I'm not just a "mortal Daniel wears glasses" truther. I also think as an immortal, he starts wearing tinted glasses--yellow or violet lenses, maybe--to help disguise the inhuman appearance of his eyes. Daniel in glasses forever!

"Armand envies you and spies on you far more than you might think."

“I hear Armand and I see him and I ignore him,” I said.

Lestat, having eaten spaghetti sauce while in a living body, is one of the only main Vampire Chronicles characters who has eaten a tomato

That last morning in Rome, before I was to leave for the north, it was decided that my name must be changed. Amadeo, containing the very word for God, was most unseemly for a Child of Darkness, especially one meant to lead the Paris Coven. From various choices given me, Allesandra chose the name Armand. So I became Armand.

Marius/Armand - 4.What they do on date night

From the ship ask game! :D

4. What they do on date night

Oh, I thought a lot about what they like doing, and I've written many (many) scenes for their dates in post-canon and I think ultimately they like doing anything which enables them to be within arm's length.

Touch is an important aspect of TVA. Hands as a concept are at the very core of Armand's journey.

A lot of their relationship was physical, and the distance which was put between them is the main reason why there's this huge chasm of cold interactions between them – the instant Marius and Armand were put in the same room, all of the resentment was like poof! Gone – at least briefly gone. In every scene where Armand and Marius are granted the space to touch and agree to touch each other, they are happy. The end of TVA has Armand and Marius sitting side by side but touching shoulders to indicate that things are bad, but they are certainly not over.

All that to say: I think they like any event where they can be physically close.

I think reading or watching stuff in each other's arms, going to a movie or theatre so long as they can hold hands in the dark, going to a concert if it means they can be close together... Anything which lets them touch one another would be a good date night. I don't think they would like i.e. go shopping together or to a restaurant if that meant they had to keep a polite distance from one another. Touch is key for any of their date nights!!!

#yes #i think physical touch is so important for armand #and marius too #both of them are so bad at verbally expressing their feelings that touch really helps reassure and solidify those things #armand/marius #vc headcanons #vc #armand #marius de romanus #vampire chronicles

Ship ask: 2, 4, 14 for the (Loudanmandstat) Disaster Polycule?

I was going to ask #7, but then I thought about it… *cough*Lestat*cough*

From the ship ask game! :D

2. What their love letters look like

Love letters... I honestly think most of their communications nowadays are by SMS and not letters – Daniel himself might not be inclined to send letters like his elders are.

If they were to write a love letter, I think Lestat's would be slightly over the top with many metaphors and obscure references but ultimately kind of simple. He wants to convey that he loves the recipient and wants to make sure this is obvious no matter what. He doesn't want to leave room for the person to doubt his feelings. I think he would resort to writing the plain, simple "I love you" at some point in the letter.

Louis would write a letter describing not how he feels in his heart but how the environment around him reacts to what he is feeling. His letters aren't about the depths of his love but about how the birds have been singing since he read your message and haven't stopped since. He's more eager to observe how loving makes him feel than to try to put words to his feelings.

Armand writes love letters by waxing philosophical about what love truly means. His letters have many questions for whoever is receiving them, but he avoids obvious metaphors to describe what he's feeling. He's likelier to ask, "Do you also think laughter is a greater form of communication than companionable silence?" than "You know you make me laugh, right?"

Daniel has never had to write a letter to convey his emotions and feelings ("Did have a pen-pal once in like high school, though.") Because of that, in the advent of feeling like he has to write a love letter, I think he would most likely go about the things he did in a day, which reminded him of his loved one. "Today, I saw this weird pigeon, and it took me a minute to realise it was a white dove. Made me think of you; I think you would have liked to see it, too."

4. What they do on date night

Whatever Armand and Lestat decide to do after bickering for about an hour while Louis idly occupies himself reading, and Daniel is just there staring at the two vampires throwing jabs and indirect offences.

I do think their safest bet would be going out shopping. Armand loves showering his loved ones with gifts, Daniel is always eager to be granted his every wish, Lestat is a bonafide fashion diva and Louis... Maybe he wouldn't mind if he could be promised a stop at a Book shop, too. They eventually sit at the mall cafeteria; Armand orders the weirdest drink he can find; Louis is already engrossed in whatever book he bought; Lestat is admiring the beautiful mortals all around them, and Daniel is snapping photos of the group to send to the rest of the coven.

7. Which one is the worse driver

... You are right. Lestat is the worst driver but only because he gets too distracted. The rank of best to worst driver would absolutely be:

Daniel (has getaway driver vibes)

Louis (no points on his license ever)

Armand (great driver but would topple the car just because someone Lestat pissed him off)

Lestat (would topple the car because a pretty billboard distracted him, and he went over the curb)

14. What nicknames they call each other

Lestat calls Louis "mon cher", "mon coeur", "my raven", "mon amour", and I think Louis does much the same in public while saving "mon lion" and "mon prince" for Lestat only when they're alone or in private. Lestat also likes referring to Louis as "his beloved fledgling" and "his child", but only when Louis is not around. Lestat calls Armand a lot of petty insults like calling him "his little brother", "imp", "mon petit", "tiny devil", "Satan's favourite cherub" and so on. It is very rare for him to call Armand by his name, especially in any type of romantic scene or setting, because it feels awkward.

Armand calls Lestat and Louis by their names unless he wants to piss off Lestat, then he calls Louis "mon loulou" because Louis calls him "mon doudou" very rarely (never in public or outside their chambers and rooms).

Louis did offer to call Lestat a pet name in French, like "mon chouchou", but Lestat threw a fit, saying it was actually disgusting (he was just jealous that Armand got a cutesy name before he did). Louis also calls Armand "mon cher," but he quite likes calling Armand "my love." He ultimately quite likes saying Armand's name, so he uses it the most. Armand usually calls him by his name or "beloved".

Armand and Louis call Daniel "boy", but Lestat only ever calls Daniel by his name. He sometimes refers to Daniel as "Young Daniel" and likes referring to Daniel by his full name "Daniel Molloy". He only called Daniel "Anne" once when they fought over publishing rights for the Chronicles. Louis sometimes calls Daniel "old friend". Armand also calls Daniel "Danny", "my child", "lover", and "beloved", "my love". Daniel still calls Armand "boss", plus the occasional insult here and there when Armand is being overbearing, usually "bastard". As a whole, he saves using Armand's name for times he's really angry or really in love. He calls Louis by his name out of respect while on a first-name basis with Lestat most of the time, except when the blonde aggravates him with his antics when Lestat becomes "Mr Prince", "Princess Peach", and so on. "Wouldn't you like to know, Monarch Boy?"

blablabla minors get out

for the second day of the @deromanuscoven Spring Event I wrote a little Venice Era PWP fic based off the little satyr, god of the woods prompt!!! You can check it here! ❤️💙

He pushes his hand against Amadeo's cheeks and caresses his hair. He studies each of his eyelashes and every single hair on his brow. He curls an auburn lock around a finger and lets it fall against his pristine, glossy white face. His child in the Blood… Blood of his Blood, body of his body. His lover, his child, his son, his fledgling — his Amadeo.
