as of #vccasting i think the guy who played haymitch abernathy in the hunger games would be a good marius

I didn’t see the Hunger Games so idk about that character specifically but Woody Harrelson is one of my fave actors (especially in Natural Born Killers, Kingpin, White Men Can’t Jump, Zombieland). He is like 85% sass, 10% grump, and 5% extreme joy. Not things I usually associate with Marius, but then… I saw this gif, and it is very much smtg Marius would say to Lestat w/ this exact expression so… you may be onto something there… I’d screentest him.

^It’s a good back-handed compliment. Or front-handed put-down? Either way Gabrielle better not hear of it. 

Can we host a little Vampire Chronicles event? Like a Septalamasca or some other ridiculous name, with our favourite vampires kissing or something? Pretty pretty please? Or could we do a little Halloween exchange, even if October seems so far away? ;n;

Well a real live event would be fantastic, personally, I’d love to rent a theatre and do a screening of IWTV w/ any of the original main cast there to provide commentary during the movie or a Q&A after and that will never happen *sobs*

As far as doing a gift exchange here in tumblrland, that’s been done before and is more doable! Ppl often really love giving and receiving gifts for it, it’s a great opportunity to spread some VC fandom love and positivity and really, who doesn’t like getting gifts?

I should bring back Santa Lestat in November… those asks were pretty fun.

Last holiday season I co-modded the @vcsecretgifts exchange. It takes a lot of effort, mostly in trying to drum up enough interest, and then policing ppl to submit their assigned gifts (a few never did theirs, and I volunteered to fill in for one of these and still haven’t found the right inspiration to WRITE IT YET *facepalm*) I’ll ask the founder of that blog if they have the time/desire to do it w/ me again.

Is this something ppl would like to participate in?

Lestat is a Capricorn but there’s no information on Louis’ birthday. I always think that he’s a Cancer or Pisces. What do you think? lol

What you’re asking is not written explicitly in canon, iirc, but fandom has generally accepted the following info, maybe bc AR told us over the years? I don’t remember when we were told…

  • Lestat’s birthday is November 7, the birthday of Anne Rice’s late husband Stan (whom she partially modeled Lestat after).
  • Louis’ birthday is October 4, which is Anne’s birthday.
  • Claudia mentions her birthday in her diary (in QOTD) as being September 21, but she’s not sure if that’s really her birthday and her dads won’t explain it further

    (it’s probably the day she was turned, given the context of the diary entry). That’s Michele Rice’s birthday, Anne’s late daughter.

So Lestat is a Scorpio and Louis is a Libra. I don’t know much about astrology, you’ll have to take it from there, anon!

Lestat de Lioncourt in a satin dress, commissioned by @i-want-my-iwtv

I love this so much, look at the care and detail @thacmis put into this (among other things, can you believe the ethereal texture on that gown?? *u*), as Lestat would say, Perfect, just perfect! I think I officially have an obsession w/ Lestat & blood in glassware. It makes him feel more civilized ;}

#claiming u in the name of our fandom

Okay but that vampires in space comment immediately reminded me of that one comic drawn by remarried where Daniel and Armand are laying down and Daniel’s just asking Armand about what would happen if vampires went to space

Leave a comment

Yep, that’s @remarried‘s! [X]

To answer Daniel, I think the sun is always up and could hurt them but they could stay on the dark side of the planet where it’s night, and also, the spaceship/spacecompound could be sealed from sunlight. The vampires inside would still fall into the deathsleep on their own inner biological clocks so even with a spacesuit capable of protecting them from the sunlight they’d probably still fall into the deathsleep in the presence of sunlight… it would get complicated. 

More importantly, they’d need to bring live victims and wouldn’t be able to kill, bc they’d kill off their blood supply. Ricean vampires don’t get much nutrition out of animal or bottled blood, presumably they also need the soul that comes with live human blood.

If a vampire died in space, the ashes would have nowhere to go, but hopefully they would be scattered, bc Ricean vampires can sometimes resurrect if their ashes are not scattered 😛

“I love how everytime someone meets Louis for the first time theres…”

Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise did a magnificent job portraying Louis and Lestat. They were so canon and so on point, they embodied them perfectly. I don’t think that any two other actors could do a better job. Let’s just hope that it will be decent.

You are preaching to the choir *u* 

We have the unique opportunity now to cast ppl who are closer to the ages they were meant to be in canon. Brad and Tom were 30 and the characters were 20-21 (Lestat) and 25 (Louis). In the 90s, it was hard to accurately portray a homosexual relationship, and the world has become more accepting of it in film, so hopefully we can have more of their relationship chemistry actually on screen, too ❤
