#it was a communion service too 😭

[conningconvert]

I finally went to my first church service, but I didn’t think that’s what I was walking into, so I ended up being very overwhelmed and confused. Afterwards the Reverend introduced himself to me and I actually ended up crying in front of him, which was just mortifying, but he was very kind. I do think I’ll go back. When I actually know what’s going on I’ll be able to enjoy it. It’s a beautiful little church!

Congratulations on your first mass! I hope it went well <3 Here's the story of my first and only mass:

I was baptized and confirmed in the Methodist church, but I went to an Episcopal church when I was a toddler. While both Episcopalianism and Methodism have open communion, the Episcopal church practices communion at every service and the Methodist church only does it about once a month.

During this time, my family was visiting my paternal grandparents for Christmas, and they don't regularly go to church, so we ended up at a Catholic church for Christmas Eve service. When it came time for communion, I expected to receive it like I always did, but obviously couldn't since the Catholic church has closed communion. This change in routine was very upsetting to me and it made me cry. And then somebody at the church gave me a peppermint to try to make it up to me.

(I don't remember any of this; I heard the story from my parents lol)

im sorry it took me so long to see this 😭 thats a great story and as a child i wouldve been confused and upset too! i feel specificly drawn to communion and the eucharist specifically and thats one of the biggest things drawing me to catholicism, and while its sad that i cant partake in communion i know in due time I will!

OH THANK GOD. Honestly it’s not an easy choice either lmao but I’m confident I’ll be able to pick one ☝️ before the night is over (I have now narrowed my choices down to 3 yay). Thank you once again for your service to the community ♥️ some further thots 💭 about the previous poll (it’s the trauma starting to unravel I fear). Back in my days as a VC newbie, it was pretty much accepted that Marius was the love of Armand’s life, like no one really ever put that into question or tried to dispute the claims and there was no discourse whatsoever about the relationship being side eye worthy like there is now. Slowly but surely things started changing and Daniel became the people’s princess, fair and square, and that’s a narrative that has for the most part prevailed even if now there is more room for (brilliant, life altering) discourse re: his relationship with Lestat, after it was disregarded by a lot of fans for years as nothing more than a rivalry with a good dose of UST, even though their love for each other has been explicit in the books since the very beginning. But I guess it’s one of those plot points people just preferred to ignore (to favor Loustat maybe? Idk idk). And then Armand himself told Lestat he was the one he’d loved the most. But then again Louis is the person Armand’s been with for the longest and is (arguably) his most functional relationship. What I’m trying to say here is that this truly the impossible choice and it’s making me anxious lmaooo why is Armand like this???? Truly the Helen of Troy of VC 😔 still love ya tho xoxo DA

Let me know what you end up choosing for the kink poll omg PLEASE ♥️

LMAO LISTEN... we all have trauma, it's why we're on Armandblr.

(Never forget that your therapist most likely also has a therapist)

Yeah, my first experience in VC fandom was like that too! 2007ish? REMEMBER BURNTRICE ON LIVEJOURNAL 🫣

I was a baby though lol a very young 12, and I read TVA and TVL first which made me decide that Marius and Lestat were the ones for Armand. I didn't truly appreciate Devil's Minion until I was around 16-17 and the subtler themes really stood out to me, but then it was like Daniel wasn't a viable option for Armand anymore?? At least in the fandom sphere. And Louis and Armand as a couple had ended on such a tragic and seemingly final note, so baby me didn't pick up on all the juicy little tidbits Anne sneaked in there throughout VC for them.

I went cold on Marius as I got older, but I was an L/A girlie FROM DAY ONE EVEN IF I WAS THE ONLY ONE I DIDN'T CARE 😭 there's definitely massive Loustat blinders on a lot of the fandom, but I've got Armand blinders so I can't really blame them, can I? And then PL happened and Trinity Gate is a thing!! Daniel's back!!! Blood Communion validated the heck out of my L/A feelings!!!!

Anne gave me crumbs but oh, what delicious crumbs they are! Bless her. 💖

Now you LOOK HERE, DON'T DRAG MY SHAME OUT LIKE THIS!!😭

The Lord knows my heart, but I'm pretty sure The Big Homie™ would frown upon me sitting in the baptismal pool drinking the communion wine and eating the communion wafers like Lay's because my ass is hungry and I was too afraid to go home after the service because of a damn movie. 😂

“Us” scared me so damn much that I couldn’t sleep when I got home
