who do you prefer: canon shoulder-length hair Louis or movie Brad Pitt Louis?

Canonically, his hair is first (and arguably best) described here:

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

^But he might have trimmed it that night, he did dress up for the interview, too! So he did pay some attention to his appearance.

I can’t recall anywhere in canon that Louis wears a hair ribbon/tie, which would give us that it’s at least long enough for that, so I don’t think it’s necessarily even that long.

Re: Brad!Louis hair: When I read IWTV for the first time it was the summer before the movie came out; they were already teasing about the movie, we knew who was playing Louis, and I’d seen Brad in other things and then saw the movie itself, so I admit that Brad!Louis influenced my headcanon of him in the beginning; I would have answered Brad!Louis then. Especially bc I have wavy-curly hair myself and had fought it most of my childhood, so Louis’ hair being described as silky was my idea of manageable (straight, slightly wavy) hair!

^And this can’t be an accident that they included this very blatant non-consensual fondling of Louis’ hair right when he’s about to be punished by Santiago & Co.

Since that time, I’ve read plenty of fanfic and seen plenty of fanart that depicts Louis with varying hair lengths and textures, and after private debates with @wicked-felina, I accepted canon!Louis hair as preferable, but really, I love it all. I have an ability to enjoy

contradictory

canon and fanfic, parallel processing them both.

Most recently I’ve been very supportive of Ezra Miller’s hair from Madame Bovary as Louis hair. It’s full, meaning VOLUME, it’s more wavy at the top and curlier further down, and just long enough to touch his collar:

If you want to see some more examples of more of a canon!Louis hair, see my #Louis has canon hair I know that will make at least 2 ppl I know very happy tag (and those 2 know who they are!)

As beauty is in the eye of the beholder, again, I think both are perfectly valid!

I just got a notif for the casting call for Nicolas and I screamed lol. Do you have any favs/people that come to mind?

Anon’s right, Nicolas casting topic went out yesterday:

I had answered a Nicolas casting question a year ago and now I felt like doing it fresh, see if my answers change… I looked through some of the suggestions on the OVCFB page but I couldn’t make it through ALL of the comments and I really liked this comment, let’s choose an unknown actor!:

Anyway. Keep in mind beauty is in the eye of the beholder and so I saw quite a wide variety on the OVCFB page due to that. My own opinions reflect my own idea of beauty so yours may vary.

BUT FIRST, a brand-new misspelling of his name by a POTP bc reasons:

Nocholos…… Buenos Nocholos….. *eyeroll*

So in no special order (except I think Ezra Miller is my fave rn)

^Ezra Miller: Looks great in period costume, has perfect hair, has so much sass. I saw him in We Need to Talk About Kevin, I just think he is captivating, and cruel, and humorous, all the ingredients for a Nicolas de Lenfent ❤

^Ben Barnes is not currently my FAVE appearance-wise, I feel like he’s too… soft?…. but his acting boosts him up. He seems to be the front running POTP fave so I am betting AR will follow up with him.

^Benedict Samuel: I’ve only seen him recently in The Walking Dead, and you have to see him in that, bc he’s as sweet and tender and intense and depressive as Nicolas needs to be. Physically, these full lips and dark brooding eyes, the wide smile that’s almost manic and the frown that speaks to a deeper well of misery that no one can hope to touch. Am I praising him too much? PROBABLY BUT I DO WHAT I WANT. [I wax on poetic about him a little more here]

^Reeve Carney seems to be a HUGE POTP favorite. I hate his hair. HATE. THE MIDDLE. PART. AND. SO. FLAT. If they can give him a wig, then we might be in business.

^Alexander Vlahos well bc Versailles. He was mentioned a few times on the OVCFB so we may see some followup with him.

^Louis Garrel has been a Louis RPer’s face claim and he’s a Nicolas face claim currently for @bloodstrung. I see Garrel as more of a Louis, but I’d screentest him as Nicolas.

Hit the jump for more, cut for length.

^Jonas Kesseler is a model so idk if he’s too old now or if he can act, but visually, he is pretty close to my headcanon.

^I used to really love Gaspard Ulliel as Lestat but not so much anymore… also, the POTP have made me consider him for Nicolas and I think it could work! I like that he has the scar, too, and that could be explained in the show in some fun way like it was in Hannibal Rising.

^David Garrett, I feel like he’s too masculine, too mature of feature, but he is amazing on the violin so that could outweigh his physical appearance for me. @darknessmolten used him as a face claim.

^Landon Liboiron was a POTP suggestion, I am kinda digging him for reasons I can’t explain.

^Nicolas RPer @a-misunderstanding-my-love used model Michael Gandolfi, and idk if he still looks like this or if he can act, but I think he has some of the cruelty that you need for a good Nicolas.

I like to think that Erza Miller (playing Leon Depuis) is a good cast for louis or nicholas (probably nicholas since erza is good at the “losing my mind” look)

Ezra has this sweet mischevious/devilish quality that’s more Nicolas than Louis to me, but @thelionscrimsonclaws liked Ezra as Louis on this post.

I haven’t seen this movie but I should. Ezra looks great in period costume. I saw him in We Need to Talk About Kevin, he was gr9! I’d screentest him for Nicki.
