#and praying for the vampire armand

[homosexualhomophobe]

i can’t wait for season 3 of iwtv, in which three of our favorite princesses with a disorder will be competing to see who can piss off the rest of the vampire population the most.

Devil's Minion fans when Armand traps Daniel half alive in the San Francisco appartment for days to psychologically torture him:

[waterghoulcalamity]

sorry to all of you who were expecting lestat and daniel to not get along and for daniel to be sick of lestat immediately and bully him constantly because, from where i see it, lestat is exactly the kind of person current daniel would want to surround himself with. he's rock, he's sex, he's drugs and he's party. he's messy and daniel clearly is enjoying himself to the fullest ever since getting turned, what better way to live life like it's a party than becoming friends with a rockstar? not to mention daniel wants to track armand down, what better way to do it than befriend armand's one person he could never let go of? you guy are not seeing the vision

[edit] another thing: i believe it made more sense for daniel to be more hostile towards louis because remember that louis did try to kill him when he was young. also (this is is something that eric has confirmed) daniel doesn't like feeling bullied so he's going to bully back, he doesn't like being treated condescendingly especially by someone who tried to take his life so he's going to be condescending too, and it's not like he's going to stop being louis's friend because he became friends with lestat, if anything, we're about to see some really fun dynamics from those three next season !!!

“I’m the quiet you’ve been longing for” daniels stronger than me I would’ve folded immediately. on my knees expeditiously.

Armandstat you have to stop. Your beef too spicy. Your conflict too catastrophic. Your hatesex will trigger nuclear explosion from fusing two radioactive atoms together. You'll kill us armandstat.

[cupids-fiction]

i imagine armand, a creature of vagueness and age and manipulation, finds comfort in daniel's love for fact and meticulous recounting of every detail of every event

look the chance of this happening is like 1% but in my head this is how season 2 is going to end:

dubai is over. what happened to loumand? no idea. is daniel turned? probably but who's to say. after whatever drama goes down, we cut to a few months later.

interview with the vampire has been published. daniel is at a signing, line out the door, etc, etc. we watch him sign books for a few people. a book is placed in front of him, he takes it automatically, flips it open, says, "who should i make it out to?" the camera pans out wide, and we see lestat in modern clothes. lestat smiles and says, "the vampire lestat."

daniel's eyes widen in recognition, and then, doomed acceptance, becuase he knows where the fuck this is going. he says, "oh, motherf---"

cut, end season.

Was thinking about how Armand may have popped the Big Question to Daniel, and this gem was born. #sorry/not sorry

Vamptember Day 12 - Beautiful Boy

{tool - parabol}

Being caged in Marius’s arms makes Daniel think of the portico at the Villa of Mysteries. Arms like the steadfast ancient columns, his bones like stone. 

Feels nice, though.

Daniel shifts in Marius’s lap, his legs stretched out, ankles crossed on the arm of the couch. Marius cradles in him there, teeth hard in Daniel’s neck, thumb stroking the opposite artery as he takes swallow after swallow.

It’s so very like him, really, sort of gentlemanly, and yet fear needles through all the same. Perfunctory, until he rips the almost-healed wounds open again. Clinical, until Daniel hears the small grunt, or he gently tugs at Daniel’s earlobe, or he squeezes the inside of Daniel’s thigh. He thinks Marius must be full of shit, every time he lectures about how vampires lack carnality.

But he thinks of the Villa of Mysteries, for some reason. Caged in. If Marius decided not to let him go, Daniel wouldn’t be strong enough to fight him.

Doesn’t want to go anywhere, though. He sighs happily into the pain, shivering as Marius’s nails drag across the back of his neck. He’s as carnal as everyone else, at the end of the day, once there’s blood in his mouth. And Daniel knows he’s gotten ruthless when he hunts, even though he tries to hide it.

His eyes close and he thinks about that night. Marius must be able to see it, and Daniel doesn’t mind. He hopes, as he sinks into the memory, that the pictures might become even richer.

Armand, walking quietly, in and out of the moonlight as they pass through the portico, through the stripes of the shadows. Warm and lifelike in his stolen denim jacket, that still smelled like the human he stole it from. Cigarettes and sweat and cologne, like a normal mortal boy.

The house had been so hollow at night, and Daniel hadn’t been able to see the frescos very well in the dark. Armand had stared and stared, though, trying to read meaning in them, so very quiet. 

“I think he wondered about you,” Daniel mumbles, without meaning to. He closes his eyes and reaches to touch the back of Marius’s head, as if to hold him there. He doesn’t have the power to, of course, but Marius is pliant. Allows Daniel to stroke his hair. He remembers being on his knees, for the sacrament, like giving head. Remembers all the times he held the back of Armand’s head, just like this, while spilling into his mouth.

Marius bites hard, and tears at his skin, opening a larger gash. Large enough for the tip of his tongue, and the sensation of it, being touched on the inside where he shouldn’t, zings down to his elbows. 

Armand’s face had been so ruddy and human, his cheeks a little pink. Full cheeks, like he never quite grew out of his baby fat. It was easy not to see it sometimes, when he could be so cold and alien. And maybe that night in Pompeii was the first time Daniel really noticed. Something vulnerable about him, when he could go soft with curiosity. Looked like a child.

He’s seen Armand in Marius’s visions. Messy little thing. Always glowing warm in the firelight—Marius doesn’t have any memories of Armand in the sun, either. 

“That was the night he told me he loved me,” Daniel sighs. Dreamy sigh, because he doesn’t hate the memory. Because Marius’s tongue is in him, and the dizziness of blood loss is getting cozy. He sinks into the pain, the heat, his toes curling as he hears Marius swallow again. “He must have been thinking about you.”

Marius shudders. He grunts, and shifts Daniel in his lap. The ancient blood tingles in Daniel’s throat as Marius bites his tongue and heals the wound, and lingers there while it closes up. Licks over the healed skin in reverence.

“I didn’t know at the time,” Daniel mumbles. Sleepy now, as the pleasure rushes through. Coming down from the high, and the sun is coming. He cuddles against Marius’s body, rubs his face into Marius’s hair. “Didn’t know about you. It was just the next place I went. But he must have been thinking about you. Chased us both there.”

Daniel remembers Armand’s face, his eyes, as he stepped into the moonlight, as he searched the walls for clues. When he leans in to kiss Marius on the mouth, he tastes his own blood. 

He was looking for you.

y'all i'm gonna be honest i did not go into iwtv 2022 completely blind i began watching it because of the edits. I was especially intrigued by armand's character (didn't know his name at the time tho)

when he was introduced in the show as Rashid and daniel was lowkey attacking him for his Isamic belief and love for vampires and questioning how that works.... i was like ??? omg me core??? My Islamic belief and love for gay vampire shit are also at odds with each other omg new kin alert!! even when more sus stuff started surfacing i had blind faith in him because i was like that's my man!!!

anyways after the reveal happened still love my little gremlin armand but hoping real rashid gets a comeback coz i need someone to project my religious trauma on :))))))
