♛ Yes, do confess your secrets to me, ma petite. It would bring my heart so much pleasure as well, why not pleasure each other?
♠Oh, but he does go along with my “escapades.” Quite often. His ghostwriter just doesn’t write about it in his books. Few realize that ours is not the one-sided relationship it may appear to be on the surface.
LISTEN NONNY, GIVEN WHAT THE VC HAS BECOME, YOU DON’T WANT HER DRAGGING YOUR FAVES INTO THIS MESS.
Look what she *did* to him in PL:
[Art by @garama, text by @merciful-death]
Throughout the story of Prince Lestat, Armand does little other than be supportive of Lestat, in a way that almost seems obsequious. Not much really happens for Armand, he rides out the whole drama pretty unscathed, for which we should all be GRATEFUL.
Don’t forget that ppl also force him to dress up, too! Everyone fights over him and makes him dress fancy when all he wants to do is read a book and not burn in the sun.
I haven’t done my Armand headcanon yet, still thinking about it!
Young Hugh Dancy, no. Hugh looks more like a Nicolas to me, but even then, not really my headcanon. For me, physically and emotionally, he’s too manly to be Armand, too earnest and soft to be Nicolas. He is adorable tho, just look at him! And he does look perfectly believable in period costume. I’d take him as another VC character.

Sorry, I’ve had this for 2 months, but it’s too broad a question, too many characters to think about! I think it varies for different vampires at different times in their lives and unlives.
Louis didn’t get very excited about Christmas until Claudia. She had been with them for only a few months, and then Christmas was upon them. Lestat transformed the parlor and courtyard into a little winter wonderland, Claudia was excited about that (and she put up a fight in March when he said they should really take it down), and she had a stack of presents under the tree on Christmas night.
Her first priority was giving Louis his gift, which was a pack of drawings bound in a soft leather portfolio Lestat had picked out with her. Drawings she had done of him, Lestat, their little family, their house. He was deeply touched, and few Christmas gifts ever topped it. It was at that moment that he finally understood the point of that holiday and his anticipation for that kind of moment does build, he gets into the spirit of it with everyone else *u*
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 ;]
Gosh thanks! [Anon’s referring to this post X]
I can’t do ALL of them there are so many VC characters (I’ll do Lestat tho), pick the ones you want described *u*
Well Armand probably wouldn’t like you, if that makes you feel any better! I feel that he is essential to the series and he’s my best friend’s spirit animal so I have to defend him.
He has very specific reasons to have tension w/ Louis and Marius, you might not have gotten to that info yet 😉 Maybe you’ll change your mind about him when you get more of his background.
This is why I loved earlier canon so much more than the recent stuff, there were rich layers with characters like Armand. We first meet him in IWTV as the mysterious leader of the Theatre des Vampires, he’s unlike anyone else Louis has ever met and they are enthralled with eachother. Armand is as alluring as Lestat was to mortal!Louis, but in entirely different ways. The more we learn about Armand as we go on through canon, the more we find that he wasn’t simply a survivor of horrible crap that’s happened to him, he’s actively tried to improve his circumstances, he learns from experiences, he is a sponge for knowledge, he has major trust issues with alot of other characters, he’s got a great sense of humor but he’s also really bitter, he craves love but struggles with receiving it, just, ARMAND. SO MUCH MORE than meets the eye.
Anyway if you like Louis at all, ya gotta remember that Armand rescued him from being walled inside a coffin upside-down for eternity so… y’know… there’s that.
Keep in mind mortal!Louis suffered from claustrophobia, and still felt it as a vampire sometimes, so this would have been an even worse punishment for him.
