Louis doodle I found on my other computer :O
“Then kill me!” he answered. “I wish that you would. But don’t kill human beings! Don’t interfere with them. Even if they kill each other! Give them time to see this new vision realized; give the cities of the West, corrupt as they may be, time to take their ideals to a suffering and blighted world.” – Louis de Pointe du Lac, Queen of the Damned

And I understood that in her own way Akasha was a monster. I was a monster as well. I had no intention of creating a devotion for her. She was a secret. And from the moment she came into my hands she and her consort were most truly
[gifs @roykhaan]
She had ALWAYS found villains more exciting
thanheroes. They had ambition, passion. They
made the stories h a p p e n. Villains didn’tfeardeath. No, they wrapped themselves in death
like suits of armor! As she inhaled the school’s
graveyard smell, she felt her BLOOD RUSH. For
like all villains, death didn’tscareher.
IT MADE HER FEEL ALIVE.
i drew this for @oramuda as a surprise! but pizzaz is my waifu too so >:)
WATCH MOONBEAM CITY IT’S EXCELLENT FUNNY
One of my fave topics is VC casting 😀 and Enkil doesn’t get enough love. So naturally I wrote an unnecessarily long-ass answer.
(^Rami Malek from NatM bc I couldn’t look at pics of him from Twilight, that vampire makeup was just too weird for me and that’s saying a lot bc I love the gross vampire makeup from 30 Days of Night.)
Rami is ethnically perfect and very cute and Enkil was supposedly pretty young when he started his rule:“But he was young and strong and determined to rule his land.” Maharet talking about Enkil, QOTD
And he looks like someone a giant bitch in a tiny package Strong Woman like Akasha could push around without much resistance. I vaguely remember liking Rami in NatM, all those characters were somewhat cartoonish and I always enjoy that. I’ve only seen bits of the Twilight movies but not enough to poison myself, and not enough to remember him from them 😛
But if you really want MY opinion, he’s not my first choice for Enkil.
We first really meet Enkil in TVL when Lestat meets him for a cordial discussion Enkil nearly crushes Lestat’s skull in defense of his Queenie. Even before that moment, Lestat is freaking the hell out over TWMBK. Not many characters are capable of scaring the (figurative) shit out of Lestat, and Enkil is one of them. So he needs to be able to look intimidating before he can speak or even move. Granted, some of Lestat’s flipping-out was more about the fact that they might be paralyzed inside their bodies (if you haven’t seen @remarried’s fanart of that moment you really must), but still. The near skull-crushing certainly gave him someone to be scared of in Enkil. Normally I defend all actor’s abilities over their physical characteristics, but in this case, he starts out as a statue, and needs to look intimidating without the help of fancy moves and lines.
So I imagine him looking more masculine, a hint of grimness (he orders some pretty cruel stuff if you remember!) and some mystery in his face, and I happened to see Ranveer Singh on my dash just today… and yes. Yes yes. Yisss.
Difficulty: Finding pics of Ranveer NOT smiling. I don’t know his acting, whether he does Serious at all, but physically, Ranveer matches my headcanon better than Rami. Rami might be a good Khayman, though.
I’m also not of the Social Justice Warrior contingency that demands ethnic conformance of the actor to the character. I am not politically correct *shrugs*
17 times Nicki Minaj expertly shut down sexism
The rest of the quotes — about slut shaming, ownership and being real — are just as incredible.
@i-want-my-iwtv : Look at our perfect Akasha ,momma Swan .
Akasha WISHES she was as girl power as Ms. Minaj!
I don’t remember what ethnicity she was supposed to be specifically, Greek? A year ago @evan-wheeler offered Eva Green as Akasha but now that we have Nicki Minaj…. that role is sorta cast in my heart!
Aside for what the social justice warriors might say re: her ethnicity, I think Eva Green would be great as Pandora.
^Pandora with AU!Caucasian Arjun.
