♛Silk boxers, usually, in bright colors and wine red. Briefs, among certain company, too. Neutrals, black, grays, pastels. They can emphasize the natural features in a very appealing way. I like the feel of taut cotton. I like the sound it makes when it’s ripped. Some nights, I prefer nothing at all.
…And who says lingerie isn’t an option? Because it very much is.
(Happy Birthday, Anon!)
//ooc; Louis is 85% of Lestat’s birth impulse* control.
*Edited bc of @theraphaellus‘s comment!
FYI, to the anon who recently asked me about the existence of certain gifs…. of a specific scene in IWTV, yes, there are a few out there, but I think I would prefer to make new ones of my own choosing so consider your request filed and accepted, and it will be done in due time…

Hello! I’m flattered that you think so, but I don’t have behind-the-scenes access on the VC TV series, much as I’d like to have it! But I try to be the person who would know at least something about it. I can’t be watching for the news 24/7 so I rely on ppl to shoot links at me of posts from the Official VC FB page, tweets from Anne or Christopher Rice, news articles, etc., something that seems relevant and not just teasing! They do alot of teasing. VC casting crowdsourcing requests.
There was a video posted to the OVCFB (this one from 5/4/17, I think? I can’t watch it now) where AR discussed the state of things, @firelight-fading was good enough to make a recap of the pertinent points!
The most recent thing, which I didn’t post about, oddly, I’ll make a post for it after this, is that the Rices met with Bryan Fuller about the project. He’s been a VC fan for a looooong time:
Was so enamored with Anne Rice’s Interview With a Vampire that, at age 15, he tracked down her phone number and called her, asking to do the screenplay adaptation. When she informed him that producer Julia Phillips owned the rights to the novel, he then called her; she was kind, but firm, in rebuffing him.
Chris gave him homemade shortbread cookies when they met. We all know Bryan’s chomping at the bit for Hannibal, but maybe he can hook the Rices up with someone who’s as passionate about VC as he is, or he can serve in some kind of advisory role? Idk!
OTHER THAN ALL THAT… Currently, to my knowledge, there’s no *new* news. Check my #VC News tag to see some of the past news, and watch the tag for any updates!
AR did post this yesterday (9/19/17), nothing concrete, just that it’s still in the works:
YES, I loooooved OLLA! Definitely one of my faves.
So many questions about those characters! I want the backstory on all of them. How are they turned? When was Eve turned? She seems to have some kind of touch-telepathy with materials, like a druid? How did Ava get turned, is she older than Adam? WHAT HAPPENED IN PARIS 87 YRS AGO? Some bad shit went down in Paris for our faves, too.
(From what I understand, based on my behind-the-scenes knowledge (I know a dude who is good friends with the director, Jim Jarmusch) much of what does happen in OLLA is based on real things that happened in the director’s life, specifically, experiences with an ex (in the movie, represented by Ava).)
It’s almost the VC movie we’ve deserved for a long time and I loved it! Like a documentary or a diary entry, almost. It’s humorous, sensuous, clever, dramatic, all built on a strong foundation of the characters’ chemistry w/ each other. It offers its own take on some of the vampire mythology (they don’t have reflections in mirrors, they are susceptible to blood diseases). Not alot actually HAPPENS, plot-wise, but it doesn’t need to. We’re getting a slice of life of these characters. It’s mostly a collection of charming subtle moments, like Adam trying Eve’s new “cuisine” for the first time:
^Yes, this moment has a sexiness to it *drool* but more than that, he is almost childlike in both his resistance to *~and his curiosity about~* this New Thing bc he won’t let Eve know she can improve his mood so easily bc Adam is a SERYUS Brooding Musician ffs.
Btw, there is/was an Adam RPer, @wastefulselfobsession. You might check out their archive for more OLLA. They have character backstories!
So Adam is something of a Louis/Nicolas hybrid, being the bookworm musician who lives in a shambles and doesn’t care for fashion (or conditioner apparently). Like Louis, he doesn’t want to go around hunting the Evildoer. I can’t help but make a few more little comparisons to IWTV…
^Frickin’ house rules, ppl!!! Hot dad is angry.
^Claudia and Ava are SOOO sorry. Like really. So apologetic. They’ll never do it again, seriously. They are voracious little monsters, aren’t they?
^Little sisters to big bro/sis/makers: “We are going to have S O M U C H fun”
More comparisons could be made but I like ppl to think I am just a casual fan and not a corkboard maniac that’s alls I got for now.
//ooc; I’ve thought about this for awhile now, it’s been almost a month 😛 and I think it’s a little unfair of my Lestat to answer, bc he’s clearly going to like what I like, to some extent! And my taste is fairly limited bc I don’t keep up with what’s popular, I tend to wait out the hype and then discover things on my own 5-10 years later, and then I’ll go, “Have you heard Crazy by Gnarls Barkley?? It’s mah jam :DDD” And my best friend will pat me on the shoulder and go “Honey that was 11 yrs ago.” *laughcries*
[X] With @roselioncourt‘s help on our REAL LIFE visit last wknd, we made a rough list of bands/artists we think Lestat would love, and I’ll reblog this post with that list, as I don’t have it with me rn, but basically, I think he’s very into the performance aspect of it, the stage presence, and he’s into pop culture, he’d probably keep up with the current music scene, the top 100, what albums are selling, etc. He also likes to do covers of his fave songs and make variations to “improve” them ;D
In the meantime, you can check out my #music lestat motorcycles to tag.
Hello again, Mael anon! I’ll have to keep thinking on this one, I’m sorry to say he’s not a character I’ve given a lot of thought to and I don’t want to write anything that might be untrue to the character just to get an answer out 😛
[^X can we has Brock O’Hurn as Mael tho? mmmmmm….][Idk what he looks like in your mind, Anon, but I see him as big like this, would love it if he had some beard scruff – I don’t remember if he has one in canon – I see fanart of Thor that makes me think of Mael, too]
There is another Mael RPer I just saw on my dash recently, tho! @sughlanu-cridh. That mun is probably who you should go to for Mael headcanons ^u^
I’ll try to come up with something but… lemme kick this out to the group, so you don’t have to wait as long… Hey tumblr fandom, any Mael headcanons and actual canons for anon?
I don’t remember that part, but I definitely saw the movie… hmmm… maybe I blocked it out? But how did the babies even grow in the vampire mother’s wombs? Very strange.
Here’s an article on this… which I’ll leave here, and not read, bc I’m not really wild about this topic at this time, but if you are, go for it! I bet there were a ton of articles like this bc of Breaking Dawn.
Vampire-Human Offspring of Folklore Offer Insights into the Hybrid Baby of ‘Breaking Dawn’
I don’t do Instagram so idk 😛 Anyone out there have an answer for Anon?
(I parked my url over there as iwantmyiwtv and I plan to actually use it at some point… so’s I can put trip pics, photography, my face,
that kinda thing, for ppl who don’t want that stuff on their dashboard)
