Not weird at all, awwww thank u! Such feels, much appreciate. Comments like yours fuel this blog. Ppl may not think so but I do crave appreciate that encouragement now and again, when I begin to feel like I should have moved on to another fandom long ago…
It’s too late for me though, I CANNOT MOVE ON. This is where I have laid my affections. We are a godforsaken fandom… from the fanfic wars to the questionable canon, but still lovable dysfunctional vampires (the main one being a gorgeous blond hamburger-brained suicidal moron), there’s a reason we call it the Vampire Crackicles.
“I’d like to meet the devil some night,” he said once with a malignant smile. “I’d chase him from here to the wilds of the Pacific. I am the devil.” And when I was aghast at this, he went into peals of laughter.

Thanks! *u* You want my opinion on cosplay? Hmmmm *cracks knuckles*
Cosplay, for me, isn’t just about the looks, it’s also in the attitude. So if someone’s eyes aren’t the shade as described in the book it’s not a dealbreaker. I think I prefer silly/parody cosplays because it’s so hard to achieve the serious dramatic quality one gets with the added $$$, experienced professionals of cinematography, costume design, lighting, etc., that the film industry relies on when making films. When you aim for silly/parody, it’s truly more about the performance than the physical look.
That said, here’s an example I like of everyman as Lestat:
I think it works! Looking at his other pics, he’s really gone to great lengths to recreate scenes/relationships, and he’s got good Lestatuesque body language and attitude.
As for the Louis, yeah, in most of the pics he seems #ooc, but I think ^this expression is excellent! He’s got the “Lestat omfg STOP” just under his dignified veneer. Nice sharp French features, great outfit, looks like the right age. He could even work as Nicolas. If only this guy worked as well in his front angle as his profile *siiiigh*.
Melodysknight as Lestat gets massive points for also playing the IWTV pieces.
I have a cosplay tag if you want more, but for now (in no special order):
Aaaaand have a terrible Louis cosplay by Daniel Tosh, but I don’t think he was going for accuracy (had to include at least one more male cosplayer here, what can I say, female cosplayers just seem to do it better!):

Was the “talk to the hand” gesture that Louis gave Lestat around in the late 18th/early 19th century or was that just something that dates Interview with the Vampire as a true ‘90’s movie?
Louis invented that move.
ok yeah I think it was a 90s thing, but watch carefully, Louis does that move a number of times in the movie… it’s usually ineffective tho!
