|| I will take Antonio over creepy cherub guy trying way too hard to be 17 but looks 40 any day. I just pretend Antonio is Santino fucking with you.

I like the idea that it’s Santino fucking with us, hahaha.

I have such nostalgia for Antonio!Armand. Antonio doesn’t deserve the hate he gets for Armand, he did a great job, and brought a dark European hawtness to it. Check out my #Defending Antonio tag for legitimate ideas defending his casting.

In essence: if they had cast a cherubic teenage redhead (or older creepy cherub dude trying to look 17 *cough cough* movie!QotD *cough*) it might have been confusing to people who hadn’t read the books, and might have taken the sympathy away from Louis (who was supposed to remain the focus, it’s HIS story, after all). That would have been compromised by omg cute little redhead bby we want to snuggles you! <– If the person at least had the right appearance.

Let’s say it was an appeal to those who hadn’t read the book(s) … casting an Armand that they could understand more easily as being a more mature/father/teacher figure for Louis.

vcsecretgifts:

This is your reminder that sign ups for the 2015 VC Secret Rose Gift Exchange are closing May 8th!

A few things that were added to the rules page since the last exchange:

We’re not going to demand you do it, but if you would pretty please open your submit box the day we send out assignment (May 9), it would be really, really nice of you. It’s so much easier for us to send them via the submit box, and the submit box is generally more reliable than ask boxes.

Please confirm you received your assignment. (This will be mentioned again in the assignment message, if you forget.)

Try to be creative with your prompts! It’ll help the person gifting to you if you throw a few ideas at them. “Louis, Lestat, and Claudia doing some fun things when she was still a kid, maybe involving flowers and spring,” tends to be more helpful than just “something with Louis, Lestat, and Claudia.”

Feel free to reblog this around, even if you can’t participate! All of the fanworks that come from these gift exchanges are truly a gift to the whole fandom.

We can’t operate an exchange without participants!

the ending of IWTV; her script (she wrote the rest of the screenplay) ended the same way the book did, with Daniel running off to find Lestat; Neil Jordan, the director, thought it was a bit too grim and wanted to end on a more upbeat note, and late into production added the glorious end scene with the return of Lestat and the G&R cover of Sympathy for the Devil. I (for once) side with Mr. Jordan here. The ending is beautiful.

Wow, really?! I didn’t know that! Thank you so much. Neil Jordan. That’s a rare case where I like the movie ending better than the book’s! (Sympathy for the Devil was an absolutely brilliant choice, too. I don’t understand how that ending went so well and Queen of the Damned went so horrifically wrong. OY.)
