♛Silk boxers, usually, in bright colors and wine red. Briefs, among certain company, too. Neutrals, black, grays, pastels. They can emphasize the natural features in a very appealing way. I like the feel of taut cotton. I like the sound it makes when it’s ripped. Some nights, I prefer nothing at all.
…And who says lingerie isn’t an option? Because it very much is.
Um, agreed. TBH I would love for him to audition as Lestat, Louis or even Daniel. Dylan or Cole both. I can’t tell them apart. They are seasoned professional actors, they have such charm and charisma, they’re 25 yrs old but could easily pass for 20 or 21… so many reasons so YES PLZ.
Hello! I’m flattered that you think so, but I don’t have behind-the-scenes access on the VC TV series, much as I’d like to have it! But I try to be the person who would know at least something about it. I can’t be watching for the news 24/7 so I rely on ppl to shoot links at me of posts from the Official VC FB page, tweets from Anne or Christopher Rice, news articles, etc., something that seems relevant and not just teasing! They do alot of teasing. VC casting crowdsourcing requests.
The most recent thing, which I didn’t post about, oddly, I’ll make a post for it after this, is that the Rices met with Bryan Fuller about the project. He’s been a VC fan for a looooong time:
Was so enamored with Anne Rice’s Interview With a Vampire that, at age 15, he tracked down her phone number and called her, asking to do the screenplay adaptation. When she informed him that producer Julia Phillips owned the rights to the novel, he then called her; she was kind, but firm, in rebuffing him.
OTHER THAN ALL THAT… Currently, to my knowledge, there’s no *new* news. Check my #VC News tag to see some of the past news, and watch the tag for any updates!
AR did post this yesterday (9/19/17), nothing concrete, just that it’s still in the works:
Awww what a sweet thing to say! Yeah I’d be pretty sad if this blog disappeared, too.
(If this blog is ever shut down w/o warning, I’ll set up a new blog (or ask a few specific ppl here) to post the info of whatever happened to me and tag it #iwantmyiwtv, but hopefully we won’t have to deal w/ that.)
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.
^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?
^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.
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!
god, yes, Daniel who has at this point never stopped to even consider how the passing of trends could impact in his life/afterlife, and Armand who thinks he has grasped the importance of the difference between timeless and The Worst by now. thank you for giving me the excuse to draw mullet Daniel again
There must have been a time when I had an image of Santiago that was not movie!Santiago but it evaporated the very second this scene happened 😉 So this is all you get for him 😉
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
