Hi! Just wondering, do you know if Anne Rice has mentioned any ideal casting for Armand like she has for Lestat? Björn Andrésen is the prettiest person I have ever seen and I can’t imagine anyone better but has she ever suggested anything?

Not that I know of, but I agree, Björn would have been great, but he’s too old now! *cries*

Does anyone follow AR on FB who knows if she’s mentioned anyone she might like? I don’t always agree with her reccs on this topic, tho. She wanted Matthew Bomer for Louis and I just can’t agree. Yes, he looks great in a suit, and he’s cute and all, but he’s too manly, he has a kind of ballsy confidence that’s overshooting Louis.

Like, personally, even though Marius is a strange blonde Roman, I still feel like he should have a Roman face, like a big nose and cheekbones that could cut glass and a strong chin.

Yah someone more like that. ;] Marius’ blondness comes from his mother’s side, IIRC. She was from Gaul:

“Marius, the tall one with the blue eyes, Marius whose mother came from Gaul and whose father was a Roman.“ – Raymond Gallant, Blood and Gold.

^Here have a nude Marius by garama bc of reasons.

Hey so I thought I knew shit about iwtv but my friend reblogged some gifs of armand but it was some cute blond guy??? And she said you’re the mothership of the fandom so pls explain I know nothing

Mothership of the fandom well that is a new title and flattering indeed! Idk about mothership but I am highly knowledgeable and pretty damn well organized with my tags when I’m not metatagging with my silliness, which makes it easier to answer these kinda questions.

Wellll I would need to see those gifs u mentioned but I would guess they are of Bjorn Andresen, who has been used as a face claim for many Armand RPers over time… sadly he is now 60+ yrs old but we can still adore the ~Amadeo perfection~ that he once was:

reblogged your post

and added:

ooc; I don’t believe she’s ever stated they watched HoW. She did mention True Blood though.

One of my fav things as a fan of both VC and Hell on Wheels is that Anson Mount (actor behind Cullen Bohannon) is also a fan of VC. Which, btw, everyone should watch Hell on Wheels because it’s such a great series.

Okay so I did a little digging and I found that merciful-death was right, AR mentioned that they all watched Tru Blood in this post here:

“You would not believe the laughter in this house when vampires come to watch True Blood on HBO. They think it’s hilarious.” 

I feel like I’ve seen fanart of them all squished onto a couch together for tv/movie night, but I can’t find it ;A; If anyone has this fanart – or wants to draw it – please gimme. 

Hah well I’ve drawn it, it’s on my DA-it’s not very good though XD;;

OMG THIS IS THE ~E X A C T~ PIECE I WAS THINKING OF THANK U SO MUCH FOR LINKING! BUT I NEED IT PHYSICALLY ON THIS POST RIGHT NOW sorry if you didn’t want that level of exposure but i say it is adorable and so sayeth the masses i am sure:

LOOKIT THIS CUTE PILE OF FANGED LITTLE TRASH MONSTERS and like Marius is all “I am not watching this shit, tell me when there’s a commercial break I will watch that.”

remarried:

Lestat, don’t patronize the tiny beast. 😦

I can’t remember why I started drawing this but now it’s gonna be the cover for a fanmix I may finish /wiggles out of commitment

Lestat/Armand was never a ship I thought about when I was younger idk but older me recognizes it as Good.
