just watched only lovers left alive… normally i don’t like movies with no visible plot, but this movie was absolutely astounding

YES, I loooooved OLLA! Definitely one of my faves.

So many questions about those characters! I want the backstory on all of them. How are they turned? When was Eve turned? She seems to have some kind of touch-telepathy with materials, like a druid? How did Ava get turned, is she older than Adam? WHAT HAPPENED IN PARIS 87 YRS AGO?  Some bad shit went down in Paris for our faves, too.

(From what I understand, based on my behind-the-scenes knowledge (I know a dude who is good friends with the director, Jim Jarmusch) much of what does happen in OLLA is based on real things that happened in the director’s life, specifically, experiences with an ex (in the movie, represented by Ava).)

It’s almost the VC movie we’ve deserved for a long time and I loved it! Like a documentary or a diary entry, almost. It’s humorous, sensuous, clever, dramatic, all built on a strong foundation of the characters’ chemistry w/ each other. It offers its own take on some of the vampire mythology (they don’t have reflections in mirrors, they are susceptible to blood diseases). Not alot actually HAPPENS, plot-wise, but it doesn’t need to. We’re getting a slice of life of these characters. It’s mostly a collection of charming subtle moments, like Adam trying Eve’s new “cuisine” for the first time:

^Yes, this moment has a sexiness to it *drool* but more than that, he is almost childlike in both his resistance to *~and his curiosity about~* this New Thing bc he won’t let Eve know she can improve his mood so easily bc Adam is a SERYUS Brooding Musician ffs.

Btw, there is/was an Adam RPer, @wastefulselfobsession​. You might check out their archive for more OLLA. They have character backstories!

So Adam is something of a Louis/Nicolas hybrid, being the bookworm musician who lives in a shambles and doesn’t care for fashion (or conditioner apparently). Like Louis, he doesn’t want to go around hunting the Evildoer. I can’t help but make a few more little comparisons to IWTV…

^Frickin’ house rules, ppl!!! Hot dad is angry.

image

^Claudia and Ava are SOOO sorry. Like really. So apologetic. They’ll never do it again, seriously. They are voracious little monsters, aren’t they?

image

^Little sisters to big bro/sis/makers: “We are going to have S O  M U C H fun”

More comparisons could be made but I like ppl to think I am just a casual fan and not a corkboard maniac that’s alls I got for now. 

Hello there, if by any chance you’re curious the variation ‘Malloy’ also appears in the 1990 and 91 UK edition of The Queen of the Damned.

Really? Wow. I know it’s wrong in the movie, too. *SIGH*

The books being translated in other languages I can understand a little more bc idk maybe they want the pronunciation taken into effect but the UK version would be in ENGLISH so NO EXCUSE THERE!

Hauls out all these fuckin books… anon why u kill me…

“He stared at the vampire’s full black hair, […] the curls that barely touched the edge of the white collar.” -Interview with the Vampire

“Those green eyes gazed at me […] with a mindless innocence,” -Interview with the Vampire

“I fell fatally in love with Louis, a young dark-haired bourgeois planter, graceful of speech and fastidious of manner,” -The Vampire Lestat

“His blindness to the motives or the suffering of others was as much a part of his charm as his soft unkempt black hair or the eternally troubled expression in his green eyes.” -The Vampire Lestat

“Tall, slender figure. Short dark hair. […] Black hair, green eyes, […] a frayed black sweater that hung shapelessly from his shoulders, legs like long black spokes.” -The Vampire Lestat

“his black hair full and disheveled as it had always been in the old days, and his green eyes full of melancholy wonder,” -The Queen of the Damned

“I touched his face again, the cheekbones, the arch beneath the black eyebrow. What a finely made thing he was.” -The Queen of the Damned

“He ran his fingers back through his hair. Such fine black hair. The first thing I’d ever noticed about him–well, after his green eyes, that is–was his black hair. No, all that’s a lie. It was his expression; the passion and the innocence and the delicacy of conscience.” -The Queen of the Damned

“his face sharpening, the whole picture of high cheekbones and dark probing green eyes firing beautifully.” -The Queen of the Damned

“His face, quite thin and finely drawn by nature, an exquisitely delicate face for all its obvious strength,” -The Tale of the Body Thief

“I glared at him, at the sharp graceful angles of his imperturbable face, […] his wide-set eyes, with their fine rich black lashes. How perfect the tender indentation of his upper lip.” -The Tale of the Body Thief

“Louis de Pointe du Lac, […] slender, slightly less tall than Lestat […] black of hair, gaunt and white of skin, with
amazingly long and delicate fingers […] 

whose
green eyes are soulful, the very mirror of patient misery, soft-voiced, very human,” -The Vampire Armand

“I followed his slim, delicate figure as it picked its way
through the clutter and nineteenth-century Paris, I knew that this black-clad darkhaired
gentleman, so lean, so finely sculpted, so sensitive in all his lineaments,” -The Vampire Armand

“it seemed to me that he was a vision of male perfection […] his curly black hair […] combed back over his ears and curling above his collar” -Merrick

“he seemed a young man of twenty-four–with sharply defined and beautiful features, and gaunt well-modeled cheeks.” -Merrick

That only took forever… even with all my dog-ears… anyways, Louis is a pale skinny dude with a Beauteous Male Model face, short, curly black hair, and green eyes, as described over and over and over and over again in almost every book. Brad Pitt was way off.

Also I think this accidentally became a testament to how fucking gay everyone is for Louis, it’s really unbelievable. I even tried to cut out most of the superfluous gay bits and still,

“And I realized what a dreadful
change had come over his narrow face” – Tale of the Body Thief 

Lestat, what are some of your favorite bands?

