I really despise Armand, I don’t even know why. I have this hatred for his character. But everyone in the fandom seems to like him…

Are you the Anon who hated Armand from a month ago? Too bad you’re both on Anon bc you could form a club!

Noone says you have to like all the characters, some are in fact antagonists in some stories and protagonists in others, and everything in between, and they can change over time. What AR is telling us is that labeling someone “bad” or “good” or “crazy” is a limitation. Life is not so black and white. 

You don’t know why you despise Armand, but you say “everyone in the fandom seems to like him…” Consider this: some ppl dislike a character just because so many other ppl like them. I didn’t like the Beatles at all for a long time just bc so many other ppl liked them, and I wanted to feel like I had my own special taste. I listened to some of their hits, then some more, really gave them a chance… and well… turns out, I like the Beatles.

Give him more of a chance or don’t. Not everyone loves him but he has plenty of fandom love.

What do you think of Lestat from the Queen of the Damned movie?

I really dislike that movie as a whole, but I know many ppl enjoy it for what it is and/or find it nostalgic, so I try to keep my negative opinions about it to myself.

(by textsfromthevampire ^This meme actually works in reference to Lestat and Stuart Townsend AS Lestat.)

The long answer is:

I didn’t hate Townsend. I don’t like to throw hate on actors for their acting. I’d say ST did the best he could with what he was given. His failure as Lestat was a group effort (makeup, costume, script writer, dialogue coach, director, editor, sfx, etc. all had a hand in what we got on the screen) much as Cruise’s success was a group effort (wherein all those things previously mentioned came together so perfectly).

The actor is one part of the machine in creating that character. The failure or success of the character can ultimately be placed on the director since s/he’s the one who coordinates and makes all the aesthetic choices for the entire film.

But again, some ppl really enjoyed him as Lestat, maybe for the same reasons I /disliked/ his performance! Everyone has their own taste, ppl frequently disagree with the Academy Awards (why hasn’t Tom Cruise gotten one yet???!!), it’s all very subjective.

I need to ask this i dont know why but i feel like I need to. Have you ever read that one louis/lestat fic which includes scissors? This is a weird question to ask I KNOW but you’d immediately understand which fic i’m talking about if you had read

(2/2) 

I s2g i’m not the author but i was just shocked when I read that one so I want to know if it’s well known or not

I have not, please link me. You have me very intrigued. I hope it went smtg like this

After this, someone lost her scissor privileges for a LONG time. [X]
