I’ve been going through certain tags for certain reasons and I feel compelled to share that I love how the ‘porn for Louis’ tag is all, like, flowers and fires and flowers on fire and shit like that while the ‘porn for Lestat’ tag is actual porn and that really summarizes everything I love about the contrast between these two gloriously gay vampire bbs. Like, yes, opposites really do attract, and Anne damn well knows it. XD

Lol thank you for stalking those tags, I’m really picky about what I post there… And btw anyone is welcome to use those tags, too.

#porn for Louis / #porn for Lestat

Louis does get stimulated by fire, and unusual or gorgeous things in nature, just the immersive quality of those things. When he looks at these things, he’s mesmerized by the interplay of colors and shapes, the movement even in a still painting or photograph, it’s an immersive experience for him. So I’m very picky about what I put in that tag, only things that I feel like he would want to watch for a good long while as if he could enter the work itself, bodyless, just mentally engaging with the composition. That’s very stimulating for him. 

In my mind, Lestat’s porn is usually more related to fashion, I’m thinking of it as like, adjacent to his need for retail therapy. The idea of wearing something and what it projects out to the world about you, the tactile nature of wearing it and being touched whilst wearing it, the interplay of the lighting, space, and environment in which you wear the thing. Dazzling a crowd of people without needing to say a word. The storyteller/actor/sensualist in him loves the idea of drenching oneself in shimmering dream skins, so it’s another type of immersive experience. 

^Now I’ve sort of convinced myself that their porn, altho dissimilar on the surface, actually sort of brings them to a similar state of mind. Something immersive, some level of deeper appreciation for nature/art. Some level of changing reality, and for creatures that cannot themselves change, maybe that’s what is stimulating. 

Being turned into a vampire is an act of metamorphosis, it’s the greatest intimacy they can experience. I would think that things that remind of them of transformation and complete immersion like that would be stimulating in what we might consider a sexual way. 

Lestat would probably also love watching the sillier porn tropes like the pizza delivery guy thing, but more bc of the comedy than it being sexually stimulating. Probably also likes to watch vintage or vampiry ones with Daniel and/or Armand, like Intercourse with the Vampire, they’re all rolling on the couch, giggling at it like 7 yr olds.

Although, Lestat can also be somewhat deviant and cruel, to his loved ones but usually to his victims, so I would imagine he has trawled the internet and video stores for… more legit porn to watch alone. Even so, I would hope that he wouldn’t be into any really gross kinks, nothing really degrading to anyone involved. But I can’t say for sure bc he is highly Problematic :[

Hey Lestat! I’m a huge fan! I’m looking for a set of fangs I can wear for Hallow’s Eve or on other occasions when I need a confidence boost, but I want to be as realistic as I can. Would you recommend a style, find me a picture (or take one!) of fangs as close to the ones you have as possible? If nobody makes them properly, I’ll at least need a picture so I can make them myself, since I know where to find all the necessary tools. Thanks in advance!

♛Of course you’re a huge fan of mine, how could you not be? *smiles*

Fangs do give mortals a noticeable confidence boost; every version of myself I see on the streets of New Orleans is just oozing with it. Even those masquerading in cosplay as Armand or Louis take pleasure in flaunting their fangs.  

The only fangs I “make” are the ones grown naturally by my fledglings or the one custom pair that I discussed previously, which were realistic in shape but not material. Take note, I actually have six upper fangs. I don’t know why. Something to do with our appetites, perhaps. That’s all the advice I have on that.

//ooc; so Lestat obviously can’t really take a picture for you! But here’s a pic of Brad trying on fangs for IWTV. More angles here [X]. They did two sets in IWTV, these are the “attack” or “wide-shot” fangs, longer than the normal ones so that they’re visible from a distance. 

Claudia’s here are shorter, possibly bc she was a child, but also bc Michele Burke was going for a vampire makeup in which at first the vampires looked like normal people, but w/ something slightly *off,* that they could conceal the fangs when speaking, passing for normal people, or reveal them if they chose to do so. 

what is my life that I’m drawing whiskers on a pic of Brad Pitt from 1992 or ‘93 and indicating which of his teeth would be fangs OH WELL

image

^Basically you want the fangs to be long enough to be visible but not interfere when you close your mouth, so they’re really more draping along the outside of the lower teeth. To get that canine point looking sharp, curving it back like a snake’s makes sense.

The IWTV fangs also involve the lateral incisor, the tooth between the front and the canine, and here it’s also kind of pointed backwards here but I think Tom’s was done straighter. It also looks like Tom had the first premolars as fangs, too, but I’m not sure. Doing the lower canine is a thing other vampire media does, often. I’m not sure if they did that for IWTV. I don’t think so since this post has Brad’s fangs for sale on eBay and it’s only the upper teeth.

I imagine straight or curved, having one or two neighboring fangs would be beneficial for gripping a struggling victim’s flesh, sharing the strain put on the canines. 

