Tag Archives: Lestat de Lioncourt

Hello, I was wondering if you know of any fanart that might have been done on Louis’ brother. I know he wasn’t a major character but I would really love to be able to visualize him. Also, I know there is a fanart somewhere of Armand ranting that Marius is not Lestat’s sire. So would he also rant that Lestat is not Daniel’s sire? Since I know people tend to confuse the movies Queen of the Damned and Interview with a Vampire since they state completely different sires from the books.

Ok well… hmmm…. YOU CHALLENGE MY MEMORY AND COLLECTION and I am in a MOOD TO MEET SUCH. Let’s see what we can do….

1) Paul de Pointe du Lac

The one fanart that is specifically Paul is this one:

^I love this fanart, he’s got his brother’s raven hair and green eyes <3, but Paul is described in canon as “He had the smoothest skin and the largest blue eyes. He was robust, not thin as I am now and was then… but his eyes… it was as if when I looked into his eyes I was standing alone on the edge of the world… on a windswept ocean beach. ” (IWTV) Not sure whether it’s canon or fanon but Paul was supposedly blond. He was 15 when he died.

I have a few other things collected in my #Paul de Pointe du Lac tag, like this portrait I think is pretty canon compliant:

2) Sire drama and fanart 

  • Also, I know there is a fanart somewhere of Armand ranting that Marius is not Lestat’s sire. 

Hmmm that is a very tough one, I know I’ve seen a fanart or two like that over the years, I’ll try and dig around in my personal archives for that. I do think Armand would take more issue at that than the idea that Lestat might have been Daniel’s maker.

I mean, and I shouldn’t go here but I will, bc I think this is one of the reasons I can’t watch movie!QOTD w/o someone with me, cracking jokes at it…

Marius gets unfairly mashed together with Magnus in movie!QOTD, essentially, bc he turns Lestat w/o consent. Therefore, Marius takes on the burden of having raped Lestat into being a vampire and there is no explicit reconciliation or apology for that crime whatsoever, but he and Lestat are kicking it together in Modern Times, with Lestat seemingly bitter at him and Marius seemingly smug back? It’s ooc and uncomfortable. I think Armand would be more annoyed at Marius taking on Magnus’ actions than he would be pissed at Lestat getting to claim Marius as his own sire, since QOTD!Lestat doesn’t seem all that thrilled with that pedigree.

BUT ANYWAY if anyone out there has fanart in which Armand is ranting about Marius not being Lestat’s sire, plz send it to me, or reblog and tag me!

I have one of Lestat and Armand fighting over Marius, and @garama‘s Antonio!Armand w/ QotD!Marius which is not quiiiite what you’re asking for but might like anyway… that I’ll rebagel after this…

  • So would [Armand] also rant that Lestat is not Daniel’s sire? Since I know people tend to confuse the movies Queen of the Damned and Interview with a Vampire since they state completely different sires from the books.

Ppl may blend together certain things, but I think anyone who’s seen the movies AND read the books takes the books as more true to canon, and the movies as adaptations, which is what they are. But if ppl only see movie!QOTD, I can’t really fault them for taking that info as their own canon, if they like it. 

In MY opinion, since you’re asking: Armand will rant about it @ Daniel in private, but Armsy doesn’t tend to rant about anything he’s personally invested in when he’s in Lestat’s presence, preferring to keep a calm, collected, and unflappable profile as much as possible. Lestat knows this and loves to pester Armsy at any opportunity. There’s A LOT of joking around in the coven about those movies and how Daniel narrowly escaped having Lestat as his fictional maker…

Lestat: “You’d have liked that, wouldn’t you?” *makes a kissy face @ Dan*

Daniel: “Not saying I’d have liked it exactly, but it might’ve sped things up a little…”

Armand: “Are you saying I took too long, Daniel? I had my reasons…”

Lestat: “Dude I see someone I love, I turn them THAT NIGHT,” *snaps his fingers* “If I can possibly manage it, or the very next night, or at least that weekend, gotta strike when the iron is HOT!”

Armand: “Or else they might come to their senses and run as far away as they can get from you?”

Lestat: “HEY!”

