I would love to hear your thoughts on autistic Armand, if you haven’t already spoke about this! Imo he’s very autsitic coded, and it’s very precious to me as an autistic iwtv fan :]

OMG!!! RUNS AROUND. Yes lmao I talk about this a lot actually it is one of my favorite Armand things to meta about bcus I’m also autistic and he is my special interest🙏I was trying to find some of the stuff I’ve written about autistic Armand but tumblrs search engine makes it near impossible to find anything so I gave up 😭, but believe me they r out there. Even tho I talk about this a lot I would love love love to talk about it some more for u anon because I can never get enough of armandtism.

I first figured Armand was autistic when I was reading the vampire Lestat because when he is first introduced he is completely non verbal and only communicates through the mind gift. through further explanation it’s very much implied that he does this because he finds putting his thoughts into words hard and he considers just projecting them into peoples brains much easier. Armand speaks out loud for the first time like more than halfway through the book, and lestat is surprised to hear him lol. This is super autistic I feel like that’s obvious 🙏 it’s basically the vampire power equivalent of using a non verbal communication device. Armand having trouble with connecting with people, understanding how to “fit in”, and talking r prevailing parts of his character throughout the whole series (not just tvl) which solidified my headcanon into basically a canon fact in my mind lol.

When Armand is first introduced in iwtv his strangeness is chalked up to his vampirism, but it’s soon revealed throughout tvl and qotd that Armand is considered a strange outcast by other vampires. The things he struggles with r unique to him and r not representative of vampires in general. His otherness/strangeness can also not be chalked up to his trauma or his age turned because Armand was also an outcast as a young child. It’s described in the vampire Armand that Armand was not understood by his parents or his community because he was obsessed with and freakishly good at painting. His community interprets his unusualness as a sign of some divine intervention, the priests believe he is a saint or a prophet sent to earth, even at times saying things implying that he is “not human”. Unusually high quickly developing skill in childhood is an autistic trait, as is hyper fixation on an activity/topic that becomes a core identity factor and prevailing obsession. The affects of Armand’s trauma only worsen the severity of his autistic traits. C-ptsd and autism often overlap and coexist in autistic people who were traumatized in childhood, which seems to be Armand’s case.

in queen of the damned Armand is at his peak autistic lol, I feel like this is when most book readers gain that head canon. The Devils minion chapter revolves around Armand using Daniel as a guide to help him learn how to be “normal” and to blend in to the modern age. Armand can’t seem to figure out how to blend in on his own because he is unable to understand social norms of any time period enough to integrate himself into society. Armand is in love with technology and what most would consider monotonous sensory experiences. He stares at his own reflection for hours, he loves kitchen appliances and watching ingredients whir in blenders, cameras, he watches the same movie over and over again and never gets bored of it. The way Armand fixates on technology really reminds me of how a lot of autistic people played as children. He enjoys repetitive, sensory behaviors over “fun”. For Armand this means watching the same things repeatedly, which is a form of visual stimming. There r moments where Armand is trying to understand his world, but is so blind to what he is trying to understand that he goes about his discoveries wrong. Such as in qotd when he tries to interrogate strangers to gain information on societal norms but he only gets uncomfortable glances. Armand is desperate to understand and to connect but he is consistently inherently alienated, whether it be from humanity or from other vampires or from himself.

Armand also can not process his memories comprehendingly. This is part trauma part autism, but autism is def a factor. Because of his repressed trauma induced memory loss Armand finds it difficult to talk about himself to people. This is worsened by Armand being unable to comprehend the aspects of story telling that he needs to be able to tell people about his life. Armand explains to Daniel that he vividly remembers small details, such as dates and weather, but he could not tell Daniel what “things were like” because he “doesn’t know what that means”. Literal thinking, the inability to grasp vague, fiction based concepts like narratives and metaphor, and strict fixation on minor details like numbers, are all autistic traits!

Armand also struggles heavily with emotional regulation. He is described as often having intense and extreme meltdowns where he cries and screams and breaks things. Armand is easily bothered, in tva he mentions that he covers his ears when he is overwhelmed. The vampire Armand begins actually with Armand becoming overwhelmed in public and trying to escape to an attic so that he can be alone in silence. Armand copes with his intense emotions by putting on a mask of neutrality. He is often described as expressionless and blank, uncanny. But this is a mask, and when Armand can no longer mask and his disguise lapses his facial expressions r described by lestat as being so over the top and emotional that they are distributing and weird. Over the top unnatural facial expressions as well as blank unreadable ones are both autistic traits. For Armand he is naturally overly emotive to the point of being considered horrifying, and he hides this by taking the opposite extreme. Either way, either expression Armand puts on causes him to be socially outcast.

