ooc: ok but @obsessional-ram made me think about it for a second and i’m like…you know when u have super major cries where snot drips down ur nose??? replace snot with blood for ricean vampires.
“if you’re labouring under the misapprehension that lestat is cool allow me to correct you, lestat is not cool he is a whiny, needy little cry baby and i love him for it” [x]
^Draw this please. How do you know it was RJ, Lestat is Bitey McBiters, and doesn’t Lestat have a foot fetish already of sorts? at least a sort of anxiety about his own smol feetsies…
♛Have you been naughty enough for a garter belt? *wraps an arm around her waist to still her, and also to measure* Well, you’re right about the size. You have a very nice figure, Ram. Have you considered modeling? It’s fun.
Surely your maker has set you up financially and you can afford a garter belt. It’s something you have to go try on in different styles and colors. Tell you what, instead of simply buying you what I think you’d like, we can go shopping for it together. As long as you clear it with your significant other FIRST, of course. Are you with Antoine these nights? I confess I am completely unable to keep track of the romantic ties of our coven. It’s a huge pile of bisghetti spaghetti.
So, shopping. How does that sound? *nuzzles his nose to hers playfully*
♛ Darling Ram. My reaction is compassion. If you seek artistic inspiration, try my closet… or perhaps my concert pictures… Here’s an outfit I truly prize. Versace, Fall ‘13.
Some might call this a “fashion disaster,” others would say it’s “pushing the envelope.” Others may have other opinions, but I think it’s stunning in its combination of raw sexuality, femininity, humor, re-purposing of societal ideals in structural elements, and restrictions. It tells a bold and sensual story.
Fashion is the covering we choose for ourselves, our shimmering dream skins, since we are unable to grow our own protective fur coats, like the rugged and luxurious one of my beloved dog, Mojo. The fabrics, the styles, etc., tell a story as do the natural coverings of creatures in the savage garden:
Spikes and studs say, “beware; I have thorns.”
Gold says, “pursue me.”
Structure says, “I have a plan.”
Looseness, and distressed clothing, say, “I seek adventure.”
Silk, satin, and lace say “I am delicate. Handle with care.”
Nudity says, “my body is ready.”
So take care when you call someone a “fashion disaster.” In fact they may be still learning the language of storytelling through dress, they may not be able to afford to express themselves best, or they may prefer to keep their story mysterious. Louis certainly is an example of the latter *winks*
That’s the original purpose -and still a major one- of my blog: to be a collection of inspiration to the fanartists in making more yummy fanworks to feeeeed the VC addiction of all of us adorable fanged little trash kittens ❤
*Takes a deep breath* *Tries not to write a lot* *Writes a lot anyway*
I think it was both. Added for effect for the movie but also, their eye color IS enhanced with the Dark Gift. Here look at Louis’s pretty eyes change color:
First moments as a new vampire would be intense, Vampiring has just been installed into the system and director Neil Jordan probably wanted to make it very clear to the audience that this moment is as significant a moment as birth, and other than seeing the blood dry up and absorb into his face, and now we see the blue veins more prominently, it’s the eyes that really convince us that a change is happening. The eyes are the window to the soul!
In VC, it’s often noted explained at enormous length and exquisitely vivid detail how beautiful Louis’ emerald green eyes are *u* Both before and after turning.
Short answer is, in canon, the Blood enhances what you already have. The amount of that enhancement varies.
~Hit the jump for 3 Shades of Lestat’s eye color.~
Movie!IWTV does not align with book!IWTV on eye color. It isn’t mentioned in the books that their eye color changes by a particular tonal measurement; the Dark Gift is different for each of them, but what it does do consistently is enhance what the fledgling already had as a mortal.
For example, Armand has warm brown eyes as a mortal, IIRC, and they take on a golden (or amber) glow when he is turned.
Their eyes brighten and darken at different times in the movie, maybe it’s related to the intensity of their emotional state. I know for a fact that they all (main adult cast, not Claudia or Denis) had at least two shades of contacts in their color: a normal set and a brighter set and of course there may have been times, as with Orlando Bloom in LOTR, that someone forgot to put the contacts in before shooting, that’s human error.
3 Shades of Lestat’s eye color:
Chastising your idiot child who could’ve finished you both would be intense:
Finding out that your daughter has polluted her own bed, less intense or intense in a different way? i mean it’s HER bed after all you don’t sleep with her thank goodness:
Pleased with self for A+ parenting, low intensity:
