❝ Just a little blood, and Louis might be stronger, true, but then he might lose the HUMAN TENDERNESS, the HUMAN KINDNESS...the GIFT OF KNOWING OTHERS’ SUFFERING with which Louis had probably been born. ❞

RULES

GENERAL.
⚜️ This is an independent book-based rp account for Louis de Pointe du Lac from Anne Rice’s The Vampire Chronicles. I do not own any rights to this character (Anne don't sue me LOL)
⚜️ Psd credit goes to: jayneditsINTERACTIONS:
⚜️ As stated before, this portrayal of Louis is strictly book-based, and does not recognize any canon outside of the books. As such, I DO NOT WRITE WITH AMC-BASED PORTRAYALS. I'm totally happy to write with amc-based blogs who have a book verse, but my canon Louis unfortunately has no place in the AMC show universe.
⚜️ I will only write with mutuals; if I’m following you, that means I genuinely want to interact with you! However, this blog is HIGHLY SELECTIVE. Please don’t take it personally if I don’t follow you; the most likely scenario is that I’m just unfamiliar with the fandom or can’t see our characters having productive threads together.⚜️ I’m totally open to (and encourage) personals sending in asks and interacting with my ooc posts, but I ask that you please refrain from reblogging anything not explicitly tagged as “#okay to reblog.”⚜️ I rarely post starter or plotting calls; the easiest way to get the ball rolling with me is to send in a meme/starter whenever I reblog them!⚜️Regarding God-Modding...Louis is stronger, faster, and smarter than most humans, yet significantly weaker than most other vampires. I try very hard not to god-mod, and hope others will do the same! If I ever overstep, please let me know and I'm more than happy to adjust.

MUN:
⚜️ Hey there! I’m Ash, my pronouns are she/her, and I’m just Weird Girl who never grew out of her vampire phase. I’ve been doing Tumblr RP for about 8 years now, so I’m pretty familiar with standard rpc etiquette and what not. Thanks for reading through my rules!
CONTENT:
⚜️ Mun and Muse are 21+ and will not write nsfw content with minors.
⚜️ There will be nsfw content on this blog. Due to the nature the source material, I don’t tag things like blood or death, but I will definitely tag all smut, excessive violence, and body horror. If you’d like me to tag something, feel free to DM me and I’m happy to oblige. Triggers will be tagged as “;tw. trigger name”.⚜️ My main and default ships for Louis will always be Lestat and Armand. I'm not really looking to ship Louis romantically with anyone else, but I love exploring all other different types of relationships! I'm awful with first meeting threads so literally feel free to throw whatever kind of pre-established dynamic you want at me and I'm happy to roll with it.OTHER:
⚜️ This blog is SLOW and relatively low-activity! I'm also active over on @theseancekid, as well as my vampire chronicles fandom account, @covenofthearticulate

Louis de Pointe du Lac: slender, slightly less tall than Lestat, his maker, black of hair, gaunt and white of skin, with amazingly long and delicate fingers, and feet that do not make a sound. Louis, whose green eyes are soulful, the very mirror of patient misery, soft-voiced, very human, weak, having lived only two hundred years, unable to read minds, or to levitate, or to spellbind others except inadvertently, which can be hilarious, an immortal with whom mortals fall in love. Louis, an indiscriminate killer, because he cannot satisfy his thirst without killing, though he is too weak to risk the death of the victim in his arms, and because he has no pride or vanity which would lead him to a hierarchy of intended victims, and therefore takes those who cross his path, regardless of age, physical endowments, or blessings bestowed by nature or fate. Louis, a deadly and romantic vampire, the kind of night creature who hovers in the deep shadows at the Opera House to listen to Mozart's Queen of the Night give forth her piercing and irresistible song. ❞ — The Vampire Armand