Armand often describes feeling like there is something wrong with him that causes him to be isolated from others and he’s not sure what it is. In prince lestat he tells Gregory that he doesn’t know why it’s so hard for him to have relationships when other vampires are fully capable of doing that. In the vampire Armand he explains to David that he’s crazy because his mind isn’t built right and his senses are tripled so he shouldn’t bother trying to understand him. I rlly relate to this as someone who felt like I was from another dimension as a child bcus i didn’t know the unspoken life rules everyone else did.

Armand is often treated like a child by the other vampires and assumed to be emotionally immature and too fragile and insane to be helpful. Armand says in the vampire Armand that he doesn’t consider himself an adult because he can’t function like one. This could be due to the age he was turned, but it’s shown to us that characters like Benji and even to an extent Claudia r able to self regulate and function appropriately despite being turned even younger then Armand was.

in conclusion, book Armand is an autistic person who was never given proper support or understanding because the environment and the time period he was born in decided to alienate him further rather then work to help him socialize and learn appropriate skills, and because of the necessities he has been deprived of and the horrible trauma he endured Armand is never able to learn to function in the way he was likely capable of. this recessive quality in pair with his autism caused Armand it be unable to cope or self regulate or learn ways to understand himself since he wasn’t given a chance to in his formative years. He’s a great representative of what many autistic people who experienced intense child abuse experience.

Im rlly happy with the shows portrayal with Armand so far partly because he is omg, so autistic. Show Armand shares so many of book Armand’s autistic traits. inability to understand himself or others, fixation on small details but inability to understand the big picture, etc. even his iPad is autistic asf! My ipad is my comfort item that I carry around with me to self sooth, and this is def the vibe Armand’s iPad gives me in the show. Even assads performance is autistic! He is able to play Armand masking and Armand unmasking, the stilted expressions he gives and the blank stares, the uncomprehending earnestness. AGHHHH!! Assad stims with his fingers when Armand is nervous too which is just an amazing touch. I hope the show explores Armand’s autism, because that would literally be a dream come true. Even still, for now I’m satisfied.

thank u so so much anon for the ask this made me so happy 🙏❤️ autistic Armand means so much to me and has gotten me though some tough times. Understanding and analyzing Armand helps me understand myself better and feel more comfortable with how I am. Earlier this year I gave myself a concussion because I was harmfully stimming during a meltdown, and while I was in the emergency room I was holding the vampire Armand and imaging that he would relate to what I was going through. So yeah he is very special to me too! And once again it makes me so so happy that u got me to talk some about it. I hope this was coherent or interesting lol I felt like I was all over the place

Make sure to read every word. Let it sink in. Doesn't it send a shiver down your spine? It does for me. Especially with the fact that a crowdfunding platform known for helping people recover from their finances would pull something like this! And they have announced it on other than October 7th, 2024, a year into the accelerated genocide that is taking in place in Gaza.

Iyad Sobhe (@yadsgaza) and Ruba (@rubashsblog) are long time neighbours and friends who consider each other as family. They are raising funds with PayPal ever since GFM has either terminated their fundraiser or made them lose access. Iyad has lost 11K while Ruba can no longer withdraw the 27K.

They can not afford to start all over when PayPal is their last resort. This means we have less than A MONTH to raise the entire amount of 60K! So please donate and share! Donations have slowed down significantly, resulting in 1 or 2 donations per day, when we should be raising $600!

You can match my friend! She has given $10 USD and if we have at least 60 people contribute the same amount in a month, we would able to succeed! (But you're more than welcome to give any amount! Even as little as $1 since PayPal accepts such amount!)

Verification: #90 for Ruba and #173 for Iyad in the spreadsheet by Hussein (@/el-shab-hussein) and Nairuz (@/nabulsi) [Keep in mind that the document has not been updated and does not reflect the current fundraiser. You can learn about it here]

🙏🍉Please Help the sabreen Family .🍉

🌹The cry of an orphan child who wants to survive and escape from stricken Gaza🌹

👋I am Sabreen, a widow and the mother of four young children: Toleen, 10 years old, Obaida, 9 years old, Laith, 7 years old, and Ghaith, 5 years old.

My children and I had to flee from one place to another after our house was completely destroyed, and we faced unimaginable hardships as I struggled alone to provide for their needs. Despite this, the occupation army ordered us to move south under the pretext that these areas are safe. My young son was injured in the head, and because of the massive displacement that the occupation army threatened us with, we moved. At least 9 times from one place to another, and I faced many difficulties with my children because I did not find anyone to turn my back after the death of my husband, may God have mercy on him.

All I had was my home and my dear children, then the occupation forces came and completely destroyed our home, leaving us only with each other. Now we are homeless, without shelter, and without anyone to turn to.

I am in urgent need of immediate treatment abroad to prevent my illness from getting worse, and to secure a decent life for my orphaned children. Their education, which was interrupted by the war more than a year ago, needs to be resumed.

