The fact that they keep bringing in characters that are from later in the books (Bruce, Dr. Fareed, Raglan James) makes me think Dubai is farther along in the books than we realize. I feel like some stuff (akasha) hasn’t happened yet… but finding Claudia’s diary in New Orleans, and Louis being suicidal etc are from later in the book series. Has parts of Merrick already happened? Louis said in season 1 that he hadn’t killed since the year 2000. The book Merrick was released in 2000. Armand (as Rashid) “You’re chronicling a suicide.” The fact that they even HAVE Claudia’s diaries in the first place is farther along in the books.
Now why bring Raglan James in so early? I already have a feeling they aren’t bringing David in (they didn’t for Mayfair Witches and he was a big part of that) so why Raglan James SPECIFICALLY? Why not just some random Talamasca member? They’re trying to hint at what’s to come. Daniel being in his 70s and not having David in Mayfair Witches (or IWTV I’m assuming cause it wouldn’t make sense to have David in one but not the other) makes me think they’ve merged Daniel and David into one character.
If you know anything about what happens to David in Tale of the Body Thief you’ll understand where I’m going with this - I’ll put a spoiler warning for the books here.
At the end of Tale of the Body Thief, David gets a new body and Lestat changes him into a vampire without his consent.
If Daniel and David ARE being merged into one character (which makes sense considering David is the one who listens to Armand’s story in The Vampire Armand and the fact David was a main character in the Mayfair Witches book series but was merged with Rowan’s love interest to make Ciprien in the TV adaptation) then that means that something similar could happen to Daniel.
Armand in the books (after 10-12 years of a romantic - albeit it started off fucked up - relationship which includes Daniel being addicted to Armand’s blood and a mutual obsession between the two of them and then they fall in love) turns Daniel in 1985 I think the same night of Lestat’s concert and the awakening of Akasha if I’m remembering correctly. In the TV adaptation since the San Fransisco interview already happened that also means (quite obviously from the new promo) that Devils Minion already happened. Which means young Daniel tried everything on Earth to get Armand to change him into a Vampire. Probably bringing himself super close to death because he wanted to be with Armand forever. Armand has a major trauma from Marius (grooming, child slavery, sex slavery- but also Marius telling him over and over that every fledgling grows to hate their maker- lol ok dude, you literally groomed your first two fledglings from childhood and abandoned them both but yeah, that must be a every maker and fledgling thing). It affects Armand to the point that he vows never to turn ANYONE into a Vampire EVER. But then he meets Daniel and falls in love with him and can’t stand the thought of existing without him. So he turns him.
It seems like Armand in the show didn’t truly believe Daniel loved him. (They have a really wild relationship where Daniel will run away and come back begging for him back and Armand welcoming him with open arms over and over until Daniel finally accepts that he’s in love with Armand too). But Daniel DID love him. Just as much as Armand loved (and STILL loves- because he always will) Daniel. So instead of watching him be chronically suicidal and trying everything to get Armand to turn him he wiped Daniel’s memories thinking they wouldn’t come back. Thinking Daniel could live a normal human life without him.
From what I can see of the preview it seems like Armand and Louis had broken up long ago. Most likely after the first interview in the 70s (I’m pretty sure it’s similar in the book - Louis ends up leaving Armand once Armand tells him Lestat is still alive and he didn’t die in the theatre fire). Hence, Armand saying “I know where he is.” in the promo for 2x05.
That’s when Daniel and Armand fully happen. But in the show instead of turning Daniel he wipes his memories and tries to let him live a normal life because he loves him.
Now Lestat and Louis break up and get back together like ten fucking times in the books and Louis when he isn’t with Lestat always goes off alone or he goes to Armand. Lestat and Armand eventually come to love each other and have a mutual understanding and respect for one another - it takes a while, believe me. Lestat KNOWS he can trust Armand with Louis. That Armand loves Louis too.
What I’m thinking is going on… is some of the events of Merrick have already happened where Louis seeks out Claudia’s diaries and her spirit to try to bring peace to himself. Instead it makes it MUCH MUCH worse. To the point that Louis goes forward with killing himself by burning himself to ashes (Lestat does bring him back don’t worry). But since I think the full Akasha storyline hasn’t happened yet I feel like humans would’ve noticed that (hence the great conversion cause she ends up killing like 90% of the Vamp population…) I think what is actually happening is Louis is trying to kill himself. He’s actively trying by getting Daniel to write this book for vampires to come after him and kill him (hence the “you’re chronicling a suicide”). His depression and despair is getting worse and worse as season 2 goes on, outwardly crying to Daniel thanking him for helping him remember.
