you know what i really want? a modern dudebro vampire. just a typical obnoxious straight boy in a neon tank top and cargo shorts who also happens to be a creature of the night.
“okay, dude, i’m only feeding on you ‘cause i’m starving and there aren’t any hot girls around. no homo.” “wait, you’re gonna suck my blood?” “no, i’m gonna drink your blood. i don’t suck, that’s gay. don’t make this weird, bro”
“ah, i see you’re staring pensively out the window, chad. ruminating on the curse of your newfound immortality?” “nah man, it’s just… i got, like, some flecks of blood on my adidas while i was feeding and they haven’t come out…”
“we do not drink… wine.” “okay but is beer cool? and can we still smoke weed?”
he joins a 24-hour gym because being undead and allergic to sunlight is no excuse for skipping leg day. tragic music swells as he looks over his “sun’s out guns out” tanks (he has seven of them). his coven is a fraternity. someone make this happen

Alright *shoves Lestat aside* to answer your question: How to pronounce Louis de Pointe du Lac: you’re lucky I took French in high school which has been EVER so useful to me in my adult life. NOT.
Louis: “Loo-wee”, with less emphasis on the “wee” part.
de: “dih,” means “from” in French.
Pointe: “Pwan” with almost no emphasis on the “n,” means “tip.”
du: “due,” means “of.”
Lac: “Lack,” means, “lake.”
BRING IT ALL TOGETHER! Emphasis on Pointe and Lac bc of reasons.
“Loo-wee dih Pwan due
Lack,” “Louis from the tip of the lake.”
This has been your French lesson.
With the blessing of i-want-my-ivtv (praise be to you Uncle Lestan!) and one
shoulder left (sword-mishandling during a blessing happens a lot more than you
can imagine), here’s a
little tutorial on how to pronounce Louis’ name.
Warning: strong French accent incoming.
IT GOT BETTER. your French accent is impeccable. PARFAIT JUSTE PARFAIT. am I gonna need to coerce you into pronouncing more stuff properly in French hmmmmm?… also you pronounced Lestat the way I prefer, too, none of this weird Germanic “Les-DOT” crap Mater tries to get us to do.
So I just nominated Louis in the FFA Woobie-Off. After some deliberation I nominated movie!Louis rather than book!Louis, because Brad Pitt’s tragic face clinched it, and also he just seems so much more passive in the movie. We must hope for him to beat all the other woobies:
// that scene where Lestat lunges at Louie from off screen and starts to drink from him cracks me up because it reminds me so much of the R.O.U.S.’s scene from the Princess Bride hahaha
//It is my firm headcanon that Daniel Molloy taught Armand to drive, during Armand’s “learn all of the technology” phase. Which had to have been about the most frustrating and simultaneously terrifying experience of Daniel’s young mortal life. (Can you imagine trying to teach Armand to merge onto a freeway while he’s more concerned at watching the speedometer and asking how it works? CAN YOU?)
“It’s not legal to drink while you’re in a car, Daniel.” “STOP LOOKING AT ME AND PAY ATTENTION TO THE GODDAMN ROAD.”
For this reason, I also think Daniel never stops giving Armand shit about his driving and always tries to insist on taking the wheel when they go anywhere together in a car (this is a fight he probably loses a lot.)
Do I look like I know what a jay-peg is?
Lestat, in Prince Lestat, probably (via remarried)
