Hello, you have or know, a timeline of the Vampire Chronicles that ends in the last book (Prince Lestat)?thank you very much.

I have never found a perfect VC timeline, I should make one myself… I don’t know of one that ends in PL (including or not including PL). 

  • This one goes through Merrick, you should save it for your own ref bc that site could go down anytime. The author of it also chose some dates that I don’t think have canon evidence (March 2, 1791 is the date indicated that Louis meets Lestat, 
  • Here’s another one, goes through TVA.
  • This one is fun bc it’s interactive.

Gawd that would be a project. Anyone want to try to tackle this? Would be much appreciated! I might even offer some kind of reward…

HEYYYYY MY DEAR I have a question. Do Louis and Lestat ever put makeup on eachother? And if they do, who prefers what style of makeup? (Like Lestat likes a winged eyeliner on Louis etc)

Yes, definitely! Lestat wears makeup often, typically at least guyliner (black or dark blue) and a lightweight (as in, not too “gluey”), organic lipgloss, with a rosy tint. Neither of them typically wear makeup that’s very scented or flavored, since they find those pretty chemically distasteful. 

It’s canon that Lestat wears violet shades much of the time, which are not opaque, tinted just enough to diffuse a little of the dazzling effect of his eye color but allow the artistry of his makeup to be visible. 

Louis will not put on makeup unless Lestat requests it, but does admit that it gives him an otherworldly quality. He prefers a light smokey eye and a hint of blush. 

Despite his strenuous efforts to improve, Lestat is not as talented at drawing winged eyeliner, so whenever he wants that look he has to ask Louis to do it for him. Lestat also really enjoys playing w/ metallic powders [X]:

Sometimes Lestat will see a look in a work of art, magazine, or movie, and he wants to try it out on himself or Louis. He’s copied several of David Bowie’s looks. Some nights they both get all glamorous in order to better entice victims (murderous transphobic/homophobic bigots are a favorite dinner).

Louis’ first makeover was done by Claudia (fanart by @obsessional-ram!), and he resisted at first, but it was a battle he couldn’t hope to win as she pushed him down to her level and began applying foundation and eyeshadow primer. She went for an orchid-inspired look, w/ pastel shades and then deepened the contrast with his eyes with teal green and gold eyeshadow colors, a cool-toned smokey overlay, mascara, and warm lavender blush. A deep berry lip tint completed the look.

She also braided tiny light-colored flowers into his hair, and put him in one of the maid’s dresses.

When Lestat came out of the bath, where he had been for about an hour, he was struck by the enhancements and made some mumbled excuse as to why he needed Louis’ attention immediately… and privately. Claudia was very proud of herself for producing such a positive reaction, even though on the surface she kicked and complained at being thrown out of the house on an obviously unnecessary errand “Go get us more… ah… matches! From across town!” 

The very next night, Lestat had her try out bold eyeshadows and powders on himself ;D

In canon, Lestat wears makeup at least for camouflage:

“I covered up my blue eyes, as always, with black glasses, lest their radiance mesmerize and entrance at random – a real nuisance – and over my delicate white hands, with their telltale glassy fingernails, I drew the usual pair of soft gray leather gloves.”  – Tale of the Body Thief

“Ah, a bit of oily brown camouflage for the skin. I smoothed the lotion over my cheekbones, over the bit of neck and chest that was bare.”

Tale of the Body Thief

Thank you so much! (I was the theme anon), I always try to remember that what I read and watch is fictional (I’ve always been a very over-empathetic person and issues like child exploitation hits hard). I’ll still continue to read the series, iwtv was so beautiful written, just wanted some clarification :) thanks!

Glad that response clarified things and that you’re sticking with it. I really appreciate your followup message!

Just because you read something doesn’t mean you endorse it. When things get too squicky for me, I “eat around” them, like you’d eat around the bruised areas of a banana. A whole banana is not ruined by a few bruises for me, but I can understand and I don’t judge if it ruins it for others.

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.
