Coffee shop AUs redefine escapism from wild fantasies about dragons and space travel to the comforting ideal of having a steady job and supportive relationships.
For a generation who came of age during the Great Recession, living in a time of constant political trauma, it’s not hard to understand the appeal.
I will add more characters when…I actually start drawing them and have an idea of how I imagine their colors. This is the color pallet I imagined for the boys (and kind of how their hands look, but not exactly)
♫Put that thing back where it came from or so help me… so help me, so help me♫ – and CUT. We’re still working on it… it’s a work in progress but, hey, we need ushers!
Hello @veridian-stealth, thanks for being a long time follower! I admit I haven’t absorbed enough of canon sufficient to say I’m the most knowledgeable source, but I do what I can ^______^
I love the idea of your starting & ending high school drama club
with a VC quote, good closure there. Which did you start with?
I skimmed the first 2 books, and this is already a long post with only putting 5 in, bc these are the ones that jumped out at me. They’re small windows into evocative scenes. Things that I can see an actor giving to an audience, pieces that might be able to stand on their own apart from the rest of the fabric of VC.
TBH I can’t remember many monologues that really stood out for me in the rest of canon, but anyone is welcome to reblog/comment and add ones that they would suggest to you 😉 Let us know which you pick, share a video even!
No cuts bc I don’t think this is spoilery.
In order of canon appearance:
-> IWTV:
1) Louis talks about Paul and his death. I edited it down somewhat and took out Daniel’s dialogue but you should probably do it better than I did.
2) Lestat’s “Evil is a point of view” monologue, that would take a lot of editing, but if you want to take a stab at it, go for it! But keep in mind, the last bit is recognizable from movie!IWTV, and ppl will probably compare your performance to Cruise!Lestat. I also don’t think it ends on the best line, so yeah… with edits it could work and be vampiry. I’ve always loved this first para to it.
3) Armand re: inflexible minded vampires. This is really short but I’ve always loved this passage (BTW there’s a bunch of typos in my PDF of this, so you’ll have to check with a better copy).
-> TVL:
4) Lestat’s mercy kill, this might be my fave of these. You might want to give a little context, maybe add more about when he got back home and his brother accused him of making it up.
(Short haired Brat Prince! Read a soft, sweet fanfic a while ago where he had cut his hair short and goodness I loved that idea. Wish I could find the fanfic again. It was… fiiiine.)
