They always remind me of each other.

Awwww, thank you mun and muse! Fangtastic indeed, and I won’t eat them all at once. Ok, maybe half at once, and not in the house… ;D

Hey, do you have any really good screencaps of Claudia? Also the one with her finger on her mouth (can picture it but don’t remember what scene.) I’m an artist and going to attempt to draw her. Hopefully I do her justice
Ah, they’re all mixed into my stuff ;A; But yeah, another purpose, originally, of my blog was that there weren’t enough decent IWTV screencaps out there for fanartists to draw from! I ended up not having that as much, just blank, but I make my memes from screencaps I pull, and I gather production stills.
But yes do the thing! Draw her! *u*
Try #the Vampire Claudia tag, bc I usually post images when I talk about the characters. There’s also the #production still tag, but you have to dig for her. Like this one.
^This what you were looking for? Here’s a still of it:
Claudia seems to be wearing the same dress in these shots. Headcanon: it’s the same night, and she cried herself to sleep in Louis’ arms after Lestat took over her piano lesson.
what tags to you track?
I actually don’t really track any tags *embarassment* I tracked #vampire chronicles when I started out here but there’s too much in that tag for me to keep up with. Same with all the character names 😛
But! Your ask has inspired me to track these tags below, and I encourage others to use them, respectfully:
- #VC fandom love – for those moments when the fandom is extending positivity and other happy messages ❤ If you haven’t sent one in awhile, do the thing! Send it anon if you’re shy.
- #VC fandom hunters – for those seeking others to connect with in the fandom.
- #Free VC Advertising/ #VC Free Advertising – this is for when someone has inspired you to buy/read the books in the series, or watch/buy the movies that have been made, basically, reasons why a blog has actually promoted the material.
^Why does this matter? Because fanworks and discussion are sometimes blamed for decreasing consumer interest in a given copyrighted work, and if someone has encouraged your interest in the
copyrighted work, it was essentially *~FREE ADVERTISING,~* which is the OPPOSITE of “decreasing consumer interest.” Good defense.
(You can also tag me as #iwantmyiwtv,
#i want my iwtv, and #i-want-my-iwtv, I track those and check sometimes.)
I’m not sure if you’ve talked about Only Lovers Left Alive, but how well do you think Lestat would get along with the characters from that movie. I feel like he’d have a soft spot for Adam (a musician) and Eve (an intellectual), but would maybe have mixed feelings for Ava who is a little reckless.
I looooooved Only Lovers Left Alive! So many similarities to VC, I could write a thesis on it, but those characters were also beautiful in their own story. So many questions about them! I want the backstory on all of them. WHAT HAPPENED IN PARIS 87 YRS AGO?
^Bad things happen in Paris in VC, too ;A;
But look at these cuties awwww… the OLLA vampires’ personalities are totally compatible w/ VC, they seem to be characters first and the vampiring is secondary.
The OLLA vampires have different physiological rules from the Ricean vampires, and those rules dictated how they live. For one thing, Adam and Eve have arrangements w/ mortal agents to get clean blood rather than risk taking victims, whose blood could be tainted w/ modern disease or drugs, which OLLA vampires are vulnerable to. So no funtimes hunting evildoers like Lestat :[ They also don’t seem to need to drink as much blood as Ricean vampires do except for Ava bc she’s Claudia.
OLLA vampires can also stay awake during the day if they want to but are still highly flammable to sunlight, so they can probably pass as mortal somewhat better than Ricean vampires do. Eve has a sensory gift in which she can “read” the history from touching an object!
You asked about Lestat specifically, but Louis and Adam would totally bond over poetry and literature. Lestat and Eve (and/or Ava!) would go out to dive bars and rock out. Ava’s similarity to Claudia would make her an ideal hunting buddy for Lestat, but her recklessness would definitely irk him when he realizes he can’t reign her in. Ava seems as insatiable as Claudia, and even MORE selfish.
As @hyperbeeb put it so well [X]:
I’ve fully just accepted that [the OLLA vampires are] a part of the VC universe but have managed to stay out of the way of the wacky bullshit that affects the rest of the VC characters (probably due to the powers bestowed on Tilda Swinton from being an alien goddess). But maybe one day they run across Louis and Lestat and become so incredibly grateful that they don’t spend time around these other vampires (even if Lestat and Adam talked about music for like 8 hours and Lestat told Louis for days afterwards that Adam was like him except better… but less pretty don’t be offended Louis)
Hit the jump for moar pics and thoughts…
Some more comparisons bc of reasons:
^Never in the house you naughty girls!
^Little sisters to big bro/sis: “We are going to have S O M U C H fun”
^Adam would appeal to Lestat in his similarity to Nicolas, w/ the tortured musician thing and similarity to Louis with his fascinations with things (and he’s a slim brunet w/ a lot of soul like BOTH of them). Adam seems even less interested than Louis in fashion and material possessions, and his home is as disorganized as I would imagine Louis’ would be (Adam has nests of use, w/ items roughly clustered by category). I would hope that Louis takes better care of his stuff, tho. Adam and Louis both considered suicide a very real option but couldn’t do it themselves; fortunately, their loved ones dragged them back from the edge. Nicolas allegedly did suicide in canon, but there is fanon that he’s still undead, kicking around in secret.
Eve was definitely like Lestat in her confidence, curiosity for even the smallest things. Fearless, outgoing, very fashionable. Blood popsicles! She also has some positive Marius qualities to her, in that she had been turned a VERY long time ago, and is largely at peace with the way the world changes around her. Lestat would be intrigued by her tactile gift, too.
Ava is very Claudia, aged up, more optimistic, her default mood is generally pretty happy, even though it seems like she’s a pro at being kicked out of groups. Her mood can shift quickly, she’s selfish, flashy, silly, impulsive. She might have been turned anywhere from 16-24 yrs old. She even disregards the #No Killing Friends in the House rule! This is probably how Claudia would have been if she had been turned later in life.
Bonus: Adam + Louis eyerolls
