I don’t have an opinion on any of these, could work! She seems a little young to play Gabrielle, but it could work.
I remember that @gingerhairedimmortal-archived, an Armand RPer, had used Caleb Landry Jones as a face claim, so you might want to check out their archive for more on that.
@gingerhairedimmortal-archived used Caleb Landry Jones as a face claim. I agree w/ the age thing, he definitely could pass for 16, IMO.
There’s a sweetness to him, he’s got some charm.
Can he be bad ass enough? Idk, I haven’t seen him in much. Only Byzantium, which I really did not like, which wasn’t his fault. He wasn’t very remarkable in that movie to me.
This is one of those ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder’ things, I can’t quite articulate why he doesn’t come near my headcanon for Armand, but hey, he could be a fantastic actor. You’re not the only one who’s suggested him, so I’d screentest him, if it were up to me ;]
oh lestat, you deserved everything that’s ever happened to you. you better not die. You might actually go to HELL.
I’ve been trying to find a way to put these thoughts into words (words that will not bring my favourite hate anon back with a vengeance) since i-want-my-iwtv mentioned this earlier today. However, I suppose I will take the chance because fuck it, I’m going on hiatus tomorrow anyway.
tl;dr – I think if Armand was convinced that this was something Claudia truly wanted (and let’s be honest, with his Mind Gift, it wouldn’t be hard for him to determine) then he would have no problems going forward with this relationship. He sees Claudia mostly as the woman she is inside her mind and less as the child she is in body only. While the relationship presents some challenges, I think it is possible and have no problems roleplaying it as such.
For the record:
This was very well-put, thank you for sharing!
[More of gingerhairedimmortal‘s post under the cut.]
It is true that my Armand is pursuing a romantic, and hence possible sexual relationship, with a Claudia. She has been aged up in that thread to avoid the usual legal and moral implications that would be involved with a five year old appearing body involved with a seventeen year old appearing one. However, with the way the characters are, I would not have shied away from a relationship with a canon Claudia for them either (only used fade to black because while Armand may not have issues with it, I sort of squick at writing that).
However, the big issue for me is that while Claudia may LOOK like a child, she isn’t. Armand, a character who is the most cerebral of the coven. He knows what is going on in everyone’s mind and will occasionally alter it to his own liking. Because of this, my headcanon is that outward appearance means little to him. He sees people the way they see themselves. So when he looks at Claudia, he sees the adult woman she truly is and not the body she is trapped in.
That does not mean to say that he is completely oblivious to the implications of a relationship with her. It would not be possible for the two of them to be romantic in public, risking mortals making a scene. Even the coven (particularly Louis I would think) would raise a fuss at the two of them together. These would be of concern but in the end would not sway them necessarily.
Most of all, for Armand, who was kidnapped to be used for sexual pleasure at a young age, he would be most concerned with making sure this was what SHE wanted. Armand is portrayed over and over as selfish but I believe that he has a soft spot for victims of human trafficking and sex crimes. It is one of the reasons I disregard anything past him meeting the sun in his canon because the whole story line with Benji and Sybelle is so far from my understanding of the character that I can’t believe it to be the same Armand.
But I digress.
I hear birthday greetings are in order.
I have no skill as an artist or singer so here is a gif of Armand singing. I’m pretty sure it is Happy Birthday. I can’t imagine it would be anything else.
Awwww I love being serenaded by a lovely ginger-haired immortal!
Awww thanks bb! I enjoy your RP, keep up the good work *u*
My definition of romance may be slightly skewed compared to most mortals. I have no need for material possessions. Romantic dinners are lost on me. Flowers wither and die before my eyes. Candles and fires are better for sex and death than romance. For something to be romantic in my eyes, it has to be spectacular. It has to be amazing. It has to be paradigm shifting.
For me, that moment occurred one night not long after I had told Daniel of my love for him. I had not lied; I did love him as a vampire can love a mortal. I thought it might be a fleeting infatuation, one that would fade as he faded in front of me. I knew what he wanted from me, that the blood and immortality was what he sought more than companionship. Yet I loved him, I followed him around the world, completely fascinated by the way he saw things and how he navigated this modern world which confounded me still, yet ever expectant of his impending death.
I was sitting on the sofa, staring at nothing and utterly still as vampires could be. We had yet another fight about him wishing for me to turn him and my absolute refusal to do so. He was still in the house – his heartbeat sounded strong and true nearby – but I had blocked my mind from his, not wanting to hear his angry thoughts about me. I do not know how much time had passed but it must have been significant because the sky was starting to lighten when I felt him climb into my lap. You must understand that my Daniel is a tall man, to situate himself in such a way was awkward and uncomfortable for him. But he did so, bent at strange angles in order to fit our bodies together.
Automatically my hands came to his waist, holding him in place while I waited for the apology that almost always came following one of those fights. However, I did not hear those words. Instead, he brought his neck in front of my throat. “Daniel,” I growled lightly, wondering what he was thinking to put himself in such a position. That I would lose my resolve and give him what he wanted?
“Drink,” he offered, his voice sounding hollow and broken. “If my life and mortality means so much to you, take it all. I have belonged to you since the night in New Orleans. If you will not make me one of you, take everything you can and carry my memories with you forever.”
The most romantic gesture anyone has ever done for me? My Daniel, my lovely Daniel, offering me his entire life, everything that he was and would ever be. A man who wished for nothing more than to live forever, offered his life at my lips. I do not know if he meant it as a romantic gesture but I took it as such. That was the night my love for him shifted to something more, the night I realized that losing him was not an option I was willing to entertain, even if I was not yet strong enough to bring him over. The night he truly became my lover, my beloved, as I was already his.
Wow.
Um.
Thanks.
Like I needed that.
Fuck this site. Seriously.
I’m going to fucking rip this gray face apart with my teeth. No, I’m just gonna fjskakfjf I’m pissed, i can’t even decided how i want to hurt them first.
This is not okay, to send anyone hate and to lie so ridiculously.The amount of canon that you rp with doesn’t define your quality! There is no definition for quality, but if there was, you would be it.
I love your Armand, and i agree with How you play him. The bratty bit is over done, and frankly no fun. You are wanted. I want you here, you make my day and i would be crushed if you left tumblr. There are drafts i haven’t answered in like a week or so, but yours are at the top of my list even though it’s nit even been a day because i enjoy yours the most. You are a fantastic writer. You have a fantastic grasp on your muse, you are wonderful you are loved and this little bitch took time out of their day to send you hate. They are jealous, in fact, i bet they want to rp with you but somehow can’t and want to make you feel bad because they are a little bitch
Fuck them
Fuck them with a god damn poisonous cactus right in the ass.Sorry for all the bad words, but i don’t take too kindly to people hurting my friends.
And another awesome person I adore to pieces. Thank you!