Daniel: “I did run from you, Armand…”

Armand: “HEY!!”

Marius and Louis just sit back and watch all this, wishing that they had popcorn they could eat.

Do the VC vampires do anything for 4th of July?

They all love the fireworks, and sometimes make a point to meet up somewhere special to watch them!

[X]

This year, however, Lestat and Louis failed to leave on time to meet up w/ the coven in Florida and they landed on a beach in Delaware, made passionate love under the boardwalk as fireworks went off. After that they walked up to the water’s edge, wrapped up together in a big cheap beach towel they’d found under the boardwalk bc their clothes were bloody and shredded to bits! No surprise there. 

They watched the kids darting around and Louis was, as always, intrigued by the sparklers waving swoops and shapes of fractured light. One little girl approached them to compliment their Frozen towel and handed Louis a sparkler. He was very touched and forgot all about the gritty sand sticking to the blood across his chest and backside (under the towel, fortunately!).

Lestat watched the light of the sparkler reflected in Louis’ eyes, and for a moment, it was as if they were both just mortal boys, delighted by and in awe of this simple magic as Louis drew heart shapes, circles, and infinity loops against the darkness. 

Lestat made a mental note to buy packs of them.

So I’ve only been in the fandom a short while (about two months- 5 books in though, little slow for me but whatever) but I followed you relatively early on and for the life of me idk why but I never remember that I followed you so I’m always like “ooh, VC stuff, nice! Let me follow them…… oh. Right”

[Give us some of your first impressions, who are your faves? What are your ships? And um, excuse u, 5 books in 2 months when you have Real Life, too, that’s not slow to me, heck, when I reread just one of these books it takes me at least 2 months, squeezing it into my “Copious Amounts of Free Time” and I hope this blog isn’t spoiling you too much, if spoiling bothers you I frickin’ love being spoiled, myself). 

Awwww thank u! What a lovely thing to tell me. Welcome to our little corner of tumblrland mmmm fresh blood….

So I try to keep this thing purely VC, and I have my self-imposed post limit, so I think for A LOT of my followers, they probably are like you, and see a post from me, and go, “Oooh a VC blog, I should foll- oh yeah, I already follow it!” Sometimes I even see smtg reblogged from me on my own dash and I go, “Oooh! New VC fanart! I should reblo- I ALREADY REBLOBBED IT!” 

I used to have a rule about reblogging stuff only once so I wouldn’t have duplicates in my archive, but the audience changes, there’s tons of new ppl out on tumblr every year, so WHY THE HECK keep some awesome fanart from their dash just bc I reblogged it 2 years ago??! So I reblob stuff from my own archive sometimes, usually when I’m in there looking for smtg else and I find an old fave that PPL SHOULD SEE! ❤

BTW if you want some more VC stuff, we recently did a @vcsecretgifts, that archive has a bunch of VC fanworks in it and you can find more VC blogs that way ;D

 ^Claudia wasn’t mentioned but I rarely get to use this gif and the font is in pink, so it counts as part of a professional response from a professional fancy blogger such as myself, with the quality and candor you have all come to expect from such an eloquent and magnanimous person as such, that I, in fact, am. (Yours truly is a more than a little extra sugar high today btw)

OMG! I just found behind the scenes footage of Interview with the Vampire. It shows mostly Tom Cruise, a little bit of Anne Rice and a little bit of Brad Pitt. The video was uploaded by WalrusRider and the video is called Tom Cruise – “Interview With a Vampire” On Set Footage. Not sure if you’ve seen it already but if you haven’t check it out.

I HAD NOT SEEN IT THANK U! 

It’s so fun to see at least this shot from the other side of the door, lol…

I’ll transcribe it somewhat for y’all:

The narrator is all about the *~secrecy~* like of course Tom Cruise wanted to keep the secrecy of his costumes and makeup and whatever, so as not to spoil the surprise! We have closed sets all the time these days and back then. I don’t think that was just Tom, I think everyone involved in making the movie wanted that secrecy.

  • The narrator pronounces his name the way AR prefers, not the way it’s pronounced in the movie
  • Claudia at 0:15!
