Daniel probably telling a gen x reference that Marius doesn't catch

Are we going to talk about the fact that when Thorne meets Marius, Marius is hanging out in a Vampire Bar called The Werewolf? Like it's not just a random tavern, Marius is actively chilling at a bar that's part of the vampire connection and it seems it's a place he goes often. I am completely fascinated by this.

Marius is hanging out in the back room alone, but maybe that is where the Real Immortals hang (the bar is full of mortals, whom Marius reassures Thorne will not notice anything odd about him). He also mentions later that he's lonely as hell. I guess Daniel isn't exactly great company while he's in his Hyperfixated on Building Models era.

But still, I have questions. So a poll!

Why was Louis in his Sunday best for the Interview and never again? What was so special about that night, that he woke up and thought huh? I feel boujee tonight, let's get dressed up. He didn't know he was trauma dumping all over someone that night, and even if he did, why tf did he make an effort? And a second thought, did anyone ever ask Louis why he did that?

no but like I need to know how Louis felt meeting vampire Daniel for the first time and realizing that physically, Daniel is going to look older than Louis now for the rest of eternity.

Somehow the age factor never occurred to me, but like Daniel was a 20 year old baby during the interview. He was an intrepid reporter but a kid. And then Daniel turns up at 32, a fresh vampire with that new vampire smell having aged over a decade and like... What a fucking wild thing to see. This young guy who interviewed him and published a book about it now in his early 30s forever, a little worn around the edges from the past decade, but immortal somehow (by Armand?!) and forever appearing to be a little bit his senior when last time Louis saw him (and, uh, unfortunately sank his fangs into his neck) he was barely out of his teens.

The fact that we didn't get a single reaction from Louis about any of this is a crime, tbh. Dude must have had so many thoughts and I want to know them all!

He just woke up to eat rats and read books in the dark

the end of Prince Lestat when Lestat breezily notes that his beloved Louis loves it when his victims struggle lmao

updated my human au fic andrei, son of ivan with a hmmm complex chapter exploring andrei's (and armand's duh) religion and faith and what not... but felt like about the time to post this drawing too!

“I thought you like these tropical cities.”

“I do,” Daniel said. His hands were thrown over his head, resting on the flat pillows, so his shirt was pulled up to expose his navel. “Just not in the hundred-degree heat.”

“Then why did you come here?” He could feel Armand’s eyes even if he refused to open his own. 

“I don’t know, Armand. Because I’m an idiot. Stop asking me questions.”

The truth was he hadn’t considered the temperature. He hadn’t even considered the location. Just go. Find a new place. A new city, a new country if you can. The same as he’d been doing all year, although the cat-and-mouse game had changed. He wasn’t really fleeing now. Running, yes, but less for his mortal life and more to see if Armand would follow.

Night Terror