I’m not sure if Louis in Dubai knows that Lestat is alive… he certainly doesn’t during the first interview.
Armand is a complicated character and he means well (yes he does do some fucked up shit in the books- some to do with Claudia- I don’t know if they’ll have THAT part in the show). But Armand does love Louis. He feels guilt for what happened with Claudia and he will do ANYTHING to make it up to Louis. To the point of letting Louis walk all over him (he’s had a fucked up human life and vampire life, let my boy live). I have a feeling, since Lestat’s lawyer in Paris mentioned it to Louis that Lestat has gone to sleep. They do that sometimes. Bury themselves underground and sleep- sometimes for decades. If that is the case I’m not exactly sure what happened between them for Lestat to do that but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
What I think happened after the first interview? Armand was trying to protect Louis from himself. There are obvious signs of schizophrenia in Louis and they’ve been hinting at it since season one with the Paul/Bird symbolism. Louis has blackouts. He’s had them even before he and Claudia tried to kill Lestat- that’s why I think we’re getting a revisit to the fight in 1x05 and to Claudia’s turning into a vampire. Either that or we are going to get it from Lestat himself at the trial in Paris (cause yes, the real Lestat is there).
Armand was not lying when he said he protects Louis from himself. That Louis acts out sometimes. The photos of all the men I believe some of them are Louis’ victims from his blackouts. We’ve already seen a glimpse of one incident in season 2 with the man in the park and Louis leaving his dead body there. Armand has suppressed Louis’ memories of what happened in Paris. What happened with Claudia. Probably half because he doesn’t want Louis to run off without Lestat able to care for him and partly because he’s trying to prevent Louis from hurting more people viciously and then going into a guilt spiral.
Louis did know what happened to Claudia at one point… but I think it was making him so suicidal that maybe Armand and Lestat together decided it was best to have his memories suppressed so that he wouldn’t hurt himself. But now? Now Lestat is god knows where and Armand is barely holding onto control. Louis is lashing out at him. He’s lashing out at Daniel. The memories are flooding back and Louis is slowly remembering… not just what happened to Claudia… not just what Armand did… but the probably hundreds or thousands of gruesome deaths he’s caused during his blackout episodes. Including the blackout episode he had with Daniel in 1973.
Now speaking of 1973, Armand was trying even then to keep Louis’ schizophrenia and blackouts at bay. He was suppressing memories that triggered Louis - half because he didn’t want to lose Louis but I also think he genuinely was doing it for Louis’ own sanity. But then Louis goes seeking out someone who will let him speak about it and help bring those memories back - Daniel.
Armand may just think Daniel is another fuck and run, I have a feeling ever since Paris - even though Louis barely remembers it - honestly, probably before then going by the fuckboi tendencies Louis was displaying toward Armand in the last episode, he probably fucks around a lot and Armand lets him. Mostly because he’s trying desperately to make it up to Louis. As I said, he’s desperate to make it up to Louis.
So Armand says okay fine, have your fun. And Louis goes with Daniel. But what Armand DOESN’T know is that Louis isn’t going with Daniel for (or JUST for) sex. He wants him to help him remember. That’s the WHOLE POINT of the interview. Armand doesn’t know about it. The first interview happens…. And then? Daniel pisses Louis off. He triggers him off by asking him to turn him. And Louis blacks out and attacks.
Armand shows up mid attack to find Louis with the boy he spent ALL NIGHT WITH doing GOD KNOWS WHAT and he immediately thinks Louis is trying to replace him with someone else. He gets jealous. Again, he doesn’t know about the interview yet.
Louis blacked out and by that time its morning. Armand probably walked in on him (trying to be like - you’re going to get hurt if you don’t find a safe spot it’s morning!) feeding on Daniel and being burned through the sunlight coming in the window. Armand has jealousy issues. I can’t blame the guy he has a huge amount of abandonment issues and being hurt… so of course he immediately jumps to why is Louis spending all night with this boy? What is so special about this boy that he’ll spend time with him all night but he won’t even look at me the same anymore (since Claudia).
