@i-want-my-iwtv he could play Louis and Lestat.
omg u are right…
(Lestat’s secret weapon: touching his own hair even if its dirty or dyed it has a huge impact on Louis)
The Vampire Lestat, hastily shuffling about in his fuzzy slippers: Why don’t you take me seriously, Louis?
I did a thing on my dash. Fate knows me too well.
#How to make a post a VC post #by proximity
I never asked for power…
Travis Fimmel was once a big VC fandom choice for playing Lestat, and this gifset reminded me why. Look at all that menace and delight all wrapped up together! And he looks great spattered with blood. Really brings out his eyes.
“You little bastard, ” he said coldly. “You didn’t kill eight wolves! ”
His face had an ugly disgusted look to it. But the remarkable thing wasthis: Almost as soon as he spoke these words, he realized for some
reason that he had made a mistake. Maybe it was the look on my face.
Maybe it was my mother’s murmured outrage or my other brother not
speaking at all. It was probably my face. – The Vampire Lestat
Also he gets an axe accessory in Prince Lestat, so there’s that, too! Would probably be about that size bc he can wear it inside his coat inconspicuously.
To the anon: David Talbot/The Body Thief whose name I can’t remember now are described as anglo indian with caramel skin.
Yes, there are definitely more VoC (vampires of color!) in VC, I only made an example of one, so as not to spoil that anon too much, as they are just starting the series 😉
Decided to compile more facts here about David’s appearance for future reference, bolded mentions of his skin.
In
Tale of the Body Thief, David describes him:
“ ‘Mother an Anglo-Indian, which may
explain the exceptionally beautiful complexion you’re describing, and which I can see here plainly enough.
Father a London cabbie who died in jail.’ “
Lestat describes him AT LENGTH in TOBT so I just picked a few relevant bits:
“…thick, wavy brown hair.” … “…brown eyes and smooth youthful mouth.”
“The thick glossy hair, the
uncommonly smooth and satin like skin. The exceptional beauty.”“He was a little taller than I am, six feet two, I
figured, and he was extremely well built, as I’d seen before. I’d been right about the age. The body couldn’t
have been more than twenty-five years old.”“… The fabric of the
turtleneck shirt showed his muscles to great advantage, and the clean white cotton made his skin seem all
the more richly colored, almost a dark golden brown.”“… Indeed, late adolescence had only just completed itself in this young male form, though I hadn’t
thought about it before. It was in every sense only just finished, like a coin with the first clear impression
stamped upon it and not a single tiny scratch of true wear.”
I think Louis’ long hair is amazingly beautiful and it makes him look super sexy. Does he ever let you brush it Lestat?
♛*stretches out on the couch* How I’ve missed answering questions for you darlings. Been nearly a month. Louis and I have been off the grid.
We’re back now, for the time being. He’s sitting beside me now rolling his eyes at your comment, but I’m defending you! His hair is absolutely – positively – amazingly beautiful, although not as gorgeous as mine, of course. Mine is more of an experience than a simple physical material.
You know, now that I’m reflecting on it, his hair looks most sexy when it’s wet, either damp from the misty rain we get in New Orleans, or when it’s made almost liquid in some secluded pool rigged with lighting under the surface. He likes to swim under water, and when his head rises above the surface, the way his hair sweeps forward around his neck… it’s almost as if it moves under his command, as part of his own personal brand of witchcraft. Very sexy when it’s sticking in vein-shapes to his flesh from bloodsweat… *flicks at his fang* Now you’ve got me drooling. How embarrassing…
*Adjusts position, wipes at his chin, composes himself* Of course he lets me brush his hair! Louis prefers a wide-toothed comb or finger-combing. He dislikes the chemical fragrances of your usual modern haircare products, but every so often I earn the reward of sharing a steaming hot bath in which I am permitted to lather his hair up with organic shampoo and conditioner. Lately, he prefers these almond or mint scented.
I tend not to brush my hair often, as it separates the twists, but I do love to have it pulled when we are engaged in that special kind of heated debate… And fortunately for me, he loves to pull it.
