Lestat: I’m really sorry about last night. It’s just that I’m really mean and loud. It probably will happen again.
Lestat (to Louis): This is an on-fire garbage can…could be a nursery.
Lestat(about Gabrielle): Gabrielle is my best friend in the world, and I give her a million kisses a day. She does not like me and barks at me and bites me all day long.
Gabrielle: Sometimes babies will point at me, and I don’t care for that shit at all.
Louis: I was raised Catholic. I’m not sure if you can tell that from the EVERYTHING about me.
Daniel: Eat ass, suck a dick, and sell drugs.
Armand: *pointing to chest* I’ll keep all my emotions right here and then one day I’ll die.
Marius: You have the moral backbone of a chocolate eclair.
David: Everybody get out of my way! I just wanna sit here and feed my birds.
Nicolas: I like when things are crazy. Something good comes out of that exhaustion.
Claudia: I am very small, and I have no money. You can imagine the kind of stress I’m under.
Santino: We go into the church and I was like “I got this under control.” And then I got schooled because they introduced a bunch of new shit.
Khayman: Too old to be a duckling! Quack quack!
And so he ran after me all the way back to the hotel, all the way across the rooftops, where I hoped to lose him, until I leaped in the window of the parlor and turned in rage and slammed the window shut. He hit it, arms outstretched, like a bird who seeks to fly through glass, and shook the frame.
Louis de Pointe du Lac describing my absolute favourite moment in the entire series that needs to be talked about more. (via just-another-vcblog)
You’re not alone in this feeling, @paintedbybotticelli JUST made a post about that, and @eliestela made a comic fanart re: Lestat giving Armand a book of this kind of art w/ post-its asking if any of them are Armand!
Awww, thank you! That’s very kind of you. (I was hoarding this ask for a few days, sorry for the delay in reply.)
It warms my heart to see the fandom active, too! It’s always been waves of more or less engagement, but recently there does seem to be something of a renaissance. If the VCTV series happens, we’ll probably have even more engagement!
#InktoberVC and the @vcsecretgifts exchange both stimulated great fanworks, I’m planning on setting aside a chunk of time to go through and reblog those Dec. gifts here (I haven’t had a chance to read all the fics yet!) ❤ I’m hoping that more calls for fanworks get rolling in 2018, too, and I’ll make an effort to promote them. We can’t wait 9 months until the next #InktoberVC ;D
In this world in a time when we’re on the brink of nuclear war bc of reasons I can’t attempt to tackle on a blog for entertainment and there are people in power tirelessly dedicated to stripping away our rights one by one, people
determined to widen the class divide, people dehumanizing other real life people, and there is unpunished crime on a daily basis, I come here for an escape and to offer the same to anyone who likes this blog.
I hope 2018 is a better year for all of us, online and offline, Anon. *hugs*
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.