Elaborating on your last post about fake fangs, what do you know about fangsmiths? Are those fangs durable? I’m just so curious because they sound awesome!

Hello! I am actually… really passionate about this and I’ve thought about doing it for myself, too! For now I settle with fanart of me w/ fangs…

image

[^Portrait of moi by the amazingly talented @vaciel, it’s a WIP, I hope they finish it someday][Ya can’t see them but I would have the canine fangs, too, you can only see the

lateral incisor fangs here

(that’s the tooth between the

front tooth and the canine)]

I actually don’t know the specifics, it depends on the fangsmith, but we have a few

fangsmiths

brought into Halloween Adventure here in NYC leading up to Halloween every year to make fangs, so you might get in touch with that store. They would probably need to be done in person so that the fangsmith can take a cast of your teeth so that their fangs will fit perfectly (my little story about the custom fangs, well, Lestat sneakily gets the cast by making the molds himself w/ Brian, during an evening of experimentation with Alginate ^____^ ) I’m pretty sure the fangsmiths all make their fangs removable.

One fangsmith, who I think is one of the Halloween Adventure ones, is Father Sebastiaan, and he has a gallery and prices. He has a list of pointers about his fangs that are probably true for other fangsmiths:

  • “Fangs color match your teeth.
  • They will last 2-3 years with good care, longer if you are careful.
  • Not wise to sleep or eat with them.
  • OK for smoking, drinking coffee, tea, alcohol, absinthe and sex.
  • Made from high quality dental acrylics.
  • 18 years of fang making experience.
  • Good for singing.
  • Feel like your real teeth when being worn.”

This is one of the customers in his gallery:

^IWTV-style fangs, I think, bc this dude vampire has the lateral incisors done, too ❤

Hit the jump for a little more, anyone w/ more info is welcome to share or tag someone who does!

I’ve also seen my fair share of custom fangs made by dentists who are willing to do cosmetic work, like the plastic surgeons who are willing to make your ears pointy for superficial reasons. Much more expensive, I would assume. Here’s a picture of a fan at a booksigning for PL in ‘14 who I think had permanent fangs and hers were… in my opinion… too big. She reminded me a little more of a sabretooth tiger than a vampiress but hey! It worked for her. 

image

[X] Sorry for the low-res, it was hard to get any snaps of her! Her fangs were concealed when her mouth was closed, but her lip was pushed out to make room, I guess, and I think she had a little difficulty talking. Hers seemed very durable.

Dear my Charming Prince Lestat, in a post over a year ago you mentioned having made custom fangs made for a friend of yours molded off of your own. May you pretty please – with a blood drop on top – elaborate on that? And Louis, what was your reaction to Lestat getting his tattoo? (Your words, not his)

Leave a comment

♛Oui, ma petite. I did mention that particular gift *smiles* and it is a gift that keeps on giving… It was a gift for a mortal we have grown extremely attached to, allowed his life to tangle into ours, and shared some very intimate evenings together. “Ours” not in the royal sense but in the Mine and Louis’ sense.

image

Our beloved Brian Callahan drove into our lives one night by chance; he was assigned to chauffeur us to the airport on a night that we preferred mortal transit. Since then, he became a personal assistant, friend, and then even closer as a lover for one or both of us at different times… It’s difficult to say that fate was not involved. I don’t know that I would call it fate that brought Louis and I together, but a similar invisible thread must have brought Brian to us as the one that brought Louis and I together. 

During our more intimate moments, I’d wanted to see Brian with fangs of his own, wanted him to be able to pierce our flesh without hand-held blades (even as erotic as seeing him with an antique razor has been) or having us do it for him, but there is more consideration to be had over whether he wants the more permanent fangs. The custom fangs are fashioned of a white pearlescent metal that he can remove, but again, they are not just for show; the intention was for them to be functional and they are reinforced enough that he can truly bite, quite firmly and pleasurably. What he has are stunning and vicious training wheels *flicks fangs* We all enjoy them.

I will add here that the fangsmith who made his fangs had been very impressed with mine, and asked me, repeatedly, “Who did your work?” and refused to believe that they’re real. Finally I told him, “Magnus.”

And the fangsmith said he’d never heard of that designer. I replied very curtly: “He’s French and he’s dead.”

…Louis will answer your other question separately, about the time I had “Property of Louis” tattooed across my chest just to rile him, it was a trick that could only be done once, and his reaction far exceeded my expectations!

//ooc; I meant to write that fic about the custom fangs, and it’s @vampchronfic/@gairid‘s OC, Brian Callahan (click his name for more about him, but if you really want to get to know him, you’ll have to read Gairid’s fics on AO3!

Also, wow, I am beyond flattered that you dug that deeply into my archive to followup on that. *hearteyes* I had asked Gairid if I could write that fic with her OC, and she’s even given me notes and encouragement for it, but like many fic ideas, it’s fallen to the backburner. 

Your ask has renewed my interest in it… and maybe I’ll try to actually write it. Thank you for that!

