merrycai replied to your post: Hi! I love your blog soooo much! Is it bad I check…
U r beautiful! And does the icon of your account in ao3 is you? I thought that girl was you. And I am more sure now
Awwww thank u! <333
Yep, my AO3 icon is really me! [X] That pic is from 2013, I was going to try to photoshop myself as Merrick, but decided against it.
My eyes aren’t actually that green, that’s photoshop, but in the right lighting I have some green color than just light brown goin’ on…
♛You may say so. He has no idea how delicious he is. No matter how many times he’s told. Probably for the best.
He’s actually very sensitive about being objectified like this, so I try to keep my appreciation of him to my physical expression of love, rather than verbal praise *winks*
What you’re interpreting as his “sexy” eyes, or that he’s capable of looking into people’s souls, that’s usually his ability to spellbind others, and he does it without even consciously trying to do so. It’s not just his physical attributes, it’s one of his vampiric gifts he hasn’t really needed to consciously hone. I wish that he would, though *dreamy sigh*
kudos to @i-want-my-iwtv for revealing the secret of Claudia’s Eye Color. thanks!

New painting for the Month of Fear challenge “Wicked”.
Not all Nokken are wicked, but the ones that are have been said to have the sweetest songs with words like honey. With kisses and promises, they’ll lure you closer and closer to the water’s edge. By the time you notice you’re out of your depth, it’s too late.

No worries, I understand what you’re asking ❤ I could write SO MUCH on this, so I’ll try to keep it short and basic.
We all picture him differently, I think that’s what will make it so hard to cast an actor. I still debate with ppl about his hair: whether it’s chestnut-color (like in movie!IWTV), shorter and curlier (like in Lestat the Musical), or dark, longish and silky as in a lot of the fanart. We all apply our own ideals of beauty (which are influenced by our own cultures, art, families, romantic partners, and/or friends, etc.) onto him. Plus, the other VC characters are generally more poetic when they describe him; they detail his inner qualities more than his physical ones.
That said, I agree that he would appear at first to have an overall delicate and almost androgynous figure, and he moves with a lot of grace and dignity, but he can definitely kick ass when necessary; there’s muscle and skill packed into that slender build >;}
I imagine his eyes as being more of a sea-green, maybe not like lasers ALL the time, but with a sparkle to them,
…with a good fringe of inky eyelashes when his eyes close,
^and that feathery but still masculine eyebrow.
^X these eyes belong to Steven Kelly. His lips are a lot bigger then I picture Louis’s lips, but his jawline is right (it’s a flattering angle tho tbh), and Louis is described as having a narrow head.
As for the body, I picture him as a little underweight due to the state of physical unfitness he was in in the month(s) leading up to his turning, but still muscular:
^X Simon Nessman would probably not like to hear himself called physically unfit, what I mean is, he’s got the basic setup, is a little underweight, not all !bursting! with muscle. (yes I imagine Louis has dark nips like this but a more pronounced happy trial *blushes*)
@eibhlis97 and I agree that he has great thighs due to riding horses all his life ;}
And a view from the back, bc yes, he requires, as you put it: “long legs ( and of course nice butt ).”
^X Louis will wear heels for Lestat on occasion. Very special occasions. Right, @vampchronfic?
“Sometimes that shark, he looks right into you. Right into your eyes. You know the thing about a shark, he’s got… lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll’s eye. When he comes at ya, doesn’t seem to be livin’. Until he bites ya and those black eyes roll over white. And then, ah… “ – Quint, JAWS
