Another thing I love about this fandom is that there are just so many good ships to switch between. Loustat is getting a little boring? No problem—I’ll just go see what’s up with the Devil’s Minion. That’s kinda losing its spark? All good, I’ll check in on what my girls Claudeleine are up to. Ahh, my brain craves something different again? Back to Loustat. And so on. It’s a never-ending cycle. I don’t ever see myself getting sick of this.

"You fear Armand, you should fear the other one."

Broke: "Armand may be older and more powerful but Louis is a loose fucking canon who can not be brought under heel"

Woke: "We know everything about what you and Armand got up to in the 70s and 80s. He's so in love with you. He'd never let Louis hurt you. Yeah, we all ship it here at the Talamasca. We have Fanfiction Fridays- Yeah Real Rashid is the current champion and beat 74 others for the chance to do field work on this. No, I can't give you his AO3 tag you'll have to ask him yourself.

I am Mohammed, I live in the northern besieged Gaza Strip, I am 21 years old, I have always tried to create a beautiful future for myself in which I achieve all my wishes. I had ambitions and dreams, but they evaporated because of the war, but I still want to achieve them despite the siege. During the war, I lost many things, including my university, my dreams, my job, and some friends. Despite that, I still want to achieve my dreams and ambitions. I want to rebuild my life again, so please help me in that and rebuild my life. Therefore,

please donate as much as you can because that helps me a lot. If you cannot donate, tell people about my suffering.

I am an absolute supporter of the theory that Daniel and Armand were together in the seventies and that Armand erased or altered Daniel’s memories of it. It would add so much nuance to their characters and their relationship. There’s just this bittersweetness within their interactions that I couldn’t quite explain otherwise. I think Assad’s performance in this scene especially supports this interpretation:

Imagine seeing the love of your life again after 50 years—seeing how he has changed as a person, how he has grown from a silly boy into this amazing reporter, how he has matured both physically and mentally. You are forced to remember your relationship and the feelings you buried deep within yourself all those years ago, while he’s staring right back at you—with no recollection of it at all (which was your doing).

Not only is Armand forced to see the love of his life again and grapple with the resurfacing feelings that come with it, but Daniel is also dangerous to him. Daniel is smart enough to uncover Armand’s carefully crafted web of lies—lies built to maintain control, something Armand desperately needs. Armand has meticulously built himself a life where he gets to keep Louis, and Daniel has the potential to tear all of that down.

It’s such a rich, layered dynamic: Armand’s love and guilt for Daniel, his need for control, and his inability to resist the pull of someone who could destroy it all. It creates such incredible tension and emotional depth.

During his promo tour, I need Lestat to go on a TikTok live with Terri Joe, where she tells him: “You’re a liar, a cheater, a sinner, and a homosexuah.”

love when vampires have their "off-limits human" all while they are cruel & conniving & instinctually prey on the rest of the population. but them? oh, no, they could never see that side of the creature they have grown to love. with them they are gentleness incarnate fighting their nature every moment they lay in their arms.

I bet Louis woke up next to Armand in the middle of the night, with his head in his hands, nothing more than his wife, and then he thought about Lestat all those years ago and stood face-to-face with “I told you so.”

Did you eat the baby Louis

Was it raining Louis

Are you schizophrenic Louis

Did we fuck Louis
