Interview with the Vampire Chapter 1 in a nutshell. So far Louis is a mopey bastard,
EquiusThe interviewer sweats too much, and Lestat is just SO PRETTY you guys.One time Lestat punched me in the face. It was awesome.
Every time I remember the vampire chronicles I need to look this up and reblog it because best fanart of the series ever.
Tag Archives: Louis de Pointe du Lac
just murder husbands things: when he inappropriately invokes god to justify killing people, and it’s weirdly comforting
NICE
when my childhood fandom and my adult fandom coincided and it felt so damned good
I’m a super fan of Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles since I was like 12 but I never felt comfortable enough with my art style to draw them. But I’m really thankful for my old friends who tolerate me since then with my gay vampire appreciation talks.
Vadim Shatilov as Louis (with green contact lenses, ofc) what do you think?
Hmmm… I can see why you might suggest this person, there’s definitely an otherworldly presence there, subtly androgynous features.
(I’m not going to add here that
Shatilov “has the perf hair zomg!” bc there’s debate about Louis’ hair, and I enjoy both options separately, the fanon: long and silky like Shatilov here; and the more canon: short and wavy/full like Ezra Miller. There are even more variations of headcanons about his hair than these two but I think they’re the two main options.)
And Louis is supposed to be slender…
^Idk, for my headcanon, Louis is slender but muscled, too. He’s a fighter! He was living a pretty unhealthy lifestyle, and ppl tried to bleed out his mortal madness twice (or more times), he’d need to be a somewhat sturdy to withstand all that. Anyway, Shatilov
could be a young Louis, a teenage Louis maybe!
Look at this cute smile:
Hey, Lestat! May I just say that if Louis realized how truly beautiful he is, he would fall to his own feet. Just sayin.
♛You may say so. He has no idea how delicious he is. No matter how many times he’s told. Probably for the best.
He’s actually very sensitive about being objectified like this, so I try to keep my appreciation of him to my physical expression of love, when he invites it, rather than verbal praise *winks*
Out of all the vampire characters in The VC series which vampire would you say is the most dangerous most capable of taking a human’s life? If I were walking home from work or from a college class at night, which vampire do I not want following me and which vampire do I not want to encounter?
Most dangerous vampire? Following/encountering you at night?
Most of the VC vampires choose victims who are “Evildoers,” people who have committed crimes against their fellow man and seem like they will continue to do so. Examples: drug dealers, an elderly abuser, “gangsters,” serial killers.
If you’re basically an innocent person*, most VC vampires won’t be interested in killing you. They’d rather just flirt with you, take you out dancing or something, and sneak in for a Little Drink, which can let them indulge in their preference for innocent blood and let you continue living, too 😉 Win-win!
*I mean, yeah, “Let he who is w/o sin cast the first stone” and all that, we all have our own share of “sins,” but if they don’t add up to Evildoer status, you’re an Innocent in VC terms.
As far as being KILLED, you can worry about:
- Louis, because as far as I know (at least up until PL), he doesn’t choose his victims based on guilt/innocence, he just takes whoever crosses his path when he’s out looking for dinner. The way to survive a Louis attack is to tell him about yourself; he doesn’t like to know ANYTHING about his victims.
- Claudia (back when she was around anyway), is a terror bc she enjoys taking innocent life.
- Nicolas and Antoine, I don’t know their preferences. They could go either way.
- Gabrielle probably doesn’t care about your guilt/innocence either, but might attack you if you were out in the wilds somewhere, maybe if you were going for the same deer that she was going for, too. She has no qualms about killing innocent people anywhere, tho. Her very first victim was innocent and she made no comment about it.
- Not sure about Pandora, IIRC, she ripped a heart out of a victim’s chest, I don’t think that victim was an evildoer.
I don’t know the PL or PLROA characters well enough to mention them but anyone is welcome to reblog/comment about those or any VC vampires in response to Anon’s question.
Have you read any good Louis/ Lestat fics that you would recommend?
Fanfic?? there’s no such thing as VC fanfic… pfffft. What are you crazy honestly??! J/k it’s out there. *blows kisses at AO3*
Recommendations…
Thanks for asking! I haven’t had a fanfic rec request in awhile.
However, as far as “good L/L fics,” that is wholly and wildly subjective. The danger of recommending any fic runs the same risk of doing those Follow Forever posts, which I don’t do, because I’ve seen ppl who were left out feel hurt and excluded.
Recommending fic feels slightly different to me bc it’s up to every reader whether they like something or not, and I don’t read every fic with that pairing. My closer VC friends and I happen to agree on many favorite fics and that’s been wonderful, but please ask other ppl for recommendations, too. Anyone is welcome to reblog/comment with recs!
My tags:
- #fanfic – some of this tag is more about the topic of fanfic itself, but there are fics mixed in there.
- #Fresh fanfic
- #damn you and your perfect headcanon perfection tags here.
- There’s also some fine stuff in the @vcsecretgifts archive.
Archive of Our Own (aka AO3) has a mission statement about protecting fanworks from copyright infringement arguments, so I feel pretty safe recc’ing stuff that’s on there:
- Gulfport: A British Petroleum Fanfic (Part One) by hw_campbell_jnr – There are 2 parts and it’s incomplete but this is devastatingly beautiful long!fic. Hipster modern Lestat and Louis, Lestat going by a pseudonym, politics woven in, it’s just too good. It annoys me how good it is. I am annoyed. I would be less annoyed if it were COMPLETED.
-
by Rebness (@wicked-felina) – what I love about this, among other things, is that it really is retail therapy for Lestat without that needing to be explained, and has a sweet ending ❤
- The Grim Brothers by Rebness
– incomplete but it’s a fun little werewolf AU! I hope the author picks it up again someday *NUDGES*
- The Hostile Takeover by StellaMachiavelli (@stellamachiavelliici) – is a legendary fic.
“Lestat de Lioncourt is a high-flying businessman out for revenge on ruthless boss Santino, with the help of his best friend David Talbot. There’s just one complication: on Santino’s side is Lestat’s ex, Louis de Pointe du Lac.” - The Sexting Caper by Gairid – because sexting!
- The Haunting by Gairid – A haunted object.
- Gairid (@gairid, @vampchronfic) also has some excellent long!fics and collaborations with Leshan that are worth checking out, too many to list here.
- My stuff… see Burnadette_dpdL. De Motu Cordis is not my fave but has one of the highest hit counts. L/L lovey fluff *blushes*
- One Night in New Orleans by iskra667 – L/L angst, fluff, warning: it explores some darker themes and contains dubious consent.
- Childhood memory – a harsh lesson is learned (not the official title) @devilsfool – not L/L but I always have to rec it, a response to an Ask, a first kiss, child!Lestat.
- Lestat’s actual birthday (not the official title) by @viaticumforthemarquise –
not L/L but I always have to rec it,
Gabrielle’s POV on the day Lestat is born oh gawds! Baby!Lestat
