#daniel’s now doing the same

Daniel taking more of a backseat during this session is, IMO, not only in deference to what is a highly traumatic memory for Louis, but also a calculated move on his part that speaks to the longer game he’s trying to play. He wants to take down Armand and remembering San Francisco just made it a real personal vendetta. But Armand can deflect Daniel’s blunt provocations (or at least suppress his reaction to them) pretty easily so that’s not going to work. Armand’s only weakness at this point in time is Louis. So it’s not only essential that Daniel stay on Louis’ good side, but also carefully nudge Louis to seeing the darker side to and duplicitous nature of Armand’s actions. This has already proven to work for him: at the end of episode 5, Daniel, in an uncharacteristically gentle tone, calmly led Louis to the conclusion he already reached about what (who) happened to both their memories. He’s indeed very careful all throughout the recollection of the trial to not be too flippant or interject too often. But when he does, outside of a few exceptions, he deliberately calls attention to Armand: his position in the narrative, the scope of his actions, emphasizing what he failed to do. It’s not quite enough to completely turn Louis against Armand, but seeds have been planted and I don’t believe it will take much more nudging from Daniel to send it all over the edge.

messy polycule for the win
#unrelated but looking at this pics is now making me think about those hand placements#louis putting his hand on armand next and armand doing the same to daniel but on the opposite side???#armand's arm in lestat's mouth#then lestat putting his arm on louis' heart#do these hand placements literally just sum up the entire relationships or am i overthinking this#with louis and armand's neck ones its like in a close and affectionate hold but also traditionally the place vampires bite on#so like maybe it does show the love they have whilst simultaneously the way they're using them#then armand and lestat's more aggressive and sharp but still that air of affection (mostly from armand the worlds biggest lesmand shipper)#and then louis and lestat on the heart cause they always carry each other in their hearts from that moment on and they are endgame#iwtv#interview with the vampire#amc iwtv#tvc#the vampire chronicles#louis de pointe du lac#lestat de lioncourt#the vampire armand#daniel molloy#danloumandstat#lesmand#loustat#loumand#danmand#danlou#danstat

If I think about the double standard and the disparity with which the media handled Daniel in comparison to everyone else I may lose my mind.
#i genuinely feel like im in bizarro world. karun chandok the fucking donkey being like:#“you have to feel for checo . he was doing so well in sq1 :( ”#in comparison to the way they viciously circled around daniel for medicore performances let alone bad ones#similar with Naomi just now. i cant believe im gonna defend Perez in the same breath but for her to say;#“Lawson has done everything to deserve checos seat. he has ticked all the boxes” ????? bitch what boxea are you talking about?#she literally said the only thing he needs to work on is his “temperament” would love to know what shes on lol#DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED ON LAZENBY HES SUCH A DUMB FUCKING RATTTTTTT#the way hes like “why is Lawson getting so much heat for complaining about sergio? Yuki has been doing it for years!”#well yuki has been in the 'Junior team' for 4 years now#what the everloving fuck is going on in the sport#obviously we all know how the media shapes the narrative but its genuinely still so jarring to see the standard they held daniel to#and the callousness with which they treated him

