Not to psychoanalyze (Yes, to do that), but given Armand's history, his only preconception of what love is, is to view it through pure desire. Love - and more broadly accurate, his life purpose for like half a millenia - as only he's ever known it, has only been experienced through transactional wish-fulfillment fantasies, of which he was the one typically sought after to complete such an exchange. And so naturally, in his own seeking, he replicates it. Though to some degree he also replicates the fantastical existence of fictional romances to compensate.
This lack of true experience of love without desire or fantasy, making his always unfilled 'objet petit a' - his object of desire - (a partner he desires a particular love from but does not receive to his fulfillment) - the catalyst for believing there is no other form of love to be had. That he can simply love the person, and be altruistic to their personhood, without them filling a role or desire for him, just would never occur. He's egotistical and overly pragmatic towards others by the fault of formative experiences denying him his own personhood. In being groomed into the object of desire, he no longer sees anyone else but as such. It's equal parts lack of self-awareness, meaning he simply has no way to counter-reflect upon himself the way one should behave, and developed coping mechanism, either consciously or unconsciously, taking on the role of those who inflicted upon him their desires to gain a sense of control over it.
In never escaping this cycle of love as desire, he always denies himself his full person, and simultaneously denies the personhood of others.

i need to talk about this somewhere so it might as well be Tumblr
okay so like for the longest fucking time I was in heavy fucking denial about what was happening in MCU with Peter, alright? Like heavy fucking denial. Like it got to the point where I started avoiding everything Marvel because no what the fuck there's no fucking way all that happened to my poor precious boy
and then I forgot about it and decided to watch Deadpool 1&2 and Venom 1&2 to catch myself up before Deadpool 3 and Venom 3
and then the sneak peek scene in Venom 2 happens
and my brains like "oh motherfuckers they really fuckin did do that to my poor precious boy Peter"
and now I'm going through all fiv fucking stages of grief over this fictional character, like I have genuinely been going through all the God damn stages (because I jump back and forth between them all don't question it its probably the autism)
I was in denial for literal years
I am currently so fucking angry I want to fight every God damn person who worked on the story for the last two Spiderman movies
I desperately want to bargain with them to PLEASE FUCKING FIX THIS AND GIVE HIM A HAPPY ENDING FOR THE LOVE OF GOD
AND THIS WHOLE THING GENUINELY GAVE ME A DEPRESSIVE EPISODE
LIKE HOW DARE THEY PUT EVERYONE THROUGH ALL THAT TROUBLE, AND ALL THAT TIME TRAVEL NONSENSE, HOW DARE THEY FUCKING KILL TONY, WHO PURELY DID ALL OF THIS FOR PETER SPECIFICALLY, ONLY TO RIP IT AWAY FROM HIM AND MAKE EVERYONE FORGET ABOUT HIM, ALL THE AVENGERS, ALL HIS CLOSE FRIENDS, THE ONLY BIOLOGICAL FAMILY HE HAS IS DEAD, BECAUSE SOME ASSHOLE DECIDED TO SPEAK HIS NAME AFTER MANIPULATING HIM INTO LOOKING UP TO HIM
AND I SHOULD CLARIFY, I HAVEN'T EVEN WATCHED THE MOST RECENT MOVIE BECAUSE I KNOW ID GET WAY TOO GOD DAMN EMOTIONAL
thank you for coming to my tedtalk

To me ideal kidnap situation would Kevin and Neil (in a semi non violent aiming for the ramson scenario). Neil who has actual torture experience and does not shut up vs Kevin who is trying to get a good grade at being kidnapped. The kidnappers will be lucky if the police arrives before Andrew does.
i adore you people i truly do where else am i going to get an ask that starts so earnestly with “to me the ideal kidnap situation is…” SERIOUSLY. i feel like anyone who has motivation to kidnap kevin would probably not have it to kidnap neil just because the way i see it who kevin’s at risk of getting kidnapped by is stalkers or raven cultists (either fans or athletes themselves) who would ultimately not really care much for neil. BUT after neil’s dad kicks the bucket and neil tells the fbi everything he knows i do think neil would be put under an IMMENSE target for being a tattletale, and that would be a genuine concern of the moriyamas because his death would be an investment lost
to me the ideal (and funniest) situation is someone trying to kidnap neil and accidentally taking kevin along without recognizing him. can you imagine? you’re here for some fucked up kid of the butcher who put your entire livelihood as a criminal in danger and you happen to accidentally take a FAMOUS ATHLETE along. you were already wrong thinking no one would notice neil’s disappearance and now you have to deal with kevin day’s face blasted on the news everywhere because he went missing. like it’s seriously ridiculous. i think this kidnapper would probably just kill them and be done with it if i’m honest but since we’re having fun i will say that this person will dream of carcerary life if they ever encounter andrew minyard. kevin and neil get saved by moriyama agents eventually but kevin is never getting out of his house again

Tbh the whole metal sonic having a hedgehog oc thing is honestly so good. Yes. The murder robot also deserves the joy of dressing up as a character she made. Reminds me of those sonic ocs that edgy kids used to make that were basically just like. emoer amy rose or something. And I mean that with the most love in the world cause i was one of them kids. He is kinda just an edgy kid too. They deseve the freedom
She literally is my emoer Amy Rose from when I was like nine she is just also in universe Metal Sonic's emoer Amy Rose. (her outfit is actually very vaguely meant to resemble classic amy's since like, metal cares about like three or four people enough to remember them by name and amy is one of them bc, y’know, sonic cd, she considers amy one of the few living things that was useful to her bc she used her as bait she is in universe literally designed after amy rose bc metal was trying to exploit sonic's heroism for like literally two minutes until they started bantering.)

my brain has chosen to combine two of my biggest hyperfixations of recent years and i am now sitting on a beautiful beautiful concept for an rdr2 au set in the 90s hardcore scene in california*
no but imagine dutch as a manager of a diy hardcore band in the age of every major label suddenly looking to sign the next nirvana and promising the world to bands only then to fuck them over beyond belief and try to make them marketable according to what the labels think is marketable (make micah the pushy label a&r)
mix that with the rise of nu metal and the toxic cis het masculinity of it all and how certain bands literally split up because they couldn't handle their queerer weirder audiences get fucked up at festivals by the nu metal bros
make arthur the frontman (javier is lead guitar, john is bass, bill is fhe drummer) who is very uncomfortable with all this on multiple levels
and i haven't settled on the plot wheels yet but charles is either hired into this as a tech (even though he's a really fucking good musician), OR arthur used to do rhythm guitar as well but now they want him to focus more on performance and "arthur will you stop hiding behind that guitar of yours already" and charles is a session musician they hired for a tour to play arthur's rhythm guitar parts
and we are really fucking golden
don't even get me started about how easy would it be to borrow from larry livermore + green day biography to explain why arthur and john have been around for so long
or on the opportunities for all the side characters (o'driscolls and colm easily morph into a version of epitaph records and brett gurewitz and rancid which makes it easy to draw another link between brody dalle and sadie)
* not in the historic precision sense but in a vague rockstar sense because i have no intention of actually being accurate or figuring out how these characters would fit into the existing dynamic of the scene
