Ok now that I’ve posted my long and serious thoughts about Armand allow me to get back on my bullshit about his hair.

I feel it might be significant that Armand gets his curls out again when he decides he’s gonna be a part of the interview and his goal is to get into Daniel’s space and manipulate him.

The slicked back look he has at the beginning of the ep is the modern equivalent to his Paris look, just without the finger waves. That's a Loumand look:

This, however, is the modern equivalent of the San Francisco look (with more modern curly girl products for a more defined curl pattern. Yes I AM imagining Armand with his little microfiber towel and curl cream, let me have it):

A good way to manipulate Daniel might be to present the way he finds most attractive, no? Or at least give him a subconscious visual reminder of the last time Armand felt in control of their dynamic (or has convinced himself he did). For that matter, Armand is wearing a blue button up shirt in the 1970s scenes we’ve seen bits of. What is he wearing here? A blue button up shirt. It’s more modern and sleek and fits in with the penthouse. BUT STILL. (This photo is potato quality, but this is the same shirt he's wearing under his brown jacket in the 70s clip in season 1. It's dark blue with a little bit of brown trim on the collar):

The hair just feels SO intentional as a story telling element this season, for all the characters (Lestat and Louis too), and I just love it. I will be really interested to see if Armand's look continues to reflect whoever attention he's seeking as the season goes on.

I’m just saying but look how cocky and smirky and like “how did you know about that my beautiful boy?” Armand’s expression is when Daniel brings up the fire… (the only time we’ve ever really seen him actively trying to read Daniel’s mind was the seventies clips where he’s leaned forward like this)

And then it triggers a memory of Armand in the 70s in Daniel and LOOK how Armands face changed from cocky and curious to “oh my god he remembers me”

And then how he has to tear his eyes away from Daniel cause he remembers that Louis is there and I don’t think Louis remembers the fire by the way in that moment he says “the fire?” Like he doesn’t know what Daniel is talking about.. but like LOOK how Armand even as his head is turning toward Louis his eyes are GLUED to Daniel until the last possible second

I think Armand thought Daniel would never remember him cause he didn’t think Daniel loved him in the past. He thought he was addicted to his blood- but now he’s like, “oh shit?”

Y’all the MICRO EXPRESSIONS… THE ACTOR ASSAD ZAMAN IS HOLY FUCK.

Magnus Bane’s S2 Wardrobe: a Study | Coats & Jackets (part 2) ↳ Most statement pieces in Magnus’ wardrobe are coats and jackets. Whether they’re short and tailored or long and sweeping, they never fail to make an impression. Since the end of season 1, Magnus’ style has become consistently grittier and darker. In most of season 1, he tried out different looks and aesthetics as he navigated the early stages of getting to know Alec and finding out what he liked (x), but as of season 2 he seems to have transitioned back to what we can assume is his usual style, with studded shoulder straps and a dark color palette at the heart of it. A lot of his jackets are truly statement pieces, as every other one has some variety of shoulder strap embellishment that makes it hard, if not impossible, to look away. He doesn’t shy away from accessorizing a long studded coat with a spiked chain hanging off his hip and a long flowy scarf draped around his neck, but he also shows off some more balanced looks; like a form-fitting velvet jacket with statement buttons down the front and rows of silver chainmail across the shoulder being paired with a sensible black pant.

What Would Magnus Bane Wear? — 18th Century Edition

I'm quite taken with Magnus Bane's evolving fashion over the years, so I started noting the descriptions of his outfits from each of the books. They feel like too much for a single post, so I'll start with his fashion from the 18th century (everything I could find from before The Infernal Devices):

"What Really Happened in Peru," The Bane Chronicles

Magnus awoke in his roadside inn just outside Lima, and once he had arrayed himself in an embroidered waistcoat, breeches, and shining buckled shoes, he went in search of breakfast.

When his particular expertise was called for, he brought Ragnor with him. They boarded the ship in the Salaverry harbor together, both dressed in their greatest finery. Magnus was wearing his largest hat, with an ostrich feather plume.

"The Runaway Queen," The Bane Chronicles

It was brutally hot inside his cabriolet as it bumped its way along. Magnus had animated one of his magnificent Chinese fans, and it flapped ineffectively at him, barely stirring the breeze. It was, if he was completely honest with himself (and he did not want to be), a bit too hot for this new striped blue-and-rose-colored coat, made of taffeta and satin, and the silk faille waistcoat embroidered with a scene of birds and cherubs. The wing collar, and the wig, and the silk breeches, the wonderful new gloves in the most delicate lemon yellow … it was all a bit warm.

They wore long, workmanlike pants, and they cast long, judgmental looks at Magnus’s own exquisite breeches, which matched the rose-colored stripe in his jacket, and his faintly silver stockings.

The meal was simple enough to arrange—getting dressed, however, was not. Absolutely nothing was right. He needed something that was flirtatious and fetching, yet businesslike and serious. And at first it seemed that the lemon-yellow coat and breeches with the purple waistcoat fit the bill precisely, but these were discarded for the lime-green waistcoat, and then the violet breeches. He settled on an entire ensemble in a simple cerulean blue, but not before he had emptied out the entire contents of his wardrobe.

annoying wacky sidekicks who only exist to elevate the hero are OUT. two equally moronic goofs who both think of each other as the sidekick and themselves as the voice of reason when in fact they're a double helping of dumbass are IN.

Okay. Okay. Okay. Was it good? No. actually, it was catastrophic. HOWEVER- drag the season, not the show. It wasn’t a waste. I mean look, it brought so many people together and we created so many beautiful things, never call it a waste. Please.