Louis has to hide from the sun… And that’s when Armand jealously curious about this human boy and why Louis is apparently so open with him from what he seen at the bar. He tries to get inside Daniel’s head. “Is that what makes you so FASCINATING?” “Leave him be Armand!”
At some point - with all this mind fuckery which of course is essentially torture and poor Daniel is probably half horny half scared to death - iykyk - Armand sees the tape. He plays it. This isn’t about the boy at all. It’s about LESTAT.
It’s always been about Lestat.
Upset (and rightly so - imagine being with someone for that long thinking they loved you and meanwhile they were still pining for their ex) he has a bit of a meltdown…. And when he calms down enough… he’s defeated and tells Louis the truth. That Lestat is alive and “I know where he is.”
Now… Armand… who is a stickler for the vampire laws… knows he’s tortured this boy… knows this boy can’t living knowing that vampires exist. Because he’s seen into his head he knows there’s pain there. Daniel is an addict for a reason though I don’t think Armand knows the reason at that point… but since he knows the boy MUST DIE because you cannot tell a human about vampires and let them live… he offers him a peaceful death. “I’m the quiet you’ve been longing for”
Daniel agrees. The kid is tired, he probably has childhood trauma hence the drug addiction. He was just attacked by one Vampire and tortured by the other.
Armand starts to drain him… and then?
I think Armand sees himself in Daniel. Whatever it is (I’m not 100% sure - maybe abuse of some kind) stops Armand from killing him. He’s found someone who understands.
He gets Louis (partly burned from the sun) to help him carry Daniel out. Not sure if they take him to a hospital or where they take him but afterwards Louis leaves Armand and goes looking for Lestat.
That’s when Devils Minion happens.
Armand and Daniel somehow fall in love. And a decade later he has to wipe Daniel’s memories because Daniel will not stop until he’s either dead literally or a vampire so he can be with Armand. Or so he says, Armand thinks.
Now fast forward and we have Louis self destructing. Armand trying to hold the pieces together… Louis brings Daniel in not remembering he almost killed the guy and thinking, “Well he can help me get these memories back… i know he’s Armand’s ex and he (Daniel) is missing memories too. maybe if I get his memories back we can help each other”
That’s why Louis keeps bringing things up. Daniel’s mind has filled in a decade of his life with a wife and daughter that probably don’t even exist. (I know, I know Alice is Armand theory… but the farther we get the more it makes sense). Louis is PURPOSEFULLY triggering memories to come back in Daniel so he can help HIM remember too. Armand (until last episode I think) was so focused on keeping Louis together and trying to protect him that he doesn’t even realize that Daniel is remembering him.
Until 2x04.
Daniel brings up the fire.
Armand tries to read his mind to see where he got the information from.
And he sees a flash of himself watching TV in the 70s. And that’s when he realizes Daniel DID love him. If Daniel didn’t why would he be getting flashes of Armand. Not of Louis and the first interview… not of Louis attacking him… no, he’s getting flashes of Armand.
Then he remembers that he suppressed Louis’ memory of everything to do with Claudia’s death (Louis’ main trigger). Louis confused: “the fire?”
As Daniel’s memories come back… so do Louis’. However the more Louis remembers the more unstable he’ll become. I think at a certain point when he remembers everything the suicidal part of him with reach a climax… he’ll snap. Blackout with Daniel in a parallel of what happened in 1973. And Armand is going to have no choice but to save Daniel. I feel like Lestat will sense this happening and I feel like it’ll be the PERFECT segue for present time Lestat. Now will Daniel be hurt badly? I’m not sure. Will Armand have no choice but to change him because Louis hurt him too much, maybe tried to drain him to “get back” at Armand after realizing what was happening?
Is that why Jacob is scared we may hate Louis by the end of the season? I feel like if it was just Louis trying to walk into the sun that comment wouldn’t make sense.
If he tries to hurt Daniel though…..

Murf's AMA: Memnoch the Devil
@adamnablelittledevil you sent me such an incredibly lovely & thorough ask that I wanted to address every single point you made. So I'm breaking your PM up into separate AMA-style posts. Thank you SO much!
"I do enjoy and even love most of the Anne Rice's books I've been reading, and even the one I struggled with, Memnoch, had an awesome concept and I would've loved it if it had more action than Memnoch going on a monologue..." @adamnablelittledevil
AWESOME concept, yes. I always call MtD Anne Rice's answer to Dante's Inferno. Zero plot whatsoever. 😅 But whereas Dante was mostly just throwing shade at everyone he knew IRL; Memnoch's beef is with God himself, just one giant rant, LOL. Peak pettiness.
