Who is that little boy that hangs around Armand? That little boy Louis bites on the hand.
That’s Denis. He’s Armand’s pet. We don’t know much about him.
3 things about this bite:
1. After watching the gruesome performance at the Theatre, Louis and Claudia are both pretty hungry. Seems like a courtesy offering to a vampire, like you might offer someone water or soda or whatever when they’re a guest in your house. In the book, Claudia gets a bite of Denis, too.
2. Seems like a trust-building exercise. All the vampires in the Theatre are watching him, and we’ve seen how easy it is to poison a vampire. Louis accepting this offering is a show of good faith, trusting them that they’re not poisoning him right then.
3. Killing/drinking blood is a very sensual experience for vampires, Louis describes sex as “the pale shadow of killing.” Makes sense then, that Louis does not like to be watched doing it. Also, he’s usually unable to stop himself from killing his victims. Armand’s mind gift is very strong, and he’s enjoying this whole moment on a deeper level.
We know that Denis is fiercely devoted to Armand, he even drives the getaway carriage for him and Louis after Louis serves his revenge at the Theatre des Vampires, en flambé, of course.
Gonna need you to read smtg for the team, you glutton for punishment. Think you can take it? Your mission, should you choose to accept it: “Bleeding Indy” by Siobhan A Stevens (supposedly has a “Lestat” in it?? Has vampires anyway). Apparently it’s the first in a series and was given away in goodiebags at one of AR’s NOLA balls.
Yeah I think I can do that. Not until next month though.
Huzzah! I’m opening this up to anyone else, too. Who’s gonna join Team hyperbeeb in this misson:impossible undesirable?
Okay, so not Louis. He doesn’t read trash.
Do certain weather conditions bother the VC vampires? Like very cold weather or very hot weather? Does it effect them like it would effect a human?
Ooooh #Vampire physiology (sending the vampire bat signal out to fellow Ricean vampire authority vampchronfic and for the non-Ricean vampires, askavampirologist).

In short, they can handle much colder temps than mortals can. Their default temperature is cold, and it seems like they prefer to be warm, since they’re only really hot right after a fresh feeding >;}
Louis has mentioned in canon that he dislikes the cold but he insists on wearing threadbare sweaters, it seems to be a form of self-punishment (and murder-husband-punishment since he knows Lestat doesn’t approve of the constant 90’s grunge/Derelicte look).
It’s not discussed in canon in huge detail, and I’m sure it varies vampire-to-vampire, so I’ll just give you Louis and Lestat answers.
In IWTV Louis would wander around, “standing in the rain like a zombie until your clothes are drenched and you smell like old wardrobe trunks in attics and have the look of a baffled idiot at the zoo.” This was probably warm rain, being NOLA. He might have been so transfixed with his new senses that he didn’t mind what might be uncomfortable for us/other vampires. Lestat certainly didn’t approve bc like “i buy you such beautiful outfits and you put them on WIRE HANGERS *ahem* no, actually, you go ruining them in the RAAAAAINNN.” *sulk*
When Lestat flies, he doesn’t mention needing to get extra bundled-up to deal with the colder air altho i like the idea of him looking for the BIGGEST WARMEST FUR-LINED PARKAS so that when he takes to the air w/ Louis, he can cocoon them together bc awwwww…-
They seemed to enjoy the humidity and heat of NOLA. I imagine that they’re like big cats or lizards, always looking for warm spots to lounge around in to deal with their default coldness. Lestat’s always been a big fan of lighting all the candles in a room for the light, which might also be for the warmth; even one candle adds a surprising amount of heat.
Of course Louis, the pyromaniac, is really in an OTP with Fire, that should tell you smtg about the kinda temperature he prefers! ❤
When I find myself in times of trouble Father Louis come to me, speaking words of wisdom “You crazy, careless, flamboyant, vain monster, I don’t mean this to hurt you but I love you”.
And he said all this in the space of 4 pages lol
*Lestat’s thoughts after finishing IwtV*
Lestat: Ok… That sounds fake but ok.
So the Priapae is a thing
Talking about the Priapus jokes, I can totally picture Lestat reciting some verses from the Priapeia to Louis. For example:
– “Simpler far to declare in our Latin, Lend me thy buttocks; What shall I say to thee else?”
– “Pierced with a foot-long pole thy skin shall be stretched in such fashion, Thou shalt be fain to believe ne’er had a wrinkle thine arse. ”
– “Such be the fruits that youth who owneth the flourishing fieldlet, Placed on the table of stone, naked Priapus! for thee. ”
– “This staff in robbers’ vitals deep shall plunge, Up to its bushy base and bag of balls. ”
– Oh, and there’s many many MANY more.
^Well that was informative. Try memorizing these for hilariously better insults to hurl at your friends and family!
