tinhuvielartanisI'm almost 4000 words into "Isobel" and she is about accept Cadmus' offer to join him in the hunt. My dilemma is that I'm wondering how long the hunt will be. I don't want any one hunt with another Vampire or human turned Vampire to last too very long. Cadmus has little patience with others despite his newfound need for companionship. With his newfound emotions, you could say he has become a player. I have named the collection of shorts The Harming Tree for Barry's homemade musical instrument/art piece. I will, of course, ask him if I can continue to use this before proceeding in trying to get the stories published. For what the Harming Tree is in the stories, the title fits perfectly. Before I go further with this, I may go ahead and approach him with the idea. By now, I'm sure he's used to my associating gruesome concepts with him, poor man.
Last night, I posted a picture of Tom Hardy as Shinzon. This picture in fact.
One of my Facebook friends made mention that the picture was not one of Barry Andrews. O_O Does Tom Hardy look like Barry Andrews?! I realise a lot of people think that all bald men look alike, but good god on a popsicle stick, I can't bear to think about that. He's my primary choice to play Cadmus and, yes, Cadmus was deeply influenced more by my irrational fears of Barry Andrews thanks to an overactive imagination, but still. Am I that blind? It's kind of put a damper on my enthusiasm about The Singing Tree because I was drawing more from Tom Hardy for a human Cadmus than I was Barry Andrews. Not saying B isn't human, god no. He's a good soul. I love him dearly. It's just that I've seen more expression in Tom Hardy's eyes than in Barry's, his being an actor and all, and that bespeaks a humanity that Cadmus has not yet come to grips with, but is learning and will learn more with each consecutive companion. So here's a little poll. Please be honest and comment on your decision if you feel a need to. Maybe I'm too close to the situation to "get it." I don't know. I need the help of objective souls.
I've also added a picture of Mr. Andrews for those who aren't sure what he looks like (like![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

[Poll #1705409]
It's funny that I addressed Cadmus' sexuality yesterday and this morning I discovered that Tom Hardy mentioned experimenting sexually as a young man. The overlap is gratifying to me and makes what I'm trying to do here all the more enjoyable and realistic for me. Cadmus will be taking both female and male companions and he will be doing more than hunting with them. There's all manner of debauchery in store, if I have my way, all involving blood, of course.
In the meantime, I want to try to finish the first story of Isobel today. The next story in collection will the tale of Artus, a young mortal taken under Cadmus' dark wing and taught the art of the Vampire. Needless to say, it will end badly but, I hope, deliciously.

Date: 2011-02-17 04:06 pm (UTC)(As I now must muse over people thinking all bald men look alike. That's sort of funny to me given that I only once had a thing for a bald guy. Well two guys if you count the fact that the non-fictional one who used to work with me DID completely look like Lex Luthor on Smallville. But yeah, I don't see other blad guys and automatically think they look like Lex. Nor do I even try to compare them. ...but I digress. :P)
