do you guys think louis gave himself a shitty haircut and wore an ugly sweater just to piss off lestat because i think so also louis wore paisley in the 70s pass it on yall
mah boi decided to put a bible to good use by pressing flowers w/it, screw actually reading it; plus, he’s immortalizing the flowers (in a dead state), so it’s kinda like he’s vamping them up too, idk
This is actually the last request. Thank you to everyone who asked for something! I hope I was able to make someone at least a little bit happy with my stuff. Love y’all ;*
Canonically, his hair is first (and arguably best) described here:
“He stared at the vampire’s full black hair, […] the curls that barely touched the edge of the white collar.” – Interview with the Vampire
^But he might have trimmed it that night, he did dress up for the interview, too! So he did pay some attention to his appearance.
I can’t recall anywhere in canon that Louis wears a hair ribbon/tie, which would give us that it’s at least long enough for that, so I don’t think it’s necessarily even that long.
Re: Brad!Louis hair: When I read IWTV for the first time it was the summer before the movie came out; they were already teasing about the movie, we knew who was playing Louis, and I’d seen Brad in other things and then saw the movie itself, so I admit that Brad!Louis influenced my headcanon of him in the beginning; I would have answered Brad!Louis then. Especially bc I have wavy-curly hair myself and had fought it most of my childhood, so Louis’ hair being described as silky was my idea of manageable (straight, slightly wavy) hair!
^And this can’t be an accident that they included this very blatant non-consensual fondling of Louis’ hair right when he’s about to be punished by Santiago & Co.
Since that time, I’ve read plenty of fanfic and seen plenty of fanart that depicts Louis with varying hair lengths and textures, and after private debates with @wicked-felina, I accepted canon!Louis hair as preferable, but really, I love it all. I have an ability to enjoy
contradictory
canon and fanfic, parallel processing them both.
Most recently I’ve been very supportive of Ezra Miller’s hair from Madame Bovary as Louis hair. It’s full, meaning VOLUME, it’s more wavy at the top and curlier further down, and just long enough to touch his collar:
so like i was curious and sketched louis with long hair. same hair type and face i usually draw him with, just longer strands—but he ended up looking more like a nicki?? and that already goes against everything i believe in bc nicki and louis are two very separate ppl stfu lestat
so then i decided to try the brad pitt hair, but with my already-very-feminine-art-style he just became somebody’s bitchy sister?? ?

how do y’all do it lol
Louis can be like a bitchy sister sometimes, so you’re not wrong… he’s Claudia’s (and others…) bitchy older brother, technically!
There’s similarities between Nicolas and Louis, and when Lestat says they’re like twins, he emphasizes the similarity in their personalities:
I fell fatally in love with Louis, a young dark-haired bourgeois planter, graceful of speech and fastidious of manner, who seemed in his cynicism and self destructiveness the very twin of Nicolas. (TVL)
The hair Brad!Louis had will always have a place in my heart, long and Barbie-like, almost chestnut color (I think Brad himself called it “Lion King” hair”)! I don’t remember why it was that long, there’s some story out there about how Brad insisted on keeping it long bc it had to be long in another movie he would be filming close to that time and wouldn’t have time to regrow it, or that it was a decision made by Neil Jordan or someone else in charge *shrugs*
BUT ANYWAY I wouldn’t trample on anyone’s depictions of Louis, #Your Headcanon May Vary, and all that! Give us more, we are insatiable ❤
