“How can so much beauty hide such a bruised and steely heart, and why must I love him, why must I lean in my weariness upon his irresistible yet indomitable strength? Is he not the wizend funeral spirit of a dead man in a child’s clothes?” ― Anne Rice, The Vampire Armand
I think she’s frickin’ gorgeous is what I think about Gillian Anderson.
Physically, I am pretty attached to Cate Blanchett, Charlize Theron, Michelle Pfeiffer… especially the latter two in terms of their kittenish features. They could all potentially kill it, acting-wise. They’re all about the right age to play the role, as is Gillian. Yes, the Dark Gift makes you younger-lookin’, but I’d still want someone who was closer to the right age at the beginning, anyway, to help combat ageism in Hollywood! And to be more true to the story.
Factoring performance in, I think Gillian would be great, too. For one thing, she could beat Brad Pitt right into the ground with her eye-rolling skills alone (he does so much of that in IWTV!), the art of which she had perfected 20+ years ago.
^“He’s behind me making that fucking face again. I don’t even have to turn around to know it. God damn it. I hate that goddamned stupid face he makes. God fucking damnit.” (Gabrielle re: Lestat, too.)
^Looks amazeballs in a suit, too. Gabrielle prefers menswear 😉 Lestat made her wear the shoes, the only compromise in this outfit.
^Gabrielle’s most frequently used phrase, in one of many variations.
^Pretty sure this was a scripted line, but I bet Gillian would agree. The role of Gabrielle would probably be very appealing to Gillian.
♛"You’ve returned…“ *he grins slightly, eyeing the Anonymous stranger* “You desired a hug, oui? That much I can give.”
*Leaning in, he gently embraces the Anon, pressing his hand on their back, lets them feel the ice of his cheek slide against theirs. Anon is androgynous, mysterious. No escape for them now, as he nuzzles into the warmth of their neck. A sharp fang draws the tiniest line of blood, and he licks at it tenderly. He feels them shiver at this touch, and pulls back.*
“Wouldn’t want to compromise you any further, my sweet appetizer. Need to keep myself light, seeking an entrée tonight.”
Awwww thank u so much, always good to hear I’m doing well w/ this thing ;u; I’ll keep up more of the same, then!
I haven’t watched Versailles, but I have heard of it and seen bits on tumblr, and as a side note: you might be interested in this Philippe RPer: @frerenuage. And the Chevalier is RP’d by @chxvaliers.
He’s not 100% my headcanon but Alexander Vlahos – wow. So pretty.
And look, he’s doing that little demure thing that Louis does when he’s trying not to be judgmental, better to just say, “I see…” and speak w/ his glare:
This looks familiar: not the outfit and hairdo so much as the facial expression and subtitle, w/ a pleased af Lestat front and center “YISS I DRAGGED HIM HERE KICKING AND SCREAMING! I AM AMAZE MYSELF
This is also familiar, bc Louis is in fact a BAMF and he will smack a bitch:
