Daniel's memories of Alice being memories of Armand

Daniel first mentions Alice in episode 2 of season 1. He's served a dessert that he mentions he ate after asking his first wife Alice to marry him in Paris (a city significant to Armand). Why are Louis and Armand serving him something that would remind him of Alice? Hmm. He goes on to describe a unique physical trait she had:

I remember finding this a weird detail when I first watched this scene. But after the scene of Armand taking off his contacts to reveal his vamp eyes, I feel like it could be a reference to that. This still felt like a stretch but the proposal scene from today's episode convinced me.

Louis asks Daniel what Alice said when he proposed to her and Daniel suddenly has a memory of Armand from the past.

The timing of this memory as he's being asked about Alice can't be a coincidence. He looks at Armand in confusion. And when he finally admits that she said no. It's ARMAND who replies that she wanted to say yes.

Why would Armand know this? Why would he feel the need to tell Daniel this after seeing him looking wrecked by the memory?

And then there's Louis' remark about Daniel feeling more comfortable holding Alice's hand in Paris than in America:

Earlier in the episode, Louis talks about Paris being less racist than America. I think this line is about him thinking Paris is also less homophobic than America.

It's not the first time Louis hinted at Daniel being bi or gay.

I don't think this memory is about Daniel literally asking Armand to marry him. But pretty much the equivalent when you are a human in love with a vampire. He probably asked Armand to turn him so they could spend eternity together and Armand said no.

natsume about masakiyo-san: i'm sure he felt he couldn't force her to bear the burdens he did, but he couldn't abandon his family.

natori to matoba: to inherit something, and bear its burdens…the true weight of such a thing is greater than i can know. but for now, this is what i think: a heavy burden can be shared.

TIM DRAKE: ROBIN #7 YOU WILL ALWAYS BE FAMOUS

[fascinationstreetmp3]

in an interview eric bogosian suggested something along the lines of "daniel looking back in time with vampire powers and seeing himself with one of his wives" and i had this thought... this concept...

daniel getting a really vivid flashback or vision of the day he first proposed to alice, just like the dream he had of polynesian mary's, or maybe it's more like he's actually there and watching it all go down in front of him. daniel and alice are sitting at a table. she's pregnant. younger daniel's getting a ring out, and older daniel is bracing for the pain of that rejection to come flooding back all over again.

he shows alice the ring and asks her to marry him. but instead of the expected "no", alice just sighs and says "yeah, sure, whatever." all of a sudden it hits him— he thought when that happened, it was during the second attempt, but it wasn't. this is when daniel asked alice to marry him for the first time, the only time, and that's what she said. this is how it happened. were they even in paris? why does it suddenly feel like he doesn't care enough to remember if they were in paris or not? they leave without ordering any dessert. when did he eat that strawberry dish?

and more fucking importantly just who the hell WAS it that he knows he asked? who was it that said no? who wanted to say yes but hadn't been given a reason to trust him, if it wasn't alice?
