#Dubai Love

[sophsun1]

Listen as though I'm the voice of God or an angel talking to you. Telling you this room doesn't matter, this night doesn't matter. You're not inconsequential or a junkie. You're a bright young reporter with a point of view. There are stories that need to be told. If things ever get bad again, these are the words you'll hear in your mind like a tape playing over and over, like a song stuck in your brain. These words will hold you up and carry you. They are your lifeline. That's a free baser I befriended for a few days at the drսg den. He told me to get my shit together and then he Richard Pryor'd in front of me. Everyone scrambled but I stuck around, watched him burn. What's always confused me was that, you know, he said those words to me, and he was already all burnt up. Figured I'd conflated the two events. But I didn't. Because it was you. I destroyed two marriages. I fuckеd up two daughters. But I stayed a journalist. I was never so lost I couldn't hold down a job.

Louis de Pointe du Lac & Daniel Molloy

Assad Zaman: Just on a very technical level it took me some time to sort of hone everything down into a space where the camera can pick you up because I am naturally quite sort of gangly and a little bit chaotic and on stage when you embody a character, when you work out the blocking it helps and you can really sort of let go. But here I had to learn to bring that energy inside and do something that I hadn't really done before which was emulate that energy through stillness.

I was fully dressed for the cold winter night in less than a few minutes. [Marius] put a black cape over my shoulders, and gave me gloves trimmed in miniver, and put a black velvet cap on my head. The shoes he chose were black leather boots, which he never wanted me to wear before. To him the ankles of the boys were beautiful, and he did not favor boots, though he did not mind if we wore them by day when he could not see. - THE VAMPIRE ARMAND

Louis “church wedding on the second date” du Lac constantly hitting Armand with “marriage is just a piece of paper 🙄” is maybe the funniest part of their relationship

Iwtvtober day 26 - dream

BONUS: what they were dreaming about

@lighthouseweeper thank you so much for letting me use your idea. It was really fun drawing it.

I love how when Louis is talking about Armand to Daniel in 1x05, he says: "Metronomic, my Rashid," in a low purr. He NEVER refers to ANY of his staff in a possessive way like that. It should have indicated to us right then that Louis' relationship with "Rashid" was not just that of a boss and his employee.

His first performance in Dubai where he broke the record.

While I was reading the repost hashtags, I remembered something. When the boys went solo, it was difficult to put the same amount of energy into each of them. So whenever someone released their song, I would listen, talk about it, force my friends and family members to listen and watch the music videos and blast it on the stereo so that the neighborhood knew what good music was.

Liam was one of the last to come out with his solo and I was so happy he decided to dance since he was such a good dancer but kept it to himself because the other boys weren't and he was so considerate that he knowingly used to goof up the steps to match their two left feet choreography. When boys used to perform in some shows or functions, I used to check how they were doing as if they were my children.

I saw the performance of Liam, and I was praying that a maximum number of fans would show up. I asked two of my friends to take their friends and colleagues to attend the show. One managed to get with a friend and saw him perform from afar, and she wasn't a fan of 1D. She told me how it was, but then I had already seen the videos posted by fans there.

I was so proud of him. I took a sigh of relief that he was doing well, and the fans didn't forget to shower him with love. He was used to being swarmed by the fans; it was less, but still, many chanted his name and asked for autographs.

It had become a habit of mine to check on the boys to see how everybody was doing, and if I didn't check on them, I used to feel like a horrible mother who had favorites. Till today I have the same habits. If I open one's account to check, I check others too. Including Liam. I still check. I know there won't be any update, but somewhere, I want some to shake and wake me up. I just want to feel like it was a bad dream, a very bad dream, and a notification comes Liam Payne posted a video. I wish that could happen.

Since the show has already shaken the books timeline and events up so much I'd love if they could walk Armand back from the multi million dollar tech bro he's sort of starting as, no more private jets, no more private islands please

I know he becomes a millionaire in queen of the damned to buy himself and Daniel luxury things/experiences/the island, but I feel like we are already starting the story here when we get introduced to him in the show, except it's a sort of mock version of the life he has with Daniel in Queen of the Damned.

The show presents an alternate history from the book that has Louis and Armand stay together after Paris, Armand and Daniels first meeting be at Daniel and Louis interview in 1973, Armand erases Daniels memories of him, Armand doesn't turn Daniel in the 80s, and Daniel ages 50 more years.

Instead of being in a relationship with Daniel, Armand has remained in his relationship with Louis in a very twisted parallel.

Instead of building a house on an island filled with cherished memories with Daniel, he built a concrete box in Dubai filled with loaded memorabilia to match his life with louis. They're surrounded by wealth and luxury, but it comes across cold and hollow.

Assume without Devi's Minion plotline from the 70s-80s happening (as far as we know), Armand would have had to adapt to the modern world, without Daniel, alongside Louis instead.

His hobbies he loved sharing with Daniel (from the book) are either absent altogether in season 1-2 or get reflected in a empty way with louis in Dubai. His interest in art, fashion, Interior decorating, technology are all very muted from the eccentric, eclectic, hyperfixations we know Armand from the books to have had.

SO in the next seasons I hope we see Armand post divorce, depression era 2, hoping around from hoarder apartment to hoarder apartment, I want filthy kitchens, wild outfits, books and movies scattered everywhere, tanks on every surface, cables wires and computers, every game system ever??

except instead of his interest being a source of happiness for him like in the book, they should make it a little self destructive.

I want him to spiral into his interest, I want him so out of his mind with self bought distractions he can't keep up with hiring staff anymore, he's unstable, he's on his own, he's on the city bus like everyone else, and trying not to think about how he's tanked his life.

I think that'd be interesting. A way to take his character from the book and twist it a little to match his current situation in the show.

Like Daniel is already a vampire now, he doesn't need to be sugar baby spoiled/swept off his feet by Armand in order to like him, Armand needs to be humbled even further, and once the false persona Armand built with Louis fades, Daniel will like him all the more for it, and possibly be the one to help him out of that low place.

going to freak out about my bestie Daniel again by talking about headcanons but to me he's like. not only half-Armenian half-Irish (yes Molloy is an Irish surname but Eric is Armenian people. so what do we do we make the sensible choice and split the difference. put that shit in your fics my rep is lacking) but also Jewish. not necessarily practicing but yk. it's called his mother grows up in the US in a household where her father's Armenian Orthodox and her mother's Jewish and takes a little bit of both but mainly from her mother and then she meets his raised-Catholic nebulously-agnostic Irish-American father and gives shit a shot. and here's Molloy in the midst of it all, born to wreck marriages fail at parenting his own kids and get his shit absolutely fucking rocked by two vamps in the 70s
