SINCE I was just discussing this w/ someone last night, and noticed I hadn’t mentioned it before… (and btw most of the above pics are from http://www.hansonhouse.com/taylor.htm)

Taylor Hanson from the 90′s is part of my headcanon for Lestat *u* 

Yes, I know, he’s too old now. I KNOW. But one of my fave fic writers had used him as a face claim (they had cropped that first pic for their avatar) and the way they wrote him, the vulnerability, tenderness, the way he behaved, it was so perfectly meshed with how young Taylor looked and idk it just aligned perfectly for me. Lestat was only ~20 when he was turned ;A; and Taylor is like, right at that transition where the adult features are starting to take hold but the boyishness is still there, too. Taylor’s appearance is definitely in mind when I write my Lestat. I look at that first pic and I see a young man lost in his own music, drinking up the attention from the audience, loving the heat of the spotlights on him, his band supporting him, it’s just so touching and I love it. 

Let me admit here that I liked MMMBop as a song! But was not a HANSON fan beyond that. The fact is that Taylor can/could sing, and play guitar, and looking the way he looked, I buy it. 

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder so I’m not trying to sell this vision to anyone else, but I’m sharing it anyway bc thinking about it makes me happy ❤

Happy birthday Taylor

Right, 3/14 is his birthday!  Happy birthday Taylor!
