I could fill novels with fashion advice! You’ll have to be more specific, ma petite. Depends on the occasion. Comfort first, clean, crisp, a dash of structure. Some metal. Other flair if you have the guts for it. Leopard print can count as a neutral now, who would’ve ever thought?!
[^X by @garama] Louis may never “get it” with fashion, but I’ll be damned if I’ll be seen in public with him when he’s dressed like the equivalent of mouldy American white bread when I am a divine Parisian croissant.
And don’t forget the importance of accessories, so much the better if they’re functional, too *winks*
Bonjour! (Ok so now that you’ve set foot past the threshold, you’re going to have to read the books to really get involved in this fandom. There’s far too much in canon that’s not in movie!IWTV.)
But for funsies let’s consider it: Where did Lestat go and what did he do after he got control of the car? Well, geographically, he was heading away from San Francisco on the Golden Gate Bridge and dawn was approaching rapidly, so he would’ve had to stop and find shelter on the other side ASAP. He probably had to bury himself somewhere in the Kirby Cove Campground. I don’t think he would’ve had enough time to turn Daniel that night. Maybe he tied Daniel up somewhere nearby, or maybe Daniel agreed to stand by and keep watch for the day? FANFIC/FANART REQUEST.
[X] So technically, and I hate to break it to ya, but Lestat *riding off into the sunrise* w/ Daniel is not canon. They added that to the end of the movie to end on a lighter note than they might have otherwise.
In the book, Daniel goes looking for Lestat in NOLA and finds Armand instead, hilarity ensues.
Plot and ships would have had to shuffle around to accommodate a Lestat/Daniel ship. I ship them as a BroTP, if that does anything for ya.
Yeah, she did live a little longer in the book ;A;
EDIT: Madeleine vampired for 1 week only! (Thanks @queenofthesavagegarden)It was long enough that she went back to destroy her old doll shop, no longer needing the replicas of her lost daughter bc she had Claudia! And she also spent time making Claudia-sized furnishings so that Claudia could feel, at least in her own home, that she was the “right size.” ;A;
Different kind of anguish in the movie, being that it’s the SAME NIGHT Madeleine was turned, if she had just listened to Louis, she wouldn’t be dying that morning. In the book, having had that time with Claudia, it’s awful that they had to die so soon because that time was still so brief.
I haven’t studied the MBTI personality theory well enough to do this, so I can’t say 😛
[^X] I’ll open this up to everyone else to answer, tho!
Also, I think it could be interesting if ppl take the Personality Test in a character of their choice and let me know the results, and see if multiple ppl get the same result for specific characters. Do the thing!
(But I also feel like applying human psychology may not be so easy to do to vampires… they are people first and vampires second, but we know that the way they experience and process emotions changes post-turning. It seems like their emotions are especially volatile as fledglings for some amount of time.)
Yep, she gave us their birthdates (Louis – October 4; Lestat – November 7) outside of canon. Neither date is mentioned explicitly in canon, and so some ppl do not accept that information as canon.
(There is also some fanon that Armand’s bday is November 11, which AR never mentioned at all.)
I don’t recall the vampires ever celebrating their birthdays explicitly in canon, but I headcanon that some of them do. Some of them prefer to celebrate the date they were turned, some celebrate both (exception: I headcanon that Lestat doesn’t celebrate the date he was turned) and some celebrate neither (Khayman, maybe).
EDIT: Claudia mentions in her diary entry in QOTD that Sep. 21 is the night her dads honor every year as her birthday, and she doesn’t know why. It’s probably the night she was turned, bc Lestat tells her “‘It was the day you were born to us.’ ” It’s Michele Rice’s birthday, Anne Rice’s daughter.
[X] BTW, I was looking for a reference as to Lestat and Louis’ birthdays for an Ask and found this. Someone used one of my memeythings for Becket’s birthday in 2015. The POTP are aware of me… *shudders*
And no, AR was not among the 21 who Liked that pic.
Um, autocorrect maybe??? But I get you, it always makes me think of Saint Nicholas aka old skool Santa Klaus… and then I have to put in annoyed 90′s Trent Reznor for Nicolas bc I LOVE HIM of reasons…
BUT…. I think I figured it out! In the translations of her books into other languages, maybe they spelled his name like that for some reason? And she got so many questions from ppl who wrote it that way TO HER that she assumed it actually WAS that way? BC she hasn’t really mentioned him in canon since 1985? IDK *throws up hands*
Regardless… even though he didn’t choose his name, Nicki has no patience for his name being misspelled.
FOR REAL?? My gut reaction is NO. Also Anne can you please spell it Nicolas w/o the H? Plz? *cries*
^This person makes a good point but… idk, Louis and Nicki are not the same. I feel like it would seem too much like “Louis” is trying to trick Lestat, a weird consideration I’d rather not have introduced.
