No, that’s not being “that” person at all! What IS being “that” person is being all overly offended at someone else’s pronunciation, so before I answer I’ll just remind y’all that these are fictional characters, there’s no right way to pronounce them, I don’t care if you have a master’s degree in Etymology and/or Linguistics, named your pet/child after them, have a friend with the same name, even if you are the creator of the series, anyone is free to pronounce these names however they want.
Amadeo- “ah-mah-DAY-oh” or “ah-MAD-eeyo,” I sorta use both.
Khayman- “Kay-men”
Mekare- “mee-CARE” or “mek-ARRAY,” personally, I prefer the first option.
Maharet- “maha-RET” (emphasis on the last syllable like “Margaret”), or “MAH-harret” (emphasis on the first syllable), or “muh-HAH-ret” (emphasis on the second syllable). Personally, I prefer the last option.
(redhairedtwin may disagree with me on the twins, she can add her two cents if she wants to do so.)
BONUS… hit the jump.
Marius- “MAH-reeyus” or “MARE-eeyus,” I tend to prefer the second option.
Lestat- Despite AR’s explicit instructions that it be pronounced “Less-DOT” with emphasis on the second syllable, I can’t do that, it sounds too clunky for me. I think it’s more like “Less-TAT,” second syllable like “cat,” or “Less-STAH,” as in “star” without the “r.“ I prefer the “cat” version. More discussion on his name here.
But in chronological order. Like, you start way back with Akasha and Enkil in season 1 and work your way down the timeline and so get to see how all these different stories and characters intertwine over the centuries
takemetocoffin-or-losemeforever tagged: #yes yes and yes #for now I’d be more than happy with a IWTV honest trailer #but a TV show would be soooo great #nobody works for a tv network or something like that around here?
Yasss, agreed w/ Takemetocoffin, and aliceallanpoe, may I add: #PREACH #just don’t let anyone who worked on the QOTD movie anywhere near this okwe already had one flop thanks
Sometimes i just hate french language, we only have 1 word for being “excited” and “horny” it sucks because when i say “je suis vraiment excitée de te voir” it DOES NOT MEAN “I WANNA FUCK YOU AGAINST A WALL” IT MEANS “I’M EXCITED TO SEE YOU BECAUSE I MISSED YOU” BUT I CAN’T USE IT ANYMORE BECAUSE PEOPLE LOOK AT ME LIKE I’M SOME KIND OF SEXUAL MANIAC WHEN I DO IT
And don’t forget that the French word that was originally used for “to kiss” (and that is one of the meanings in a dictionary) now means “to fuck.” Americans get funny looks if they don’t know that one…
Oh yes, “baiser”….
Well this is all purely educational so #necessary reblog rebagelrebaguette.

I hope no one ever forgets that there exists a movie where Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise are essentially a same sex vampire couple raising an undead immortal vampire daughter.
No one, not even them.
(Imagine, an AU with grown-up Claudia and brunet Lestat.)
From left, AU of Louis, Gabrielle (or adult!Claudia), Lestat.
My dream came true ; I’ve been waiting for this ask for so long. My dear, thank you! Yes, I’m also a
huge fan – for many wrong reasons – of Top Gun, Maverick/Iceman is my fav
OTP ever (with Ethan Hunt/Will Brandt and Louis/Lestat ; yep I love to pair Tom
Cruise with guys, don’t judge me). Seriously I had never seen so much tension between
two characters in a movie before, it’s kinda amazing. Anywayyy, I digress. I also
made some unsuccessful crossover edits of the two movies. I mean it’s such a weird, specific and personal crossover I didn’t even hope to get notes (big up to every person who liked or reblogged it btw!) but Top Gun is the reason why I felt in love
with IWTV then VC soooo… I regret nothing haha!
But really, when you think about it, there’s some similarities… For example, the plot. Let’s call our hero(es) “the brat” (suits both Lestat and Maverick, nope?)
– First, the brat spot a dude
– he “fools around” with the aforementioned dude
– and it ends up with an “ambiguous” relationship.
– Of course, the brat crashes (in the water) and burns
– so he’s all sad and shit
– but finally, he fucking rises like a phoeniiiiiiiiiix.
Both movies also involves:
– flying (with sexy dudes)
– “fooling around” (with other sexy dudes)
– a shit load of sexy dudes (doing sexy stuff)
– heterosexual backing
– a touching piano scene (to make you cry when the piano guy dies in the next scene)
