I would be hard pressed to come up with a WEIRDER lineup for an Injustice League than this one. That Harpy one isn't even real Action Comics 443

“Marius and David not welcome” is sort of funny to me in the grand scheme of this series, like I get the basis of this argument is “well they’re both creeps” but to that point I’d recommend a reevaluation of the entire series, particularly its cast of characters.
Tumblr media
They are all guilty of some manner of abuse. They all commit horrific atrocities. And they moralize over these atrocities. Like. That is the principle upon which the entire series is built. Can these literal monsters ever be redeemed?
When you read Interview with the Vampire did you feel some extreme discomfort with the father/lover dynamic between Louis and Claudia? (which was excised from the show I might add) That locked-door uneasiness is the essence of southern/gothic fiction. Read V.C. Andrews. Read Shirley Jackson. Read William Faulkner. The taboos, the ick if you will, is the foundation of gothic horror. You are meant to feel this. It is an essential function of the genre.
Like- every one of Anne’s books that followed IwtV had to essentially compete with the gothic genius that is the invention of Claudia and the sickness that is her story. It’s not all effective, but it’s there in almost every work. TVL has Lestat and Gabrielle’s incestuous relationship, QotD has Armand’s abuse (yes, abuse) of Daniel. For god’s sake, TTotBT features Lestat committing a rape, and I know that you all know this. Yet no matter how you try to headcanon that scene away, it will always be significant because its very function is to service the larger themes of bodily autonomy and consent within that specific novel.
Killing in fiction is benign. We are desensitized to it. And we know this. Killing means nothing, so the narrative must work harder to find a violence that can demonstrate evil to a desensitized audience. There is a reason that these books are shelved in fiction as opposed to genre. By design, their difficulty is inherently literary. You’re uncomfortable? Good. Then Anne achieved her goal.
But if you’re looking to proselytize and transform the work into something with a black and white morality system then you have come to the wrong series. You are gatekeeping yourself from a nuanced understanding of the material. David and Marius are as bad as everyone else. The main trio are not exempt from this reading. That was the point. They are all bad. They are all complex. It is meant to be difficult to parse. Engage with it or don’t, but you are deluding yourself if you think that these two main characters are somehow going to vanish from the tv show.
(And again, AMC is going to strip away the most challenging character traits anyway)

Anne Rice's Personal Fancasts for The Vampire Chronicles
(Important Disclaimer: I gathered this together as a curiosity, not as a comment on any past, current, or future actors playing these characters, and if you feel the need to use any of this to make anything other than positive comments on any past, current, or future actors playing any of these characters, I don't agree with you and I don't endorse it, and I hope Lestat comes and yells at you about it in your dreams)
Looking for her thoughts on a few things from her novels, I stumbled upon the weird fact that Anne Rice has a huge digital footprint of which actors she at some point had as her own mental image or ideal casting of her characters. I've collected as much as I could, and so, for fun, here they are! Unless otherwise specified, these were all posted on Facebook between 2009 and 2018.
Lestat
Tumblr media
General Comments:
He is a "man", not a "boy"
He's a "big guy, quite tall and strong" (she emphasized this a lot)
He should be a guy in his late 20's so the actor doesn't change too much and can play a 250 year old immortal
He could be played by an unknown
He should not have dark hair or a five o'clock shadow
He should be good looking, because "Lestat's beauty is part of him, part of his self-assurance, his arrogance, his confidence and his seductive power"
First actor she thought looked like Lestat: a young Rutgar Hauer
Actors She Specifically Suggested
Chris Hemsworth (Mentioned at least x 3, said when she watched movies with him she could only see him as Lestat)
Richard Armitage (Mentioned at least x 3)
Anson Mount (Mentioned at least x 2)
Stephen Amell (Mentioned at least x 2)
Charlie Hunnam
Kıvanç Tatlıtuğ
Leonardo Dicaprio (late 90's, mentioned at least x 2)
Actors She Responded Positively to Being Suggested
Travis Fimmel
Harry Lloyd
Wes Bently (2000, was apparently considered for Queen of the Damned)
Louis
Tumblr media
General Comments
Mentioned the idea of Louis and Nicholas being played by the same actor
Originally inspired by actor Alain Delon
Actors She Specifically Suggested
Matt Bomer (Mentioned at least x 7, mentioned a lot outside of fancasting, she was really in love with Matt Bomer)
Richard Armitage
Hugh Dancy
Marius
Tumblr media
General Comments
"At least 40"
She did not care if he wasn't blonde (see her suggestions below for why)
Actors She Specifically Suggested
Matthew MacFayden (Mentioned a least x 7 but I eventually stopped counting)
Gary Oldman (late 90's)
Actors She Responded Positively to Being Suggested
Paul Bettany
Armand
Tumblr media
General Comments
Has to be someone in his 20's (also specified 25 or 30), a "baby faced man, a boyish man"
Actors She Specifically Suggested
Simon Woods (Mentioned at least x 2)
Johnny Depp (Late 90's)
Gabrielle
Tumblr media
General Comments
Past 40, closer to 50
Actors She Specifically Suggested
Cher (Mentioned at least x 2, was a suggestion for Louis in the 80's when the idea of gender swapping the character was in the mix for IWTV)
Judy Davis (late 90's)
Eva Green
Actors She Responded Positively to Being Suggested
Claire Danes
Evan Rachel Wood
Kirsten Dunst
Akasha
Tumblr media
General Comments
Should be played by a black actress in tribute to Aaliyah's performance in Queen of the Damned being such an entry point for black fans of the series
Actors She Specifically Suggested
Lupita Nyong'o
Tiana Benjamin
Memnoch
Tumblr media
Actors She Specifically Suggested
Russell Crowe
Pandora
Tumblr media
Actors She Specifically Suggested
Eva Green
David Talbot
Tumblr media
General Comments
Should be British
Actors She Specifically Suggested
Jeremy Irons
Anthony Hopkins

