I wonder how many of Armand's victims have actively fought back during his "easeful death" speech the way Daniel did.

Daniel's interruptions may be small — not loud or flailing or aggressive — but they're impactful. And while Armand remains composed throughout and continues his practiced monologue without wavering, I'd say for the first three quarters of it he's talking at Daniel. He talks over him, but not really to him. Not until the very end.

Daniel rebuts with:

"I don't want to rest."

"I like my life."

"I have a thing happening in the city."

"I'm a bright young reporter with a point of view."

He's trying so hard to cling onto life. He doesn't want death, even if it is an easeful one. Armand cuts that last interjection off with a "ssh-ssh-ssh," which makes me think this might be a point where Armand's patience is tested. Because things aren't going the way they perhaps normally go when he gives this speech! Daniel isn't begging for death! He's resisting!

And so then, Armand says "rest" a lot near the end of the speech, which we know by this point is an indicator of him controlling bodies. He says, "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay. It'll feel like a bath. Rest. Like honey on your tongue," etc, and maybe this is Armand struggling and fighting harder to get Daniel into the state of obeisance that he wants in his victims. The speech hasn't been working as intended, so he has to rely more on his methods of control and hypnosis.

And finally, after all this, you can see the moment when Daniel finally falls into the trance. It's after a lot of effort on Armand's part, and after he's resorted to his cheaper tricks.

So, if we do get a past Devil's Minion arc, I can see Armand fixating on the fact that Daniel was able to resist the pull and performance of Gentleman Death for an impressive amount of time. That despite all the words Armand said to him, he still longed for life.

Maybe this is what makes him fascinating.

devil’s minion fans watching armand slam daniel around repeatedly, force him onto his knees, and become become fixated on what makes him “fascinating”:

Love can make a heartless person understand compassion and love and even give up everything for the one he loves, including his own life.

for all of y'all arguing over "who's POV is the right one"....

LET. THE. FKING. TALE. SEDUCE YOU

like, I love fan analysis and discussions, meta posts, all of that great stuff that is essential because it shows us fans are here and we're invested in the it!

but fighting like we're in the trenches of 2010s shipwars??

isn't a key aspect of the damned chronicles that the perspective from which a story is told alters the narrative??

"memory is a / the monster"

nobody's version of events is 'correct' or the 'true' story

^^THAT^^ is where the beauty of the books / show lies; in the very nature of the unreliable narrators who recount their versions of events to us, their audience

[starofhisheart]

So that devil's minion teaser huh

I can't wait to see this psychosexual torture of a relationship finally come to fruition!!! Assad has made me really love & sympathise with Armand & I'm excited to see him step into his 'terrorizing his boy' era in ep 5.

Going back to ep 3 after ep 5 and now I can't help but laugh at Armand's apology for Louis invading Daniel's mind. Is it only okay when you do it Armand?
