Some years they stay together, if they’ve gathered for the holidays leading up to New Year’s Eve, I would think at someone’s home that can accommodate a large group or they rent a house somewhere. Whoever is hosting sends out the fanciest invitations, each year the current host tries to one-up the previous year’s card 😉
I’d imagine a gathering would look smtg like this, black-tie affair at times (but they’d bring casual clothes, too):
And they do the stuff they normally do when they gather:
Coven Game Night where some fool challenges Louis to cards and gets their ass handed back to them, even if/when they attempt to cheat
exchanging gifts – Daniel and Lestat compete in giving the best gag gifts.
there’s teasing each other about all the VC books, from the oldest to the most recent “So that ghostwriter of yours-” “DON’T YOU START WITH ME, ARMAND.”
Sharing pics they’ve taken from their year’s travels
Watching movies together in fancy screening rooms with couches, blankets, and pillows
improvised jam sessions for the musicians in the group
artsy sessions for the artistic ones in the group, although they do invite everyone, and Gabrielle has done a few gorgeous fingerpaintings that Lestat treasures
dancing to the improvised music or someone DJ’ing recorded music
BONFIRE and/or FIREWORKS (outside tho!)
Inviting very special mortal friends over for “drinks,” wherein the mortals are aware and consent to get drunk and then share 😉
marriage counseling (come on, cabin fever sets in and at least one pairing gets into a fight every time).
shameless flirting (sometimes causes the fighting that needs marriage counseling)
Other years, they go their separate ways and celebrate NYE on their home territory, or in smaller groupings.
@wicked-felina said: Louis is just under six ft (I guess he was wearing heels the day Daniel interviewers him lmao) but yes!! The point stands
He might have been, he was wearing a whole special outfit, knowing it could be described and included in the record of the interview. But I don’t think his height is specified in IWTV, I skimmed it, didn’t find that. Here’s a compilation of descriptions of Louis that @i-see-light-blog put together.
Lestat says in TVL:
I’m six feet tall, which was fairly impressive in the 1780s when I was a young mortal man.
But I don’t think we get Louis’ height (other than “tall”), until Armand’s description in TVA:
I can’t find it rn and so I can’t remember if it was an ask directly sent to me or just a post I reblogged… 😛 sorries… but someone had reported that they and their friend (significant other maybe?) were in a funeral parlor, owned by a relative I think, and were allowed to climb into a few coffins to test that question, and YES, two full-grown adults were able to fit comfortably in a standard-size coffin. Louis and Lestat are both 6 ft tall with Lestat being slightly taller, so yeah, that’s a lot of person when doubled. It was also unnaturally tall for that time period.
^IDK if the coffins in the movie were accurate to the time period, probably yes. That one looked plenty big enough for them to both get in and why didn’t they!!! but I didn’t see any cushions at all, that might have made the fit a little tighter.
Currently, ppl can have custom coffins made, it would be easy enough to order one of any size 😉
Louis de Pointe du Lac, already described above but always fun to envisage: slender, slightly less tall than Lestat,…
^Could be as little as an inch (US) or a few centimeters (non-US) difference *shrugs* I should have said that Lestat is 6 ft tall and Louis slightly less than that, that would have been more accurate.
