Lestat: I’m really sorry about last night. It’s just that I’m really mean and loud. It probably will happen again.
Lestat (to Louis): This is an on-fire garbage can…could be a nursery.
Lestat(about Gabrielle): Gabrielle is my best friend in the world, and I give her a million kisses a day. She does not like me and barks at me and bites me all day long.
Gabrielle: Sometimes babies will point at me, and I don’t care for that shit at all.
Louis: I was raised Catholic. I’m not sure if you can tell that from the EVERYTHING about me.
Daniel: Eat ass, suck a dick, and sell drugs.
Armand: *pointing to chest* I’ll keep all my emotions right here and then one day I’ll die.
Marius: You have the moral backbone of a chocolate eclair.
David: Everybody get out of my way! I just wanna sit here and feed my birds.
Nicolas: I like when things are crazy. Something good comes out of that exhaustion.
Claudia: I am very small, and I have no money. You can imagine the kind of stress I’m under.
Santino: We go into the church and I was like “I got this under control.” And then I got schooled because they introduced a bunch of new shit.
Khayman: Too old to be a duckling! Quack quack!

Hello, I wonder if vampire can be taken a picture? Can their image show up in photos?
//ooc; idk about other vampires, it varies. The What We Do in the Shadows vampires could have photos taken of them, but couldn’t see their own reflection in mirrors *shrugs*.
Ricean vampires can see their own reflections in mirrors.
Omg, I totally forgot about this, but apparently Khayman has mental photoshop powers?? From QOTD:
[Khayman] liked the libraries where he could find photographs of ancient monuments in big smooth good-smelling
books. He took his own photographs of the new cities around him and sometimes he could put images onthese pictures which came from his thoughts. For example, in his photograph of Rome there were Roman
people in tunics and sandals superimposed upon the modern versions in their thick ungraceful clothes.
I headcanon that Ricean vampires can be photographed, and they take selfies…

Jesse also sees photos of Armand in QOTD:
David had put something in her hand. Reluctantly she took her eyes off the painting. She found herself
staring at a tintype, a late-nineteenth-century photograph. After a moment, she whispered: “This is the same
boy!““Yes. And something of an experiment,” David said. “It I was most likely taken just after sunset in impossible
lighting conditions which might not have worked with another subject. Notice not much is really visible but
his face.” True, yet she could see the style of the hair was of the period. I “You might look at this as well,”
David said. And this time he gave her an old magazine, a nineteenth-century journal, the I kind with narrow
columns of tiny print and ink illustrations. There was the same boy again alighting from a barouche-a I hasty
sketch, though the boy was smiling.
Hello there, I’ve heard that Lestat was given a birthday of AR’s husband, and Louis was given AR’s birthday. Is that true? I just read the first two books of VC, and it didn’t mention their birthday at all. Do vampires celebrate their birthdays?
Only the first 2, wow you have a ways to go!
Yep, she gave us their birthdates (Louis – October 4; Lestat – November 7) outside of canon. Neither date is mentioned explicitly in canon, and so some ppl do not accept that information as canon.
(There is also some fanon that Armand’s bday is November 11, which AR never mentioned at all.)
I don’t recall the vampires ever celebrating their birthdays explicitly in canon, but I headcanon that some of them do. Some of them prefer to celebrate the date they were turned, some celebrate both (exception: I headcanon that Lestat doesn’t celebrate the date he was turned) and some celebrate neither (Khayman, maybe).
EDIT: Claudia mentions in her diary entry in QOTD that Sep. 21 is the night her dads honor every year as her birthday, and she doesn’t know why. It’s probably the night she was turned, bc Lestat tells her “‘It was the day you were born to us.’ ” It’s Michele Rice’s birthday, Anne Rice’s daughter.
[X] BTW, I was looking for a reference as to Lestat and Louis’ birthdays for an Ask and found this. Someone used one of my memeythings for Becket’s birthday in 2015. The POTP are aware of me… *shudders*
And no, AR was not among the 21 who Liked that pic.
That Tom Cruise as Louis ask got me thinking, imagine the entire film where all the characters are Tom Cruise! Lestat, Louis, Claudia, Madeleine, Armand, Santiago, all of them!
Oh gawdz well, this is the best I can do w/o such an idea and I spent ages on it so I hope you like it!!! There was more than one Tom Cruise in Oblivion, but I’d love a movie where he plays an entire cast.
Tom as Lestat and as Daniel: this actually works pretty well…
Claudia: This actually is surprisingly cute and kinda terrifying, imagine that little guy chasing you down in the middle of the night and then that one big fang plunging into your neck!
Akasha: this one is a little too real… IS THIS WHAT THEY’RE PLANNING?
as Lestat and Louis: do you know how hard it is to find a decent size gif of Tom Cruise crying? It’s hard. So have this again.
Armand: hey don’t look at me like that, at least the hair color is closer to canon than Antonio!Armand. The outfit works, too.