Soulmate aus are so interesting in an iwtv context. Like for humans it's easy, right? They get their soulmate mark, they find their soulmate, or maybe they don't, and they live their life. For vampires though? Do vampiric soulmates even exist? How could they when the soulmate marks are relics of their human life? When the other person who has the mark will be dead before their life as a vampire has even begun? Or were they always fated to become a vampire? Did the universe take that into account? Will they have to wait some hundreds of years for their soulmate to be born? Their soulmate could be anywhere, any time. Hell, their soulmate could be the person they just drained. Who knows. Even if they were somehow able to find them, what are the chances they'd stay together for eternity? It is eternity after all. Not even the universe or fate can guarantee that.
#but then like uggghhhh thinking about iwtv soulmate au fics and like. they're not soulmates or meant to be but they choose each other anyway#their soulmate could be rotting in the ground or not even in existence yet. maybe they knew them in their human life. or vampire life#but nothing is a guarantee. and isn't it much more profound to choose your own companion anyhow? to love and choose them?#(little do they realize that's what a soulmate is. and even though they might not have the mark it's the same thing. to love and choose)#thinking about louis and armand specifically. like both of them would have Feelings about this i'm sure#louis and lestat are soulmates ofc. ofc there's some string of fate strangling them and they have to figure out what that means#i feel like louis would be resentful of it. like he loves lestat obviously but their relationship is turbulent at best so during the lows#louis 100% resents the universe and god and fate for tying the two of them together#lestat would assume it's all sunshine and roses now that he's found his soulmate and kind of assume it'll automatically work out?#and they'd have to come to terms with the fact that while they are soulmates#their relationship and what it is and how it goes isn't preordained. they still have to figure it out themselves#meanwhile armand and daniel aren't soulmates#god armand doesn't know who his is and he is very like. not melancholy#but he definitely holds that in his chest along with the other things that were taken from him#daniel for sure met his soulmate but like it was nothing compared to armand#and daniel doesn't really buy into the whole romanticization of soulmates anyway#armand kind of does and once they start their relationship he'd definitely have angst about preventing daniel from finding his soulmate#in this universe that could be another reason he tampered with daniel's memories (assuming that's what happened in the amc canon)#to give daniel a chance to live a full human life. to give him the chance to find his soulmate#but then daniel lives a life. he meets his soulmate. and at the end of it all he still chooses armand#and claudia? she just wants someone to choose her. she doesn't care if it's her soulmate or not. she doesn't care about that#maybe she used to romanticize it. having someone guaranteed. but she's seen soulmates hurt each other. both in her human and vampire life#and she knows it doesn't matter what fate or the universe says. people's choices and actions are their own#and so when madeleine chooses her they don't have the marks but claudia thinks maybe this is what a soulmate is after all#interview with the vampire#louis de pointe du lac#armand#claudia#daniel molloy#lestat de lioncourt

The "Daniel is only hyped cause he laughs and smiles a lot" is genuinely the worst take you can have about this lmao.
Daniel Ricciardo is, along with Lewis, THE most recognizable face and name in motorsport outside of the F1 fans bubble. Therefore, he is extremely valuable in terms of marketability. He is also an 8-time race winner. For that to be dismissed and to say he's average as if the past 2 years erased all his accomplishments is insane lmao.
Being an accomplished driver AND one of the most marketable athletes in your sport makes you valuable as fuck.
#my post#and i am not a delulu daniel girlie lmao#i say it how it is#this move is gonna need to prove a lot#and i feel bad for nyck not getting anything from anyone#but the way some *max fans* are acting is sooo dumb lmao#you can not like him#you can think he's gonna flop whatever#but to dismiss his accomplishments and his power in the sport?#do you hear yourself? do you not know who he is?#i am a delulu max girlie and i go to war for him#but he is NOT on the same caliber of marketability#outside of dutchies and hardcore max fans#which is why max and daniel as a duo is so powerful cause they balance each other out#and daniel can bring out the best in max#the max we the hardcore fans get to see *very rarely* but others dont#come on now lmao#the think pieces are so weird#and the constant digs are also weird#you know you can black list his name#right???#ha ha so funny daniel flopped at mclaren ha ha yuki is gonna outperform#some of you need to learn when your jokes go from funny to annoying as shit

| Dadniel AU |
Ladies and gentlemen, I introduce you to a Dadniel AU! It's basically Daniel, Jasper, and Muack stranded in Antarctica
Idea: Daniel has been searching for a good place to build a temple in Xemüg's honor in Antarctica and by some weird coincidence Muack and Jasper (Jasper was basically just following the Platypus) managed to find where the cultist was. Muack wanted to bite Daniel's leg instead of his hand this time and Jasper just wanted to get his Platypus friend and go back to Spooky Island but ended up in Antarctica and finding someone who looked eerily similar to his best friend.
I have no idea where I'm going with this but I wanted Dadvid content and since there were no new ones I made this Dadniel AU between Daniel the cult leader taking care of the ghost of his enemy's best friend and a Platypus that probably wants him dead. (Tags have more info) ( •͈ᴗ•͈)
#camp camp#camp campbell#camp camp daniel#camp camp jasper#cc jasper#cc daniel#do not ship them#Jasper would probably be the same age as Daniel if HE WERE alive but in this case he is still a CHILD#Dadniel AU#Jasper is basically a walking talking sign that disproves Daniel's entire cult thing#Daniel first wanted to kill him so he could “ascend” but since Jasper is already dead so-#he did the next best thing: Get Jasper to join his cult#it didn't work#stuff happens and now Daniel is babysitting his enemy's best friend's ghost#who would have guessed

Evil Dead Rise (2023)

