Awwww thank u so much, always good to hear I’m doing well w/ this thing ;u; I’ll keep up more of the same, then!
I haven’t watched Versailles, but I have heard of it and seen bits on tumblr, and as a side note: you might be interested in this Philippe RPer: @frerenuage. And the Chevalier is RP’d by @chxvaliers.
He’s not 100% my headcanon but Alexander Vlahos – wow. So pretty.
And look, he’s doing that little demure thing that Louis does when he’s trying not to be judgmental, better to just say, “I see…” and speak w/ his glare:
This looks familiar: not the outfit and hairdo so much as the facial expression and subtitle, w/ a pleased af Lestat front and center “YISS I DRAGGED HIM HERE KICKING AND SCREAMING! I AM AMAZE MYSELF
This is also familiar, bc Louis is in fact a BAMF and he will smack a bitch:
Thank u ^,….,^ Now I have to watch all 3 and compare. Why can’t they just put cameras in and film it professionally and sell the copies to ppl it would be so much better for everyone *siiiiigh*
hi! this actually gave me a bit of a fright because i didn’t see that tag and thought it might mean that they were actually stealing my work – but it looks to me like they’re just saying it looks like a different character from a fandom of their own? which i’m fine with.
thank you very much for looking out for me! but i don’t think in this case they’re actually stealing my work. i don’t mind if a different meaning is assigned to it by other people once it’s left my hands so long as it’s not harmful or offensive or anything.
This is probably the same Anon who messaged me about my “#stealing this for my fandom” tag.
I am so grateful that the original artist responded this way. I had a lovely private chat w/ them today, so I actually have to thank this Anon for bringing us together!
It was a Wednesday so it was necessary to celebrate on BOTH weekends before and after, bc, you know, I can’t possibly go to work and then have enough free time to celebrate my fabulous existence on a WEEK WEAK NIGHT.
And THANK U FOR YOUR LOYALTY you’ve been on board this crazy train since 8/30/15!
@i-want-my-iwtv Thought you and the rest of the fandom might want to see this, about 4/5 down from the new interview! Director Josh Boone basically just confirmed himself (instead of the other source I had earlier) that the new film WILL be an adaption of The Vampire Lestat, but will have tiny bits of influence from other books (I’m assuming he means IWTV and QTD). He also said he’s aiming for a trilogy AND a spin-off tv series! Super exciting!
Your synopsis was gr9, but I must have it from his own words (my highlights):
I trust this man. Why? It appear that he’s not rushing into it to make the $$$, he’s doing it bc he respects and has affection for the source material, dating back from his youth. “These were hugely inspiring books when I was young. They really helped shape me the same way [Stephen King]’s books did.”
He is totally in the VC fandom, an honorary member. He just may not know it yet ;]
LOOKIT THE WAY HE TAGGED UP THE STAND TO PREP IT FOR ADAPTATION THAT IS SOME SERIOUS FAN LOVIN’ [X]
^He’s gonna take care of us similarly ❤
Reasons (in no particular order) why I trust Josh Boone w/ this adaptation, from his IG account:
Hit the jump.
^Mentions the VC in his IG caption. It would appear that he’s honored to be part of it! Also he shares his icon pic w/ Stephen King, and really, Stephen King is also one of my faves for his amazing storytelling abilities, I mean, I just don’t even have words for what he does, but he seems to come from a similar place that AR did, they were both steeped in the horror media of their youth and he alchemizes through his own unique filter and GOLD COMES OUT. A different flavor of gold than AR’s, for sure, but they are comparable.
^He collects the old industry magazines, old publicity from the time period. He keeps himself updated on horror movie FX and topics so he’s not just gonna give us some shitty 90′s eye makeup, slap on a pair of fangs and a wierd accent and expect us to swoon. LIKE SOME MOVIES HAVE DONE.
^Like seriously he takes care of his books, and he has the nice hardcover editions.
Daddy/daughter sci fi movie night too cute. TOO CUTE. E.T. is worth 50+ viewings, absolutely.
Gonna restrain myself from suggesting he cast his adorable daughter as Claudia. But if he wanted to do it, I would certainly not stand in his way.
IKR? Jaws is so relatable to the VC, vampires are a kind of shark, in a way. A much prettier and more intelligent landshark. “…what we are dealing with here is a perfect engine, an eating machine. It’s really a miracle of evolution. All this machine does is swim and eat and make little sharks, and that’s all.”
So I managed to do another Jaws meme for you! It is not shark-specific but I think it works ヾ(´▽｀;)ゝ
Went couch shopping over the weekend and got to butt-test LOTS of couches, which may not seem awesome, but was adventurous for my butt. I don’t have any VC-related image for this so have this underappreciated memeything, bc, ADVENTURE:
(my birthday was 3/16, so sorry for the delay in reply to these lovely messages which arrived on time!)(I have a bunch more to get to, they really made my day extra special, you are such wonderful ppl!)
