Hey, everyone. I’ve gotten some good reception from my pictures I’ve posted. Thank you all for that, coming from the bottom of my heart.
Now, I have a question for all of you. The Vampire Chronicles is full of representation that we’re assuming will be finally brought to light on the TV screen. So before I ask, a small anecdote.
I am Andrei, a 20 year old (pre-transition) transgender man. Finding a name that fit me, finding where I was comfortable, and finding who I was even was a difficult journey…
Until I met Armand.
We have both been through similar struggles about our identity in all aspects, and so I took his birth name Andrei as my chosen. That’s how much he means to me. But I want to take this further. I want to start my passion not only as an actor, but a Vampire Chronicles fan. I want to audition for the role of Armand, but I need to make sure that my fellow fans are open to this idea. That being said–
Please like or reblog this if you would support Armand being portrayed by a transgender man.
It would mean the world to me if I knew I had all of you behind me, beside me, and in front of me.
Thank you,
Andrei Francis Bates

Day 3: Vampires wearing makeup.
So, like, this isn’t exactly a vampire wearing makeup, but it’s what came to mind. This is Armand before Marius took him in; back when he was still in a brothel.
All shall love him and despair!

“Master, don’t let me ever make you angry. Don’t let me ever–.”
“No, Amadeo, be my challenger, be my questioner, be my bold and ungrateful pupil.” He looked faintly sad. He pushed me gently. He gestured to the coffin. The purple satin damask shimmered.
“And so I lie in it,” I whispered, “so young.”

What’s in a name? A lot when we’re talking about Armand from The Vampire Chronicles. In The Vampire Armand, Armand breaks down his life for you. However I like to break down his novel/life into 3 parts according to his given names:
- Andrei (Given by his Father: Ivan)
- Amadeo (Given to him by his Master: Marius)
- Armand (Given to him by his fellow Coven member aka Child Of Darkness: Allesandra)
Instead of rambling on here is a concise summary of Amadeo vs. Armand – click here. Thank you to @faceofabotticelliangel .
I just don’t think I could write anything that could do Armand justice after reading @faceofabotticelliangel ‘s post.
Enjoy the photo-set!

Describe us Vampire Armand. What do you think about this specific character?
[textmeme by armandromanus, who deactivated so I can’t link to them]
I’ll admit that Armand is not one of my fave characters so I haven’t spent as much effort analyzing him and really getting to know him as others have. Can you ask something specific about him?
You can check my tags for Armand fanart, cosplay, headcanons, etc.:
This is open to anyone to answer, but I am preeeetty sure @sheepskeleton would have a better answer for you 😉
Armand RPers are invited to answer, too! I would name some here but I actually don’t follow them all, and would feel bad leaving anyone out.
How about Matthew Clavane for Armand?
Oh yes, you have my vote! Someone suggested him about 3 weeks ago, so go there for my more elaborate response ;]
