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

Leave a comment

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 actually stopped reading the VC after “The Vampire Armand” (of course I picked up again at “Prince Lestat) – what do you think, should I read “Merrick”?

Yes, READ THE BOOK!

Idk, I would always advocate reading the books, as cracky as some of them can be, bc there are always moments that are really great! Single lines worth digging up, some phrasing that hits you #Right in the Feels. Don’t you want to know what happened to Louis, David, and Lestat, before PL? You don’t have to agree with it but the ride is always at the very least stimulating… you can always just skim it for plot points if reading it is too much of an investment.

If you like Louis, especially yes! This is a story he gets a starring role in. It’s cracky but heartbreaking, and it changes the dynamics of the relationship between Louis and David, and between Louis and Lestat, and also there’s a strong FEMALE character?! Who is NOT a Mary Sue (ok she has some Mary Sue elements but whatever I liked her)? Woah. 

It also changes Louis physically, gives him the powers we see him use in PL, and it also allows him to experience a new level of intimacy with Lestat (and others potentially) that he refused to have before. It changes him emotionally, but we don’t get too deep into the specifics on that, but I think we’re starting to see those effects in PL. 

My main issue with it is that it would have been SO MUCH MORE fun from Merrick’s (or Louis’!) own POV, rather than David’s. David was largely a third wheel and I didn’t really care about his youth in the jungles. More interested in the voodoo that Merrick could do, and especially how she used it on Louis ;A; <—Hopefully not really spoiling anything there bc I’m being really general in that statement.

antoineandthepiano made this lovely aesthetic pic set and description about Merrick, but there ARE spoilers there, FYI. antoineandthepiano’s description is gr9 tho and worth being spoiled for. YOU MAKE THAT CHOICE YERSELF THO.

I don’t remember if Merrick spoils any other major plot points from books that come before it, I don’t think so. I recall it as being almost a standalone novel. 

I’m trying to get together an Armand cosplay and I need help figuring out outfit choices. I’ll be doing a modern Armand and I don’t really know what modern outfit choices that I could use. Can you please help me owo???

Yah sure! First of all: @chrissydeath and @amadeo-child-of-the-renaissance are fab Armand cosplayers/artists and also @sheepskeleton​, who has drawn Armand in modern outfits, they’d probably have better suggestions than mine but I WILL TRY.

I’d suggest looking at fanart of Armand, and unfortunately, I don’t have my #fanart collection divided into different characters so I pulled a few memorable ones out for ya here ;D Go ahead and jump in that tag for more, if u dare.

The crucial part of any Armand cosplay is his hair, of course, but everything else is p. much up to you. What would you headcanon he wears? Sometimes he likes to be all decked out in pricey fitted clothes, but he also has a sense of humor, he probably went for all kinds of silliness in the ‘70′s (and he still goes to 70′s themed parties bc of course he does), but I think he’s most comfortable in tight black pants or skinny jeans, a loose t-shirt (Daniel’s probably), and a well-worn light-weather jacket. He looks great in fur for winter, too.

In no special order, some fanart w/ Armand in modern fashion.

[X] Awww you sweet thing! I’m sure there are some who fit that description… I don’t really ask much in terms of loyalty. Having a hungry audience is pretty much reward in itself ♥u♥

——->——->——-> DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA how long I obsessed over this stuff alone?? Well, okay, I had a few RL VC friends who had to bear the brunt of my… outpourings. Dark times…

i-want-my-iwtv:

I’m not sure if you’re referring to Antonio!Armand specifically but u probably are, and I know, I know… he is the fandom’s punching bag, I KNOW. 

But consider perusing my #defending Antonio tag, where you will find my theories as to why they cast smne who isn’t remotely trying to be physically similar to the character described in the book (except for his wardrobe maybe?). His acting was still very true to the character so give him some credit for that. Very seductive of Louis. But yeah, Denis (played by

Louis Xavier Lewis-Smith) looks more like Armand should have looked:

The biggest reason for Antonio!Armand being that I think AR merged Santino and Armand for that movie bc of reasons. So treat him like Santino and that should lessen the pain *hugs*

i’m more talking about louis (havent encountered armand yet lol). louis’s acting is perfect but like appearance and voice wise he’s just not what i pictured in my head at all. im kinda iffy on lestat too, although he’s growing on me as the movie goes on.

claudia however is perf

The comic commission for @i-want-my-iwtv based on the strip comic reference she gave me :]!

I gave out the final lined+toned versions so here’s a peek of that!

OKAY I love this too much NOT to reblog this NSFW version of it. The final lined+toned versions I am keeping to myself for now bc I am evil 

¯_(ツ)_/¯

The strip comic reference I gave him is here, which is a fandom treasure, and truth be told I just needed to see it… *~spicier~*. As you can see, I changed the dialogue and blocking somewhat to fit this hawt version >;}

Hahaha! Lestat that is not a shirt. That is like…  like someone slapped an x on a man’s torso and added a mockturtle neck to class it up.
