"I said that I want you. I want you more than anything in the world," he repeated with only a subtle change of expression. And then he sat waiting, watching.

"I've had to wait and watch for you. And now I'Il fight for you. Do you see how ruthless I am in love? Is this what you meant by love?"

"I fell in love with him hopelessly"

"That is the crowning evil, that we can even go so far as to love each other, you and I. And who else would show us a particle of love, a particle of compassion or mercy? Who else, knowing us as we know each other, could do anything but destroy us? Yet we can love each other."

"It was the love of Louis which had at times crippled Lestat, and enslaved Armand."

"And as soon as we were dragged into the Théâtre des Vampires, I was crying out for Armand"

"You have me. I love you. But I'm mystified. You're satisfied?" "How could I not be?" he asked. "I am satisfied, of course."

"Louis, my companion, dried up of his own free will, rather like a beautiful rose skillfully dehydrated in sand so that it retains its proportions, nay, even its fragrance and even its tint. For all the blood he drank, he himself became dry, heartless, a stranger to himself and to me. Understanding all too well the limits of my warped spirit, he forgot me long before he dismissed me"

"I must have Louis, that was my injunction. I knew no other."

"He alone can give me the strength to be what I am. I can't continue to live divided and consumed with misery. Either I go with him, or I die"

'They were your fellows, you were their leader,' I said. 'Yet you didn't warn them I was out for them, as I warned you?'

'No,' he said.

'But surely you despise me for it. Surely you respect some rule, some allegiance to your own kind.'

'No,' he said softly.

I keep seeing ppl on tiktok who don't understand why ppl ship things other than loustat bc "loumand is so toxic tho" or "polyamory would never work for them" etc, etc, and I actually think it is way more insane to ship anyone in IWTV because you think their relationship would be healthy or productive. This is the toxic vampire show, I'm shipping based on maximum turmoil caused to all parties involved.

"Armand wants Louis because hes the closest thing he can get to Lestat" WRONG‼️

Armand wanted Louis when they first laid eyes upon eachother! He wanted Louis looking down into audience after him! You see the moment Armand clocks LouClaudia are Lestat's fledglings in the green room- but all that, "felt ya'lls lust for eachother" energy comes before the other shoe drops. Armand wants Louis because he's different. Not just from the coven, not just from himself but from anyone he has ever known. Louis De Pointe Du Lac is a singular wonder to him. The shadow Lestat casts is a wrench among the boxful of wrenches thrown into the cogs of their romance, but Armand would have loved Louis even if their lie was the truth. The greatest engima about Louis is his humanity, how he loves and is also bores of. The thread of compassion and woe it winds through him. Armand loves the light he gives off entirely on his own. There is no other man in his image or mind, Louis is one of a kind. That's all that matters

Louis & Armand ↳ INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE • "No Pain"

[burythebonesincoldwater]

Loumand doodles + Molloy realising he gotta make it his life mission to split them

[burythebonesincoldwater]

you can love a character and still admit when they’re wrong. i love claudia but can acknowledge her flaws (she has none) and can hold her accountable for her wrongdoings (she’s never done anything wrong in her life) and call her out for her actions (which are always correct).

What do you mean Armand and Jean-Paul Sartre were on a first-name basis?

the thing with how lestat and daniel handled louis’ depression is that they had the immediate audacity to believe they could fix him with their personalities and humors and sex whereas armand thought hey let’s make the situation more dire and throw in a daughter death and bdsm. you laugh but armand got 77 years and lestat and daniel only have regrets. see?

"Are you sure this is what you want, Arun?" is THE most romantic Loumand line to me because this is Louis, knowing that Armand has suffered a life of abuse, of being bent and broken and reshaped to his captors' will, knowing that he has a complicated relationship with his own sense of self from the history he has shared, taking care to ask I want to know if you actually want this as yourself, not as Amadeo, the Maestro's perfect muse, not as Armand, the fearsome coven leader, but as Arun, the real you, before you were forced into those roles against your will. Arun, who did not have a choice then, you are free to make the choice now. Are you sure that you want this?

Which makes it extra unhinged that Armand's response is basically "yes daddy"

me 🤝 shipping the pairing that the show only treats as an obstacle to get to the real pairing they were planning all along

[burythebonesincoldwater]

I think the boys really made that scene so nice in the way they take each other in and how they look at each other. I think it works on an emotional level so well.
