Thank you! Comments like these make it all worth it *u*

Ha! You have a good point there. A pointy point.#Headcanon accepted.

I could write a thesis on this. DON’T WORRY I WON’T DO THAT.
(BTW, if you’re just looking for music reccs, I have a VC fanmix, fanmix, and music tag for that)
First of all, you have to consider when are they listening to music? It can be solitary or social…
Armand ~
♫
Enjoys gathering a small audience and hiring live musicians to play complicated classical pieces. Or asking that vampires who can play things come and entertain them. He still loves Sybelle at the piano, even better that her repertoire has expanded beyond the Appassionata. Antoine has played lively duets with her.
Otherwise, Armand throws on huge wireless headsets while perusing art galleries. He’ll listen to anything others recommend to him, he shares a Spotify account so that anyone can try out his playlist, which has a broad spectrum of musical styles.
Armand is drawn to works that are used in ice skating competitions, oddly. It is a recent obsession.
David ~
♫
Musicals, anything upbeat. Has a love for Spanish culture, Flamenco, like the Gypsy Kings. Without much urging, Lestat will put on makeup and dress up in a Flamenco gown and dance with David in public!
David’s rainy-day guilty pleasure are artists like Michael Bolton, for when he’s home alone, feeling left out of the coven activities.
He also loves Sting; the song that hooked him was Desert Rose, which Marius sent him on a mix-CD because of the Arabic singer, Cheb Mami.
Louis ~
♫
It takes a long time for Louis to warm up to new bands, and he likes a few pieces by Hozier which Lestat added to Louis’ outdated iPod. It’s an older gen model but it still works fine, so Louis doesn’t see a need to replace it.
He prefers pieces without lyrics, ambient works that he can melt into while reading.
The Blade Runner movie that Armand got him to watch the first time made Louis a Vangelis fan and a fan of film soundtracks. He often plays the Gone Girl soundtrack.
Marius ~
♫
Daniel and Lestat have introduced him to alot of modern music. Marius will listen while he paints. Marius is the biggest Hozier fan of the four discussed.
I have to agree with you on that. It’s a very ballsy anthem, a very, “I may not know everything about this world, but when I get knocked down, hell if I’m gonna let it keep me down!”
There’s a mention of a guy in it, and it’s easy to see this as a young and fragile Lestat:
He was no more (He was no more) Than a baby then Well, he seemed broken hearted Somethin’ within him But the moment That I first laid Eyes on him All alone on the edge of seventeen
He’s only ever wanted to be loved, if you look at all the instances of him Doing the Thing, it was in pursuit of that goal. Religion taught him that to be loved, you must be Good. The idea is that Goodness makes one worthy of love, even when his religious beliefs have waned. The trouble is that his formative years were a confusing series of neglect and abuse (with little love from Gabrielle), the first real love he ever really shared was probably with Nicolas. And that ended pretty badly ;A;
So he still struggles with how to love (and not merely possess), and be loved (allow people to love him).
