I took QotD out of the shelf after x years, randomly went thru pages and then read about how Daniel and Armand were heading to Lestat’s concert wearing glorious couple look (or at least that’s the image this particular translation lead me to believe), and one point Daniel holding Armand from his belt so he wouldn’t get lost in the crowd while spacing out.
Gosh darn these vampires, these fools. I love them all. o<-<

I think marius and louis would be ravenclaw, armand and claudia slytherin (maybe marius? depending on how you view him), lestat def gryffindor. I don’t really know about daniel
I… ;A; I didn’t read the HP books, only saw some of the movies, I had turned this over to more qualified ppl before, check out this post, (it looks like your choices almost all align with @annabellioncourt‘s!) and anyone can respond to this one, too!
But what about the VC characters as STAFF?

But also: could/would a vampire even be accepted as a student or staff member at Hogwarts? What about the fact that they’d have to take/teach all their classes at night (if they were the kind of vampire that has to sleep during the day)?
I dont know if this is interesting to you but some of the fan art or even the older pictures of Guy-Manuel and Thomas Bangalter from Daft Punk unmasked look strangely like Armand and Daniel
This is interesting to me!
^They are pretty cute! Armand (Guy-Manuel) on left, Daniel (Thomas) on right.
^This fanart is very them, too. Daniel (Thomas) on left, Armand (Guy-Manuel) on right. I tried to find the source, couldn’t find it, if you know, please inform me.
I think Guy-Manuel works for my headcanon of Armand, really good sass going on there. Thomas not so much for Daniel but… this pic of Thomas in a sea of keyboards and soundboards (I think I see a moog?!) seems very Daniel!
good evening, i have some kind of headcanon ask for you! so, Armand became a vampire as teenager, and probably looks very young (due to vampire beauty, or something… i remember he was described like this, but maybe it was translation). do you think that he was even stopped by the police and asked why is he alone so late in the night, warning him of the dangers and proposing to give him a ride home? sorry, i don’t know if it happens in USA, but it happened to me and my friends quite some times.
That’s good that the police are concerned for your safety and have offered to give you & your crew a safe ride home! Yes, I would think that Armand does get this kind of interaction,
more because if the fact that he was under 21 when he was turned and not so much bc of the vampire beauty (from TVA):
I would never be anything but the seventeen-year-old boy you see now… [but] I am not a waif and never have been. I am a strong child.

Even if he looked “strong,” I’m an adult and it would concern me to see a 17 year old out in a bar late at night, too! I wouldn’t approach him myself, but I might worry that he’s in danger and alert a staff member. From my experience in many states in the US, it is a liability for a bar or club to have underage people even in their building, so most don’t even allow underage people in at all.
Armand probably has a big deck of fake ID’s that say he’s 21, though, and some people really do look younger than they are… combine that with his Mind Whammy abilities, so I’m sure he gets in wherever he wants.
Anne Rice said, in the comments of one of the latest posts, that Holliday Grainger (Lucrezia Borgia in “The Borgias”) would be a perfect Bianca or a perfect Gabrielle! Ah, the post was about her asking what we (People of the page) were doing. And down below Rice’s comment, Caleb Landry Jones has been suggested as Armand! What do you think?
I don’t have an opinion on any of these, could work! She seems a little young to play Gabrielle, but it could work.
I remember that @gingerhairedimmortal-archived, an Armand RPer, had used Caleb Landry Jones as a face claim, so you might want to check out their archive for more on that.
louis, half of armand, and lestat for funsies, but mostly for @i-want-my-iwtv
omg I’m sorry I’m just seeing this now! I loooove them! Thank u *smooches*
So I’ve read books 1-3, but tbh I really don’t want to read body thief and I heard Memnoch isn’t very good. BUT I am a huge slut for Armand so can I read TVA now? Will I understand the context of stuff? I kinda already know about the coma thing but if you could write anything I need to know under the cut for spoilers that would be really great. I know it’s mostly Armand and Marius but is there Armand and Daniel in it too? I just don’t want to read about lestats body swap adventure or the devil.
Sure, skip over to TVA! No probs on that. Don’t suffer through the body swap episode or the Bible/VC crossover if you don’t want to! Life’s too short.

We’re all selective as to what canon we’re willing to accept anyway so even those who have read TOBT and/or MTD don’t necessarily accept one or both as canon. Some ppl insist that everything published is canon. But here’s the thing, there’s “the two crossover novels Blackwood Farm and Blood Canticle, which Rice herself has now disavowed,” (X @sanguinivora) so like, even AR doesn’t demand that we accept everything as canon. At least that’s my own take on it.
TOBT: No spoilers. I don’t think Armand or Daniel are even mentioned in TOBT (I don’t have a copy nearby to check). But in their absence, it would appear that they were either A) unaware of what was happening w/ Lestat, or B) unwilling to help him. I don’t remember that ever being really developed, but Lestat does mention sometimes how it seemed like no one was WILLING to help, that they all were aware and left him to fend for himself.
HUGE SPOILER IN MTD under the cut, you have been warned.
MTD has alot of baggage bc there were those negative reviews that came out about it, and tbh I didn’t read them bc there was an avalanche of them, so I don’t know if any of them were fair or not, but I remember that AR made alot of fiery public response about it (to put it lightly) and was using her FB POTP army against any critical reviewers, it was a dark time, so that may have soured the fandom on that book a lot.
MTD was published in 1995 and it was supposed to be the LAST book in the series. 3 years later we got The Vampire Armand, because…………….
*****HUGE SPOILER*****
*****YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED*****
At the end of MTD, Armand believes that Lestat really went to Heaven and Hell when shown a particular piece of evidence, and Armand chooses to go out into the sunlight, and die:
“I will bear witness. I will stand here with my arms outstretched,” [Armand] cried, “and when
the sun rises, my death shall confirm the miracle.”
Apparently that caused such an uproar that fans were showing up to MTD booksignings wearing homemade “Armand Lives” t-shirts, and AR acquiesced and brought him back! Here’s one I designed wayyy after the fact, like two months ago:
Idk if you ever heard about the CBBC show Young Dracula, but it’s brilliant. Yes, it’s originally for kids (at least the first few seasons) but it’s hilarious and so quotable. Also, Vlad, the main protagonist who was born a vampire, desperately wants to be normal and that feels very VC-adjacent. It’s a great show either way.
Definitely quotable in that cute child-friendly way! The fashion and general aesthetic seems to have a touch of VC.
Thanks for the rec, anon. I might give it a try 😉 Anyone else here watch/like it?
^Found Antonio!Armand’s wig…
^and Armand’s attitude age…
^Found a Lestatuesque line!
