My version of Tamlin throughout the years
Emil Andersson
When I first read the series in 2018, I pictured Tamlin to be similar to lotr elves, tall and ethereal. A young Emil Andersson encompassed that for me. It's so nostalgic looking at these pics that I dug up from the archives. This version will always be my favorite β€οΈ
Luke Eisner
2019 - A year later and still heavily obsessed with Tamlin I found Luke whilst watching Tall Girl. His entrance was literally that heavenly "ahhhhh" music ringing in your head. An absolute stunner of a man. And just like that he became a version of Tamlin. Then you kind of go down a rabbit hole and become obsessed with his music as well (How very Tamlin-esque of him!) - I recommend "Figure You Out" if you'd like to listen, it's their most popular, and Gus's voice is the best thing everrrr!
Sam Reid
2024 - My infatuation with Tamlin had died down and surprisingly HOFAS brought me back into the fandom with full force. A few months back I was looking for something to watch and stumbled onto "Interview With A Vampire", season 2 had just begun and I figured let me give it a chance. Throughout the first season, I kept telling myself to stop turning every blonde man I came across into Tamlin! However, I couldn't stop the urge. Sam Reid is so insanely talented. His acting blew my mind. The way he embodies Lestat makes me wonder how fantastically he would play Tamlin in a live-action (Though I pray to the mother above for acotar to be canned! It's a disaster waiting to happen). To those who watched it, did the last ep of s2 not remind you of a broken Tamlin in his destroyed manor?!
An honorable mention is Brock O'Hurn whom I had recently discovered thanks to @avabrynne
Despite having these celebs as a base for Tam, my mind still conjures up different versions of him depending on how I feel. Some days he's giving lotr, some days he's giving Viking warrior vibes, other days he's a straight-up animated version lol.
What does your version of Tamlin look like?
This post was inspired by @positivelyruined - you had recently posted that Luke will always be your Tam. And @ladydelena - your alphabet post had Sam Reid in the end. I just had to combine both my loves into one post!
