how I slept last night knowing that s3 of iwtv is secured, rockstar lestat is happening, akasha is on her way, loustat are endgame, ghost!claudia is a possibility, sam reid is not allowed to cut his hair short for a couple more years, daniel is now a vampire and the devil's minion is real:

while i see where some if it comes from, i feel like way more people took “as a former sex slave, armand is disgusted by teenage daniel’s sexual behavior” from the torture scene and not “daniel has been prostituting himself for drugs presumably for years, and armand both relates to and is repulsed by daniel as a form of projection” and i think that’s extremely fascinating.

like it’s a very consistent vampire trait that they only really get up in arms about social issues that affected them in their mortal life, and even then only when it would directly affect them now. i.e, claudia and louis being aware of and condemning racism but not really caring about european nazism despite very real parallels.

and there is. a big difference. between the ultimately consensual gross misogyny of the paper bag incident and armand being sold to a brothel as a child, then kept as a rich man’s catamite experiencing regular sexual assult.

AND armand is a man who does not experience that kind of day-to-day indignity. those are completely separate circumstances and armand doesn’t give any reaction to the memory aside from what it means for daniel. in fact, that remark has very little to do with how armand feels and everything to do with daniel’s lifelong feelings of guilt for constantly being a fucking asshole.

and the vampire armand, specifically, is not a creature prone to sympathizing with people who share his struggles anyway. especially not strangers he doesn’t know. look at the way he treats claudia, specifically. she’s in a spot similar to him, both growing up and now. constantly robbed of agency, both infantilized and adultified depending on what’s convenient, and in the books of course they’re both child vampires. and he doesn’t offer her any compassion whatsoever because he’s the type of person to take his suffering out on others and reenact his trauma with himself in marius’s place.

like mr. i-constantly-mind-control-my-lover, duchess of unsafe bdsm practices, is not offended by daniel’s understanding (or lack thereof) of power dynamics or safe and respectful sex. he’s throwing the boy across the kitchen because he doesn’t understand what makes danny special when, despite all similarities, he himself is not.

edit: i went into a whole rant in the reblogs about the importance of sexuality and sexual autonomy and sexual perversion as a theme in this show if any one interested

thinking about daniel molloy absolutely mesmerised by the vecchio painting in a trip to louvre. he’s in his late 40s, a "romantic holiday". and he is unmoving in the paintings presence, drawn to the man kneeling on the right. a connection he cannot explain. his wife buys him a postcard with the art on, he uses it as a bookmark for months. there’s a smudge on it, damaged, where his fingers had caressed that ancient face far too often.

i will be really really shocked if they dont do the past devils minion route. not just because that means that armand and daniel were looking at each other Like That throughout all of s2 for nonreason, but also because theyll lose the potential of the most incredible moment ever:

in qotd, armand asks daniel to "ask him if it was raining" one night several years ago, to comment on memory and how unreliable it was. i always thought daniel asking louis if it was raining in s1 was kinda unprompted, but wouldnt it be amazing if theyve set up a parallel to that ?? i cant stop thinking about it lmao

"He threw back his head. He gave way to ringing laughter. He lifted a handful of water again and let it spill down my chest. He opened his mouth and for a moment I saw the flash of something very wrong and dangerous, teeth such as a wolf might have." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "[...] I saw him staring, beastlike, from his chair, as if some ravener had come into him and banished all his civilized faculties and left him thus, hungry, with glazed eyes and reddening mouth, the glittering blood finding its myriad little paths over the silky margin of his lips.

He rose, a drugged thing, and came towards me with a rhythm of movements that was alien and struck the coldest terror in my heart. His fingers flashed, closed, beckoned."

Okay but what if season 3 is all about Daniel hunting down Armand, who keeps avoiding him, but in the process Daniel remembers more and more of his past with Armand and how they were in love and together for 10+ years and then! At the very end of the season Daniel finally tracks Armand down and the first thing he says is like, "Hey, Boss." (iykyk). And Armand basically has an aneurysm because it means Daniel's memory was restored!

[dykesynthezoid]

I really do think they could’ve already shot Daniel’s turning, it makes all the comments about “oh we don’t know if we’d want to recreate that set…” and Assad creating an insane rpf scenario for no reason make sense. Like they are soooo fucking with us. Also funny to think about bc it means Assad had the experience of actually shooting the turning scene influencing his little fantasy moment. Hot and steamy indeed

armand: you’re mine, beautiful boy