//ooc; I’ve thought about this for awhile now, it’s been almost a month 😛 and I think it’s a little unfair of my Lestat to answer, bc he’s clearly going to like what I like, to some extent! And my taste is fairly limited bc I don’t keep up with what’s popular, I tend to wait out the hype and then discover things on my own 5-10 years later, and then I’ll go, “Have you heard Crazy by Gnarls Barkley?? It’s mah jam :DDD” And my best friend will pat me on the shoulder and go “Honey that was 11 yrs ago.” *laughcries*

[X] With @roselioncourt‘s help on our REAL LIFE visit last wknd, we made a rough list of bands/artists we think Lestat would love, and I’ll reblog this post with that list, as I don’t have it with me rn, but basically, I think he’s very into the performance aspect of it, the stage presence, and he’s into pop culture, he’d probably keep up with the current music scene, the top 100, what albums are selling, etc. He also likes to do covers of his fave songs and make variations to “improve” them ;D

In the meantime, you can check out my #music lestat motorcycles to tag.

The Mael anon again! I wanted to know headcanons and actual canons. Just silly little details about him actually haha

Leave a comment

Hello again, Mael anon! I’ll have to keep thinking on this one, I’m sorry to say he’s not a character I’ve given a lot of thought to and I don’t want to write anything that might be untrue to the character just to get an answer out 😛

[^X can we has Brock O’Hurn as Mael tho? mmmmmm….][Idk what he looks like in your mind, Anon, but I see him as big like this, would love it if he had some beard scruff – I don’t remember if he has one in canon – I see fanart of Thor that makes me think of Mael, too]

There is another Mael RPer I just saw on my dash recently, tho! @sughlanu-cridh. That mun is probably who you should go to for Mael headcanons ^u^

I’ll try to come up with something but… lemme kick this out to the group, so you don’t have to wait as long… Hey tumblr fandom, any Mael headcanons and actual canons for anon?

The ‘Van Helsing’ 2004 movie deals a bit with vampire children. In there, The babies Dracula has with his brides are born dead, because vampires are ‘walking dead’. I found that concept interesting.

(Re: Vampire babies)

I don’t remember that part, but I definitely saw the movie… hmmm… maybe I blocked it out? But how did the babies even grow in the vampire mother’s wombs? Very strange. 

Here’s an article on this… which I’ll leave here, and not read, bc I’m not really wild about this topic at this time, but if you are, go for it! I bet there were a ton of articles like this bc of Breaking Dawn.

Vampire-Human Offspring of Folklore Offer Insights into the Hybrid Baby of ‘Breaking Dawn’

Hello! <3 You know, many times in this fandom we've discussed if vampires can actually have sex in the ways humans do, and I think we're not really sure how that works (lol), but now I wonder about children. I mean, Claudia was technically Louis and Lestat's adoptive daughter (or close enough) but what about female vampires? Like, it would be somehow possible for vampires to be able to bear biological children? And would that turn out? (some weird vampire baby, maybe) IDK, what do you think?

Leave a comment

(I think you mean female vampires in adult bodies, and that’s why you mentioned Claudia as not included, while she is female, she has a child’s body; and for the fact that she was the child of Louis and Lestat – she was not a vampire at her mortal birth.)

You might try the Twilight series, bc there’s a pregnant adult female vampire in that! I haven’t read it, but from what I’m told, it’s not a fun experience, to say the least :-[ Similarly, I think Blade is a half-vampire whose mother was mortal and whose father was a vampire. He can walk in the daylight bc of his mortal half, but he still requires blood (or a substitute) for his vampire half. 

KEEP IN MIND: you don’t need to agree with me at all! This is just what I think, I think a pregnant vampire story could be very bizarre and horrifying and I rarely see it even attempted in fiction, so I think you could develop this concept and write the story of the pregnant vampire you want to see in the world! 

[^X] In my opinion, if we’re talking about just Ricean vampire/vampire or vampire/mortal procreation, I don’t believe that vampires are able to become pregnant or impregnate, whether through penetrative sex or artificial insemination.* That, and the fact that they already have a means of procreation already, which is the blood exchange of the Dark Gift.

BUT WAIT:

… psssst…. Some ppl do not accept it as canon, but if you want a VC book that has vampires+pregnancy, go for the ride that is the book Prince Lestat. A vampire doctor/scientist enables one of the male vampires to have sex and impregnate a mortal woman. She carries this baby to term, and that child ends up being fully human! I would imagine that the vampire doctor/scientist was able to get the male vampire’s ‘boys’ swimming around again from being dormant for like 200+ years (that’s some vintage stuff!), essentially making them mortal again? I don’t know, and thankfully, it’s not explained in much detail.

…

*I had written a Wall of Text backing up my statement, but it felt like it was trampling on the curiosity of the anon to have all that, which I didn’t want to do, so I removed it. In the plainest terms, I don’t think Ricean vampires have active sperm or eggs, or a working uterus (has any female vampire in canon EVER mentioned getting her period? Nope!) and you need those to make a baby, even if it’s half-mortal. 

I have an unhealthy crush on Mael, can you say some stuff about him? Just Mael stuff please?

(Hello! I want to give you a good answer, but can you give me a little more info?

Maybe:

  • about what you love about him? 
  • casting ideas for him?
  • are you looking for headcanons? 
  • or canon stuff about him? Quotes?

I had typed up a few responses, but I deleted them, bc I was afraid of striking the wrong tone)

I will tell you there were two active Mael RPers in the fandom:  @thevampiremael, and @maelgallia, you might reach out to them, or browse their archives for Mael stuff!

@diesxirae drew a fanart w/ Mael in it recently, too.
