say. He was an unwashed and suicidal musician, brought back to life when his Blood Spouse returned with treats. Still refused to wash his hair though. Unless that happened off-screen.
I love this fanart here. I’ve seen mixed reactions to it. But I’d definitely take this style in an official graphic novel…

♛We’re just not ourselves when we’re hungry, are we?
I also do not know how many of the VC fandom actively play video games, I played N64, Sega, old skool Nintendo… I stopped around Super Smash Bros. I never got into Pokemon but I hear the younger VC fandom is very nostalgic about that.
I have never heard of this
Gabriel Knight Mysteries trilogy… I looked into it and I don’t quiiiite see the VC connection. Can you be more specific?
But yes, I’d love a VC videogame like FUCK YEAH BATTLE RUE ROYALE! I imagine it would be mostly fighting among coven members, not a game with missions, but either would be fine.
Like just LOOKIT THIS CUTIE by @obedixnt:

The pixellation here makes this look like a video game. Could u imagine a VC videogame??! I’m visualizing a scenario like Super Smash Bros. w/ Lestat vs. Armand… or Louis & Claudia vs.Vagabond European Vampire No. 73….
Also lots of creative murders like the Fire Gift and the Explodey-Heart-Gift on mortals.
This should help a bit:
[The most important thing, according to @vampiredevelopment]
Shocked and horrified would be the appropriate reactions to that scene IF we believe him about that. VC is all about unreliable narrators. Armand is telling his story to David here, trying to intimidate him. Did Armand really do it? We don’t know. If he did, could Louis really forgive him? EVER?
… or, was Armand really trying to help her, as he claimed? “I tried to grant her fondest wish, that she should have the body of a woman, a fit shape for the tragic dimension of her soul.” -The Vampire Armand.
Who knows?! #Your headcanon may vary.
In related info, I have only ever seen one fanart of this scene… beware, once seen cannot be unseen, but I love it bc it truly captures the moment:
