So Lestat had Mojo. What animals do you see the other vampire’s gravitating to?

Louis@merciful-death’s Louis has a black cat named Harriet (#headcanon accepted!). She leaves him dead mice often, and according to Lestat (@devilsfool): “She hunts them to try to feed you. She’s convinced that you are a terrible hunter.”

Harriet’s first snow! Harriet was a fierce and successful huntress from an early age, trying her best to keep Louis fed ❤

I also see Louis as being visited frequently by a big stray tomcat, and Lestat doesn’t approve of this one either bc MORE CAT HAIR ON VELVET FURNITURE. Velvet is very cat-hair-ophillic. This cat doesn’t have a name but Louis calls him by a lot of baby names (”Mon chou,” “Sir Fluff,” “Kitten,”) and Lestat calls him by a lot of rude names (”Hairball,” “Trashface,” “Loaf”). This cat actually followed Harriet to their home one night, and he likes to nap with her when she allows it. 

Lestat – I know you didn’t ask about Lestat but I have to include him a little more! According to @annabellioncourt, “Lestat was also a canon dog person, and while there are people who love both (hi) I think with Lestat’s constant need for validation he’d be a total dog person.

Like no cats at all.

He hissed back at Louis’s cat once.

Lestat almost always has a dog, and he has meticulous memory of all the dogs he ever had.“

^#headcanon accepted.

Daniel – Lizards! Frogs! Snakes! Reptiles in general. Also insects. He has a big pinned collection, featuring gorgeous butterflies and buprestidae. Lestat loves this collection and goes to reptile houses with Daniel on occasion. They both love cobras.

Armand – I can’t find the canon evidence but I’m pretty sure he had big fancy aquariums on Night Island.

[X] Armand is truly fascinated with owls, owls are totes his spirit animal, deceptively powerful in their small size. Their symbolism for intelligence and careful planning. And y’know, they’re basically "flying pillows filled with seething hatred.” like Armand!

Hit the jump for a bit more.

Marius had taxidermied animals: “giant stuffed beasts mounted in lifelike attitudes – the brown bear, the lion, the tiger, even the elephant standing in his own immense chamber, lizards as big as dragons, birds of prey clutching dried branches made to look like the limbs of real trees.” -TVL

Marius also had a “giant aquarium, the great room-sized tank” filled w/ “rare and beautiful tropical fish” and caged birds. – QOTD

Claudia loved birds, especially small ones. She likes songbirds especially. She also loved rabbits but more for their fur than their personality. 

Mojo is alive fucking fight me like IGNORE THE TEARS IN MY EYES AND FIGHT ME. LESTAT TURNED HIM BECAUSE LESTAT. *cries 5ever.´*

RIP MOJO THE BEST MOST LOVABLE AND COMPLETELY UNPROBLEMATIC VC CHARACTER IN THE ENTIRE SERIES *cries 5ever w/ you*

It’s funny you mention Lestat turning him bc the question was raised, when old age finally started to rear its ugly head… “What if we could heal him with-”

Louis: NO Lestat. No.

Lestat: Just an experiment to-

Louis: We’re not making a vampire dog that’s a crime against nature we have to draw the line somewhere.

Lestat: *pouts*

Louis: *glares*

Lestat: *pouts harder*

Louis: *glares harder*

Lestat: Ok confession time: I already tried to give him a few drops of blood and he was not at all interested. Repulsed really.

Louis: *ragged sigh*

Lestat: It was worth a try! 

Louis: Then why were you even asking me?

Lestat: I thought he might prefer yours

Louis: *slaps Lestat hard across the face and storms out*

HEYYYYY MY DEAR I have a question. Do Louis and Lestat ever put makeup on eachother? And if they do, who prefers what style of makeup? (Like Lestat likes a winged eyeliner on Louis etc)

Yes, definitely! Lestat wears makeup often, typically at least guyliner (black or dark blue) and a lightweight (as in, not too “gluey”), organic lipgloss, with a rosy tint. Neither of them typically wear makeup that’s very scented or flavored, since they find those pretty chemically distasteful. 

