♛I have so much love to give, you really expect me to be monogamous about my kissing? I might add that it wasn’t romantic.

Louis is grateful when I kiss other people. That’s one less kiss he has to give me for the night, and he already has to give me plenty.
Let’s be real here, AR probably forgot how she had described it or hadn’t decided on how it should be, bc IIRC it’s only those two instances in all of canon that it’s described as straight, and those were in books 1 and 3, while she might still have been developing him as a character.
IIRC, Armand’s hair is described as curly when he was mortal and when he was a fledgling, so I think that’s the natural state of it. I don’t recall him ever mentioning straightening it, but when it’s mentioned in IWTV, it’s the 1970′s, and in QOTD, it’s the 1980′s, so he had access to straightening products if he felt like straightening his hair.

^X @amadeo-child-of-the-renaissance found this, another Botticelli angel Armand 😉 AR bases Armand off these Botticelli angels and they have varying straight and curly hair.
Something like this?:




Why not? They’re cute scruffy, too! Could have been fun to see them more like this in IWTV.


[^Tom in the Last Samurai, Brad in Legends of the Fall)
Not that I know of but I consider him an honorary member, he read the first 4 books to prepare for the role and at one point was interested in playing Lestat again. He has only ever spoken highly of Lestat ❤

I’d love for him to be involved in the next adaptation in whatever capacity; I’d love him to play Lestat’s dad, bc he’s old enough now! Or if he could be a Lestat coach for the next Lestat, that’d be awesome, too.
Don’t you know tho? The Dark Gift comes with a free perm….

… there’s also the humidity to consider, NOLA is a pretty humid place, other VC locations might also be humid.
I just skimmed TVL, and yes, it looks like there’s a lot of curly-hair references, but having read the entire series, what sticks out more for me are the “round little arms” on the women and children, like, WHAT OTHER SHAPE would they be? “square little arms” “trapezoid little arms”…?
I haven’t heard about that at all, it’s possible! Let’s hope we get enough kissing in the upcoming adaptation to make up for the lack of L/L smooches in movie!IWTV <333

Idk, tho, Brad was willing to kiss an actual child, I feel like that’s more taboo than kissing an adult man. Knowing the kind of roles he’s had in his career I don’t think he would have refused to kiss a man onscreen in 1994.

^This was apparently not a “stage kiss,” Kirsten said this was her first kiss with a guy and she apparently hated it; she said it felt like kissing her brother (which really is pretty accurate).

^You might also be thinking of that moment where Louis sort of teases that he’s gonna kiss Armand but he doesn’t actually do it.

♛*sighs heavily* How can you ask such a thing? I’ll pretend you didn’t just call my former lover “insane,” and I’ll pretend you didn’t just suggest that Louis could so easily be cast aside, like some used piece of chewing gum. I mean, yes, while being hopelessly devoted to him, I admit I have my flings with others, but he’s the one… he knows how much he means to me.

What Nicolas and I shared – it’s over. Long over. Just scar tissue now. Can never be rekindled. We were something, everything, to each other once. He made it absolutely clear in what ended up being our last meeting that he wanted nothing to do with me, that I had failed him in so many ways. Perhaps he was right. I would have gone back for him, I asked if I should go back for him, he didn’t want me.
And you know what? He failed me, too. He led me to believe that he wanted to succeed in Paris, but every success we had was secretly a thorn in his side, and he was riddled with wounds before we were ever separated.
I failed him. But I have to believe that I helped him get some joy out of life in our brief time together, because he taught me what love could be. I have to believe that wasn’t a one-sided thing.
I gave him what I could. I’ve closed those chapters.
Merci for the lovin’ on my blargh ❤
Thanks for the info! I think this is pretty cool, that it seems like there is a connection here, but I’m not really hugely into Marius/Armand myself… so ppl who love Armand/Marius more than I do can do their own deep investigating for more, but I did just a teensy bit, this was a cool find:

From DiscoveringdaVinci.com:
This is a painting of Da Vinci’s pupil, assistant, and lover Salino Giacomo, or “Salai.” Why is the title “Mona Lisa” an anagram for “Mon Salai” ? Why does a painting of Salai combine with the painting of Mona Lisa?
… “The lover is moved by the beloved object as the senses are by sensual objects; and they unite and become one and the same thing. The work is the first thing born of this union; if the thing loved is base the lover becomes base.” — Leonardo da Vinci
