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? 

I had a dream with Marius. He was at my house been a sweet grandpa, cooking for me and being my companion for the night.. he was wearing his red velvet coat and a wig… A BLACK wig… he said his “amadeo” gave him the wig because his blonde hair caugth too much attention… it was really odd… REALLY… </3

Ok so basically Marius was dressed as Antonio!Armand? I will say that red robe looked very inviting *u* 

Now I have this vision of Marius flipping pancakes (since the smell of cooking meat is gross to them), that seems like the kind of thing he’d be willing to cook. Dreams are strange things…

I’ll open this up tho, anyone else have VC dreams? There’s some in my #dream tag, I’ll reblog a few just for you, ‘nonnie.

Excuse me Lestat but may I just say that Louis’ green eyes are very beautiful and sexy. It looks like he is staring directly into people’s souls when he’s looking at someone.

♛You may say so. He has no idea how delicious he is. No matter how many times he’s told. Probably for the best. 

He’s actually very sensitive about being objectified like this, so I try to keep my appreciation of him to my physical expression of love, rather than verbal praise *winks* 

What you’re interpreting as his “sexy” eyes, or that he’s capable of looking into people’s souls, that’s usually his ability to spellbind others, and he does it without even consciously trying to do so. It’s not just his physical attributes, it’s one of his vampiric gifts he hasn’t really needed to consciously hone. I wish that he would, though *dreamy sigh*

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…

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.

I missed seeing posts from you <3

You guys, @everlastingporcelain is back from a lil hiatus, and is a longtime Bianca RPer. Hit her up for your Bianca questions and interactions ❤

(I really do think the pearls in this one character’s hair were a teensy reference to Bianca.)

So a thought just crossed my mine. Why did Armand choose to also kill Madeleine when Louis clearly turned her into a vampire so Claudia could leave with her and so Louis could be with Armand? Doesn’t really make any sense, doesn’t it? If Armand didn’t kill Madeleine he would have gotten what he wanted which was Louis, right? So what was the point of killing Madeleine?

Poor Madeleine! Did not deserve to die like that ;A; Unfortunately, I’d say she was condembed to die by proxy, being so attached to Claudia.

I don’t think Madeleine’s death was totally under Armand’s control. He was not really the leader of the TdV (see more quotes on that below the cut); in TVA Armand says: “For the record, [Claudia] was slain by my Coven of mad demon actors and actresses,… it became all too clear to too many that she had tried to murder her principal Maker, The Vampire Lestat. It was a crime punishable by death, the murdering of one’s creator or the attempt at it”

^“slain by my Coven” but not that he ordered them to do it. Just that he didn’t stop it from happening.

This is an #unreliable narrator situation again, as there are at least three different accounts of the trial that was held under TdV (see more below the cut)(four if you include the above statement from TVA). In all instances, the important part of the “trial” was that Claudia was the one who had to be convicted and sentenced to death. Louis and Madeleine were secondary concerns. 

There was no explanation for why Madeleine was also condemned to death, I would suggest that Santiago (and/or Armand) wanted to kill Madeleine bc she was mad (the extent of which we don’t really know) and/or they didn’t really know what else to do with her. Santiago probably wanted to do it bc it’s thrilling to kill another vampire, as Armand pointed out in book!IWTV: “`You see,’ he said, `killing other vampires is very exciting; that is why it is forbidden under penalty of death.’

Let her live and wait to see how long it takes her to plan revenge? I think not.

Yep, that too! I think they very much underestimated Louis in that regard 😉

  1. Movie!IWTV – Armand is not part of the “trial,” we see him close the door against the whole scene, and he waits until later to free Louis from his (upside-down!!! SO MEAN) imprisonment in the walled-in coffin o’ doom. So one would guess that Armand at least negotiated w/ Santiago to have Louis’ life to be spared in this way.
  2. Book!IWTV – Armand was not present at the “trial.” Santiago seemed to be the one running that show. 

    Again, one would guess that Armand at least negotiated w/ Santiago beforehand.

  3. TVL – Armand was present at the “trial” and seemed to be the one running that show, and Madeleine is not even mentioned.

In movie!IWTV, we see Armand closing the door on the screams of the condemned, and the explanation as to why he didn’t come out to help when Louis called for him? He had told Louis that he wasn’t really the leader of this coven, “But if there were a leader, I would be that one.” 

In book!IWTV, similarly:

“ `Are you the leader of this group?’ [Louis] asked him.
” `Not in the way you mean leader,’ [Armand] answered. But if there were a leader here, I would be that one.’

Armand knows that to exert power, you have to defend it:

[Louis says:] “ `Stop them if you will, advise them that we don’t mean any harm.
Why can’t you do this? You say yourself we’re not your enemies, no
matter what we’ve done… ’
” I could hear him sigh, faintly. [Armand says:] `I have stopped them for the time
being,’ he said. `But I don’t want such power over them as would be
necessary to stop them entirely. Because if I exercise such power, then
I must protect it. I will make enemies. And I would have forever to
deal with my enemies when all I want here as a certain space, a certain
peace. Or not to be here at all. I accept the scepter of sorts they’ve
given me, but not to rule over them, only to keep them at a distance.‘
