I know this is for Dark Angel, but fuck it. I'm headcanoning the Dean learned how to play piano when he was at Sonny's home for boys, and he actually enjoyed it.

[theonceandfuturekingofalbion]

And here I was thinking that I was the only one hearing him speak with a slightly different accent in season 2.

Also, let's not forget the slight Creole drawl in Lestat’s voice when he said, "It's my home. I am she, she is me." (I'm Creole on my mother's side, so I knew I wasn't just hearing shit.)

Jacob Anderson gets a lot of very well-deserved praise on his accent work in IWTV, especially in the sense that it goes back and forth— the thick NOLA Creole drawl to the sterile, stripped-clean, carefully blank American that he uses in Dubai, and then back again. If you listen closely, you can hear him very subtly letting that drawl "seep" back in during really intense Dubai scenes. It's absolutely phenomenal.

BUT! I would also like to give Sam some flowers that I don't see mentioned much. Mostly because we only hear it in two scenes, with very few lines: the reunion scene in 2x08, and the S3 Teaser. Sam is doing! Two completely different accents at once! And I KNOW it's intentional bc it's a book thing and our boy has a doctorate in Lestat.

In Louis' account of events, Lestat was fresh off the boat. The French accent is very thick, and he also peppers in a lot of French into his sentences. (Most fic writers tend to lean into this). But by our start date in 2022, Lestat has been living in Louisiana for over a century. In TVL, set in the 80s, Lestat describes LOUIS as the one having an accent.

So what is Sam doing with this?

FOR STARTERS. There are whole stretches of words, entire lines in those scenes even, where Lestat sounds pretty casually American: "shut up" like "shuddup", "and I thought, who better to carry on the great work", "Siri, pause". The French thickens a bit when the emotion intensifies, but even then it's not entirely present like it is in the rest of the show. The nasality and softened "T" of "nineteen sevendy three" "Did you hurt yourself?", the "I can't, Louis." THE WAY HE SAYS LOUIS' NAME SOUNDS DIFFERENT. not lew-EE anymore, but LOO-ee.

The teaser?? Very fun. The entire line "There's a goblet on the table." And "but, then again...it might not." AND!! Of course accents of all kinds tend to soften when singing, but in the song he only sounds French when speaking French.

And these HAVE to be conscious choices, they have to be planned and the ratios played with because neither of these are Sam Reid's speaking voice. He is doing two accents at once and it's so subtle but it's also doing so much to make Real Lestat distinct from Memory Lestat. What a GIFT what a TREASURE what SUBLIME leads we have for this show.

This is both offensive and hilariously accurate.

I was today years old when I realized the name Claudia means "lame" and "enclosed" in Latin.

To be lame is to be crippled.

To be enclosed is to be trapped.

Anne Rice really knew what the fuck she was doing, didn't she?

Can confirm, I was in the third grade and my favorite show had just been canceled before they could finish the storyline of the show and then writing burst through my door, told me to write the ending myself, and took me hostage. It's been 11 years since I've seen the light.

“how did you get into writing” girl nobody gets into writing. writing shows up one day at your door and gets into you
