so in the movie i just watched apparently vampires will always constantly crave the blood and touch of their maker and now i'm just thinking about how hard those years must've been for louis, like obviously we know he was craving lestat's presence and his touch but him craving his blood just adds another layer to his yearning

do you think maybe there's a chance that Armand was. doing what Armand does. and projecting all over the place when he talked about Louis doing the interview to get Lestat's attention. so in 2022 he reluctantly went along with the interview because maybe he had a vague hope that Marius was still out there like Lestat said, and if anything could attract his attention it would be Armand joining Louis's "reveal ourselves to the entire mortal/vampire world in a book written by our son pet journalist" scheme. and maybe Armand never even admitted to himself that that was something he was considering until his life with Louis crashed down under the weight of his own bullshit, but now he has to make sure Daniel lives long enough to publish the book, sickly mortal body be damned, because what else does he even have anymore?

It’s just…so painful to watch Armand readily submit in order to obtain the love he so desperately craves. And while it’s most assuredly a manipulative tactic, it’s still one borne out of fear and desperation. He cannot lose this person he’s come to love and so will become whatever they want, do whatever they want just so they’ll stay with him. But it won’t be enough. No matter how much he acquiesces or seeks to control (himself, others, the environment), he won’t be able to make Louis stay with him in the perfect life, perfect self he built in the hopes of finally being loved. It will all crumble with Armand left alone in the rubble of what he created, the author of his own abandonment.
#this unfortunately hits way too close to home for me#let’s not even get into Claudia’s anger at never being enough#iwtv spoilers#interview with the vampire#armand#this is just me speaking from personal experience…but there is definite manipulation at play here from Armand#and I don’t necessarily mean that pejoratively- when you’re desperate for people to like/love you you’ll become whatever they want#or whatever you think they’d want and you give it to them so they’ll want to keep you around#I’ve done it so often with the people in my life- and make no mistake it’s also a survival tactic#you give someone what they want they won’t hurt you#and when that’s how you survive for years and years it becomes the default method of interacting with others#even with normal people who genuinely mean you no harm you revert to that people pleasing mode#as a means of control both external and internal#this is what i see armand doing- his way of surviving that he’s never truly broken out of#armand ceding coven control to Louis and curating the Dubai penthouse for Louis are part of the same pattern of behavior#and even tho it’s ultimately harmful and will only end badly for armand and Louis’ relationship#idk if armand knows how to not exist that way with someone he loves/desires#all of this also ties into louis and daniel#because of course Armand will lose it over Louis finding connection and interest with someone else aside from him#someone HUMAN no less#and I can see Armand taking out his anger on Daniel as a way of expressing his own frustration at still not being enough for Louis#breaking daniel’s mind in a desperate attempt to understand why this human could reach Louis in ways he couldn’t#not saying any of this to excuse Armand and his behavior obviously (I’m very upset and worried over the trial looming on the horizon)#but I do understand this impulse and how you’ll throw ANYONE under the bus in order to preserve your place with loved ones#it’s all horrifying but unfortunately I empathize#like even if Louis is right to walk out on him when he learns/remembers the truth of what happened to Claudia#I’ll probably still find myself saddened by Armand’s fate because I’ve absolutely been there myself#it’s a tragedy of his own making- his fear and desperation birthing manipulative and controlling behaviors#that ultimately result in your own abandonment#god this fucking show

If vampire Daniel definitive eye color is orange that would mean that every time Louis will look at Daniel he will only be able to think at Armand and the pain that come with it

and also. having read the first book armand turning daniel on a whim Kind of makes sense to me in hindsight. I guess? I don’t know exactly how it fits into his conceptions about vampirism being a curse - which is what ticks me off the most - but what we do know is that in the books he finds daniel in lestat’s house chasing vampires soon after he leaves louis, where he’s possibly once again perceived as louis’s ‘leftovers’, maybe an object who had access to louis and his sympathy in a way he envies. in both iterations of the story there isn’t any significant period he goes through alone, and we see him attach himself to louis even with the threat of not receiving any love in return hanging over his head, hoping that the love will manifest eventually. now that he’s irreparably bound himself to daniel (fathered him, even) it’s not a stretch to anticipate him developing a very unhealthy attachment to daniel.

I just can't stop about what daniel being turned by armand means?? Armand is the most powerful vampire we have seen in the show (so far hehe) and daniel is his fledgling now, what powers did he inherit?? Is he a powerful one now? Where do the characters stand in the vampiric power hierarchy??

Louis with his ‘I don’t remember any of this’, Daniel clearly remembering only bits and pieces of his first encounter with loumand…… well I guess Armand is the only one in that Dubai building who doesn’t have memory problems (until proven otherwise)

Noah is such an unbelievable bastard oh my fucking god. Leaving Owen to struggle through the challenges alone so much that he collapses from exhaustion the moment he steps on the carpet of completion and ONLY snapping out of it when Emma reiterates what she said the last episode but with a few more words.
If for some reason you think I blow out of proportion how shitty Noah is to Owen in the comic post I swear to whatever god is out there I’m not. It sucks so bad it hurts so fucking BAD

Something I’m going insane about is that in season one we’re told flight is something you can do or you can’t. It’s a gift you either have or you don’t.
BUT in season two we’re shown that Armand can teach vampiric abilities to others. Which means he COULD have taught Louis to fly, but specifically chose to tell him it was a gift that was innate.

I have a 100% serious question tho, and Ive been wracking my brain trying to figure this out: How can yall tell that Armand is praying in the wrong direction? I understand the whole Pray in The Direction of Mecca, but how do we know where that is in relation to an appartment that doesn't exist?
