#(that's what Armand said)

[petrowriting]

the revelation that claudia’s rebirth was such a twisted and horrible moment, with louis dragging her like she was a thing, a stranger who neither of them knew but he kept saying over and over “our daughter, our beautiful little daughter” to lestat, really solidified the way she was never the main character of her own story. she was always an accessory to some or the other of louis’ whims: his guilt, his loneliness, his conflict of being a killer, his rocky relationship with lestat. there was love there, love from both her fathers, but it was never enough. lestat saw her too much as a wretched mirror held up to his own self, and louis was always too steeped in his own feelings to care enough about hers. claudia’s story truly was the greatest tragedy in this tale, treated horribly by every man around her, even her fathers, relentlessly exploited and brutally ignored, always second and never first. the only one who loved her the way she deserved to be loved was madeleine, and the moment she truly had her, her happiness was torn from her. and just before she died, she got to see someone actually choose her in her entirety, not for what she can be but for who she is, and it still wasn’t enough. she still burned alive in the sunlight. the love was there, but it wasn’t enough to save her.

Assad Zaman as Armand INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE SEASON 2 (2024).

[drolta]

i’m still laughing

[loumandforyou]

Do you want to hear my story?

[sourweather]

Lestat telling Louis "I put you on this earth, your purpose is to enjoy yourself" only for Louis to live in misery for the next hundred years. Lestat being turned to be Magnus' heir, his legacy, only for Lestat to refuse to speak about him unless he absolutely has to. Claudia being turned so she could be Louis and Lestat's pet daughter only for her to fight endlessly to get away from Lestat and his influence. Madeline being turned to be Claudia's eternal companion only to die for loving her shortly after. Armand being Turned so that he can be an eternal, obedient plaything only for Armand to spend 500 years desperately trying to manipulate people and obsessively hoarding power and control. Daniel being turned out of spite and contempt only for him to take to vampirism joyfully and with fervor. Is this anything

[limpwristssavelives]

the way i had to pause my tv in shock when louis said “besides one incident it was a happy time” about his time in paris where his DAUGHTER WAS MURDERED???

[hallowvamp]

Saw someone who called Dreamstat unnecessary and said that he was only there because they wanted to give Sam something to do.

I don't believe I am watching the same show as these people because what do you mean you don't think Dreamstat served a purpose? What do you mean you watched season two and you don't think Dreamstat served a purpose in Louis' story in particular?

Sweetie, I think you're due for a rewatch.

i've mentioned this before but louis and armand's relationship in paris after the trial is so hollow, and at the beginning of their story they had so much chemistry, so much respect for each other, they were having philosophical conversations and romantic walks, they had so much potential. and you can tell it's gone a bit wayward even before the trial, with how louis removes himself emotionally from their relationship, but the trial really yanks the rug out from under them and shows just how Nothing their bond has become.

and i think it's best exemplified by louis warning armand about his plans to burn the theatre and everyone in it. because i can't read that as anything other than, like, the internet joke about a school shooter warning the only person who was nice to him to stay home from school tomorrow. all that potential, all that loneliness, all that they tried at first to confide in each other and heal the heartbreak they both sustained from lestat, and by the end it's as if they're acquaintances, who only know each other just well enough for louis to refrain from killing armand alongside the rest of the coven.

[professional-girlkisser]

he was smitten. you could've had it all armand de nothing.
