Anyway what I was gonna say is that there's lots of cryptids that are new creatures entirely and that's good very beautiful very powerful, but also not enough cryptids are just a totally normal animal but TOO BIG.

I think we need to take a page from the fleetwood mac fans and re-sensitize ourselves to how crazy it is to write songs about your breakup while the breakup is happening in a band with the person who you're breaking up with and then performing said breakup songs with said person

In the mornings, after Steve has gotten out of bed to jog or lift weights or make them both breakfast, Eddie yawns his arms out and counts his blessings on his fingers. It’s become routine.

Ten things he’s grateful for today: the new comic book Gareth lent him yesterday after band practice. How happy Wayne looked last night eating Steve’s cornbread. The knowledge that he doesn’t have homework to do before Monday. The wildflower patch outside the new trailer’s kitchen window, where he knows bees are buzzing. How warm the bed is even after Steve’s gotten up. The strip of sunshine coming in through the blinds, trailing through the doorway to the kitchen like Steve’s second shadow. How Steve looked last night, making the cornbread for everyone, their little family unit since Steve moved in; kitchen towel on his shoulder, blue jeans low on his hips, happy. How Steve looked after they were done eating, beneath him in their bed, cheeks pink, happy. Steve, happy. Steve….

Who comes into their bedroom, now, shirtless and blushing again, holding two mugs. And Eddie is so, so grateful, shows Steve how much, until their coffee is forgotten and they’re both back in bed.

Loumand is not and CANNOT be a one to one reimagining of their previous roles as sex slave and brothel owner. louis does not have an equivalent power over armand as he did on emotionally, socially, and/or financially vulnerable women in nola, and armand’s submission is not reflective of a real powerlessness under louis

If we want to look for a marius parallel, it wouldnt be in louis who responds to armands initiations and engages in a consensual dom/sub dynamic. if we want to look for a marius parallel, who is in the predatory position here? Who is controlling information and its access? Who is the one exploiting an experience, knowledge, and vampiric power gap to get the love he wants?

But isn’t that the point? That their relationship is a shallow imitation, a re-enactment of roles which comforts both parties for their familiarity and essentialness while they were mortal? Neither of them were ready to grapple with their own identity in a meaningful way and these roles are something safe to hold onto, which may or may not be productive or accurate but they very well know the performance of this position and it is Still and it is Safe and who cares about absolute truths when you’re one wrong thought away from killing yourself

When hannah says their room is like a brothel and when assad says they revert back to older versions of themselves I think it speaks much more on loumands fear and denial to question and understand themselves than it does being a sexploitation revival. Louis put on the masculine, capitalist decision maker persona to survive his racist heteronormative life, and armand embodied the selfless submissive to survive his oppressive life.

Their brothel bedroom is a reinforcement that they have yet to fully actualize their self identity outside the context of the systems of abuse and oppression they have endured. They are vampires, armand transcends the societies that shaped him but hes still living subject and response to it. Both unwilling to be active players in their own lives, still riddled with the weight of their history that dictate them but will not be unpacked

At the end of the day loumand were two deeply traumatized immortals still struggling to come to terms with the enormity of their self so they repeated the behaviours that made them survive. They cannot stomach themselves so they will keep this up, and together they kept on surviving. Until Louis was ready to do the second interview, ready to reflect, to accept himself and move beyond survival.

Armand u are Next.
