Tfw you wanna kick Lestat’s fucking ass: The series
in the movie, louis’s eye color changed once he experienced mortal death and became a vampire. Do you think this is a normal occurrence or simply something added for effect for the film?
*Takes a deep breath* *Tries not to write a lot* *Writes a lot anyway*
I think it was both. Added for effect for the movie but also, their eye color IS enhanced with the Dark Gift. Here look at Louis’s pretty eyes change color:
First moments as a new vampire would be intense, Vampiring has just been installed into the system and director Neil Jordan probably wanted to make it very clear to the audience that this moment is as significant a moment as birth, and other than seeing the blood dry up and absorb into his face, and now we see the blue veins more prominently, it’s the eyes that really convince us that a change is happening. The eyes are the window to the soul!
In VC, it’s often noted explained at enormous length and exquisitely vivid detail how beautiful Louis’ emerald green eyes are *u* Both before and after turning.
Short answer is, in canon, the Blood enhances what you already have. The amount of that enhancement varies.

Movie!IWTV does not align with book!IWTV on eye color. It isn’t mentioned in the books that their eye color changes by a particular tonal measurement; the Dark Gift is different for each of them, but what it does do consistently is enhance what the fledgling already had as a mortal.
For example, Armand has warm brown eyes as a mortal, IIRC, and they take on a golden (or amber) glow when he is turned.
Their eyes brighten and darken at different times in the movie, maybe it’s related to the intensity of their emotional state. I know for a fact that they all (main adult cast, not Claudia or Denis) had at least two shades of contacts in their color: a normal set and a brighter set and of course there may have been times, as with Orlando Bloom in LOTR, that someone forgot to put the contacts in before shooting, that’s human error.

Chastising your idiot child who could’ve finished you both would be intense:
Finding out that your daughter has polluted her own bed, less intense or intense in a different way? i mean it’s HER bed after all you don’t sleep with her thank goodness:
Pleased with self for A+ parenting, low intensity:
// I dunno, “My Immortal” is still so much worse, in my opinion. But that BV excerpt is still close enough to that level of bad that you can’t not see it.
The resemblance is uncanny!

Hi! I love your blog, and I have a question for you! My favorite character is Louis, and I’ve heard that he features more prominently as a character in Merrick. I’ve heard good and bad about Merrick, but I’ve never read it myself. Is it worth a read? (I’m getting back into the VC after a long time away, and I only read a handful of the books.)
Thank you I love my blog tooooo *u* heh so humble, too
Yes, READ THE BOOK!
antoineandthepiano made this lovely aesthetic pic set and description about Merrick for a Merrick RPer, forgotten-mayfair. You might want to ask them both about the book for more detail, any Children of Darkness (that’s what VC Fandom ppl are calling oureselves now) can also feel free to reblog this and add comments. I didn’t want to steal antoineandthepiano’s description from their post, go check that out!
Basically, if you love Louis, this is definitely a novel with alot of him in it, doing alot of serious stuff. It will hit you right in the feels. You might need to take breaks while reading it.
I don’t remember if it spoils any other major plot points from books that come before it, but I seem to recall it as being almost a standalone novel. It does spoil the fact that certain characters in the novel were not vampires in previous novels.