I like how Memnoch underestimates Lestat, cuz he knows Les is a p.o.s., and assumes Les will hate God enough to join him in Hell. But like...Les LOVES God. AR was struggling to reconcile her complicated relationship with Catholicism thru Lestat (& Armand & Louis, ofc). Les did NOT want to be the stooge for another despotic psychopath the way he was under Akasha in QotD. In MtD, is that despot the Devil? Or God himself? In the end, Lestat decides to work for neither one of them.
Tumblr media
Memnoch had no idea who TF he was talking to; cuz Les had grown & changed since IWTV, and QotD, and even TotBT. I love watching Les' maturity as he (incrementally) goes from this rabid feral manchild who never looks before he leaps; into a (slightly) more responsible adult in each following book. Ofc he'll always be the Brat Prince who requires adult supervision at all times; but my appreciation for Memnoch comes from it being THE pivot where Les realizes he HAS to change. Everyone thinks the worst of him, inc. the Devil himself, cuz he HAS done awful terrible unforgivable things. Once Les is in that coma, he's in Time Out for years, thinking back on everything he's done. He sees the pain everyone feels when they think he's gone, and he KNOWS he's loved--by Louis, Armand, Gabrielle, etc; everyone who visits him in that church.
Tumblr media
Once Les finally wakes up in Merrick, he's actively trying to HELP people: hence: the Mayfair crossovers in Blackwood Farm & Blood Canticle. Thus, Les finds his equilibrium (and blessedly turns Rowan Mayfair down LOL), just in time for The Voice to start running amok in Prince Lestat.
So yeah, I like the book overall, although I agree that it's not one of her best. Despite its lack of plot & heavy religiosity, it's a good story, all things considered. Cuz without Memnoch, Les probably would've been a totally different (read: worse) person.
Tumblr media
And it makes me wonder what AMC will use as the impetus for Lestat's redemption arc, and if they will cover Memnoch at all, or just skip over it. (Esp. since they've constantly mentioned how much shame will drive Lestat in S3, esp. wrt his role in Claudia's death.)
Tumblr media
TL;DR: I wanna see Lestat drink menstrual Jesus' blood! 😂

Mythic Symbolism in the Mayfair Witches
a mythic and psychoanalytical thread exploring themes of: alchemy, star lovers, fairytales, greek myth, three fold goddesses, and beastly grooms within the amc series ‘anne rice’s mayfair witches’
Tumblr media
*disclaimer*
This post will be split up into multiple parts as it is very lengthy.
The point of this post is not to discuss how the show adapts the source material, but instead how the show stands on its own, utilizing psychological and mythic motifs in its plot and character journeys.
For those who want to see the show, it is available on physical DVD and Blue-Ray as well as streaming. The entire eight episode first season is available on AMC+ which you can get a free trial for through Prime Video channels.
A second season has also already been green-lit. However the first season ends on what I would consider a very satisfying note.
Part One, Part Two,
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
SEPARATION OF THE FEMININE AND THE ILLUSION OF SUCCESS
Our heroine Rowan was adopted, and we do come to learn the way she was separated from her birth mother. But from the start, despite having a loving adoptive mother, Rowan expresses nonetheless that she is searching for “home”.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This becomes more apparent later, as we see Rowan admit she wants to understand her genetics, where she comes from. Who she really is. Something that has been one way or another discouraged by her archetypal “too good” mother Ellie.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Rowan has compensated for this void and lack of control in her life, through success in her career. This is where we see how she has identified with the masculine and begun to traverse the male dominated medical field. She is confident in her ability to play the game until she comes out on top.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The dragon among her trials, is when Rowan learns that her mother Ellie’s cancer has returned. Her boss Dr. Keck appears seemingly as an ogre guarding her bridge toward finding a solution. Which leads her ultimately toward experiencing the illusory boon of success.
She goes to see Daniel Lemle about the position at his company. He is enthusiastic about the aspects of Rowan Dr. Keck was critical of, and to have her on his team and her mother submitted to the trial. This is that male validation she has been yearning for. However as she gets to know him and his style further, her enthusiasm wavers.
