Ummmm I’m 99% sure he’s ever mentioned cutting it in canon, he’s far too in love with it to cut it ;} It’s sort of his security blanket.
I headcanon that he does style it, he’s braided it like Thor, he’s into trendy accessories and sparkly clips, he’s dyed colorful streaks into it. He’s very into the manbun fad as long as there’s a lot of front pieces loose:
I’ve heard of this term, Mandela Effect, seen it in discussion re: the Berenstain Bears, for sure.
But really? All these ppl misremembering the title? Or was it more like this:
The Mandela Effect
“The Mandela Effect is a collective misremembering of a fact or event. Various theories have been proposed to explain what causes it, some more sensible than others.”
That might be it. Idk, I feel like I’m not really affected by this bc I am so obsessed with it that I never misremember it. It seems like ppl who say Interview with “a” Vampire are either:
A) Purposely saying it wrong bc it sounds slightly amusing wrong (it kinda does!);
B) It really might have been translated that way in their native language;
C) They’re really not as into the series in general so it doesn’t matter whether they have a word wrong;
Ya gotta realize that I love getting Asks, no matter who they’re from (well I don’t like trolly asks but that goes w/o sayin’), when it’s from someone who seems like they’re not necessarily in our fandom, that’s fine, too. Not everyone has to be as obsessed with this to the level that I am ;} Any interest is good interest!
^fanart by@garama, who must have seen it live or the video of it, and has drawn fanart based on the musical, so he must have liked it! This is one of my all-time fave fanarts of the little family ❤ i just want to buy a whole graphic novel in this beautiful heartfelt style is that so much to ask *cries*
Re: Lestat the Musical, I am so sorry to say that I didn’t like it and I can’t even enjoy the videos of it *sobs* I vaguely remember one funny joke Gabrielle made about childbirth, something like that was the first of many bellyaches Lestat caused her… ? I don’t remember 😛
Some ppl loved Lestat the Musical, and more power to them! I am jealous of you. IDK if you saw the SF version or NYC version, live or video of it, but I saw the NYC version live and I partially blame the NYC producers for how bad it was for me, bc they apparently stripped out alot of the flair and gay stuff, maybe they were afraid it was pushing the envelope too far? But isn’t that what theatre is supposed to do? *sigh*
You can find ppl who enjoyed it, and other stuff about it, in my #Lestat the Musical tag.
Sadly, I mostly feel second-hand embarrassment for Lestat the Musical bc I made the mistake of inviting my cousin to go w/ me. She was not in the fandom, and she was uncomfortable the whole time *facepalm* Idk I thought she’d be into it, but the NYC version we saw was stripped so bare, and there was little to engage with. I can’t even listen to the soundtrack! It just brings me back to how disappointed I was in the bareness of the production, at the whole audience’s lack of enthusiasm… much cry, very sad.
So I have to be cautiously optimistic about the adaptation in the works and hope that they considered Lestat the Musical and can avoid its pitfalls.
So I’ve been reading The Vampire Chronicles and have been super enjoying it so far. I love the disgusting drama these creatures get up to. While I’ve been busy at work I have had the time to sketch these out and today the studio was on break and I was able to color them all in one swoop. It’s pencil plus a couple multiply/overlay layers in photoshop.
The order is: Louis, Claudia, Lestat Armand, Nicki, Gabrielle Bianca, Marius, Santino.
I’m reading QotD next so expect Akasha soon, ohohoho….
