After seeing your lovely drawing of lestat and louis I just had to watch the film and well it was amazing and I’m reading the books now, so thank you for helping me discover something awesome!

flurgburgler:

This is best!!! I’m so glad you liked it! The whole book series is straight up fabulous, and Anne Rice who writes them is such a sassy lady! Yikes I’m just so excited because I literally haven’t fan-girled over the Vampire Chronicles for YEARS.

Can someone make Garrett Borns a vampire? Please? He’s so beautiful, and has the voice of an angel. I think he’d make a gorgeous Louis.

#VC casting #YES

@annabellioncourt pointed this out to me and I have to agree that he’d make a a great vampire, and specifically, a gorgeous Louis

♥u♥ 

Also, as a side note, he’s 24 yrs old in 2016, so we’d have an actor playing really close to the canon age of the character!!! which is always good, bc he’s actually living that point in his life now, might be a little more authentic than reflecting back on it. 

So he’s a singer and a model, and I looked up a few vids and couldn’t choose just one as an example. You can do the youtube and check him out there, but here’s a few things I had thoughts on:

[X] ^LOOKIT THIS SMILE. He has dimples which I think is a huge plus. Louis is, in fact, capable of smiling. I imagine Lestat made him wear the shades bc of reasons. 

Lestat: “Oh, big Beatles fan? You like John Lennon so very much? Why don’t you wear shades like his, here- ” 

Louis: “Those are more ELTON John than John Lennon, Lestat.” 

Lestat: “Put them on or I’ll put them on for you.”

^His little smile, in this dreamy lighting, he’s got that ethereal quality we require in a Louis.

image

^”Oh god Lestat, what fresh hell have you caused?” He’s got the right build, too, that muscular but spare body. 

Hit the jump for a fewww moar.

^”That sounds awful deal with it YOURSELF” Louis is actually COLD AS ICE.

^Someone is gonna get yelled at for unauthorized haircut.

^Nobody ships Louis/Madeleine except Madeleine.

Thank you so much! (I was the theme anon), I always try to remember that what I read and watch is fictional (I’ve always been a very over-empathetic person and issues like child exploitation hits hard). I’ll still continue to read the series, iwtv was so beautiful written, just wanted some clarification :) thanks!

Glad that response clarified things and that you’re sticking with it. I really appreciate your followup message!

Just because you read something doesn’t mean you endorse it. When things get too squicky for me, I “eat around” them, like you’d eat around the bruised areas of a banana. A whole banana is not ruined by a few bruises for me, but I can understand and I don’t judge if it ruins it for others.