It’s canon that Lestat wears violet shades much of the time, which are not opaque, tinted just enough to diffuse a little of the dazzling effect of his eye color but allow the artistry of his makeup to be visible. 

Louis will not put on makeup unless Lestat requests it, but does admit that it gives him an otherworldly quality. He prefers a light smokey eye and a hint of blush. 

Despite his strenuous efforts to improve, Lestat is not as talented at drawing winged eyeliner, so whenever he wants that look he has to ask Louis to do it for him. Lestat also really enjoys playing w/ metallic powders [X]:

Sometimes Lestat will see a look in a work of art, magazine, or movie, and he wants to try it out on himself or Louis. He’s copied several of David Bowie’s looks. Some nights they both get all glamorous in order to better entice victims (murderous transphobic/homophobic bigots are a favorite dinner).

Louis’ first makeover was done by Claudia (fanart by @obsessional-ram!), and he resisted at first, but it was a battle he couldn’t hope to win as she pushed him down to her level and began applying foundation and eyeshadow primer. She went for an orchid-inspired look, w/ pastel shades and then deepened the contrast with his eyes with teal green and gold eyeshadow colors, a cool-toned smokey overlay, mascara, and warm lavender blush. A deep berry lip tint completed the look.

She also braided tiny light-colored flowers into his hair, and put him in one of the maid’s dresses.

When Lestat came out of the bath, where he had been for about an hour, he was struck by the enhancements and made some mumbled excuse as to why he needed Louis’ attention immediately… and privately. Claudia was very proud of herself for producing such a positive reaction, even though on the surface she kicked and complained at being thrown out of the house on an obviously unnecessary errand “Go get us more… ah… matches! From across town!” 

The very next night, Lestat had her try out bold eyeshadows and powders on himself ;D

In canon, Lestat wears makeup at least for camouflage:

“I covered up my blue eyes, as always, with black glasses, lest their radiance mesmerize and entrance at random – a real nuisance – and over my delicate white hands, with their telltale glassy fingernails, I drew the usual pair of soft gray leather gloves.”  – Tale of the Body Thief

“Ah, a bit of oily brown camouflage for the skin. I smoothed the lotion over my cheekbones, over the bit of neck and chest that was bare.”

Tale of the Body Thief

I had a nightmare were Lestat kept trying to kill me along with like 50+ vampires. But Louis saved me. It was scary.

Désolé, mon cher, I would prefer to have the spotlight in your pleasurable dreams. Are you certain I was aiming for you? Perhaps there was someone behind you who deserved my wrath? I’ll tuck you into bed properly tonight.

Oh, and I don’t need such an army. I can usually handle these heated debates on my own. Well, to be a little more honest, gathering up such an army and getting them to fight together is an enormously taxing feat of production. Like herding cats. So perhaps it was some other gorgeous blond but incredibly weak vampire you saw, who would require such an entourage *winks*

Louis is truly an angel, is he not? *sighs dreamily* He’s saved me from terrible things, too. Mostly from myself. 

…Perhaps that’s why I didn’t try to contact him before my… business trip to the Gobi desert. I didn’t want him to save me then, and I’m sure he would have tried his best to do so.

I gave the vampire’s fear of sunlight a physiological explanation that had to do with the physiological laws that govern a spirit world or a cosmology. The spirit that has taken them over and made them inhuman is too sensitive to sunlight. It can’t thrive in sunlight — it’s simply paralyzed by sunlight, and weakened — and it can’t enliven their flesh. Therefore, the flesh starts to burn, because the flesh is dead anyway. The dark gift of immortality has different effects on different people. That they respond in different ways. Some people are emboldened, and some people are weakened. Some people are crippled by it, and destroyed by it. Other people are made into monsters by it. But the fundamental thing that happens with Louis is that it doesn’t change him. He is a guilt-ridden adult, living in grief over his dead brother, and he becomes a guilt-ridden vampire, living in grief over the fact that he has to take life in order to live. Perhaps it’s a lesson to Lestat that the basic personality doesn’t always change.