Tumblr media
Once again she is encouraged to “run with the boys” to be a “killer”. And if she does this, she will succeed in retrieving the healing elixir for Ellie. However this means replacing an existing candidate in the trial with her mother.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is something that morally she can not do. Fed up and in grief, this moment shatters her composure so thoroughly that the power inside of her which she has all along been struggling with (and that her ordinary world was not capable of addressing) lashes out at Lemle to his demise.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
SPIRITUAL ARIDITY AND THE BLACKENING
Earlier when she is having a tryst with Max the bartender, we see how her intomacy is intentionally distant. She yearns for home, for companionship, but also doesn’t want to deal with the vulnerability that comes with it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
She compares the true love Max seeks, to something she experienced as a child with her literal and metaphorical shadow. She says it knew her thoughts and her secrets and had always loved her. But in the current state she is now, she looks back on this and dismisses it though the thought of it makes her wistful.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Rowan has ignored her shadow since she was young. Following her guilt and the passing of her mother, that’s now becoming impossible to keep doing. After Rowan flees her counselling session, dishonest with and in fear of herself, she is faced with a murder of crows perched by her car.
Tumblr media
In alchemy, the crow is associated with the stage of Nigredo, calcination, or the Blackening. This is a stage of cleansing through the burning of ingredients into ash, often associated with death. To Jung this is the Dark Night of the Soul. Robert Bly also ties crows to the Shadow and the need to face it. We see crows and smoke heavily featured in promotional material for the show.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The bulk of the season then goes on to follow Rowan as she begins her descent to the goddess and encounters the literal personification of her shadow, of her animus. Progressively fulfilling stages in the alchemical process…
End of Part One

@declermont / plotted starter.
Tumblr media
A nonstop flight between New Orleans and London is nearly nine hours. The Mayfair fortune means she can afford to fly first class, which grants her some measure of comfort, but all the comfort in the world couldn't soothe her restlessness. She chews the inside of her cheek until she tastes copper on her tongue. The metallic sweetness of her own blood makes her feel ill, but at least it's not as sickening as thinking about what she's running from, and why.
And then from London it's the train to Oxford, and then the cab to the university, nursing a bottle of tepid water and trying to ignore the gnawing hunger creeping up through her abdomen and into her chest, her throat, to sit at her tongue. And then from the university she has to walk to the lab, and then she has to stand there, duffel bag slung over her shoulder, the hand holding her water bottle shaking, while she argues with a very polite but firm woman who explains that no, she can't simply walk into the building without an appointment, all while trying to stay upright—
The scent of cinnamon and clove hits her without warning and she closes her eyes and takes in several shallow breaths; the world spins around her, the combination of travel and stress and her condition making her unsteady and uncomfortable in equal measure. When she opens her eyes it's to the sight of a man, tall and broad-shouldered, lovely in a way that makes her uneasy and reminds her, all too clearly, of Lasher.
That must make him Matthew Clairmont. And here she thought she was done with vampires.
"Dr. Clairmont." She clears her throat, takes a quick drink of her water, tries not to feel self-conscious for the way her hair hangs, limp and greasy, around her face (she hasn't showered yet, hasn't checked into a hotel, hasn't done anything but try to reach him) or the sweat glistening on her brow. There is very little of her mind that isn't consumed by anger and grief and fear and sorrow and the sickness of memory, but the corner that is free hates him on sight, as though her insecurity, her piteousness, were his fault.
"I'm Rowan Fielding." And then the rest of the name tumbles out of her; people do things for her that they wouldn't otherwise when they know that part of who she is. "Rowan Mayfair. I need your help. I really need your help."

For what it’s worth…
tl;dr
Ciprien - “three male characters orbiting Rowan in the show would've been one too many.” (Uh.. tell that to Beatrice Mayfair and Stuart Gordon)
Rowan - “Our job was to make sure that we get the best Rowan possible” (Always the best reason. I still can’t believe people had a meltdown over the color of her hair.)
Cortland and Carlotta - Now brother/sister, not uncle/niece: “making the family as concentrated and tight as possible seemed to work best dramatically.” (He’s supposed to be dead)
Lasher - “When we met Jack…it felt like our Lasher had stepped in front of us." (Explain it after Lasher is “born”, chromosomes and all)
Key/Emerald - “that question will be very definitively answered in episode 6.” (Whatever)
At least they’re owning what they did. …which in itself is a bit odd. How often does a producer/showrunner a give an interview to justify their decisions?
