♛*pats anon* Aren’t you the curious little thing? My my my…
Threesomes with Louis? I’ve asked before and I’ll keep asking.
Open relationships? Many vampires have them. Louis and I do.
Actor instead of rock star? Darling, I’m both. Always.
Tag Archives: gif
How does Louis feel about people touching his beautiful, sexy, long hair? If a random stranger just randomly touched his hair what would he do?
He doesn’t like it.
There were some other reasons for killing this unauthorized hair-toucher, but anyway…
He loves it when ppl he loves touch his hair, tho. Strangers, not so much.
Interview with the Vampire + The Song of Achilles
this makes my heart hurt with all the feels
“As watchably awful as the 2004 movie is, the rabbit hole goes deeper still, as we reach the coup de grâce of this whole shitshow…”
I’m super excited about the VC tv series (even though I truly adore the movies; it’s one of my favorite films.) do you have any dream casts for the series?
I am super excited and cautiously optimistic and ambivalent and detached, in waves. BC we’ve waited a looooong time for a new adaptation, I’m not gonna stay set on “super excited” mode until we see news that it’s filming PREMIERING!
That said… I did a big ideal cast post here*, and I stand by it, even now. Here’s just the de Lioncourts bc TVL is supposedly happening first and they’re major characters in it.
There are alot more options in the #VC casting tag, if you have some time to kill!
*And I know these ppl may not be available but they’re close to my headcanon, so picking someone like them would be gr9 as far as I’m concerned ;D
^Lestat de Lioncourt: Brett Scallions from Fuel, circa the 90′s.
^Gabrielle de Lioncourt: Grace Kelly, (gif is from The Swan, 1956)
^Marquis Valère de Lioncourt: Timothy Omundson, 2016. But now I’ve seen him in Galavant and he is so adorbz! I might like him too much.
ahhahh I nearly died watching the iwtv bts video. That was pure gold omg. Tom cruise upset that brad pitt is taller than him and wanting risers. Brad pitt just leaning there like “where did I go wrong” and anne’s cringey 90’s look all made me laugh so hard.
That BTS video is a new fandom treasure and like, back in the 90′s, Tom’s publicist Pat Kingsley would have tracked the source down and made them delete it. ;A; * I love that we’re getting stuff out of private collections now!
^I think this is one of my fave shots of Brad “where did I go wrong” Pitt from that movie… which is why it was so great to see him go from that to this BAMF later in the movie:
^YISSSS PLZ
^Height issues aside (and yeah I’m sure that was an issue!), here’s my take Tom Cruise’s eyebrow concerns. The lighting is different but you can still tell the difference in his makeup/hair. On the left is a still from an earlier scene that was shot and probably had to be discarded bc the blond was too bright, orangey, weirdly smooth (I think they were going for “pampered” and “golden”). Looks like they changed it to highlights and lowlights of blond and a mussier texture to mesh better with Tom’s own coloring. So he had good reason to be concerned about his eyebrows, he probably didn’t want more footage to be wasted.
^anne’s cringey 90’s look: Hey that was in style then bc BELIEVE ME I LIVED IT! But yeah she looks a lot better these days, current 90′s-inspired looks are very different from some of the actual 90′s looks.
*Even though it wasn’t an interview specifically, it was unauthorized bts footage.
Amy Nicholson, How YouTube and the Internet Killed Tom Cruise, America’s Last Movie Star.:
“Kingsley was adamant about keeping Cruise out of the tabloids. At press junkets, she demanded that journalists sign contracts swearing not to sell their quotes to the supermarket rags. Then Kingsley expanded her reach and insisted that all TV interviewers destroy their tapes after his segment had aired.”
Has Anne ever said anything about writing out Magnus’ story? He’s one of my favorites, but I cant remember if this question was ever raised.
Wow, bold of you to consider him as a favorite! I’m rarely asked about Magnus. If I might ask, why is he one of your faves? He is like the ultimate Your Fave is Problematic bc of the way he was first introduced in canon, forcing Lestat into vampirism and all that. Lestat pretty much forgives him at this point, having tried going back to mortality and been very unhappy with it, you could say Lestat finally got to make the choice he didn’t have originally well, *sigh* a whole essay could be written about Lestat and choosing to vampire.
Magnus tells his story in Prince Lestat! That he was a great Parisian alchemist. It’s glossed over fairly quickly, there could be more to Magnus. He was in Prince Lestat and the Realms of Atlantis, we’ll probably see more of him.
There was a Magnus RPer, gone inactive now, but you might find good stuff in their archive, might reach out to any active RPers you find there: @theycallmemagnus.
Ok so this has been bugging me for a while so I thought I’d get someone else’s opinion. What kinda accent is Armand supposed to have?
In movie!IWTV, Armand’s origins aren’t explicitly stated, just that he’s an Old World vampire. He could very well be Spanish, that’s Banderas’ actual ethnicity. So we don’t know. Just bc Louis and Claudia meet him in Paris doesn’t mean he’s French; he tells them he’s 400 yrs old, he’s probably lived elsewhere.
On my recent post about Antonio!Armand, @slow-read shared this opinion: “I would like to add that Antonio’s accent also gives one a sense of age, otherness and it sounds (or sounded) exotic to the audience? It was perfect for Armand-the-oldest-living-vampire-in-the-world. *-*” The
ppl behind movie!IWTV might have chosen Banderas and made the character this way rather than a more canon-compliant actor bc they wanted him to be more convincing as
Armand-the-oldest-living-vampire-in-the-world to audiences who had not read the books. Filmmakers then (and now) want a movie to appeal to wide audiences. I was a kid then, but it seems to me that fandom (and specifically, trying to please the fanbase as a primary objective) wasn’t as much of a consideration at that time.
In the books, Armand comes from a place called Kiev, which according to AR is in Russia and according to the google is in the Ukraine, but idk. Then he spent years in Italy which is where he got most of his mortal education, so he may have picked up some of that accent from his teachers and friends… and then he lived in Paris for many years so he might have consciously tried to pick up some of that accent in order to blend in.
Anyone is welcome to answer this with what you think Armand’s accent is like!
Ableism!anon here! Thanks so much for your reply, it was very very helpful, and so sweet, I really appreciate it! Also, ♛lestat, I appreciate your response as well, and I understand that you have a particular schedule to keep! I hope my hugging you wasn’t untoward (and that none of your gorgeous clothes were rumpled or anything!) Merci!
[Anon refers to this reply]
♛*hugs anon* Darling, not to worry at all, I can handle a little clothes-rumpling. I destroy most of my clothes anyway, sadly, it’s part of the job *winks*
Be strong, ma petite. Remember to hug yourself, too. Sometimes we have to be our own head cheerleaders.
//ooc; Thanks for coming back and telling us this,
Ableism!anon! It was a difficult topic to address and I’m really glad Lestat and I were able to help you.
If you have to remind yourself every day, then do it: F*ck the haters.
I love you
The feels, they are mutual, I’m sure!
I almost didn’t answer this bc I feel like ppl are going to think that I sent it to myself, so if you wouldn’t mind, anon, plz do come back and message me privately off-anon, or send another message telling me what u love about me so that this looks less like I sent it to myself!