Ngl I do want to go to the tour, and I *cloud* technically. But deep down I am still a little guy and would most likely have to attend with my father, plus the travel to the nearest venue. (which isn't super far, but still a long train ride, several hours plus booking a hotel for overnight.)
I simply cannot bear the idea of sitting next to my father while Dan and Phil make the most explicit gay jokes as I slowly die inside.
But i have never been to one of their tours... It is tempting...maybe I'll go and lock my dad in a hotel room lmaooo (/j)
#I will be debating bringing it up for a few months now i guess#it may sell out#please#I want to go on my own tbh#my Dad isn't homophobic#but I would rather be eaten by rats then bear the shame#I Love Dan and Phil but their humor would be hard to bear with my old man staring in bewilderment#dan and phil#dnp#daniel howell#phil lester#dan howell#dan and phil games#ruaggghhh#do i bite the bullet?#screaming into the void#are other phannies in the same boat or am I just a anxious loser who clings onto my parents legs (/hj)#*sigh*#might have to sit it out#my parents don't evdn know I watch Dnp#very chill people. but DnP are just--#well they arr unique ♡#*are#screaming#crying.#unsure

I’m seeing so many people being critical of the reporters asking Max questions about what is going on today. But like that’s their job? I haven’t seen anyone being rude?( so far)
If you want to be mad at someone be mad at the people that created this situation in the first place and Jos for not keeping his mouth firmly shut.
#like I wasn’t thrilled either when I saw Daniel being asked about his poor performance#it’s uncomfortable yes but it’s their job.#this does not include the fucking rude ones that happened on occasion but overall people were just doing their job#same as they are now#f1#max verstappen#saudi gp 2024

i think that viewing the little hope relationships as just ‘family’ ( specifically : blood family, ones with traditional roles and relationships, one bred from a nuclear familial structure ) has a habit of dismissing them entirely. it is not blood that binds them together, nor is it family structures, and throughout every iteration of their lives things change. sometimes they’re merely neighbors with a slim portion of blood relation, sometimes they’re bound by flimsy paper or war, and sometimes they’re students at a college following their professor around. the nature of their relationships change, as do their circumstances and surroundings, but they ( as a mismatched unit ) are eternally bound and divided by a child and an inherent, unescapable tragedy. the important aspect of their relationships is that they are agonized individuals who are stuck together and wouldn’t like to be. the important theme between them is that despite their determined suffering, all the bad ways they clash, and in spite of a bubbling self loathing so awful that it literally kills them, they have found love and comfort in each other anyway, or perhaps have realized a love that has always been there. there’s no ‘i love you as a daughter’ between angela and taylor, just as much as there isn’t any ‘i love you as a sibling’ between dennis and tanya. they just love each other. even the clarke family, arguably the most familial bond they have, still isn’t traditional. none of them are blood and all of them are strangers inside their own home. they don’t look alike and they don’t share dna and they typically don’t care for the facade of a family either, more content to treat each other like roommates at best, and that’s fascinating because why would they care? why would standard labels matter to souls as ancient as theirs? it’s just another flesh they adorn, it’s just another pain they’ll carry and shape and hate. idk! i just think forcing titles on it all is rather boring in nature, and actively hinders the genuine relationships there, in an attempt to have a rulebook of sorts to follow. i also just loathe how the found family trope is constantly turned into a literal family, when it was made to spit in the face of a nuclear family structure. but that’s just me <3
#my posts.#if you believe in the reincarnation theory than HOW can you only view the relationships through a family lense#in two out of three of the timelines we see — they are not family!! not all of them anyway.#they put on different titles but their bonds remain the same.#all the masks in the world cant change their instinctive feelings for each other. good AND bad!#there is a lot of ‘you cannot hide from yourself’ in lh and i do think that’s important#they are always themselves. no matter what time period they’re from or how they’re raised or how different they now are. etc#so viewing things as like ‘oh they’re father/son’ doesnt do much for me#joseph and abraham start out as equals and close friends despite their age difference. and you see that friendship between john and andrew!#at least more than a typical parent-child dynamic#daniel and taylor are lovers and it’s heavily implied their feelings for each other have always been intense and more romantic in nature#despite their original label as siblings#so on so forth. john and angela being married in past lives is sweet but it never becomes their main reason for caring about each other#angela ( even at the end of things ) still mocks the idea of being married to john and actively doesn’t care for it.#but that doesn’t negate her love for him — romantic and otherwise!#again idk!! little hope has some of the best relationships ive ever seen and i think its because of this aspect#at their core they’re soulmates in horror. which is a better way to view them as opposed to family imo#the group entirely is far from traditional and i love it!!! i love a love and pain that transcends time plot#and lh actively does it so well …#i could say more on this but im a bit hungover and stuff alas ugh#but. idk! in my eyes they are NOT a nuclear family lol. not even the clarkes were one#their characters and relationships are so profound BECAUSE they are stripped of labels in my eyes. they are all an exposed nerve of a thing