@monstersinthecosmos and I were talking and she dug up this exchange Anne had with someone on Fanpop back in the day, concerning vampires' love and sexuality. There were quite a few fascinating tidbits but these are my favorites:
I see them [vampires] as transcending matters of gender or age. Lestat loves Louis. Louis loves Claudia. Armand loves Lestat. Lestat loves Gabrielle. There is no distinct difference in the quality of any of these loves. This has also been described as polymorphous sensuality.
"--- Armand is desperately in love with Lestat but it has nothing to do with sex. Armand feels Marius failed him and Marius feels Armand failed him, and that part has nothing to do with sex. Marius and Pandora, that is a love affair, but again sex has nothing to do with it. So they are all capable of loving people of their own gender and the other gender; gender doesn't matter. It's the essence. Lestat loves David Talbot as a lover, a friend, a mentor, a father, etc. --- It goes on like that. The act of dominating and drinking blood can happen between any two characters regardless of gender. They cannot be pinned down. They see all life as potentially beautiful and all forms of love as rewarding."
X
I'm verklempt at the fact Anne mentioned Armand and Lestat in the same vein as Armand and Marius and Marius and Pandora, but also I love how much she emphasizes that they can cannot be pinned down and all that forms of love are rewarding!
It's just such a revolutionary way of thinking especially when you consider that she was a woman born in the 1940s in the American South. She may have missed the beat on some things but on others, she was right on the fucking money.

I've been saddened forever that Armand is so short and cruel with his statements about Daniel in his book, but rereading it now, I think maybe Armand is just not in a very charitable place about any of the others.
He's been through a big trauma, obviously, and Lestat is still comatose on the floor of the church. Seeing him is the only reason Armand is willing to endure proximity to any of his kind, and even then, he's annoyed by the immortals flitting about and coming to see Lestat and hold vigil for him.
The only person he seems to have kind words for are Marius--with whom he's entrusted the safety of his mortal children--and even then he doesn't want Marius' company. He says repeatedly he only wants the company of mortals at this time, and basically wants to be left alone. Now that he's seen Lestat for himself, he's ready to take the kids somewhere private and spend time with only them for a bit.
And then he says this about Louis, as he's talking about how strong a fledgling David is:
Count on Lestat to make the most lethal of monsters, that is, after his initial seductive blunders-Nicolas, Louis, Claudia-not a single one of the three able to take care of themselves alone, and two perished, and one lingering and perhaps the weakest vampire yet walking in the great world.
Louis who is, at this point, by Armand's own account, coming to check on Lestat regularly and then returning to the Rue Royale flat, presumably to make sure it's ready and comfortable for Lestat when he does awaken. Louis, whom Akasha called the most vicious killer among their kind!
Y'all I think Armand is just maybe in a mood. David Talbot is lucky he doesn't tear out his throat and leave him in a burning building when he presses him to tell his story, tbh.

Arthur, Orm, and Manta all being dads but still having beef with each other is so funny. They should be having bbqs on the weekends together instead of trying to kill each other, let’s settle down dilfs.
