I’m confused! Louisiana is in USA as well as New Orleans but Lestat is French and Louis too…… I don’t get it!

Movie!IWTV sorta gives the impression that Louis was born in New Orleans and only briefly has Lestat admitting to coming from France. They are actually both from France! (and BTW, New Orleans is a city in Louisiana, which is a state in the USA).

The Pointe du Lacs came to the US from France at some unspecified point in his life, but most people headcanon it was when Louis was a young child, too young to remember.

  • “We’d received a land grant and settled two indigo plantations on the Mississippi very near New Orleans… You see, we lived far better there than we could have ever lived in France.” – Louis de Pointe du Lac, IWTV

The de Lioncourts* lived in a poor provincial town in the middle of nowhere, aka the Auvergne region, in France:

  • “…my father’s land in the Auvergne in France, and these were the last decades before the French Revolution.” – Lestat de Lioncourt, TVL

*Note that Lestat’s mother was Italian (she grew up in Naples) so he and his brothers are all technically half-French, half-Italian.

lestydelioncourt:

when I read IWTV I freaked tf cause a little while after I was listening to New Orleans by Stevie Nicks and I had this amazing revelation because two things I love became connected!
but seriously:

‘I wanna brush by Anne Rice’
‘I wanna brush by the vampires’

I completely lost it when I connected to dots! Two of my favourite things came together.

OMG I didn’t know about this song! it’s *~beautiful~*

btw… cloudsinvenice would probably want this mentioned:​ Sting did “Moon Over Bourbon St,” inspired by book!IWTV ;]

‘I have stood many times outside her window at night
To struggle with my instinct in the pale moonlight
How could I be this way when I pray to god above
I must love what I destroy and destroy the thing I love’
