#armand when i catch you

[mossycakes]

watching my husband and his daughter and her girlfriend get sentenced to death and shaking my head the entire time so they know i think its wrong

[inheroes--wetrust]

the entirety of that fucking trial and lestat looked at louis TWICE. once to acknowledge him in the beginning and once at the very end of the apology. he talks directly to claudia only when they're arguing. everything else, every scripted line that he has to say, he turns to face them for the benefit of the audience but he's just staring off into space, he's looking above them or off to the side, he will not look them in the eye unless HE is speaking to them with his own words.

god he does not want to be there and he was tortured and manipulated into it and he cannot bear to look at his family while the coven forces him to sign their death certificates

[waterghoulcalamity]

i was doing my weekly rewatch and i don't know if this is cornplating or if everyone already noticed and i'm late but i just noticed that, when lestat is talking about meeting louis, you can see the caricature of lestat being mind-controlled on the screen behind him and the caricature-lestat and man-lestat then align perfectly to make it seem like lestat is being mind-controlled.... like this is so genius but also it doesn't get any more unsubtle than this jsksjsj

[pinkponygrl]

and if I speak-

[lazyasexual]

Armand, probably the most powerful vampire in the entire coven, that possess various powers including mind controll and time control: I could not prevent it

Daniel coming in and destroying Louis' marriage in two weeks is amazing work.

[mangle-my-mind]

"Do you remember what you told me years ago, before we ever left home? You said it the very day that he came up the mountains with the merchants to give me the red cloak. You said that his father was so angry with him for his violin playing that he was threatening to break his hands. Do you think we find our destiny somehow, no matter what happens? I mean, do you think that even as immortals we follow some path that was already marked for us when we were alive? Imagine it, the coven master cut off his hands."

I feel insane

[baelavelaryon]

"he wants you in pieces for the satisfaction of putting them back together" me when every accusation is a confession

[lioncourt1985]

just read the first chapter of the iwtv epilogue in the vampire lestat

[shortviolet]

HE'S MAKING HER WEAR THE COSTUME 24/7 ????

[caeliflammae]

anne rice said "erotica", the fans said "oh hm this is horror and abuse! let's turn this into a deeply upsetting character study about how abuse can create cruel people who perpetuate cycles."

iwtv (2022) writers said "this is a literal fucking saw trap" the fans said "but what if they were in love <3"

[drunkeddiediaz]

WHAT ARE YOU 🥺 FOR?? YOU DID THIS!!

[furiousfinnstan]

Mae & "Qimir" / Louis & "Armand" parallels

[apollodreams]

The "are you asking or making me?" Scene makes me sick to my stomach. Armand's face and voice and mannerisms changing when he says that line, the realization and disappointment on Louis' face, Louis pausing his hand right before he touches Armand's face in case he flinches away from the touch I'm going insane

KILLING MYSELFFGGAHAHJJHQH

[anarchistbitch]

Delainey saying Claudia in her final moments looks to lestat hoping he will save her..