louis really is the unreliable narrator ever truly like he recalls his birthdate a year off, it was winter when his brother died but also it should've been near autumn and by the time his sister was getting married? he leaves out certain details deliberately, whether consciously— did you eat the baby?, or unconsciously— except you made sure lestat wouldn't really die didn't you? he recalls certain things a lot differently sometimes because he refuses to think about them plainly and sometimes because he really can't remember, he's guilty over how claudia came to be, well, claudia but throws almost all the fault on lestat by not acknowledging his better half in turning her, he corners a teenage journalist drugged out of his mind and fucking bitches all the way to hell about lestat only to wax poetics about the man again to the same guy decades later, and so he's a little brain fogged and a lot biased and you can't take any of what he says to scripture, only to find out that!!! his companion!!!! of 77 years!!!! was also!!!! not only Entirely Lying to him on accounts of Huge events of Much significance in his life but also has been abusing his ability to erase whole memories from his head to the point he can't remember fucking attempting suicide and alters memories so terribly too not just with physic powers but also through a lot of manipulation tactics (you Asked me to erase it!) so really the season finale leaves you wondering what better part of paris was all entirely wrong, what of armand and louis' relationship was just entirely fiction or just completely skewed? turned on his head? the man already lost so much to age and the odyssey of recollection now we learn his brain fog is also largely attributed to a whole other person fucking around with it, someone who we know used it A Lot by that point too and probably got careless after the fucking... seventieth decade doing this that louis suddenly noticed his photos being swapped out... armand has gotten so careless and used to power he said shit like well... maybe You put those photos there....well You asked me to erase it.... and louis fucking believed him too!! what of any of it is real, and he must be wondering too after all of it, he wanted this, to remember, he's been wracking his head for details about whether or not claudia was dreaming next to him that night a million years ago and her killer is right there at the table next to him. when he's crying recounting the death of his daughter to the guy who orchestrated it what has he ever really known at all.
#and okay vv important tags bc something i noticed too is that when armand starts yk joining the interview and they both start doing this#thing where they complete each others sentences#& remember the same thing & start recounting using the exact same language#like the i will not harm you bit#did that actually happen? did louis look worried of that? did armand want that to be how they met? some sort of twisted sick fantasy of#what he wishes had happened between them? what he couldn't have eith lestat left him feeling rejected and we know armand has a thing about#being used & discarded so maybe he also wanted to have his own spin on the way things went with louis?#idk but the scenes where they say the same thing are so so akin to the whole#daniel bright young reporter with a point of view bit like we already know he feeds people certain lines when he alters the memory so#them continuing each other's sentences now feels so... unnatural and forced it begs the question that these were all fed lines & rehearsed#lies he wanted to take charge of that interview to say even#iwtv#louis#armand

// given the recent threads I'm thinking about Sybelle's autistic meltdowns as a vampire with the endless uncontrollable crying and sometimes hitting herself and shit they probably wake the whole house with the noise if she didn't manage to soothe herself with angry banging on the piano first 😭
Sometimes she just goes outside and slaughter a few victims but this isn't much of a strategy given her lack of discretion
Hopefully she's more of a shutdown dissociate and doesn't talk for days girly most of the time :')
#ooc;#The piano piece doesn't sound right !!! /Screams#Hopefully those are RARE#But they can happen especially if she hasn't been feeding on time. 💀#Please don't do that now Sybelle holy shit Daniel is gonna feel so BAD 💀💀💀💀 it's not your fault Dan she's in an emotional flashback#time for repetitive compulsion *plays the same piece for twenty times in a row*

#and like. as someone suffering from armand-centric beatlemania. louis and daniel need to get the fuck out of the penthouse but so does he#it all has to collapse and come out and he has to face it and be made to look at it and own it and all the innumerable fucking horrors#and abuses he’s perpetuated. and i haven’t read all the books and who knows if the show is going to take the same tack wrt redemption#and forgiveness and reconciliation etc. maybe it won’t! maybe there isn’t a possibility for that now. but if there is it has to start there#and like. obviously this is not a show about rehabilitating armand lol. i do know that. nevertheless. my awful wretched guy etc#interview with the vampire#iwtv spoilers
