*taps mic* is this thing on? Yeah okay so every vampire in the vampire chronicles is turned at critical a moment in their lives and beyond just the body they are in when they are turned, their mentality stays at that standstill for their entire immortality, Lestat was turned against his will, he was clinging onto Magnus begging him to be freed, so he’s constantly seeking freedom and only finding loneliness and thus turning back to people again and again, however he can’t STAND being told what to do, since he desires agency in his life so desperately, Armand was turned after years and years of abuse and lack of control but such a desire for genuine love, by a man he ‘loved’ so wholly who he felt was barring his love from him, he needs control in his life, he needs a ‘master’ but he does not desire it, it does not fulfill him, he is trapped in a room but the door is unlocked! Louis was mourning his brother, he felt like an utter failure and so he’s always seeking family, seeking people he can care for, he can coddle, he can prove he is good too, but he loves people who either cannot stand coddeling and need a sense of looseness to live (Lestat) or people who grow out of coddling who prove to Louis he will always fail the people he loves (Claudia), Claudias turning, in many MANY ways mirrors lestats in that it was against her will, she was stolen from her home, and in her immortality she desires freedom but unlike Lestat does not have the agency/ form to get it, she will always be small, she will always be looked down on, even by Lestat who cannot deny how much she is just like him *taps mic* ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME!! NONE OF THEM CAN BREAK THE CYCLE!!! TO BREAK IT WOULD BE TO UNDO THE VERY FIBER OF THEIR IMMORTAL SELVES!! THE CYCLE IS THE BLOOD THEY DRINK IT IS THE HEART IN THEIR CHEST AND IT ROLLS AND ROLLS DOWN THE MOUNTAINS AND VALLEYS OF THEIR LOVE FOR EACH OTHER AND IT CAN NEVER BE STOPPED BECAUSE THEY WILL NEVER STOP LOVING EACH OTHER!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not to be harsh or anything but which part of France are you from ? because the accent must be insane if your French is worse than theirs 😂

For Sam, I get that he is Australian and that it must be tough, but his french was incomprehensible without subtitles. I concede that Assad was immaculate for a non speaker, though ; but since Armand is not supposed to be French, that his pronunciation and understanding of the language was infinitely better than Lestat’s and Nicky’s was cringe AF.

Roxane (Madeleine) IS French so no qualm here (but the difference with the others in scenes in french was made all the more flagrant : the one with her aggressors for example) ; all the extras in the second season were atrocious and pissed me off personally : it’s really not difficult to get a native for a small speaking part, I hate when they do that, it takes me out of the story 😒 I mean, the killed gendarmes in episode 2 and 8 were clearly French so proof it is possible.

Sorry, nothing against you or anything but no, butchering was clearly made.

btw I’m french and it really warmed my heart when I heard the characters of iwtv speaking french without butchering tf out of it lmaoo . I think that their french is better than mine lol

hi my name is the vampire armand and I have short curly black hair (that's how I got my name) with shiny glass nails and a big bow in my hair and bright orange eyes like limpid tangerines and a lot of people tell me I look like a botticelli angel (AN: if u don't know who botticelli is get da hell out of here!). i’m not related to lestat de lioncourt but i wish i was because he's a major fucking hottie. i’m a vampire but my teeth are straight and white. i have warm brown skin. i’m also a maitre and i go to a coven called the theatres de vampires in paris where i’m the leader (i’m five hundred). i'm a goth (in case you couldn't tell) and i wear mostly black. i love haute topique and i buy all my clothes from there. for example today i was wearing a black shirt with the top five buttons undone and a big coat and black combat boots. i was wearing black eyeliner and blood. i was watching a show in the box with lestat. we were going at it on the floor, which I was very happy about. lestat’s mortal boyfriend stared at me. i put up my middle finger at him.

Something I haven't seen getting mentioned yet is the scene of Lestat screaming "she will be miserable and you will love her, and it will spiral beyond your reach" being about Nicki.

Like that was a trauma response. That man was back in France, learning that some people would always be miserable with the gift and that sometimes the real act of mercy is letting someone die.

Armand next episode: “Lestat was resplendent in his fur lined red cloak, his golden curls cascading down to his shoulders in shimmering waves… and his depressed boyfriend was there too, with his stupid hair and boring clothes, a real “nothingburger” of a man, to use the common vernacular.”

[obiwhat]

thinking about what armand said to lestat when nicki’s transformation went wrong.

“too fragile. i could’ve warned you.”

and then there was this scene:

i’m just THINKING man.

I love nicolas de lenfent sm bcus he’s literally the dead wife trope but if the dead wife was a self hating miserable asshole who drained the energy and joy from any room she was in and silently resented the mc and wanted to see him suffer

A rare moment of bliss before all hell broke loose. I wonder what might have happened, had Lestat not been born to Darkness...

[allmylovebelongstoyou]

We as a fandom are not talking nearly enough about this

[brian-kinney-apologist]

feeling so normal and sane about armand cut nickis’s hands off conformation hbu

[sam-reid]

And I knew, knew in some full and simultaneous fashion, that the violin was telling everything that happened to Nicki. It was the darkness exploded, the darkness molten, and the beauty of it was like the glow of smouldering coals; just enough illumination to show how much darkness there really was.
