We can archive right from the dash!! but not from Drafts yet, but still, I can stop adding to the insurmountable pile that is my Drafts so this is a huge help
Cool! Yeah I would ask them myself but I’d probably have as much chance of getting a response from them as you would at this point, since it looks like they’re inactive 😛
But maybe another French speaker out there can listen to what he’s saying and figure it out based on context clues!
I would love some Nicki/Lestat action in whatever the next adaptation we get…
^This especially plzkmerciàbientôt… [fanart by his holiness @garama]
And I really do want to share more about myself, bc I am not, unfortunately, Tom Cruise from 1994. If I could be, I might be. But I very much am not. Idk tho, would I want to be a dude? Hmmmm… Better cancel that appointment with Raglan James…
1. I went to NOLA recently and my best friend graciously snapped this pic of me and my new boyfriend
Currently, I smile more for pics… I went through a phase where I thought I was as fat as Teddy here, I was definitely bigger but not that big… and that was an embarrassing time, I lost 30 lbs when I first moved to NY from
joining weight watchers and all the walking.
HIT THE JUMP FOR THE REST, bc images make it a LONG POST.
2. ROLLERBLADING
Yes, as a child of the early 90′s, I have always been into rollerblading when the weather’s appropriate for it. The challenge is in finding a place to do it, which is tough, bc there are little kids and dogs to be run over EVERYWHERE in the city.
Here I am equipped w/ wristguards bc I broke my left wrist on rollerblades about 10 yrs ago and I don’t need a repeat of that experience ever. Took this pic awhile ago, back when I was not smiling for selfies. Also featured: my actual real curly hair which I usually straighten bc of reasons I could go into if u really want to know.
I have also changed my couch covering since then, no more hot pink! But I do still have that blanket and use it when it gets bitter cold here.
3. Handmodeling
I have an off-and-on career as a hand model and even tho I hardly do it anymore (scheduling conflicts mostly), I really liked it, and I still think my hands are aesthetically pleasing. Like c’mon, look at those airplane-hangar shaped nails! 100% REAL.
4. NYC
As u may or may not have gathered by now, I live in New York City. It’s pretty cool. Yeah. I live on the West side, near Columbus Circle. So if there’s anything you need photographed in NYC, I might be willing to go do it for ya!
5. I CAN ONLY COOK A LIMITED MENU
But that menu includes very good French Toast. I have received rave reviews from actual foodies so I know it’s not just my bias. That’s turkey bacon with it. 10/10 would bang highly recommend.
If you want to know even MORE about me…
My policy with this blog is that it should only be VC-related… and that means I can’t be in it very much as a human, but maybe I should change that. Do you really want to know more about me?
I’m very approachable tho, so if you come off anon and message me privately, then I can feel more free to talk about myself w/out spamming my followers’ dashes! *u*
[And it was paired with an image that appears to be of model Tomek Szczukiecki][so maybe it’s him?]
Sorry to tell ya that I DON’T KNOW WHO THE AUDIO IS FROM ;A; AND THE ORIGINAL POST DIDN’T TAG HIM, EITHER. @devilsviolinist was the original poster and I’m not sure if that mun is active… try asking them and report back if you find out.
I usually order americanos, because I like the strong scent of coffee. I can’t taste it ever again but the aroma is enough to bring back memories. Armand will order anything in a hot cup, so people can’t see how much he hasn’t drunk while we sit there for hours playing card games or watching people walk by. Sometimes he orders their weirder concoctions just to poke at them and see what they look and smell like. Last time we were there, he ordered peppermint mochca.
He also insists on doing the ordering after the time I told them his name was Lestat and a goth guy said, “Little short for the vampire Lestat, aren’t you?” I think he was flirting but Armand nearly threw the coffee in his face.
@vampchronfic would back me up on this: So I want to say Yes. Louis spends many pleasurable evenings reclining on a plush couch at the Rue Royale, with Lestat’s arm wrapped around his shoulders, a comfy blanket over them both, reading together with their favorite music on, or bingewatching something like Peaky Blinders… we all know Lestat can’t sit perfectly still for very long, so you know he’s petting Louis with his free hand, maybe rearranging the pillows around them, you know… cuddly fidgeting *u*
Louis’ default expression was never a full smile, but it’s closer to a smile now than it ever was in the past. He has the Mona Lisa partial-smile nailed down, and it’s natural. He’s visited Hell and been brought back, found Earth much more pleasant in comparison. He’s got his angel, and they can communicate now in a way that was impossible before. There’s still friction, but any healthy relationship has that and they’re both so in tune with each other that they can diagnose an issue before it spirals too far out of control, “Wait. Are you saying that because you mean it, or are you cranky because you’re hungry?”They’re huge toddlers and it’s usually that.
Who in this world is super smiley all day everyday kind of happy? But yes, Louis is as close to everyday kind of happy that he’s ever been ❤
Okay trying this again (not on the tablet and in the correct blog!)–I’m in full agreement with #i-want-my-iwtv. It’d be odd if Louis had a big ole grin plastered on his face all the time, but as far as contentment and happiness, he’s as close to that as he has ever been in his long life. Lestat knows it and as far as Louis’s concerned, that’s what matters. Because he presents a rather sober appearance you might get the idea he is humorless, but those are the ones you have to watch out for – he’ll slay the room (if you will pardon the expression) with a well-placed one liner. As for smiling–sure he does—but those mega-watt smiles? I’d guess he saves most of those for Lestat.
