Napoleon’s letter to his great-uncle, Archdeacon Lucien Bonaparte, when his father died. He was 15 years old at the time and was about to graduate from the Royal Military School of Brienne.

He laments how “heaven lets him die, and where? A hundred leagues from home, in a strange country, far from all he held most dear.”

His letter is really sad and he calls his late father the “protector of our youth.” I think that line is important since Napoleon was truly forced to grow up when his father died, in a very literal sense. He and his brother, Joseph (age 15 & 16, respectively) had to become the men of their family and take care of their widowed mother and their 6 other siblings. I think this was the moment his youth ended.

Side-note: He signed his name as Napoleone di Buonaparte.

Regarding that casting call, either way we are winning. If the date is a mistake and it's actually 1985, then it's yet another confirmation that Devil's Minion is happening. But if it is really 1785 *puts on clown face* then it's definitely a flashback to finally show us Nicolas (and Lestat) in the theatre. Like, narratively speaking it doesn't make any sense for the show to wait at least 3 or more years to cast someone as important as Nicolas, specially when he has aleady been hinted so many times in S1. Let's not forget that Lestat's first spoken words in the show are literally A DIREKT QUOTE FROM NICKI. The question is ofc who would be telling that part of the story. It would make sense for it to be Armand but I can't really see him sharing that information with Louis and he's very capable of keeping his mind shut. It could be Louis reading some member of the old troupe's mind though. Imagine someone who knew human Lestat first hand and then was turned and ended up working with Armand... Since Louis can read minds in this version it wouldn't be too far out of reach, wouldn't it?

If it was up to me (and given the beautiful way the show has been working with the concept of relics so far) I would just give Louis the Gift to see the past by touching objects (like that character from Mayfair Witches) and make him find the red velvet cloak hidden somewhere in the theatre 🥲

Ha, yeah I'd love that too (and have actually written about it in a fic^^). And yes, mistake or not, both years are "winning", agreed!

As you said - it is highly unlikely that Armand would volunteer that tidbit of information though... I cannot really think of who might do though (except if they massively changed a certain fact).

I just answered another ask, and theorized there that it might have to do with Marius and Bianca in Paris... and the fact that Les Innocents was closed in 1780, and that the bones were moved to the catacombs in 1786.

Which means Armand and his coven had to relocate sometime 1785. Which must have been, of course, a rather harrowing event for the Children of Satan, then.

So, while my first thought also jumped to Lestat and Nicki immediately (and I'll be very happy if they go this route, I hope that doesn't need to be said, because YES *laughs*)... my gut feeling does point more towards that now... ugh. We'll see.

But I love it either way, all the little tidbits of events and lore they use to tie this show in reality... they did it so wonderfully in season 1, I bet they'll be brilliant in season 2 as well.
