About your tags on that mark hamill gifset “wish one of the iwtv actors would say this”, Anne Rice has said it already.
Yep, as far as I know, AR is fine with ppl headcanoning them as gay, or other sexual orientation. IIRC, this was her response re: Daniel and Marius:
Look at all my tags on that post, tho: #fandom #mark hamill #wish we had one of the IWTV actors saying this #but I think theyd all agree w/ it #your headcanon may vary #ship and let ship #gif #quote #headcanon #lestat likes this #you dont need the authors permission to think whatever u want about canon #YOU DONT NEED AUTHORS PERMISSION FOR YOUR HEADCANON #just be respectful #of others’ headcanons too #reyton #roselioncourt #pointed this out to me #thank u
I don’t really need the IWTV actors to say it, either. Just would have fit on my blog better 😉
For example, some ppl headcanon Gabrielle as transgender. I don’t, personally, but I’m respectful of their opinion. I don’t know what AR would think about that opinion, and I don’t reeeeeally care, bc you don’t need the author’s permission to think whatever you want about canon. Just be respectful of others’ headcanons, too *u*
Let’s bring back that early silent film make-up that made everyone look both sick and glossy.
I was cruising around and stumbled on the face of Michael Sutton, an actor who played Radu in the TV movie “Dracula The Dark Prince”. now in my head as soon as I saw his face, Santino popped in my head. There’s a tie between him and François Arnaud in my little version of casting the VC characters – some days François Arnaud works a little bit for Nicolas as well :3
François Arnaud is good Nicolas stuff. I’m gonna have to watch the Borgias now, right? Yeah. Bonus points:
- Canadian, but born in Quebec, where French is the official language, so I’d say he’s got authentic enough French heritage (and he speaks English, French and Spanish fluently!)
- Can sing and play the piano so he must be able to read sheet music LET’S PUT A VIOLIN IN HIS HANDS
- 6’ 0¾" (1.85 m) tall :D, Lestat is about the same, which is important, bc they share clothes in Paris ❤
- 31 yrs old but can still pass for his early 20′s.
- Looks damn fine in period costume
(Re: Michael Sutton, can you find me a good gif or two? I’m having trouble getting one bc there are alot of Michael Suttons out there or smtg.)
I hope you’re ok with me using this as a message board? But if anyone’s on byfandom I’ve made a group for vc, and if your not on by fandom, please consider signing up! because it’s mostly captain american at the moment
Looks like some kinda other social networking for fandom? If tumblr ever collapses in on itself, we’ll need an alternate platform. Worth checking out!
//Also because I’m trash I ship Gabrielle too with Jessie both seem to run on instinct, sense of adventure and wonderlust. Also with Marius both trying to find and hold onto beauty. Maybe with David too because of their shared love for the wild. Maybe Gabrielle would be good with Pandora too?
I’ll ship just about anything AU ;D
Gabrielle/David – Regardless of potential compatibility Lestat would have an opinion on this:
“DAVID’S MY BAE MOM!!!” *huffs*
Gabrielle/Jesse – yes.
Gabrielle/Marius – I think she’d have the same issue w/ him that she had w/ Lestat; Marius is a man of civilization. He builds a big sumptuous nest wherever he lives, w/ all the amenities. She might visit but she’d never stay. Marius holds onto beauty, Gabrielle wants to experience it and search for more. Intellectually they probably would argue all the time, like Marius did w/ Pandora, bc Marius thinks he knows everything about everything but he’s not as “with it” as Pandora and Gabrielle are.
Gabrielle/Pandora – Maybeeee… but Pandora had some serious issues, re: confidence. I don’t remember how or when that was resolved, but she was very dependent on Arjun, in a way that I doubt Gabrielle would tolerate, even in brief moments.
Gimme Gabrielle/Eleni ❤ bc of reasons.
I just got back in the VC fandom after almost a decade, for the first time doing it in English, and your blog just make me so glad I did! *w*
WELCOME BACK COME SUFFER WITH US
(different anon) I read all your posts about Anne Rice’s really strange views on her own characters (Gabrielle being a bad mother like bitch where!?) and I just decided to settle for not caring about AR’s opinions. She is just a human being, and I think me and her see the characters pretty differently, which shouldn’t prevent me from loving them on and on :D
#^THIS #AGREES AGGRESSIVELY
I, PERSONALLY, don’t need AR’s validation of my opinion on canon. We all have our own headcanon. We can all love the characters in our own way. A good story (or piece of music or art, or whatever) DOES make you “read between the lines,” it DOES make you curious. It leaves things open enough for you to fill in the blanks. It doesn’t need to explicitly state everything for you, and the author has no obligation to do so, either. This has been true ever since the very first story was ever told, the first artwork ever made.
Most of all, I’m forever grateful for the gift she has given us. I don’t have to agree with her to still feel that gratitude.
If you don’t like a character’s trajectory in canon, that’s what fanworks are for 😉 Just try to be respectful of each other, abide by the Fandom Laws and we can all enjoy it all together, which is what we all want, right?
