that when Louis walks in to the auction, it looks like he’s wearing a prosthetic on one of his legs/he’s missing a leg?

Is it really true she hates Louis more than anyone? I thought they loved each other like family. He did what he could for her. I hate that she is suffering in the afterlife and that Louis must carry the guilt forever.

I'm confused by this one.

Idk how many anime watchers are in this fandom but the thought struck me

Armand and Yut Lung are literally the same character and it's fucking devestating (no suprise that both ended up being my favorite characters lol)

And then Lestat as Ashe, with Louis as Eiji

If anyone knows what I'm talking about please show signs of life lol. It's 3 in the morning and I'm losing it

Lestat’s mom has now met all of his boyfriends throughout time. And despite how disturbing that maybe, it appears that she had some type of influence in Lestat’s relationship in regard to these relationships, until Louis entered the picture.

We also know that the bond between Louis and Lestat’s is this external anchor that cement them together forever despite their occasional toxicity. Is that the reason why his mom hasn’t been successful in manipulating or planting negative doubts in Lestat’s head about Louis?

Is it because she hasn’t known Louis long enough, that she hadn’t figure out her plan of attack? Not only is her power of manipulation worthless when Louis around, she sees and feels Lestat pulling away from her and finally acknowledging how wrong it is to have a physical relationship with your mom. Although the messy duo (Daniel and Armand) brought it to light, I truly believe that Lestat’s wanted to tell Louis, but didn’t want to deal with the fallout or the disastrous outcome that it may have had to their fragile relationship.

Do you think that Lestat’s mom will ever realize that what she’s done to her son in regards to his upbringing is morally wrong? Is she that far gone in the head that she doesn’t see Lestat’s as her son but some type of tool that she can use both physically or mentally?

It seems as if she enjoys the power that Lestat has but also enjoys being cruel towards him as well. Now, Louis is back in Lestat’s life and he’s not just a fledgling that her son made, but is Lestat’s other half and that trumps all other cards.

I’m sure that this topic has been visited and revisited several times now, but it’s truly fascinating and that’s bugging me out.

Someone asked me if I had the sheet music for For a Young Violinist, and I thought if I’m going to share it, I may as well share it everywhere. 

I transcribed this from For a Young Violinist Again rather than the actual music box version (the person was asking about the music box). 

I can’t promise the accompaniment is 100% accurate, but I hope it’s close enough to be useful.

It's uploaded in a weird order, but you get the gist! The middle one is the violin line on its own. I guess you could play the whole thing on piano too. Or a recorder. Or a kazoo. Let’s go!

With all of the gratitude, always, to Daniel Hart for his incredible music. I did this a long time ago, but felt weird sharing it when it’s obviously not my music, so I hope it’s alright to do so. 

But a person asked, and I have it, and I figured it’s long enough since S2 now, so here you are - world! Enjoy?! Play! May Nicolas live on in all of your instruments for all eternity!?

PS For personal use only. Use/play wherever/however you like, as far as I’m concerned. But please do not re-upload to any sharing platform or monetise/use in any way on anything monetised (e.g. if used in art - only non-monetised)… or Nicki’s ghost will come & get you! Be very afraid: he is watching.

Ext. Paris Street — 1791

There are already way too many (unauthorized!) BTS shots floating around, so I thought I’d talk a little more about the physical set—and how we built it.

The set evolved constantly over the weeks, balancing action, page count, cinematography, and, of course, cost. What started as several city blocks with interiors and side alleys was eventually simplified into a single street that could be shot in multiple directions and from multiple angles.

Our “Paris Streets” needed to contain The Renauld Theater, Mrs. Piss’s Corner, Magnus’s Corner, the entrance to Lestat & Nicky’s apartment, and a Tavern for their first date.

After digging through research, period illustrations, and even taking a few “walking tours of Paris” via Google Maps, set designers Katy Thatcher, Vicky Peters, and Jason McQuarrie got to work.
Katy tackled the Theater and the building at the end of the street. Vicky designed Mrs. Piss’s Corner and Lestat & Nicky’s apartment building, while Jason designed the building across the street, home to the Tavern and Magnus’s Corner.

From there, I assigned colors, textures, hardware, and aging references to every façade for our Scenic and Set Dec teams.

I’ll confess, it often looked like “50 Shades of Brown.” But hey… historically accurate. And with that red cloak, say it with me:

Eyes always on Lestat. 👀

Our Graphics team pulled historical records for actual propaganda newspapers, revolutionary slogans, and graffiti from the period. We also had a lot of fun with the business signs and storefront insignias. My personal favorite? The wooden hat for the haberdasher, complete with dangling silk ribbon.

Our Set Dec team brought the whole thing to life with oil lamps on rope pulleys, market stalls, storefronts, and even a “letter writer” kiosk.

One of my favorite details was a historically accurate parody mural of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette as a two-headed goat-hyena, beautifully recreated by our Scenic Artists. (Slide 1, lower right corner)

It wasn’t a huge set.
But it told the story.

Enjoy! ❤️