Children are expected to move away from this never-ending conflict, to a place where they can experience the safety that every child deserves. A life where you can grow in dignity, away from war, with access to everything necessary to live safely

Please save my orphan children from under bombing and destruction with your donation, which can save an entire family via the link.

With the utmost respect and appreciation ،

Sabren❤️

Got a kid in Texas, 18, who hasn't eaten in almost 3 days. He got kicked out of his house like the day he turned 18 by his dad, for being gay.

He's shaky and feels sick, and it's probably lack of food. He keeps puking. :(

He has a PayPal: @hugoperez66666

If anyone can send him some money for food and gas so he can get from his dinky-ass town to Austin, I'll 3D print you a mini of your choice and mail it to you, free of charge. You find me the STL and it's yours. I'll even paint it. Just pm me with proof and what you want.

Anyone in the Austin area who may be able to let him couch-surf for a few days?

[sizequeen1]

read after voting please.

iyad ( @eyadblogs ) has been raising funds for a while and i remember reading his campaign asking for hope for his dreams, that's the view for him, the hope on the other side of the struggles the occupation has put him through or his family, because where he should be making dreams come to reality he's helping his family survive.

i ask that we help him get there, and more always more. currently he's barely meeting the necessities for that survival or his own recovery as he was poisoned by the phosphorus gas the occupation keeps using. we want more than that for him, more than living through more hell and no respite or hope for more, or am i mistaken? can i be so wrong? no. for one that grows we already all did by helping him get there, is that something we can count on? all of us?

please donate and share iyad's campaign as soon as it possible for you to do so, when you see if you can, help palestine i beg of all of you

€12,561/40,000

a very small goal, and the needs get complicated to obtain and to anticipate through prices and the weather worsening, consider all of these things, thanks for reading.

Little Majd needs your help

Majd Al-Habeel @youseffamily has known little of life without suffering. After losing his home to IOF bombardment, he and his parents were forced to live in a tent. This wreaked havoc on Majd’s health, as he is diagnosed with a serious respiratory illness that limits his ability to breathe. Living in a tent leaves one exposed to dust, dirt, debris, vermin, mold, fungus, and harsh weather—the worst possible environment for a child with his condition.

His family requires mutual aid to provide for Majd’s life-saving care, as well as to procure food, water, medications, other supplies, and clothing and gear for winter. They are a little over two-thirds of the way to their current listed goal, with still a long way to go. Please help this family out and give sweet Majd a better chance at life.

Thank you❤️

Majd’s family’s campaign was reblogged by 90-ghost and is supported by @khanger

i’ve recently been speaking to Ahmed (23) from Gaza who needs €400 ($420) urgently if he is to continue his online schooling amidst the war as well as support his family. the total goal is $5,000–please consider donating even a few dollars. it’s very important and would mean a lot.

Ahmed asks that you share this around if you truly can’t donate! thank you so much for your support 🙏

My heart breaks for my family. How many times must their hands burn just to reach a loaf of bread? And behind each loaf lies the harsh reality: flour infested with worms and insects, expired and damp from poor storage and transport. Yet they have no other choice they’ve already been forced to eat animal feed and wild grass.

Do you know the cost of this single sack of flour? Or how many children risk their lives gathering firewood from the rubble of destroyed homes under constant threat of bombing? Aboudi, for example, should be living his childhood in peace. Instead, he’s the one tasked with collecting wood for cooking.

Can you imagine how many children, how many people, wait eagerly for that single piece of bread, only to share it among so many? How much longer will this suffering and humiliation continue this war of starvation? Do you know how many children have died hungry in this genocide?

Silent solidarity will not save the children of Palestine. We must act and make a difference. Thanks to your support, we have raised enough to secure the escape of three of my family members from Gaza.

Please, continue supporting my family so we can secure the fourth as soon as possible. The border could open at any moment, and we need the funds ready to save their lives before we lose this chance.

So I had to raise funds to pay an ex-friend and roommate for their laptop screen and I wanted to avoid all interactions with them (and their parents) because the last time the police were involved and it left me completely traumatised.

I couldn't meet that goal before the due date so I payed that person instead of paying rent PLUS my ex-landlord is charging me for dry-cleaning of curtains and fresh linens (see text below - I had discussed a plan with them plus had asked them and gotten confirmation that the apartment was cleaned to their standards but they seem to have completely forgotten and I don't want to get into a back and forth.)

PLEASE HELP ME RAISE $935 FOR RENT, CHARGES FROM EX-LANDLORD AND GROCERIES

PAYPAL

PLEASE SHARE AND GIVE WHAT YOU CAN

Zero donations so far

THESE PAYMENTS HAVE TO BE MADE BY THE SIXTH OF DEC.
