#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

something about louis being severely traumatized by his fall in s1e5 even as he recalls it to Daniel a century later and how his house in Dubai is literally so high that they can feel the building sway from time to time.

(really trying not to be cynical with the show BUT)

it seems to fit well with how loumand's house is full of symbolism- with how louis is literally caged in the home, he doesn't have his coffin, is in one of the hottest countries in the world while being "sunchallenged" and can't really access his books that are high up to the ceilings. the house being really high is just another way to torment him imo.

"I protect louis even when he can't himself" (not verbatim) in the sense that armand has "justifications" for these choices. Dubai has privacy, the building provides safety, the tint protects you from the sun-you don't need a coffin,, etc.

(louis not using his coffin is also interesting to me. thought it was the trauma with s2e7 aftermath, but he had it in sanfran? although that could just be there out of necessity? will unpack later)

thinking about how triggering that might be; the feeling of falling every time you feel a shake or you hear a groan. (and with heightened senses)

Gayboy Malloy you are near and dear to my heart

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

[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

[apinchofm]

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

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

[dulacdat]

casting assad as armand was the worst possible decision to ME!!! I hate armands ass but I look at assad's perfect face... and its just like??? I was not meant to experience such conflicting emotions.

and taking this to real life, assad is the perfect choice for someone described so beautifully!? and its more conflicting to me cause BOOOOO i love his perfect face, brown eyes and stupid little frown.

[mouthy-depressed-bitch]

i made this off the back of a different edit, it didnt even get its own project let alone sequence, only uploaded it to tiktok at oomfs request and it then did better performance wise than anything i spent actual time and effort editing so fml i guess lol.