^All of which also applies to the tattoo thing, too! We’ll see what Louis says in his answer about it.

Oh

All sports are gay and I’ve been preaching this forever

fun fact: the media keeps trying to imply that diego costa (white jersey) bit gareth barry (blue jersey) out of some sort of hetero football-rage during the game but barry insists it wasn’t a bite which is apparently a hard concept for the football association to grasp cause they cant think of any other explaination for the above image lmao

That ain’t no bite

I think my favorite part of this gif is the third guy walking by in the background, who judging by his expression is pretty sure he’s just won the league-wide betting pool on when these dudes will finally break down and admit their love.

@eatingcroutons

@zooeyscigar that gentle nibble reminded me of you.

[X] ^Also on this VC casting note, some ppl have suggested Paul Boche as Lestat and I have resisted it, but seeing him w/ Miles McMillan here, it’s very Louis & Lestat, oui?They look like they have really good chemistry and that matters more to me than looks alone w/ acting *u*

image

So I normally don’t play the casting game, but I just watched the first two episodes of Will on TNT — a glam/punk telling of Shakespeare’s early career — and Christopher Marlow is so VERY Lestat to me. I don’t know if you’ve seen it, and maybe it’s just me, but wow. The actor is Jamie Campbell Bower. I’d send you a link but it won’t let me.

FIRST and foremost, one of the Lestat RPers who still uses JCB as a face claim, @cdf-archive​ (now known as @couer-de-feu, tumblr isn’t hyperlinking it OH WELL) wrote up a gr9 post about JCB as Lestat [X], excerpt under the cut.  

I feel ya, I find that playing the casting game is hard bc ppl can be really dismissive of actors, pointing out what they think are physical limitations of the actors, or whatever, it’s easy to nitpick based on our own ideals of beauty.

A great performance is more than just the actor’s looks, it’s the harmony of every film crew member’s job done well, from the grips, to the sound ppl, to the costume ppl, to the director, and so on, not just the actors. But talking VC casting can be fun to see which of our choices are shared by others ❤ 

So YEAH, JCB was a somewhat popular FC for Lestat RPers at one time, so your opinion is/was shared by others! I’m gonna reblog a few pieces of fanart after I post this that are basically JCB as Lestat, so stay tuned 😉 EDIT: I have fanart of Paul Boche as Lestat, not JCB! I’ll reblog those. But can someone send me some Lestat fanart based on JCB? I feel like I’ve seen it but can’t remember where…

image

^I don’t have a joke to go with this, I’d made it

aaaages ago

for @coeur-de-feu. Maybe it’s Lestat reacting to coming home to a Louis dressed only in a sheer green scarf, surrounded by piles of red roses, for Lestat’s birthday or smtg, lol. 

I haven’t seen Will yet but it looks like an intriguing and snazzy take on Shakespeare! Admittedly, I have not been a huge fan of Jamie Campbell Bower, bc I haven’t seen the stuff he’s been in, I’m not a YA fan… from the pics I’ve seen of JCB he has seemed too skinny/bony for my own headcanon of Lestat (and I admit that’s based on my own ideals of beauty)-

BUT BUT BUT, these pics of him from Will are looking, actually, very #Lestatuesque to me!

image

^Like, maybe it’s the hair*, the lighting, the expression, etc., (a combination probably) idk what it is, but his face seems less HELLO CHEEKBONE now for some reason? He’s very Lestat here, to me. Like he’s in thrall, listening to Nicki playing violin music. 

*The hair would need SOME more styling and highlights but JCB being a natural blond (I think?) should make it easier to brighten his hair up than it was for Tom, who has never been able to pull off a really bright blond in any movie I can remember (even the silver looked kinda strange in Collateral but I digress…)

image

[^X from @foreverjamiecampbellbower] ^Even here, yes, JCB has cheekbones you could slice your hand open on, but maybe the stubble is also just, giving that jawline and generous mouth the attention they deserve? IDK it’s working for me!

I think JCB has enough of the physical part nailed down that the rest can be built on his performance. Tom had limitations appearance-wise, too, but the acting won ppl over who don’t even like him in any other roles. 

This is already a long-ish post so for more of my thoughts on him, hit up my #jamie campbell bower tag.

Also, hit the jump for a quote from @cdf-archive/@coeur-de-feu that I think is relevant here.

The fact is, we all have our own ideals of beauty and our own headcanon of these characters. It’s highly unlikely that one actor will satisfy all of our expectations, and @cdf-archive wrote up a great post about JCB as Lestat [X], excerpt below:

“There will always be inconsistencies, everywhere you look. But it’s not really even whether or not I find him perfect. It’s his imperfections that make him perfect, to me. And perhaps that’s what Magnus found in Lestat – his imperfections gave him an indescribable yet authentic beauty and Magnus wanted to immortalize those features by turning Lestat into a vampire, even though Lestat did not want it. It was okay with Magnus that Lestat had a few things here and there that weren’t completely perfect; he found him extraordinarily beautiful, regardless.”