This is not okay, to send anyone hate. PERIOD.
Life is too short, and we are here to have fun and share fandom love. Do you dislike the portrayal of a character? Fine. Don’t follow that RP blog. Did they ask for your criticism? No? Then keep it to yourself.
If they asked for criticism, be constructive. Treat others how you would want to be treated.
In the words of Jack Nicholson in Mars Attacks: “Why can’t we all just – get along?”
I will not be brought into any drama. I will RP with anyone and everyone who wants to. However, if you try and bring me into drama, particularly when there wasn’t any prior to that, or if you lie about me in anyway, I will block you and be done with it.
I want to roleplay. I want to give Armand some happiness. I do not want any high school drama bull. I’ve been out of high school for nearly twenty years. I’m too old for that.
So be nice or leave me alone. That’s all I ask.
^I second this so much. Live and let live ppl. ☆*･゜ﾟ･*(◡‿◡｡)/*･゜ﾟ･*☆

yepviaticumforthemarquise replied to your post: do you think that, after so many books by the Coven of the Articulate, some Talamasca Members started shipping the vampires?
//100% yes. This is the beginning of half of their trouble. Just think, if you could meet your OTP, what might happen?
Just imagine 30 pages of elaborate essays on why one pairing is more canon than another with hundreds of references throughout the different books
//OMG No stop, that’s hilarious. Because I’m pretty sure you are correct. They probably have whole sections of the vampire division dedicated to all of this. Long charts of who has fucked who over the centuries…
SPOILER: all lines just lead to Lestat.

^True facts.
And how psyched was David to get added to that tracking document?! He would never admit to it but you know, deep down, he fangirled over himself/Lestat. At some point. Probably.
While Armand has his own copy and sits glaring at the fact that the only line that does NOT lead to Lestat is his own.
What does he need to do for the Brat Prince to fuck him as well?
