IS your birthday? Or am I late? Early? Happy birthday regardless! I only started following your blog recently, but I’m enjoying every bit of the effort you put into it.

You’re early! It is 4 hours away but Thank u! Well you are fortunate that you started following me recently, I think this thing, like meeee, needed a little time to age to perfection. 

… rather like a fine wine. Raise a glass for me *u*

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.

Ok so this fanart by @farmer-little-wolf (aka @spookdoodles) is in my queue and is relevant to your point:

“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]

(Note the blood snot w/ the blood tears.)

#AGREES AGGRESSIVELY

Hello! Without any spoilers, what can you tell me about The Wolf Gift series? Have you read it? I haven’t yet and I’m curious (and desperately craving some beautiful Anne Rice writing). Also your blog is amazing, so thanks! :’) ~hugs~

Ah merci for the compliment, glad u enjoy ma blarg ~hugs back~ ♥u♥

Very easy to tell you what I know w/o any spoilers bc I… didn’t read it! I’m not a huge werewolf fan, sadly. It depends on the type of werewolf, the era, so many factors (par example, I like this one, I loved Jack Nicholson in Wolf, and I loved the werewolves in What We Do in the Shadows). 

I intend to read it, someday, but for now, from what I’ve heard about it, my gut reaction is this:

[X] ok i cracked the spine and skimmed it a bit but that was the best I could do for the initial exposure. It’s exposure-therapy with fiction.

Has anyone read any of this series? Reblog and share your opinions, no spoilers, as per @moonsandlace‘s request ;]

I was cruising around and stumbled on the face of Michael Sutton, an actor who played Radu in the TV movie “Dracula The Dark Prince”. now in my head as soon as I saw his face, Santino popped in my head. There’s a tie between him and François Arnaud in my little version of casting the VC characters – some days François Arnaud works a little bit for Nicolas as well :3

François Arnaud is good Nicolas stuff. I’m gonna have to watch the Borgias now, right? Yeah. Bonus points:

  • Canadian, but born in Quebec, where French is the official language, so I’d say he’s got authentic enough French heritage (and he speaks English, French and Spanish fluently!) 
  • Can sing and play the piano so he must be able to read sheet music LET’S PUT A VIOLIN IN HIS HANDS
  • 6’ 0¾" (1.85 m) tall :D, Lestat is about the same, which is important, bc they share clothes in Paris ❤
  • 31 yrs old but can still pass for his early 20′s.
  • Looks damn fine in period costume

(Re: Michael Sutton, can you find me a good gif or two? I’m having trouble getting one bc there are alot of Michael Suttons out there or smtg.)

I don’t have a gif for Michael Sutton but here are a couple of photos from Dracula The Dark Prince were he played the character Radu, Vlad Tepes brother. 

Now, Michael – look wise – has the dark and brooding look of Santino (back in the days when this TV movie premiered, I pinned him for Santino, his age might be a problem now, he’s 46 but can pass for a 35 years old man and since news of a VC script are harder to get than water the Gobi dessert, this will remain as a wishful cast on my side).

But…as I was cruising for photos, I stumbled on an old fancy of mine…Todd Lasance – Caesar in Spartacus War of the Damned and Julian in The Vampire Diaries.

Blond, blue eyes, 33 years old, could pass for late 20s.

at first, I pinned him for Lestat but something wasn’t quite there for a full Lestatish experience. Then I kinda saw Marius – Caesar, the whole Roman look. He can act vicious, he can be cute, he can do drama and he can make men and women swoon. 

And, bless you for being here I-Want-My-IWTV!

Well, you make a lot of excellent points, I can’t really argue! As far as the age thing is concerned, idk how hold Santino is meant to appear, but erring on the side of older rather than younger works for me; he’s meant to be somewhat imposing and scary, at least initially.

Thanks for the followup, and merci for the compliment ^u^