Nicolas: basically rockstar musician IDGAF 24/7/365
Tom as Khayman when Akasha is attacking: (tbh this gif of Tom getting thrown against a car will always make me happy, sorry Tom, idk why, schadenfreude probably)
Gabrielle, to everything Lestat ever suggests:
Tom!Daniel – Risky Business, I think?
Tom!Claudia – Actual child pic of Tom
Tom!Akasha – Actual Tom in a Scientology pow-wow
Tom!Louis – Mission Impossible 3?
Tom!Armand – Austin Powers (2, I think?)
Tom!Nicolas – Rock of Ages
Tom!Khayman – Jack Reacher? Mission Impossible 3?
Tom!Gabrielle – Vanilla Sky
//For those who have wondered if Ricean vampires can get piercings:
“His strength puzzled him as much as anything else. […] He drove a long thin knife right through his own hand. Such a strange sensation! And blood everywhere. Then the wounds closed and he had to open them again to pull the knife out.” – Khayman My Khayman, QotD
So yes. They can heal around a foreign object without ejecting it. But unlike with humans getting piercings, it seems the ‘severed’ tissue will try to heal completely back to its former state, instead of just becoming a cleanly healed puncture which you can then pass something through without difficulty. So taking the piercings out might be uncomfortable! (And they would then need to be re-done.)
also River Phenix’ bff (at least till the perf daniel died) was Keanu Reeves who is pretty much Louis and it hurts the hell out of me how much Keanu is a life Louis (maybe not very much in looks but the voice, aethetic & personailty)
awwww… yeah I can see what you’re saying.
^“Hiding something? Me? Never! No…”
^“Hiding someONE, yes, well, I was doing that…”
What an interesting ship that could have been, too. Daniel could have brought out Louis’ sense of humor, which he DOES have. Daniel basically did ask Louis to turn him and got majorly rejected. Louis was only interested in a kayak for one at that time, or to draw Lestat out from wherever he was by painting him as a horrible monster to provoke him into breaking out a can of whoop-ass or correct the record, or both.
I see Keanu more as Khayman, tho, physically.
I have another suggestion for a possible VC casting, which would be Rami Malek as Enkil. I think he has the right face for it, and he already played the role of an Egyptian ruler in Night At The Museum. (And he was a vampire in the movie Breaking Dawn, but let’s forget those catastrophic Twilight movies.)
One of my fave topics is VC casting 😀 and Enkil doesn’t get enough love. So naturally I wrote an unnecessarily long-ass answer.
(^Rami Malek from NatM bc I couldn’t look at pics of him from Twilight, that vampire makeup was just too weird for me and that’s saying a lot bc I love the gross vampire makeup from 30 Days of Night.)
Rami is ethnically perfect and very cute and Enkil was supposedly pretty young when he started his rule:“But he was young and strong and determined to rule his land.” Maharet talking about Enkil, QOTD
And he looks like someone a giant bitch in a tiny package Strong Woman like Akasha could push around without much resistance. I vaguely remember liking Rami in NatM, all those characters were somewhat cartoonish and I always enjoy that. I’ve only seen bits of the Twilight movies but not enough to poison myself, and not enough to remember him from them 😛
But if you really want MY opinion, he’s not my first choice for Enkil.
We first really meet Enkil in TVL when Lestat meets him for a cordial discussion Enkil nearly crushes Lestat’s skull in defense of his Queenie. Even before that moment, Lestat is freaking the hell out over TWMBK. Not many characters are capable of scaring the (figurative) shit out of Lestat, and Enkil is one of them. So he needs to be able to look intimidating before he can speak or even move. Granted, some of Lestat’s flipping-out was more about the fact that they might be paralyzed inside their bodies (if you haven’t seen @remarried’s fanart of that moment you really must), but still. The near skull-crushing certainly gave him someone to be scared of in Enkil. Normally I defend all actor’s abilities over their physical characteristics, but in this case, he starts out as a statue, and needs to look intimidating without the help of fancy moves and lines.
So I imagine him looking more masculine, a hint of grimness (he orders some pretty cruel stuff if you remember!) and some mystery in his face, and I happened to see Ranveer Singh on my dash just today… and yes. Yes yes. Yisss.
Difficulty: Finding pics of Ranveer NOT smiling. I don’t know his acting, whether he does Serious at all, but physically, Ranveer matches my headcanon better than Rami. Rami might be a good Khayman, though.
I’m also not of the Social Justice Warrior contingency that demands ethnic conformance of the actor to the character. I am not politically correct *shrugs*
And Enkil does love Akasha, and I would want some snuggles like this:
I believe it was in “Queen of the Damned” in which Khayman spoke of a power akin to technopathy. He was able to understand the use, composition, and function of any device, down to a molecular level, by simply looking at it.
– woah –
I’m not sure that that’s the exact word for it, but the Ricean vampires in general have implied that they’re adaptive, inquisitive, they learn things easily and much faster than mortals. I can’t find the quotes to support it but I’m 99% sure that Lestat learned to read/write by watching people do it (his monastery schooling only gave him so much: ”I couldn’t read or write more than a few prayers and my name.” TVL)
