#(i put punishing in quotes bc to me punish implies wrongdoing and i don't think louis did anything wrong here. he apologized for his words-

[feedingicetothedog]

i'm gonna be honest. i don't fully understand ppl saying that armand suicide baited louis into running into the sun bc he sounds genuinely distressed when he says louis' name on the tape and why would he be performing distress when 1) he clearly wasn't planning on letting those tapes see the light of day, 2) the only other person in the room was unconscious and someone he was planning to kill anyway, and 3) you could only hear the fight after using 21st century audio enhancement technology? like was he trying to wound louis w what he said absolutely. it's what louis was also doing in that fight, they were throwing each other's trauma back in the other's face. but i really don't think he wanted louis to hurt himself bc part of the emotional abuse later is armand being upset that louis tried to "leave him for death"
