– Louis: Hates the big crowds that come with the festivity but love Christmas carols. Gives hand-maid gifts, usually knitted stuff. Watches the same Christmas movies every year and knows them by heart.
– Armand: “The true meaning is about Jesus and we are all sinners for making it about presents”. He puts a Nativity in his house instead of a tree because the tree is a pagan tradition.
– Lestat: Always exceeds the money limit in secret santa and makes sure everybody knows the expensive gift is from him. Thinks that the more money you spend the more you show you care.
– Pandora: Thinks that what is celebrated is Santa’s birthday, she has belived that for so long that now it would be too awkward to correct her so everyone rolls with it when they talk to her.
– Gabrielle: Doesn’t care about Christmas at all. Presents from her are always gift-cards. Spends the Christmas party petting the dog and avoids to socialize as much as she can.
– Marius: Starts puting the decorations the day after Halloween and goes way over the top, with huge plastic Santa in his sleigh in the roof of the house included. Waits under the mistletoe on purpose to make people kiss him.
– Daniel: Always gets super drunk in the Christmas gathering. Every year he forgets to get the present until last minute and buys it in the gas station nearby, gives it to the other person unwrapped.
Some Vampire Chronicles doodles because I continued reading the books where I left it, and I needed doodle some of my favorite characters: Armand, Louis and Claudia. Also Lestat and Marius ♥
In case anyone gets stuck on their @vcsecretgiftsor if the holidays are getting you down in general I put some prompts together to push you along! Big thanks to @superhiki for donating the cute artwork. 😀 Write some fics! Draw some stuff! GIVE US THE DARKEST GIFTS!
Bonus points for sneaking in sweaters (cozy or ugly or otherwise, possibly knitting it themselves?!) and mistletoes (imagine your OTP!), and you will absolutely win my heart if someone gets the Replimoids hammered at the Christmas party. I HC that they make good alcohol conduits. Make it happen.
ooc. anyway Armand saw both Marius and Santino burn alive before his very own eyes, both at each other’s hands. Aside from this probably scarring him in general, this is also the most brutal custody battle in all of history.