I’m really grateful you came back and saw this! I never know if anons will ever see their ask answered, and I always hope that they do. No worries at all, I spend time when it’s something that I care deeply about, and apparently I care deeply about soul-searching why I can’t answer certain things, hahaha…
Come off anon, let me love you, you fanged little trash kitten! ❤
(psssst: Ask me about specific characters in specific parts of canon, that’s much easier to answer!)

First of all thank you for such a lovely compliment! THAT MEANS ALOT AND YOU MEAN ALOT.
I made this the blog I wanted to find when I was looking for VC fandom action. People like you who follow it and love it and tell me so, you give me life.
*cries a little bc of the feels*
AHEM okay, *straightens up* so, as far as VC casting, I was asked this awhile back and I still haven’t been able to answer, and couldn’t figure out why I was feeling speechless about it. That’s why I’m attempting to answer now, with this “I can’t answer!” answer. Why not? Why can’t I seem to motivate myself to do a full VC cast when it would be a fun thing to attempt?? After some introspection…
Short answer is:
When you say ALL, there are so many characters to consider I get overwhelmed,
I have a relatively open mind, which means I might consider ppl who may not “look the part,”**
And there are ppl from different eras who are too old now who I WOULD HAVE WANTED SO MUCH.
I prefer fanart of the characters over a lot of the current actors available. Check my #fave tag for my faves ^_____^
(**After all, AR was vociferous about Tom Cruise not “looking the part” but then when she saw his performance she praised him to high heaven; showing us all that it’s somewhat unfair not to give an actor the chance to prove his craft, that he’s more than his physical attributes.
Really phenomenal acting transcends physical appearance, it can even alter physical appearance within one scene.
Also isn’t that Hamilton Musical doing great w/ race-swapped characters? So that’s another consideration, too.)
That’s the abridged gist of it :- so check my #vc castingtag, it has a wide variety of character options to peruse (some were submitted or suggested to me, some I’ve offered up for consideration) and my opinions about them *u*
Hit the jump for the long-windier reasons why “I can’t answer!”
1 – There are TONS of characters in VC, I mean, do you want to go into minor characters, as far as like, that mortal Emily who was already dead in IWTV, killed by that zombie vampire, and her bereft spouse/fiancé/boyfriend Morgan (I think that was his name, can’t check rn)? Arjun? Is he a minor character? Not in Pandora’s book, but he’s hardly sketched out in Blood and Gold.
There are a lot of characters and honestly if I were to do a post like that, I would want to be very thorough, with notes backing my reasons, it would be a REALLY long post, possibly need to be done in several parts, it would take hours, and it would probably be met with like 5 likes, 2 reblogs, and possibly a bunch of disagreement 😦
While I don’t post things For the Notes, when I’m going to invest a good chunk of my time in a fandom Thing, I do it for something I can’t resist doing bc I care about it deeply, or it’s for someone I know specifically, or it’s something hilarious that I have a pretty good feeling will amuse my kind of people.
I did this long post about casting Rose de Lioncourt, and it got 16 notes, so it seeeeems like ppl didn’t really care enough about her, and it took me at least an hour to put that together, it was basically a labor of love from me since I cared about it deeply enough. *shrugs*
VC casting is fun to discuss but bc we had such a terrible experience with QOTD, and there’s been little news of another adaptation, it’s hard to get REALLY excited about ;n;
2 – So as I said, I’m really generous with actors, so I have trouble picking just ONE per role, I would need them to screentest!
It also depends on their combinations with other actors and which story the director has chosen to tell. For example, whoever is cast as Louis has to work well with be really gay with whoever is cast as Lestat *u* BUT they have a very different relationship in IWTV than they do in TOBT.
Same goes for casting someone like Armand, if we’re telling the story of TVA, the actor will need to be able to show the evolution from mortal to vampire, and a lot of other major changes in his life and unlife. But if it’s QOTD, it’s not Armand’s story specifically, but his role is more about his relationship with Daniel. That affects the casting choice.
3 – A lot of singers from the 90’s, or 80’s, or even earlier, would make fantastic Lestats.
I would hope that the next VC movie shows Lestat as Monsieur Le Rockstar, if not on stage, at least working something out privately at home, and actually singing lyrics that are not terrible, lol. I would want a Lestat who can sing, since it’s such a huge part of his identity as a performer.
Also, that Björn Andrésen is pretty much my purest headcanon for Armand, but alas, that actor is 61 now ;A;
With actors who are too old, we can use them as a point of inspiration, casting agents probably take kid!pics of adult actors in order to find a point of inspiration when they need to cast the child version of those actors in films.
4 – The fanart in our fandom is incredible. So much of it! We are spoiled with so many fandom treasures in our fanartist collection. We have hilarious fanartists, serious ones, all flavors. Check my #fave tag for my faves ^_____^
Ah, hmmmmmm…. I don’t remember that specifically, and I’m feeling like I should know that…
^Lee Pace as Marius bc of reasons.
… but I can surmise that since he was the only authority figure anyone paid respect to for awhile, that would naturally lead to them speculating on him abusing such status.
Which he did, somewhat, with Armand, when he took him in. I haven’t personally dissected that ship too thoroughly, so I wouldn’t know.
I’ll open this up to the group: Anyone out there have an answer for this anon?
