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 ♥
headcanon that Daniel sends Marius a lot of classical art & history memes.
Marius pretends not to be amused but he secretly forwards all the super good ones to Pandora.
He does that thing that humans do where he gets a stupid little grin on his face whenever he’s texting her and smiles at his phone like a goon and everyone in the room knows he’s in love.
♛Well if it were up to him, he’d wrap gifts in brown paper or newsprint and twine, as he likes to recycle. What a waste of an opportunity to add a little flair! His gifts are always perfectly chosen, and I suppose it’s what’s inside that really counts, with gift-giving.
… but if you must know, I prefer it when he’s unwrapping~me~.
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.
A chronological retrospective of the two rings Louis wears. For 200 years. Apparently Lestat could get him to change his wardrobe, kill people, and all kinds of other depraved things etc., but Louis kept his jewelry to a strict minimum.
One appears to be his wedding ring.
in the movie version, Louis is a widow. Maybe the ring was his wedding ring.
After the Dark Gift, he keeps it on. Maybe it’s earned new significance towards Lestat, now.
After Lestat’s “death,” Louis continues to wear the ring. Maybe it’s significant to both people he’s lost.
The other is a pinky ring.
This one may have just been fashionable to begin with.
Maybe it symbolized the child who died with his wife in childbirth.
Later, maybe it’s earned new significance when Claudia is given the Dark Gift.
After Claudia’s death, Louis continues to wear the ring. Maybe it’s significant to both “children” he’s lost.
(re: Louis & rings in the film) pinky ring was a gay code, or “no marriage plz”-code at some point. I’ve always thought that Louis’ pinky ring is his dead wifes wedding ring, and so signifies both “all the loves I’ve lost” and “tried heterosexuality once and it was a disaster”…
